Nintendo masterpiece Zelda: Ocarina of Time has been released on numerous platforms - N64, GameCube, and most recently on 3DS. But you've never seen it like this.
Death Mountain's crater area has been remade using Unreal Engine 4. In short, there's lots of very pretty lava.
The tech demo, created and shown off on YouTube by programmer CryZENx, can be downloaded for free if you want to take a look around yourself.
Maybe this is how Ocarina of Time will look officially when it gets its inevitable NX port?
Microsoft has announced that it is enabling cross-network play for developers, which would allow Xbox One owners to play against people on PC networks and other consoles.
ID@Xbox Director Chris CharlaannouncedonXboxWire that Microsoft is offering up a bunch of new tools for developers, chief of which could open the door for multiplayer withPS4players.
"Of course, it's up to game developers to support this feature, and Xbox Live players will always have the option of choosing to play only with other Xbox Live players," said Charla.
"We're thrilled to confirm that Psyonix's Rocket League will be one of the first games to take advantage of this new capability by enabling cross-network play between Xbox One and PC players, with an open invitation for other networks to participate as well."
Obviously the potential for any cross-play between Xbox One and PS4 depends on Sony, but there's a good chance we'll see developers on the Steam platform making use of the new tools. We've asked Sony for comment on where it stands.
eluctant political pundit and former child star Aaron Carter sounds off on Donald Trump and the haters.
Former child star and voice of the nation Aaron Carter, now 28, made headlines last week for announcing his support of Donald Trump (via Twitter, natch). Carter tweeted: "Does America want to have a president who FOLLOWS or someone who leads? I vote For @realdonaldtrump." What followed was a blitzkrieg of questions from fans and trolls that left Carter wondering—and he has a point here—why everyone cares. Well, at least one of us is a lifelong Aaron Carter fan who felt genuinely bummed out by this development. This lifelong fan wanted to give Carter a shot at explaining himself. And he did, kinda.
GQ: So are you kind of stressed right now? Aaron Carter:Am I stressed? Hell yeah, I’m stressed.
Did you know that this tweet would get you a lot of attention? It was more than just a tweet, I guess. I support Donald Trump. I don’t support every little thing. Trump goes his own way. He’s a leader, not a follower, and he’s proven that by humbling the other campaigns. I think in regards to him becoming president, well, the electoral college will be the decider.
If Trump can’t change some of his ways of thinking, then I’m just going to sit this one out.
So what elements of his platform do you not support, and when do those things outweigh what you do support? I don’t agree with banning gay marriage. It’s outlandish, because he has supported the gay community before. And building a wall is totally outrageous.
But the things you do agree with are more important than his stance on immigration or gay marriage? Well, I mean, there’s still time to see how it works out. And I haven’t even made my vote. If Trump can’t change some of his ways of thinking, then I’m just going to sit this one out.
Have you voted before? No. This is the first time I’ve ever really engaged in politics.
What made you so interested in the election this time around? I mean, recently I’ve been rebuilding my life, I’ve been rebuilding my image and career. I went from five years ago making $30,000 a year doing the off-Broadway productionFantasticksto the next year getting back on my feet, proving myself, and grossing over $1.5 million that year. Everyone thought I was broke, but I actually haven’t been broke. There have been a lot of things people don’t understand about my story. So I kind of just find myself being able to relate. I like what he’s doing for taxes for the people. And I like what he’s focused on. Like, let’s worry about our deficit right now. And about our country. And about how we can actually make it great again. He’s proving that sometimes you have to file for bankruptcy and rebuild. I can relate. I’ve been through it.
You said that there were some things that people misunderstood about your story. What’s one thing that you’d like to set people straight on? Well, when I turned 18, I got $2 million in trust-fund money, and I got $4 million in taxes my parents didn’t pay when I was 11 and 12 years old. I worked really hard for that money. My whole life. Up until I was 18. Doing thousands and thousands of shows, working and providing for my family. When my brother was 18 years old, he was out of the house. Didn’t take care of the family. I started when I was 7 years old, and I was a provider for my family, too. If I could set people straight, I wouldn’t want anyone to feel sorry for me. Like, get your facts straight. Like, actually get your facts straight.
