| Overcooked is a cooperative cooking game on LSD Posted: 11 Feb 2016 03:00 PM PST While it isn't the Hell's Kitchen game I've always dreamed of, Overcooked has me interested. Looks like you can cook with three other friends in various kitchens while dealing with earthquakes, melting ice, space, and so forth. Judging by the gameplay video below from Eurogamer, Overcooked will have a story mode that is just as crazy as you'd expect. The level shown has players cooking to save the Onion Kingdom by feeding a giant spaghetti-and-meatballs monster. |
| Infinity Ward is developing this year's Call of Duty game Posted: 11 Feb 2016 02:00 PM PST
Infinity Ward, the developer of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series as well as Call of Duty: Ghosts, confirmed it is working on the next game in the Call of Duty series to be released this year, shocking absolutely no one. Considering the history of the series, it would be surprising if this doesn't end up being a sequel to Ghosts, even if it wasn't that well-reviewed. |
| Splatoon: Which is better, Pokemon Red or Blue? Posted: 11 Feb 2016 01:05 PM PST Pokémon Red or Pokémon Blue? Splatoon's latest Splatfest is forcing us choose between them. Players will need to pick a side by next Friday, February 19 at 10pm PT, when the shooter's latest special event is set to begin. The contest will last one full day and take place worldwide, though it will still be region-specific, pairing players with their neighbors and feature localized results for each territory. I'm Team Red, all the way, baby. Come at me, Blue Bros! |
| Here's what the closed beta for Homefront: The Revolution looks like Posted: 11 Feb 2016 11:00 AM PST After experiencing utter disappointment with the first Homefront I expected nothing less than the same crushing feeling playing the Revolution closed beta (which kicked off today on Xbox One). But to my surprise it was...okay? "Serviceable," is probably what I'm going for here. The build is still very rough (they have a decent amount of time until May to fix it), but there's at least something there for people who like to grab a few friends and dive into mission-based gameplay. |
| Sci-fi RPG Consortium free on GOG.com Posted: 11 Feb 2016 10:30 AM PST As a nice promotion for the ongoing Consortium: The Tower Kickstarter campaign, Interdimensional Games is giving away Consortium: The Master Edition on GOG.com for 48 hours. In his review of the player-choice-driven sci-fi game, our good pal Steven called it "a nice change of pace for anyone who wants that older style of RPG where you learn about someone's mom who is suffering from Alzheimer's, argue whether or not video games are insulting 'murder simulators,' and are exposed to suspicious organized religion." The promo lasts until Saturday, February 13. Try to remember your login info and jump on it. |
| Kanye West reveals new game about his mother ascending to heaven Posted: 11 Feb 2016 10:00 AM PST The man who sold $120 plain white t-shirts on the side while pursuing a successful rapping career is about to add game designer to his resume. Kanye West had previously announced he was working on a game about his mother ascending to heaven based on his single, "Only One," and has revealed the first footage of it as seen above. Speaking to WWPR-FM of New York, Kanye said, "The idea is, it's my mother going through the gates of heaven, and you have to bring her to the highest gates of heaven by holding her to the light. We've been working on it for like six months." While we all anticipate the release of what is surely going to be a game-changer for the whole video game industry, I guess we will have to stick to Kanye Quest 3030 for the time being as the closest thing we've got. |
| Five Nights at Freddy's World updated and released for free Posted: 11 Feb 2016 09:30 AM PST Five Nights at Freddy's World (or FNaF World for short) has re-released for free following its removal from Steam after developer Scott Cawthon admitted it had been released too early. This updated version of the role-playing game includes a remodeled 3D overworld and many other new features. What exactly the other new features are is unknown at this time, aside from a few bug fixes and tweaks to boss difficulty and the character select screen. FNaF World is currently only available for PC via GameJolt and is planned for mobile devices in the future. |
| You can rename your dudes in Total War: Warhammer Posted: 11 Feb 2016 09:00 AM PST Creative Assembly is giving us another glimpse at the particulars of Total War: Warhammer. Just like the Greenskins walkthrough before it, this video drops us partway into a campaign, albeit with the Empire. It's seven minutes long, but that feels like no time at all for a game of this scope. Aside from the Legendary Lords, who are taken directly from lore, you'll have the option to rename all of your characters. You totally should. The more ridiculous, the better. |
