Though I’ll probably just stick with PC With Chucklefish’sStarboundlooking to scratch thatTerrariaitch and then some, andTerrariaitself getting further fleshed out withanother big update, it caught me completely off guard to hear that Re-Logic isworking on a sequel. Ecstatic to hear it, but unexpected. While the original game started off on PC and that platform is primarily what I associate the sandbox world with, it did eventually come to other systems. Speaking toPocket Gamer, designer Andrew Spinks said “I am wanting to codeTerraria 2in a more portable language so it can be released on multiple platforms at launch or close to launch....

We’ll see it eventually Oh heyFinal Fantasy VII Remake, didn’t see you there. Literally, because Square Enix is keeping everything pertaining to it behind closed doors for months on end. It’s interesting in this era of “share everything Early Access” that we’re still seeing some developers be so secretive, and I mean that. Earnest “we know literally nothing about this game” events rarely happen these days outside of Kojima projects, and I kind of like that one day we’ll just get a huge info dump on theFinal Fantasy VII Remake....

A mobile game Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben. It’s good to have you all back in the fold. I mean the 2000s-era Tim Story films didn’t do you any favors with the public, and the 2015 project, “FANT4STIC,” might be the worst superhero movie ever made. And yes, I rememberElektraandCatwoman. Marvel is starting to plan their cinematic comeback as we speak, and as it stands, we’re getting everything from little homagesinSpider-ManPS4to full-on expansion packs inMarvel Ultimate Alliance 3....

It was both an exciting and somber week of science fiction for me. As my dearGame of Throneswas wrapping up its season I turn my eyes from fantasy fiction, over to my all time love, science fiction. I had a chance to check out the visually gorgeousPrometheuslast night, and really started to feel spoiled by all the great science fiction around me. This was all heightened by the fact that we lost a huge pioneer in the genre this week, in the amazing Ray Bradbury....

The series could use some breathing room During Electronic Arts’ fourth quarter fiscal 2014 earnings call, CEO Andrew Wilson said that the publisher won’t release a new installment ofNeed for Speedin 2014. At the very least,Need for Speed: Rivalsdeveloper Ghost Games’ new title will arrive next year. Speaking toIGN, series executive producer Marcus Nilsson said “We’ve decided to take the time to build the game we really want to build in the next fiscal year....

And taking Pokemon Stadium 2 bets After completing multiplePokemontitles, Twitch Plays Pokemonis still…well… playing. Currently they’re working their way throughPlatinum, with a new twist involved. Players can bet onPokemon Stadium 2matches. While each game isn’t nearly as popular as the one before it, it’s crazy that there’s still an audience, and people willing to play. The first time around was a mild phenomenon for a short while, and I’m kind of glad that it’s died down a bit....

Ah, the Caribbean It’s cold as hell in my office. I’m under a blanket, and I have my feet tucked under my dog. I’m chilled straight through and my nose is running. But things look quite the opposite in these newTropico 4 Gold Editionscreenshots. The upcoming city maker for Xbox 360 and PC shows an island paradise with tropical trees, sun-drenched mountains, and dancing girls. I feel warmer just thinking about it....

I think this might be the easiest “What are you Playing” stories I have ever written for Destructoid, and that’s saying something because I’ve only been doing them for the past three weeks now. Hey Destructoid, how are we doing? Welcome to that segment every week where I talk on for a few minutes about games and then ask you the same old question that’s blatantly in the title. Today, we are going to talk about plans for the last weekend of May, but I already have a feeling what a lot of you have planned to play this weekend....

Are you out, or still in? Wave 4 is over, collectors! Robin and Lucina have been fully confirmed as unicorn figures, making them near impossible to find. Peppered in there are some rarer exclusives like Jigglypuff (Target) and Ness (GameStop), and the rumor is that Target will have another US exclusive next wave. While we’ve all shared our opinions on amiibo in the past, I want everyone to lay it all out on the table....

It’s a hike (and a swim)! It’s safe to say that you should save a lot of your TM hunting until the endgame in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet. You don’t really need individual moves to take down the vast majority of the game: just sheer force of will through leveling, and a variety of Pokemon types. Once you’re ready, you’re able to seek out Brick Break: which is on a secluded island far off in the northeast corner of Paldea....

Hey guys! Rare has set up anew siteforBanjo-Kazooie 3, isn’t that exciting? Well, at face value, it’s not very interesting at all, since it’s little more than a placeholder — at face value. Of course, this is the Internet, so even a mere placeholder is going to be dug into, burrowed through, and ultimately torn to pieces by eager/bored fans with a lot of curiosity/time on their hands. Looking at the source code, there is information which listsBanjo-Kazooie 3for Windows as well as Xbox 360....

Xbox says Tango’s surprise drop hit its goals Hi-Fi Rushwas a bit of a surprise drop earlier this year, and certainly made a splash. But as a report circulated that it did not hit its revenue target, Xbox is saying thatHi-Fi Rushwas a break out hit. The back-and-forth started when journalist Jeff Grubb, on theGame Mess Decides podcast, said thatHi-Fi Rushfell short of what it “needed” to do. “Based on what I’ve heard, it just straight up didn’t make the money it needed to make,” Grubb said....

Watch out for boats Back when XSEED Games announcedTrails of Cold Steel IandIIforPC, I was hoping for them to could give Falcom’s other Sony console-exclusive titles the same treatment. At the end of theirZwei: The Ilvard Insurrectionstream, my wish came true as they revealed their plans to releaseYs Sevenon PC. Unlike your usual announcement, they used a pink Keromin, a musical frog puppet, to sing one of the game’s tracks before the big news....
