It’s time for anotherBrinktrailer, folks! Like yesterday’s “Get Smart” video, this one goes over a few things that should be familiar to first-person-shooter veterans already. It’s about objectives, and how to complete them. Pretty simple. It’s out May 10 in North America and May 13 in Europe. It’s looking set to be my new online jam. Hope it plays as good as it looks, because it looks killer.
Action acclaim Subscribe to the podcast viaiTunesordownload it here. It’s the eve of the release of Remedy’s new action shooterQuantum Break. That’s important for two reasons. First, Remedy notably takes its time with its projects, meaning that there’s usually a long wait between games. But, more excitingly,Quantum Breakis a very good game. Our reviewwent up last Friday, and I scored it an 8.5. However, I wasn’t the only one on staff playing....

When a new character is introduced in a game likeOverwatch 2, there’s some kind of point of contention regarding balance. Are they on the weaker side and will contribute nothing to the meta or will they shape a new meta? Well, it seems that with Mauga being introduced in Season 8, he’s in the latter, for both bad and some good. Mauga is the latest tank to join the ever-expanding roster ofOverwatch 2and he’s been a problem....
Changing the world Block-by-Block Here at Destructoid, we routinely host contests for various gaming prizes. Things like free copies of upcoming games to plush penises from Devolver Digital: Dtoid has given back to the community in small ways over the years. Those giveaways have brought some of you closer to us, for which I will always be grateful, but I was completely blown away by the story of one of our contest winners....
Have you ever playedPop’n Music? This Konami Bemani game has a following in Japan, where nimble fingered gamers mash buttons in arcades to the beat of insanely fast music (shown above). But not so much in the US, where we’d rather be at home playingRock BandorGuitar Hero. American “poppers” are usually stuck importing the JapanesePop’ngames, butBemanistylehas some news on an upcoming console version. It seems that a US version will be calledBeat’n Groovy, and will be a Konami published Xbox Live Arcade game....
Newstoid, a Smash 4 guide by ZeRo, Destructoid is a lot like Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. It may look like just another unpredictable carnival of joy and horror on the surface, but behind the scenes, there are hordes of even more wonderful, horrible things going on around the clock that are essential to keeping the show on the road. For instance, we’ve been working with our own Jed Whitaker and Dtoid’s longtime pal Jess Brohard on a weekly news program to our YouTube channel for over a month now....

The legality of refunds is being looked at on a global scale While legislation has been “looking” at loot boxes for some time, a lot of powers that be have set their sights on a new target:the right to refunds. Steam got ahead of the situation very early by offering a generous refund policy, but a few other marketplaces have a long way to go. Nintendo is throwing people a bone as of this week when it comes to the eShop....

I wrote this game off as aCooking Mamarip-off early on, but the screens and details coming out here lately slowly changed my mind. If anything, this is a “rip” of the Food Network television show, and I mean that in a good way. I’m not feeling the trailer, though.