| 3DS action-RPG Sadame coming to the West Posted: 11 Feb 2016 08:30 AM PST This is my first time seeing Sadame, a top-down action-RPG from Mebius and Rising Star Games, and I'm on board. The basic premise: a samurai, ninja, monk, and rogue battle demons in Japan's Sengoku period, earning better equipment and skills along the way to face 20+ bosses. The four characters have branching paths in the story, and upon completing the game, you can continue on a harder difficulty with your existing weapons and armor. Sounds like a good time to me! Sadame is coming to the 3DS eShop on February 25, 2016 in North America and Europe. As far as I've seen, Rising Star hasn't listed the pricing yet. Check out that concept art. |
| Activision says there will be a Destiny sequel in 2017 Posted: 11 Feb 2016 07:41 AM PST Plans to follow Destiny up with a full-fledged, proper sequel haven't changed, but they've been pushed back a little bit. Activision says that the Bungie-developed shooter is expected to launch a second game in the series sometime in 2017. The news comes as a part of Activision's fiscal 2015 fourth quarter report, which was released to investors today. In the "publishing highlights" section, Activision makes mention of the next Destiny. Bungie and Activision seemingly still have substantial content for 2016, though. The report indicates that there will be a "large, new expansion" sometime later this year. Players can probably expect something akin to last year's Taken King add-on. Really, there's probably no need to rush a sequel out to market, anyway. Destiny has seen a resurgence as of late in both popularity and popular opinion. Activision backs this notion by stating that the game has over 25 million users who have logged more than three billion hours of playtime. Fourth Quarter 2015 Results [Activision Blizzard] |
| Ubisoft has some awfully lofty expectations for The Division's launch Posted: 11 Feb 2016 07:30 AM PST Ubisoft released its most recent earnings report this morning. As is customary during those sort of things, Ubisoft co-founder and CEO Yves Guillemot talked to investors about the company's past and predicted its future. Tom Clancy's The Division will evidently play quite the role in the publisher's future. In the financial statement, Guillemot said "The Division ... is set to be one of the largest launches of a new brand in the history of the video game industry." Guillemot also confirmed that the closed beta that recently ended "exceeded all of our expectations." It's unclear by what metric Guillemot anticipates The Division will see that level of success. Units shipped, units sold, pre-orders, and active player base are a few separate ones that, while correlated, mean different things. Undoubtedly, the one that matters most to Ubisoft is the one that bolsters its bottom line. Between The Division, Far Cry Primal, and the first DLC pack for Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft expects to see almost $670 million in sales. Surely, a good chunk of that will be from The Division. For comparison's sake, Ubisoft had sales of $192.6 million during the same period last year. Admittedly, Guillemot's statement sounds kind of hyperbolic right now -- a marketing tactic meant to trigger the "me too!" part of our brains. But, there's clearly data to back it up; he said it to investors, after all. Regardless, it seems as if Ubisoft has pegged The Division to be a success before it even launches. Move over, Watch Dogs. There's likely to be a new king soon. Ubisoft Reports Third-Quarter 2015-16 Sales [Globe Newswire]

| See what's new in Twilight Princess HD Posted: 11 Feb 2016 07:00 AM PST As a follow-up to that recent story trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, Nintendo has put together a video overviewing the new features. There are quite a few additions for this Wii U re-release, including easier item equipping and map usage, gyroscope aiming, off-TV play, stamps for Miiverse (!!!), and amiibo support. Granted, if you have been following along with our coverage beat by beat, the footage shown here won't be revelatory, but it's a nice to see this stuff in motion. I forgot how shiny the faces are. |
