I still don’t like the light bar Did You Know Gaming takes a crack at the PlayStation 4, mostly filled with info you probably already knew, but is worth the refresher all the same. As someone who picked up a PS4 at launch it was interesting to feel all of these memories rushing back. Like the fact that many launch models had issues, including mine, which outright broke due to the blinking blue light of death....
Early Access is wrapping up and it’s releasing on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in mid-May I’m not so burned out on indie action-platformers that I have to scroll past new ones that show up – at least not at the moment. I could see myself getting invested inRising Hell, a heavy-metal “vertical platformer” about fighting through hell, when it launches in May 2021 on PC and consoles....
The Christmas surprises keep coming! We should count ourselves so lucky! I’ve repeated this over and over — I’m sure you’re all quite tired of hearing my pissing and moaning by now — but this has not been a good year for Mega Man. Just when we thought 2011 would end on a downer for little boy blue, indie developer King releases an unbelievably charmingMega Manclone calledRokko Chan, a Flash game in the vein ofthe 8-bit classics....
Brains over brawn. Bandai Namco’s action-RPGScarlet Nexusis set for the summer, and today we got some new looks at what it will look like to smack enemies around with your brain powers while playing as its protagonists. In the first cut, Yuito takes on a big enemy called the “Slippy Chinery” by using Pyrokinesis on it. Like I’ve always said, when in doubt, fire is probably the way forward. And while Yuito can do plenty of rad-looking slams and mind attacks, fellow controllable character Kasane can also use telekinesis, taking out groups of monsters (called “Others”) at a time....
I go for a good shoot-em-up now and again. I’m awful. Laughably bad, even. Blind monkeys are probably better shmup players than I am. Yet I always get that itch to embarrass myself — to myself, mind, as I’d never carry on like this in public. Soldner X-2is the sequel to, well,Soldner X.They are shmups, which means that they will inevitably crush my spirit. It has been announced by developer eastasiasoft thatSoldner X-2is coming out on PlayStation Network on May 25th in North America (priced at $12....
We’ll be ‘very vigilant’ about leaks, says Yoshida Copies ofUncharted 4: A Thief’s Endhave been stolen in the UK, says Sony. In a post onPlayStation Blog, Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida stated that the company was working with police to resolve the matter as part of an ongoing UK criminal investigation. “We have some unfortunate news to report that a number of copies ofUncharted 4: A Thief’s Endwere stolen while in transit,” Yoshida said....
Vegeta and Golden Frieza were already in Of all places, we’re learning more about an anime game at Microsoft’s X018 event today. Jump Forcehas been gaining momentum since its E3 reveal and today publisher Bandai Namco confirmed two more characters: SSGSS (Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, or Super Saiyan Blue – I know right?) Vegeta and Golden Frieza. The latter was basically a shoe-in based on footage earlier this year but Vegeta is getting a second form as well....
Wise man say: “Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza.” One of the most delightful games of 2022 wasTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. From the team over at Tribute Games, it was a wonderful return to form for the heroes in a half-shell, capturing the early ‘90s era of great arcade action amidst the current resurgence of the beat’em up genre. The game dropped on all major platforms last year, and earlier this week, it finally made thejump to mobile through Netflix Games....
Check out everything Destructoid did today Two weeks ago I shared a really coolJapanese Mercedes commercialand made mention to a similar anime collaboration. Here is that Louis Vuitton collaboration, based off of the “superflat” art-style of Takashi Murakami. If you see similarities to the wonderfulSummer Wars(or evenDigimon: The Movie), it’s because the commercial was done by the director of those films, Mamoru Hosoda. There’s even a (higher video quality!) sequel of sorts featuring the little girl grown uphere....
Where was the uproar about this? [An earlier version of this piece had an inaccurate statistical description of one of the downloadable weapons. The offending paragraph has been updated for factual accuracy.] I know, I’m late to the party. Despite being interested in 2013’sThe Last of Uson PlayStation 3, I kept putting off getting it. When the current-generation remaster showed up as a pack-in for the PlayStation 4 late last year, I finally took the plunge....
You can say ‘all of them’ We’ve reached a crossroads again. For nearly two years the amiibo hunt has been relatively smooth sailing, but that period of peace is over. After theAnimal Crossing overstock debacle that followedthe dark times of Wave 4, Nintendo cooled their jets on just about everything amiibo related, with very little in the way of store exclusives and stock issues. But ever since the announcement thatthe final trio ofSmashamiibo(thus closing out the set folks have been waiting years to complete) would get not one, but two figures each, all hell broke loose again....

“WHAT A SHOCK!” said no-one ever As Activision grapples with the issues facingTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 5‘s current-gen versions, the publisher has decided to put the release of the last-gen versions on hold. In a statement toEurogamer, Activision didn’t specify how long the game will be delayed for, but EG speculates that we’re unlikely to see the game on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 in 2015 at all, let alone any time near the original November 13 release date....
