Any of you remembermy interview with Senile Team? No? Well, you should. Go read it again, 8 times if need be, so that it is well ingrained into your brain. Now, within the interview, Roel mentioned that there would be a surprise from Senile Team around New Year’s. Well, on December 31st, the gang releasedRush Rush Ralley Racing, a top-down view racing game that’s just like the games from the old days....
Treyarch looks set to take theCall of Dutyreins again in 2010, having recentlyfor the next installment of the ludicrously popular FPS series. The team is looking for a level designer, and has indicated that, once again, its take on theCoDfranchise will be a case of not-so-modern warfare. The level designer acqired by Treyarch will need to “research subject matter for history and look of the level.” This seems to betray Treyarch’s intent to take us back to past as it did withWorld at War....
Along with a mess of high-profile titles coming out for most of the consoles later this year, Sierra had on hand a few Xbox LIVE Arcade titles tucked away in the corner. One of the games wasZombie Wranglers, a cute little Zombie action title. One of the first things I’m reminded of asZombie Wranglersis being demoed to me isKids Next Door.It’s a cartoon show on Cartoon Network where a group of kids save the day....
We’re excited aboutShin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, Atlus’ newest DS RPG in the SMT world. Just knowing it is coming is good enough for me. But now that we’ve heard some details about the demon-exchanging password system, we’re super pumped. InStrange Journey, you’ll be able to customize and fuse demons, and then create custom passwords that can be used to give demons to friends. In other words, everything you do to make your own demon can be summed up in a password that can be given to others....
Apparently this was the massive, franchise-shattering news that Sega had promised was coming to all Sonic fans. Sonic the Hedgehog is getting a new voice actor. Not exactly the mostthrillingof megatons, is it? Still, it’s somewhat interesting due to the fact that Sonic’s new voice has some videogame pedigree to his name. Roger Craig Smith will step into the hedgehog’s vocal chords, and if you’re wondering who that is, you may know him better as either Chris Redfield fromResident Evil 5or Ezio fromAssassin’s Creed 2....
Like a petulant child making up excuses to get out of taking a bath, it seems Sony will sayanythingto dodge the issue of a price cut. A particular favorite tactic of Sony’s is to speak for the consumer, and that’s exactly what SCEE president Andrew Househas done, claiming that Europeans don’t care about price. “Not to harp on about it, but the PlayStation 3 has a ten-year life cycle and there are issues of cost and profitability,” harps House....
Yesterday you had theopportunityto read my interview with Eric Lempel, Director of PlayStation Network Operations and Strategic Planning. Yes, I know that he isn’t exactly the biggest name in the company, but he’s pretty damn important. He helps decide how our content gets to us, so respect the man. However, he wasn’t the only Sony exec I had the opportunity to speak to. I also spoke with John Koller, Director of Hardware Marketing....
South Korean President Lee Myung-bak has recently joined the ranks of Sony and Microsoft, regarding Nintendo with envious eyes and drawing his plans against the Wii. Jealous of Nintendo’s success in his home country, LeelamentedSouth Korea’s lack of console development. “A lot of our elementary school children have Nintendo game machines,” he whines. “Why can’t our companies develop products like that?” However, the President’s comments are met with little more than disdain from his country’s companies, as the Korean games industry found fault with the President’s words....
If you were looking forward to playingStar Trek Onlinewith a home console, I have some bad news. Confirmation came down today that the game has been canceled. Speaking to videogamer.com, Cryptic Games Executive Producer Craig Zinkievich said, “It’s pretty much in the same boat as the Champions console version right now,” alluding to the similar cancellation of the developer’s other console effort. This sucks and it doesn’t. On the one hand, I don’t really want to get myself sucked into an MMO and not having access to it on my preferred way to play games would help prevent that....
Theabove imageis what GameStop is offering the winner of itsSuper Smash Bros. Brawltournament. As you can see, it is the worst thing in the world. It doesn’t even have anything to do withBrawl, save for the vague and tenuous hint that the golden man in his underwear might possibly be about to engage in combat of some sort. That, or he’s about to crap his unnecessarily tight shorts because he’s realized he’s a really, really bad trophy....
Ok, so we’ve been here for a bit. But we’re running around like crazy, trying to make sense of this strange land and bring you coverage. I just scarfed down a heaping plate of curry with croquettes and elbowed my way through a bustling press room to find my to my assigned spot… on the floor. That’s right:Destructoid’s TGS 2008 coverage comes to you from the filthy floors of the Makuhari Messe convention center....
The latest in the “The Year 2027” series ofDeus Ex: Human Revolutionvideos shows off a three of the cities that are featured in the highly anticipated prequel. If you didn’t know which cities you’ll see in the game and don’t want to know, stop halfway into the video. Everything up to that is talk about how they created the world and brought it to life. If you look at the first 10 seconds, you may also see a plane with four engines flying at either low altitude or at high altitude in a really tall city....
I just had to reuse this image Chad used for hisCaptain Rainbowpost. The game sounds awesome, but the trailer just isn’t doing it for me. I need to see more before I can decide.