| Alto's Adventure goes free for Android Posted: 11 Feb 2016 06:30 AM PST Snowman's lovely snowboarding game Alto's Adventure landed on Android today and it's free. While this is a premium title on iPhone and iPad, the Android version instead has "a variety of opt-in bonuses for players who might need a little extra help, or otherwise want to show their support," according to the studio, who assures the "core gameplay experience" remains the same. "After playing games such as Crossy Road and Threes! Free we began to understand that free-to-play can be done in a very tasteful and respectful manner," wrote Snowman co-founder Ryan Cash. "We also heard about the crazy levels of piracy on Android (thanks in part to Ustwo Games' incredibly insightful Monument Valley infographic), and wanted to ensure that Alto's Adventure could be as accessible as possible for everyone, while still being good for business." Sounds reasonable to me. It would be wonderful to see this team continue making games. |
| Backwards Man, the Backwards Man, four games added to Xbox backward compatibility plan Posted: 11 Feb 2016 06:00 AM PST Remember Freddy Got Fingered? Damn, that movie was great. "Daddy, would you like some sausage? Daddy, would you like some sausa-ges?" I sing that every time my roommate's cooking breakfast food. Classic. This film is a goddamn American institution. Or, it should be. Children in school should watch a different scene every morning immediately after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. It should play on the jumbotron at every Major League Baseball game. "Look at me, daddy! I'm a farmer!" Also, there are four old games you can now play on your Xbox One if you want: Alan Wake's American Nightmare, Lego Batman, Trials HD, and Sam & Max: Beyond Time & Space. That Xbox One can play DVDs too, so...you know. Xbox One Backward Compatibility [Major Nelson] |
| You can now play Rocket League in Halo 5 Posted: 11 Feb 2016 05:30 AM PST [Disclaimer/reminder: the Destructoid flag is available to download in Rocket League.] Rocket League is still the rage in some circles, but it isn't coming to Xbox One until next week. That hasn't stopped the community from crafting their own custom map in Halo 5 of course, which allows people to use Ghosts to play their own version of the game. By default it supports 16-player madness, and it seems like a nice little diversion while you wait for the real thing. I've never been all that crazy about the game but it's impressive that it's grown this much since launch. |
| The Wild Eight looks like Don't Starve with eight players Posted: 11 Feb 2016 05:00 AM PST A new survival game is on the way, and this time it will pit eight people against the Alaskan wilderness. It's called The Wild Eight, and will focus on survival first and foremost, purposefully playing down the horror element that's present in some of these titles. Multiplayer is confirmed, as are RPG elements including skill development, puzzles, and "mutated wolves." It'll arrive later this year on PC and Xbox One, and it's being developed by 8 Points. On paper, this sounds cool. Let's see if they can execute it. |
| Devolver Digital's Okhlos has Katamari vibes with a mob twist Posted: 11 Feb 2016 04:30 AM PST Recently Devolver Digital unveiled Okhlos, an upcoming title that's due for an April release, but I hadn't heard of it until today. After watching the outlandish trailer, though, I had to share it with the world. Devolver is publishing a lot of really wacky looking games, and Okhlos fits that bill. It looks like a Katamari-like game of sorts, where players accrue a large mob and basically go to town with it. You can customize said mob as you attempt to disrupt Greece's oppressive deity system. If the action is as fast-paced as say, Half-Minute Hero, I'm in. |
| Tower Of Samsara looks like it has shades of Out of This World's art Posted: 11 Feb 2016 04:00 AM PST I had never heard of Tower Of Samsara until today, but after a few readers pointed me in its direction, I came away impressed. There's just a bit of alpha footage up now on the developer's YouTube channel, but it looks mighty good! It appears as if the developer is planning on a lengthy campaign, as the planned Kickstarter isn't even going live until May. That's definitely one way to do it -- get people to notice the kick-ass art style and then capitalize on that to ensure your project meets its goal. |
