Attack on Titan: Team Battle Models Real Omni-Directional Gear
Capcom's Attack on Titan arcade game will have a custom control setup modeled after the series' most iconic tool.
According to Anime News Network the game itself, Attack on Titan: Team Battle, is being called an "online cooperative action" game. Perhaps more importantly to fans of the manga and anime source material, however, is the eight-player game's hardware.
Each Team Battle machine has its own set of controls modeled after Attack on Titan's Omni-directional Mobility Gear (a.k.a. the Three Dimensional Maneuvering Equipment). For those unfamiliar, it's basically a set of gas-powered grappling hooks used by the series' military to swing, leap, and scale through the air. Particularly while battling Attack on Titan's titular, man-eating giants.

Speaking to IGN at DICE in Las Vegas, Kojima explained that he wants the developers on his team to feel comfortable and have opportunities for growth.
“In order to create something that is really of quality, you need technology, but more than technology, you need people,” Kojima said via a translator. “You need talented people.

MS Feared XBLA Would ‘Completely Destroy’ Consoles
Despite the fact that Xbox Live Arcade grew to become an incredibly-successful platform for Microsoft, it wasn't initially welcomed with open arms. In fact, there was an internal fear at the company during the early days of Xbox that XBLA would bring about the end of the console business.
XBLA creator Greg Canessa recently stopped by the IGN office to discuss the online platform, revealing that many at Microsoft "didn't understand" that Xbox Live Arcade offered different types of gaming experiences, and as such, wasn't a threat to the console industry.
"There was a legitimate fear that Xbox Live Arcade was going to cannibalize retail sales and completely destroy the console industry," Canessa said on the latest episode of IGN Unfiltered. "That was actually a quote I got from one of the internal folks."
