Playable Dredge are the first stretch goal I don’t know that any of us were expecting Stoic tonotbring in $200,000 to help fund development onThe Banner Saga 3, but here’s confirmation, about a week later: the studio has in fact done it. With that funding threshold out of the way, it’s onto stretch goals for the turn-based strategy title. First up, at $250,000 raised, is playable Dredge heroes — the Stoneguard, Hurler, and Stonesinger....
He rides on a giant bar of soap This is not a drill! At long last, the fan-made Janitor Leoric concept forHeroes of the Stormis happening. During a showcase for the all-new characterOrpheaat BlizzCon, Blizzard revealed several silly skins and one of them caused us to do a double take. Leoric finally has a mop in hand, folks. All is well. Our first Nexus-Born Hero, Gameplay Updates, Mounts, Skins, and much more....
Despite its legacy, Xbox 360 puzzle-platformerBraidhasn’t been around much. However, that’s all about to change as the game’s creator Jonathan Blow has recently announced an Anniversary Edition coming in 2024. Releasing April 30, this new version ofBraidcomes with improved visuals and animations, areas that have been “re-envisioned to make them more unique,” and more than 15 hours of commentary.

They’re still making them As my baseball coach used to say, sometimes you just need to get dirty. After slogging through a bunch of street racing games likeNeed For Speed, Forza, Ridge Racer, Test Driveit helped to take a break and play something likeMotorstorm. There’s not enough off-road games like that, but at least theMX vs. ATVseries is still going, having announced its newest entryMX vs. ATV All Out. Headed to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in “early 2018,”All Outwill feature “massive open worlds” and a free style mode where you “winwith style and crazy stunts....

Take a look Attack on Titanis officially Koei Tecmo’s first PS4-centric development project, but the game is also coming to PS3 and Vita by way of a downscaled port. While we’ve seen the PS4 build quite a bit since the studio went public with it, footage of the other ones haven’t really been shown prominently. The publisher is killing two birds with one stone here in the below video. I have to say if you can help it, getting KT titles on the newest platform possible is the way to go — it’s not just the enhanced visuals that you want, but the stable framerate when tons of action is happening on-screen....
Along with a ‘meta upgrade’ and a mini biome It’s update day forDead Cells. Along with an optional “mini biome,” theCorrupted Updateadds an exciting “meta upgrade”– Recycling Tubes–for players who have cleared the game onBC1. Come again? Yes, you had it right the first time. “Recycling Tubes.” “[It’s a] terrible name, and that might change,” according to Evil Empire’s Steve Filby. In essence, the Recycling Tubes replace the starting gear found at the Collector in hopes of cutting down on tedium and RNG struggles during the beginning ofDead Cellsruns....
Come write for us, as we expand Things have been pretty crazy in the gaming sphere as of late (take your pick!): but there’s great news to report on theDestructoidfront. Our owners — the GAMURS Group — are looking to expand the site and provide us with the tools we need to grow. As a result, we have a bigger freelance budget! If you’re not familiar with Destructoid, we cover a lot of the irreverent and offbeat video game news that a lot of other sites pass over: but we also hit the big stuff with that same irreverence and offbeat tone....
Is it too late? We’ve spent plenty of time praisingDoom‘s single-player campaign. Ourreviewbreathlessly covers it, and we even dedicated most of apodcastto discussing it. The reason we keyed in on that aspect of the game so heavily is because the multiplayer comes nowhere close to equaling the campaign.Doom‘s multiplayer feels a lot like a watered-down and less impressive version of all the safest and most popular first-person shooters on the market....
Original upgrade model ‘was not appropriate’ Evolution Studiosdetailedthe PS Plus version ofDrivecluband the offer sounded good. Mostly. With a membership, you may play every game mode, 11 tracks, 10 cars, and one location at no extra cost. Then, if you like the game, you can upgrade to the fullDriveclubexperience for $49.99. Cool. Not cool was that should your PS Plus subscription ever lapse, you’d be locked out of that paid content....
When I first sat down with Atlus USA, I half-expected to be presented with the a preview of the next installment ofShin Megami Tensei, be itPersonaorDevil Summoner. Instead, Atlus decided to throw us a curve-ball by announcing several new titles that didn’t quite fit their usual modus operandi. One of these new titles,Rock of Ages, by Chilean developer Ace Team — the guys who brought us the unconventional first-person brawler,Zeno Clash— takes tower defense and adds a bit of a twist, instead focusing on PvP combat....
Battlefields 5 through 10 E3’s rearing it’s head, ain’t it? Well, it should be better than the last couple of years. I’m hoping for straight videogames with one allowance for a (memorably) bad press conference. Even EA seems to have a lot to show according to thistweetfrom Geoff Keighley. “EA World Premiere at E3 coming live to Spike TV on June 9, 1 hour press conference with six new game reveals as part of our E3 All Access....