| Ubisoft confirms there won't be a new Assassin's Creed game this year Posted: 11 Feb 2016 03:30 AM PST Kotaku was right. There won't be a new main entry in the Assassin's Creed series this year. Ubisoft is giving its flagship franchise a short breather, the publisher announced today. In a post on UbiBlog, Ubisoft confirms the news in time for its most recent investors' report. "There will not be a new Assassin's Creed game in 2016," it reads. "We're taking this year to evolve the game mechanics and to make sure we're delivering on the promise of Assassin's Creed offering unique and memorable gameplay experiences that make history everyone's playground." This break marks the first time the series has more than a year-long gap between main installments since the releases of the original Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed II in 2007 and 2009, respectively. But, just because there's no large-scale game this year doesn't mean there's no Assassin's Creed. Ubisoft has already released two Assassin's Creed Chronicles titles this year, there's a mobile game getting a widespread launch later in February, and there's a movie coming in late December. And, there's still the remaining rumor that Ubisoft will release some sort of Assassin's Creed collection in the near future. If there was ever a year in which Ubisoft doesn't need a triple-A game to keep the series' brand recognition up, it's 2016. Besides all that, what's next for Assassin's Creed? If Kotaku's report is to be believed, the next game will be set in Egypt. Kotaku has an awfully good track record when it comes to getting scoops about Ubisoft, so there's a decent chance that's true. But, Ubisoft will confirm things when it's ready, probably about a year from now if it's sticking to holiday releases. A Message from the Assassin's Creed Team [Ubisoft] |
| Nintendo Download: Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty Posted: 11 Feb 2016 03:00 AM PST After almost two years of waiting, Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty is now available on the Wii U platform. Also on Wii U is Big Brain Academy, Kuru Kuru Kurrin, Polarium Advance, Cutie Clash, Cutie Pets Go Fishing, and Outside the Realm. The 3DS is taking a backseat this week with a Petit Novel Series: Harvest December demo. I took the liberty of looking this one up by the way, and after inputting info in for an age gate on the Nintendo site, I found that it's a collection of 13 stories in visual novel form set in Japan. It actually has...a few okay reviews? |
| Frozen Synapse 2 announced, going open world Posted: 11 Feb 2016 02:30 AM PST Frozen Synapse took turn-based strategy and upended it with simultaneous action, and to this day there isn't much else like it (except maybe the American football-esque offshoot Frozen Cortex). There isn't much to the announcement of Frozen Synapse 2; all we have are the screenshot above, a music track by nervous_testpilot, and the vague description that it will be open world. That's the part I have a little trouble wrapping my head around. The original Frozen Synapse was broken into discrete parts, such that each level was its own shooty puzzle to be solved. In an open world, a lot more can go wrong with the formula. It will be interesting to see how developer Mode 7 Games will tackle it. More information should come out in the next few weeks. |
| Hideo Kojima has a YouTube show now Posted: 11 Feb 2016 02:00 AM PST Hideo Kojima, finally free from the clutches of his previous publisher, has started a YouTube show called HideoTube, which I fully expect it to be hidden inside all of his upcoming games. In the first episode he talks about his top 10 movies of 2015, which is basically all I could ever ask for in an inaugural episode. Kojima has always been upfront about where he's gotten his Metal Gear influences from, and hearing him talk about film is a real treat. I mean, this is a pretty amazing list overall. So many of these were damn good films (I still need to see The Intern, as even Tarantino gave it high praise recently), but I'm really surprised (and happy) that Kojima has Locke in at number four. A highly unconventional film, Locke is a drama that takes place entirely in a car, with Tom Hardy speaking to various people from his life on a speaker phone. That's the movie. Yet it managed to be one of my favorite Hardy flicks in recent memory. It's a tad older for most of us, but it's on his 2015 list as it was released in Japan last year. Other choices are just as good, like Kingsman (which was far better than the trailers made it seem), Whiplash (probably the biggest surprise of 2014 for me, also just released in Japan last year), and the token Mad Max: Fury Road. Check out the full list below and feel free to disagree, but it's a well-rounded list regardless of your tastes, and helps explain why Kojima is so good at what he does -- he leaves no stone unturned, and has an open mind towards a wide variety of media. |