Like, get your facts straight. Like, actually get your facts straight.
I filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and it cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars to file that bankruptcy. And I went from making $30k a year to the next year grossing $1.5 million, to being like, Okay, I’m going to do a bankruptcy because I have no choice. Just because I made $1.5 million doesn’t mean I have $4 million, or even that I feel responsible for paying those taxes, and that’s why I filed a bankruptcy. And I’m like, I don’t want to endure public humiliation, people thinking that I’m broke. And I don’t want people thinking my parents broke child-labor laws. So I was like, I can handle this. I love my mom and dad, and they are responsible for giving me my career. And I still have one today. So I’ll file for bankruptcy, and I’ll pay 25 cents on the dollar for every cent I pay back. But guess what!
What? I got a Chapter 7, do you know what that is?
Not really. It’s usually a Chapter 11 and a Chapter 13, but I got 7, which is a full discharge. And I said to the judge, "I’m here today because this is my story"—and I ran through it like a timeline, just like I did with you—and he said, "You know what, I’m going to give you a Chapter 7. Boom. Get out of my courtroom. You have no debt, and your credit score is back to 750. And you have no debt and neither do your parents." And he said, "Your parents better thank you for this."
Wouldn't having all of this unfolding in the public eye make you want to be a more private person? I don’t know. Do you want me to be?
Definitely not. I am who I am.
Have you ever gone through this kind of bullying before? Of course. I told people earlier this year that Michael Jackson passed a torch to me. Because he did. People in Michael Jackson’s camp, you can interview them and they will tell you that he did. They will tell you that. I was passed the torch, in how to treat people and what to do with my career and my life. And Michael Jackson told me he started recognizing me from when I was a little boy, because I broke his record when I was eight years old, being the youngest guy to have four singles in the Billboard charts at the same time. I broke Michael Jackson’s record for it. And I broke it with one of his songs, "One Bad Apple." And so he knew about me. He said, I watched your career. But I got bullied by all the so-called Michael Jackson fans. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves, if you’re reading this article. And Michael Jackson would be ashamed of you. Because you do the exact opposite of what he stood for.
Is there a tweet that you do regret? I don’t regret any tweets. No.
I read that you’ve been getting some death threats. Do you worry about those? I’m not scared. I just call them out. I shine the light on cockroaches. And you know what happens?
What? They scatter. They scatter. Or, they try to stand their ground and it doesn’t work out for them, especially when they have, like, fourteen followers.
I take everything personally, but that’s because I’m so personable.
Do you take it personally? I take everything personally, but that’s because I’m so personable. And that’s because I can really relate to myself, I can really look in the mirror and know what I’m all about.
Good luck to you. Happy tweeting! Ha. "Fool's Gold" is my single, out on April 1st. You gotta go buy it, girl.

"I am not kidnapped," the 67-year-oldtold Entertainment Tonight by phone. "No one should be worried about me ... The people that surround me are wonderful people who take great care of me."
Simmons has largely stayed out of the public eyesince a 2014 knee injury.
He told Entertainment Tonight that he's "just been taking it easy," "staying out home, working out" because he needed "some time to be by myself" after 40 years of relentless commitments and a "very difficult" knee-replacement surgery. The fitness fanatic dismissed reports of any potentially-embarrassing weight gain.
Inan interview with NBC's TODAY, Simmons added that his "health is "good" and that he takes regular walks and drives in addition to using the gym in his home.
"For all the people that were worrying about me, I want to tell them that I love them with my whole heart and soul and that not to worry, Richard's fine,''he said by phone Monday morning. "You haven't seen the last of me. I'll come back, and I'll come back strong."
