Also: The Wii U is awesome now. We were live earlier today for The Destructoid Show, and if you missed it… Shame on you. But here’s a recording anyway. Sonypatented a new controller that’s kinda cool, but also stupid-looking. THQ’s in the latestHumble Bundle, and it’s making akilling. Guillermo Del Toro’sInSANEis still gonna happen, and unfortunately so is theGod of Warmovie. Jim says the Wii U is great forBlack Ops IIand Nintendo Power isgoing away forever....

It’s ‘a pleasant surprise’ Yannis Mallat is pretty keen on the PlayStation 4,reportsCVG. Ubisoft Montreal’s CEO has been both impressed and surprised by the ease with which the studio can develop new titles on the upcoming platform, especially compared to the PlayStation 2 and 3. Mallat recalled a time when a programmer needed to learn Japanese just so he could read the support documentation for coding on the PS2. “That day I understood how complex it was to develop on PlayStation 2....

I refuse to use the word ‘spoopy’ Halloween, one of the best days of the year, is almost upon us!

Uh, oops Credit where credit is due when it comes toZelda: Breath of the Wild‘s autonomy. We don’t really talk about it enough (well, we talk aboutBreath of the Wildenough in a general sense!), but so many of these comical and skillful videos are able to happen because Nintendo made the world itself so free, which leads to all sorts of amazing clips like this one. Here,Reddit user z1142manages to make the best out of a seemingly bad situation, picking off an enemy base of Bokoblins (which are found strewn about the map)....

Vi dir? Lords of the Fallenreviews are flittering about the ‘net. Except ours. Well, mine. There are a combination of reasons for this. Initial PC review code we were provided had some issues with booting players out of the game after the second boss fight a few hours into the game (depending on your thoroughness). That’s where the earlier preview build ended, so there was some technical confusion there with Steam, the game, et al....

Whether you need one to give to a villager or critter, complete a quest, or simply want to cook some meals that call for it as an ingredient, it’s always a good idea to stock up on Salmon in Disney Dreamlight Valley. It’s a fairly common and very useful fish. Salmon can be found while fishing in locations both in the Valley and on Eternity Isle.

Alright, I know many of you out there just were not satisfied at all with theDC vs Mortal Kombat trailerthat went up over the weekend. You know what? I wasn’t either. So I went ahead and did some Matlocking and I have uncovered a goldmine! As you can tell, all the videos here were recorded off screen so you’ll have to forgive the low quality. Obviously, the person who leaked these videos didn’t want to get caught stealing footage directly....

Speed You could say that I embed myself in a wide array of action games,including theBatman: Arkhamseries. I tend to notice little nuances of combat as they evolve over time, and it’s crazy to see just how much of an impact that the firstArkhamandAssassin’s Creedhad on the rest of the genre. That simple“attack incoming, counter”symbol above enemy heads is pretty much a staple now — even MMOs are utilizing telegraphed attacks more in recent years....

Including some fan favourites With the recent announcement of Dhalsim, we now know the entire roster of returning characters coming toStreet Fighter Vat launch. Overall it’s a pretty decent roster and the new characters look fantastic, with one original character still yet to be revealed for the game’s launch. Still, there will always be disappointment for some when their favouriteStreet Fighter IVcharacter is nowhere to be seen. Don’t worry though, as user AceKombat ofShoryukenhas datamined theStreet Fighter Vbeta and found audio files that suggest either six or seven characters not previously confirmed for the game might be in active development....

Time once more for the Badass of the Month Club,wherein the staff highlights a character or industry figure of noteworthy badassery. Sexy and deadly are always a good combination. We’ve seen it for years with characters like Morrigan and Chun-li (before the thunder thighs got out of control), but no one captured it quite like I-No, who induced many a people into chucking their controllers in frustration when she made her way onto the screen inGuilty Gear XX....

They areinstituting a mandatory registration systembased on ID cards and a person’s age, for gamers, that will force them into a five-hour-per-day maximum play time. Activities favored over gaming by the current regime include backbreaking labor, reading the collected works of Karl Marx, and growing luxurious moustaches of the sort that no woman could resist....

Night City Wire Many game companies are hosting online events around the time E3 would’ve taken place — EA and Xbox to name a couple — but those are mostly all showcases from big publishers with lots to announce. It’s rare that a single game gets its own share of the spotlight. But,Cyberpunk 2077is not an ordinary game. This time, CD Projekt isn’t relying on someone else’s press conference to get its message across....