| Need for Speed is coming to PC with manual transmission Posted: 11 Feb 2016 01:30 AM PST When Need for Speed heads to PC on March 15, 2016, it'll support manual transmission, and the oft-requested feature will also show up in a future update for the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Electronic Arts announced this morning. A sign of things to come for the series? Perhaps. Ghost Games is calling this port the definitive version given its uncapped frame rate, support for resolutions up to 4K, and compatibility with select wheels from Logitech, Thrustmaster, and Fanatec. It will launch with the Icons and Legends updates included, the latter of which re-balances the AI drivers to be less of a rubber-banding annoyance. Another content update, Showcase, is expected to surface on PC soon after the game's mid-March release. EA hasn't divulged pricing details at this time. |
| Transformers: Earth Wars is a new strategy game set in the G1 universe Posted: 11 Feb 2016 01:00 AM PST Space Ape Games is creating a new Transformers game for mobile devices called Earth Wars, and it's using the old G1 art style that otherwise would be overused if it weren't for the timeless nature of it, and the fact that the Bay-formers have dominated shelf space in the past nine years or so. As a few readers have pointed out to me yesterday, it's very close to the Clash of Clans style of games that have been dominating the market lately. Clash is fun for a lot of people, but I found it to be too predatory for my tastes, constantly luring you into spending money. Hopefully this will be different. It'll arrive in spring 2016 on both Android and iOS. |
| Quantum Break is coming to PC and Xbox One on April 5 Posted: 11 Feb 2016 12:30 AM PST Ever since it was announced, I’ve always been majorly jealous of Xbox One owners for having Quantum Break all to themselves. I adored Alan Wake, so having to miss out on Remedy’s next game has been a bit of a bummer. Well not anymore, because Remedy and Microsoft have announced that Quantum Break is getting a simultaneous release for Windows 10 and Xbox One on April 5. What’s especially interesting is that those who pre-order Quantum Break on Xbox One (either digitally or the physical special edition) will also get a free copy of the game on PC. It’s kind of like Sony’s cross-buy, but with Xbox One and Windows 10. Remedy has come out all guns blazing on this one, and has already confirmed the minimum and recommended specs you’ll be needing for Quantum Break:
My god those are high requirements. To play Quantum Break, you’ll be needing some of the best hardware out there right now just for the recommended specs. Whether this is simply overestimating to play it safe or more indicative of a poor porting job is anybody’s guess right now, but for what it’s worth, Alan Wake’s PC port was great. Speaking of Alan Wake, it was also announced that it and kinda-sorta sequel American Nightmare are both getting Xbox One re-releases. People who buy Quantum Break on Xbox One will be getting Alan Wake thrown in for free, while those who pre-order will get both Alan Wake and American Nightmare. So you’ll not only get two copies of Quantum Break, you’ll also get two of the finest games of the previous generation thrown in for free. That’s pretty damn generous no matter how you look at it. Microsoft seems confident that Quantum Break will be a hit, so I really hope the game manages to deliver when it launches on April 5. |
| Street Fighter V's Alex is coming in March, here's some concept art Posted: 11 Feb 2016 12:00 AM PST [Update: Here's the new roadmap for Street Fighter V's content drops. Alex in March, characters in April, May, July, August, and September, and the cinematic story in June. Said other fighters include Ibuki, Balrog, Juri, Urien, and Guile. Capcom is also making the following claim: "At launch, playing through most of the single player content (in fact, just the Character Stories) will give you enough Fight Money to get Alex for free!"] Now that Street Fighter V is mere days away, Capcom is spilling the beans on a lot of well-kept secrets. We now know that legacy fightsticks are supported, for instance, and the first DLC character has been confirmed as Alex, who will arrive sometime in March. To be clear, Capcom has a new system in place that allows people to earn "Fight Coins" as credit of sorts for playing, to buy DLC with -- very similar to IP in League of Legends. There's also a premium currency called "Zenny" (ha, classic Capcom) that you can use to purchase characters outright. In a sense, this is how the series has always been, but hardcore players will be able to earn people for free, in theory. I haven't been able to confirm the final rate of accrual yet for Fight Coins personally, as Capcom hasn't enabled that element of the game yet in the live version. Characters, including Alex, will be 100,000 Fight Coins. Expect more info when it goes live next week. CapcomChannel [YouTube via Shoryuken] |
