* Epic Games announced they will be the main sponsor for this year's PC Gaming Show at E3 on June 10th.
https://www.destructoid.com/epic-is-...w-553628.phtml * Netflix announced they will be hosting a panel at E3 on June 12 called "Bringing Your Favorite Shows to Life: Developing Netflix Originals into Video Games." At the moment, only their Stranger Things series has been announced for the panel. https://www.destructoid.com/netflix-...3-553635.phtml * For those interested, SNK announced those who purchase the new Samurai Shodown game by June 30th will receive the game's Season Pass for free as a gift. The game itself launches on June 25th for PS4 and Xbox One. https://gematsu.com/2019/05/samurai-...cas-and-europe * Seems Ghost Recon Breakpoint isn't the only new Tom Clancy game in development at Ubisoft as the creative director of The Division 2 recently announced he is currently working on a new game in the Splinter Cell series. EDIT: Nevermind, it was just an elaborate joke by the creative director for some cheap laughs based on a statement made by Ubisoft afterwards. https://twitter.com/jgerighty/status...95675329335296 https://www.gamesradar.com/new-splin...-tweet-reveal/ |
I was gonna get Samurai Showdown anyway, so that’s awesome. Good on SNK for throwing their customers a bone.
|
Yeah now that's an incentive I can get behind. Reward early adopters with something decent for once.
|
FF7 is going to have an early November release date for part 1. Game will not be as episodic as thought and will instead be 2 parts only. I imagine the end of part 1 will either be when Aerith dies or when cloud loses his mind, having the second game start with the bit that takes place in his head. Will depend where they decide to expand upon the content the most.
|
The Division 2's upcoming raid, Dark Hours, will NOT have matchmaking support.
And, that was one of Ubisoft Massive's big promises for this game. All endgame content will have matchmaking capabilities. https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05...ve-matchmaking |
If it’s anything like destiny’s raids, then matchmaking would be worthless. Though if they were planning that kind of raid, they shouldn’t have promised matchmaking to begin with.
|
For those interested, Namco will be releasing a new DLC pack tomorrow for Soulcalibur VI that contains around 50 new customisation items but like 49 of them don't matter since none compare to the new "cat hat" which is just putting a cat on the top of your character's head and shoulders.

Namco corrected themself in that It's about 50 pieces, not over 150. The new update is pretty good, tested it right at launch.

Holy shit Mario Maker 2 looks good.

Apparently Epic Games somehow managed to botch something as simple as holding their first sale on the Epic Games Store.
Biggest issue was several publishers pulling their games from the sale due to not being informed ahead of time and likely didn't have any input on the discounts being handed out. At least one noted issue of an artificial price hike being done in order to manipulate the special discount for games priced at $14.99 and over. On top of that was several noted cases of game purchases being denied and accounts locked due to anti-fraud security being falsely triggered. Its all due to the lack of a shopping cart feature for the store. https://www.destructoid.com/epic-gam...t-554005.phtml |
Having a store that functions properly and has basic features like a search bar or shopping cart isn’t nearly as important as buying exclusivity rights. Come on now.

* Sony announces they have opened a new division called Playstation Productions which will handle the development of tv series and films based on their video game properties.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...ilm-tv-1211850 * Update to recent Riot Games' mass employees protest news as the company stated they are not dropping their push to get a Forced Arbitration decision for all of their on-going lawsuits nor are they working to fix their alleged toxic workplace environment. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ployee-protest https://www.destructoid.com/riot-gam...s-554279.phtml * Based on their recent fiscal report, Capcom announced they have been very pleased with the RE Engine and it will remain as the focal point for the development of their upcoming games and next gen games. https://www.destructoid.com/capcom-r...5-554285.phtml |

