Check out everything Destructoid did today I hate summer. Barbeques, conventions, and pool parties are all good and well, but the inescapable heat is just too much. Even now, writing this recap, I’m damn near stripped to my bare ass and still sweating like nobody’s business. Winter is coming, just never fast enough. Today, Microsoft confirms that Kinect 2.0 will not work on PC, Screwattack decides who would win in a fight between Shao Kahn and M....

Also, it’s my birthday and I’m dressed extra stupid. Hey gang! It’s my birthday! Go birthday! Also, Tara’s out sick, so Anthony Carboni guest-hosted. Or substitute-hosted, I suppose. Go Anthony! Big news today isSkyrim’sDragonborn DLC,which looks really friggin’ cool.Grand Theft Auto Vis now pre-orderable, though we don’t have a new trailer because Rockstar’s power is still out. Hey, want some jewelry for your neck? Buy theDmC: Son of Sparda Edition. Wanna play theWii U?...

Naughty Dog only ‘somewhat involved’ with Uncharted movie, too Almosta year and a half agoThe Last of Uswriter Neil Druckmann, who was penning the script for the film, was explaining how it would be “pretty faithful” despite “some big changes,” which is fun. But speaking toIGN, Druckmann explains, “I know I said in an interview a while back we had a table read, got the script to a good place and it kind of entered development hell like these things tend to do....

Aka the best way Have you ever tried playing your Nintendo Switch in bed? It works, but I constantly end up shifting my body weight in a fruitless bid to keep my upper arms from falling asleep. Now I know what you’re probably thinking. “Kevin, this is probably one of the laziest ways that you can play video games.” WRONG!We can go lazier. Phawx, a user over at NeoGAF,uploaded this video yesterdaydetailing a 3D-printed visor similar to those cheap, worthless, plastic VR headsets for smartphones that have flooded the market recently....

One of the great things about videogames is how absurd they can be. Whether this absurdity is intentional (Noby Noby Boy) or unintentional (“All your base are belong to us!”) it’s always nice to see games that aren’t afraid to beridiculous. While movies and television have a stricter reliance on sticking to a somewhat cohesive narrative, videogames have the luxury of throwing normalcy out the window and offering something that can only be found in the world of gaming....

‘These people are your responsibility!’ Homecomingwas the Hollywood take onSilent Hill. All crisp and clean, with a Jensen Ackles-type in the lead, and a straightforward plot that paid more homage to Dean Koontz’sPhantomsthan Koji Suzuki’sDark Water. What was once opaque and foreign was now transparent and insular.Homecomingdidn’t have much to say as a game or a story, nor about the series itself. But it did, as product, tell us how companies like Konami were struggling to compete with big-money marketing of its Western competitors....

You can see it now You know those “year in review” tools, and how they’re all called something different? WellSteam just unleashed theirs out into the world, and it’s going to be a doozy for most Steam users: since, you know, there’s probably a lot of games lingering on your Steam accounts. The “Steam Replay” feature showcases several aspects of your 2022 gaming habits: The comparison data is interesting, as the average amount of achievements unlocked per Steam player in 2022 is 21, the average amount of games played was five, and the longest streak is nine days....

Looks great regardless The main event of today’s third-party Xbox Series X gameplay stream wasAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. After something of a mix-up last week as to what exactly would be shown, we ended up with a 90-second trailer instead of an extended overview as to what the game looks like in action. It’s not quite a gameplay trailer, it’s more like a cinematic trailer that’s technically made up of in-game footage....

Train kept a-rollin’, all night long I’m loving this video ofBattlefield 4, which features the “Golmud Railway” map and a 64-player attempt to bring its moving train to a halt. Is it funny because the train seems to ignore the laws of physics applied to all other vehicles in the game, or am I just laughing at the brilliant application of Ludacris’ “Move Bitch (Get Out the Way)”? Probably a little of both....