| Farewell, newest Super Smash Bros., you were the best Posted: 10 Feb 2016 11:30 PM PST This is it for Super Smash Bros., it seems. All of the DLC has been released, the polls are over, and Sakurai has noted that there will be no more balance patches. It's time for the team to move onto Smash 5, or for Sakurai to finally rest (I'm putting more money on the former, especially with rumors of an NX version, which I think will be a "GOTY" of sorts to kick off the platform). As a proper goodbye of sorts, in this newest trailer from Nintendo UK, you can get a look at all of the DLC that's been included in the game, which is a lot...and I mean...a lot of good DLC, from characters to levels to costumes. Just thinking about all the content drops, it's crazy how high quality basically all of the add-ons were. Every character adds something to the game, and the addition of Bayonetta recently is like a dream come true for fans. From its debut back in 1999 with only first-party characters, I don't think anyone could have dreamed that the series would one day be this crazy. The newest Smash is easily the best in the series for me at this point, and I'm really glad that the team listened to Brawl's shortcomings to surpass our expectations. |
| Attack on Titan is getting four player co-op, tons of free DLC Posted: 10 Feb 2016 11:00 PM PST Koei Tecmo might be bad at doing quality PC ports, but it has a good grasp on console development, and generally does a great job of supporting its games over time. That's also the case for Attack on Titan, which is getting a massive four player co-op multiplayer update on March 24. Other paid add-ons are also going to be released over the next few months, as well as a number of enhancements, like costumes weapons, and more episodes. You can probably expect most of this to also see a release in the western version, which is due sometime this year. Attack on Titan [Zaregoto via Gematsu] |
| Capcom is very happy with how Dragon's Dogma is doing on PC Posted: 10 Feb 2016 10:00 PM PST It’s been a few weeks since Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen was launched for the PC, and it's apparently doing very, very well. In an interview with MCV, Capcom said that Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is its fastest-selling PC game, despite it originally being launched for PS3 and Xbox 360 way back in 2013, and not yet going on any significant discount on PC:
Just goes to show that people will happily support a game if it has a great port. Hopefully Capcom understands this, so we can get more like Dragon’s Dogma and less like Dead Rising 3 from now on. This is great news for fans of the game, as Capcom previously said that it would consider a sequel if the PC release did well. Now that it has, maybe Capcom will be willing to greenlight a Dragon's Dogma 2. Oh, and how about Dragon's Dogma Online while we're at it, Capcom?

| Firewatch dev 'super fu*king bummed' about PS4 frame rate issues Posted: 10 Feb 2016 09:00 PM PST Developer Campo Santo is working "actually, literally, around the clock" to fix the frame rate drops experienced by PS4 players of Firewatch. "Couple'a updates," Vanaman stated on reddit. "One is that we're in pipe with SCEA to get a patch into the game but it's like 99% strange content fixes we've found as lots of people play the game on PC. So that's coming but we're at the mercy of the console patch process. "Secondly, we're currently talking with both Sony and Unity (the creators of the engine the game is built in) to continue to optimize performance of the game on console. Unfortunately, it's a process that requires all three parties to be involved unlike a typical bug that we can quickly fix on our own (we're pretty good at that). We'll definitely be patching all platforms with every little content and performance fix we can find so folks can rest assured we're doing everything we can (and WILL for a long time. We want the game that's on Steam/PS4/anywhere to be the best possible version even after we're out of the excitement of the launch window)." When asked how the problem wasn’t picked up during testing, Vanaman replied: "I've played the game for hundreds and hundreds of hours on PS4, and maybe because it's on test-kits and some retail boxes are different I personally didn't experience these things. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but I want to unequivocally say it wasn't like we sat in a room, saw this stuff and went ‘eh, screw it, sell it anyway.’ We're super fucking bummed that this is happening for some people and we're working actually, literally, around-the-clock on it." In our Firewatch review, we said it was a “tight, taut human tale well worth the trek” and gave it an 8. Sounds like Significant PS4 Performance Issues [reddit] |
