Believe it or not, Oryx, the Taken King, is returning toDestiny 2. Bungie confirmed as much in aDeveloper Livestream forEpisode: Heresy, but there’s obviously a lot of information the studio has yet to give us. We know we’ll be venturing back into the Dreadnaught, and the Taken and Hive will be involved, but we lack the finer details. The stream did, however, provide players with an idea of what the bones ofHeresywill look like....
It’s about what you’d expect My gut reaction to the news thatcertain games would be “upgradable”to their next-generation counterparts, whether that be on Xbox One or PlayStation 4, was that the savings had better be significant. And they are! If you buyBattlefield 4,Watch Dogs,Call of Duty: Ghosts, orAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flagon PS3, you’ll be able to get the same title on PS4 for a mere $9.99. Sonyhas detailedthe digital upgrade process today....
Good luck with your pre-orders Sony has really taken to celebrating the PlayStation’s heritage in the past few years. 2014 was PlayStation’s 20th anniversary, which was met with all sorts of fanfare and special edition products. Last month, alimited edition translucent PS4was released in honor of PlayStation hitting 500 million console sales across all platforms. The next step is straight out of Nintendo’s playbook. On December 3, Sony will launch a $100 miniature version of the original PlayStation....
It was…unrelated Three days ago the officialSouth ParkTwitter account posteda tweet that stated“Nin-ten-do. I’m coming. I’m coming, Nin-ten-do #blizzard2017,” leading some to believe that it was a tease for a Switch version of the upcoming RPGSouth Park: Fractured But Whole. But since it was under the general account for the show and not necessarily the game, it was probably just a commentary on the recent snow the east coast has been getting....
They’re finally friends Human sacrifice! Mass Hysteria! Dogs and Cats, living together! Sega and Bandai Namco have only gone and done it, they’ve only gone and seen two pioneering 3D fighting rivals finally shake hands. As revealed during this weekend’sVirtua Fighter CupTournament—OfficialTekkencrossover DLC is headed toVirtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown. Now, before y’all lose your minds, we aren’t talking about characters, (at least notyet), but Sega has revealed thatTekkencostumecontent will be making its way toVF5: Ultimate Showdownat some point in the future....
Check out everything Destructoid did today The hotly anticipatedAliens: Colonial Marinesdropped today, much to the eventual disappointment of about everyone who has played it. Jim tore it up, defeated and sad, in his review, if you’re interested. But maybe there is something toColonial Marines. I mean, how many first-person shooters allow you to play through long stretches of the game without having to fire your weapon? The folks over atPCGamesNmight have inadvertently sold me on the game with this video, which hints at the subversive commentaryColonial Marinesoffers in a AAA landscape filled with wanton violence and … No, I’m kidding, don’t play this game....
Coming soon for consoles and maybe PC Majesco may be hanging by a thread these days (the company only has five full-time employees at the moment), but that isn’t stopping it from publishing “new exciting titles” likeA Boy and His Blob. Among other things, departing CEO Jesse Sutton told shareholders a new entry in the series would be releasing sometime in the next two quarters. There is currently little other information on the new project, other than that Majesco plans to exclusively focus on digital content from here on out, as it seemingly can no longer afford the “high risk” retail gaming business....
And a progress update on the Switch port Yooka-Layleeis perhaps my biggest video game disappointment this year, but I think Playtonic can and will get the game to a much better place. The teamhas detaileda hefty content update releasing this month — first on PC, then consoles — that wastes no time addressing players’ niggling complaints. It’s worth noting that bug fixes areseparate from this listand they’ll be “detailed later.”...
What’s the deal with airline food? Oh,SpacePirate Ridley. You are my hero. ThisPersonaandSeinfeldcrossover parody is what dreams are made of, and I can’t wait to see more. Taken from the NeoGAFPersonaCommunity Thread, the above still is the result of one forum-goer’s pursuit to createSeinfeld-themed nods toPersona 4. And it’s awesome. I love the attention to detail in this mock-up and sincerely wish I were a fraction as talented of an artist....
Spoiler warning I reckon I owe everyone an apology. It’s been nearly two years since I wrote my last listicle, a magnum opus that propelled me to the ranks of Dtoid’s elite. It’s been over a month since my last front-page piece, a stunning review that nonetheless left many asking, “Who the hell is Bass anyway?” I’ve been slacking. I cannot apologize enough for that. Since Easter is my favorite holiday, and since I’m trying to remedy this whole “not writing” thing, I figured I’d make a new Easter-themed listicle to get back into the groove of things....
Matt Makes Games, made a game Matt Makes Games, better known as Matt Thorson, has been on my watchlist sinceTowerFall. It was a pretty amazing brawler for what was essentially a one-man show, andCelestelooks like it’ll be yet another day-one type of game. The whole idea is to “climb a mountain,” with platforming trappings and everything that comes with it. While we’ve known all this for a bit Matt has finally revealed the release window, and we won’t have to wait much longer as it’s coming in January 2018....
Shovel Knight collaboration confirmed There were concerns thatTravis Strikes Againwas going to be an indie-tier game focusing on mini-games, but it has been confirmed by Grasshopper Manufacturer that it’s a “raucous 3D action title, where Travis touchdown wields the Beam Katana to massacre his way through countless enemies, taking on ferocious bosses in an epic battle with Badman.” Seven years after the events of the originalNo More Heroes, Badman heads to the “remote countryside of the southern US” totrack down Travis Touchdown, who appears to be living in a trailer, to enact his revenge for the death of his daughter, Badgirl....
Implementing temporary programs to hold players over for permanent changes If you’ve been playingForza Motorsport 5, you’re probably very familiar with the game’s awful microtransactions. If not, basically the game uses tokens you buy in-game that can be used to purchase cars if you don’t have enough credits. The problem is it’s severely broken and takes advantage of consumers, specifically with the value of said tokens being misleading. Players are not happy, andTurn 10 respondedto both their feedback and in-game data with programs to be implemented this week as a means of tiding players over for the supposed permanent changes to come to theForza 5economy....