According to a report from Kotaku, Activision recently pulled Sledgehammer Games Call of Duty project from development and Treyarch will now be handling next year's CoD game.
Unofficial reason is due to lingering issues with the game's development and constant bickering between Sledgehammer Games and co-developer Raven Software over its direction. Treyarch reportedly also got really upset over the new since now they have to deal with the fallout of Sledgehammer's game being dropped and likely rush development on their own CoD game due to now having one less year to work on it. https://kotaku.com/sources-call-of-d...ake-1834858368 |

Upcoming No Man's Sky has convinced me into saving for VR. I was worried about motion sickness. Don't want to spend that kind of money for something I can only use in 10 minute intervals. But after reading a few forums, it seems like something you only have to deal with from the start. Eventually you get used to it, and can play in full motion without a problem.
|
VR's not bad. You just gotta have the room to move around.
|
Death Stranding looks pretty darn good. Releases November 8th
|
One of my favorite experiences as a gamer is Kojima trailers. Sometimes I don't even want the game to ever come out. Just annual trailers.

* Sony is currently dealing with a lawsuit from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission in regards to allegations of the company breaking Australian consumer laws related to game refunds. The ACCC claims that Sony's current terms are too restrictive, not allowed to have separate rules for digital and physical refunds, and not allowed to only offer in-store credit for digital refunds.
https://www.accc.gov.au/media-releas...ystation-games https://www.destructoid.com/the-aust...w-555208.phtml * Ubisoft is currently rumored to be working on plans for a new subscription-based service called ""Ubisoft Pass Premium" for UPlay. https://www.vg247.com/2019/05/27/ubi...ubisoft-store/ * According to Kotaku, The Last of Us II is currently rumored to have been delayed till early 2020 and unofficial reason due to Sony wanting Death Stranding to have the spotlight for the big PS4 late 2019 release. https://www.destructoid.com/the-last...0-555254.phtml |
Fuck off with all these publishers having their own subscription services.

So Mario Maker 2 introduces multiplayer to the game.
But you can only play online with randoms. Because they don't want playing with friends to affect leaderboards. My fucking brain hurts. |
* During a recent interview with PlayStation Lifestyle, one of the directors for Call of Duty Modern Warfare stated the game will not feature a Zombies mode and official reason is due to them focusing more on realism for its gameplay and story.
https://www.playstationlifestyle.net...mbies-mode-no/ * Micrsoft's Xbox division boss Phil Spencer teased that they will be revealing 14 first party games at their E3 press conference later this month. https://www.destructoid.com/microsof...s-555498.phtml * A new game in the Darksiders series is currently rumored to be getting revealed at this month's E3 event. https://www.destructoid.com/-fresh-n...9-555525.phtml |
Pretty fast turnaround for Darksiders considering how long it was between 2 and 3.
|
Strife and his guns should be a blast to play with.
Hope they bring back a more open world concept this time. Fury without a horse in 3 was just weird. |
Spelunky 2 might come to the switch :) (@end)

That new concept sounds just plain weird for the new Watch Dogs.
If you were doing recruiting like in Assassins' Creed: Brotherhood and creating your own hacker crew or something, you might have my attention. |
According to a report from Forbes, cross-play for this year's Call of Duty game between has a bit of a catch in regards to PC players.
Its not a pure PC vs. Xbox/PS4 but works more similar to Fortnite. If a PC player uses a controller, they automatically get paired with console players. If they use a keyboard & mouse, they only get paired with other k&m PC players. Its possible for console players to play against k&m PC players but requires them to opt into those matches since matchmaking won't do it by default. Those restrictions on k&m PC players don't apply for party groups. Also its unknown if PS4 players will be restricted to matches only against PS4 players whenever a DLC pack gets released regardless if they bought it or not due to Sony's 1-week exclusivity for them. https://www.destructoid.com/call-of-...e-555907.phtml |
Darksiders Genesis is announced.
Yes, as you're playing as Strife. The twist here is that this is gonna be a Diablo style top-down format this time. |
That's not a twist, that's a spin-off.
