Rememberthat mysterious trailerwe saw a few weeks back that claimed to be a new project from Team ICO, called Trico? Well, it’s not called Trico, but yeah … it’s very real. The game is actually calledThe Last Guardian, and the only way I can appropriately describe what we are seeing here is to say it utterly took my breath away. If the game even begins to live up to its looks, we have a real doozy on our hands here....
This fall, Konami is going to deliver what you’ve all been asking for — a karaoke game featuring your favorite songs as sung by the cast of the hit showGlee. It’s calledKaraoke Revolution: Glee, and it’s based on the core of Konami’s long-running sing-a-long franchise. It’s exactly what you’d expect: players work their way through singing a number of the songs fans of the show are likely already familiar with. They’re all covers, as heard in the series — in the early demo I was shown, we saw footage ofGlee‘s resident preggers teen, cheerleader Quinn Fabray, singing Diana Ross’ “You Keep Me Hanging On....
At least for the time being — which, admittedly hasn’t been very long — the emphasis on the PlayStation Vita’s software library seems to heavily favor games that were successful, beefy favorites on PlayStation 3. Y’know — console-centric games. Nothing inherently wrong with that, if you ask me. (Not my preference either, though.) Out of all of the franchises being brought to Vita,LittleBigPlanetlooks the most appealing to me. Perhaps its the amount of content the game is sure to have, perhaps it’s the upbeat music in this trailer....
According to a recent article fromJoystiq Nintendo, if you’ve always found you look mysteriously like aPunch-Out!character you may be in luck if you live in the New York area. A Craigslist ad has been posted in New York forPunch-Out!lookalikes. It may be too much to hope for, but I know Chad Concelmo and myself would be thrilled to seePunch-Out! The Musical. Here’s what the ad says: EDP Casting is currently looking for Real People to portray characters from the classic video game “PUNCH-OUT!...
The financial bollocks is cutting deep as publishing giant EA finds itself reeling from a net loss of $310 million in Q3 compared to last year’s $195 million. In response to the widening losses, Electronic Arts has announced asix percent staff layoff. Ouch. With a staff of over 9,000 within EA, it is estimated that around 540 employees are lined up for the chopping block. Although revenues are up by 39....
Dr. Michael Capps will give a keynote at GDC Europe next month (August 15-17), titled “Size Doesn’t Matter: How Epic Brings AAA Attitude to Every Game, from Gears of War 3 to Infinity Blade.” The talk will cover some things like the similarities in Epic Games’ production methodology and pipelines from shared staff and infrastructure — People Can Fly doesn’t reside in North Carolina after all — and more importantly how the drive for AAA quality games comes from the individuals that share a desire to make them, and how company culture can support and reinforce that....
Goldeneye64 is easily in my top five best Nintendo 64 games ever made. I devoted many hours of my life to this fantastic game. Granted, the game is crap compared to today’s standards, but it’s still a gem in my eyes. It’s been years since I last played this game, but thanks to this fan video, I’m now on the hunt for the Nintendo 64 again. This recreation of the Facility level (best level in the game!...
Final Fantasy XIII-2is going to feature a darker story than the last game, as if you cangetdarker than a group of terminally ill people with absolutely no hope for their future. Producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama have also said they listened toXIII‘s critics and will address some issues. InXIII-2, Lightning and her cadre of impossibly-haired friends will be searching for a gate to an invisible world known as Bunibelle and they’ll be meeting Etro the Goddess along the way....
If you’ve been having a so-so day, this should cheer you up: EA Sports isn’t shoehorning motion control intoFight Night Champion, the next entry in its boxing franchise. Thank goodness! In an interview withEurogamer, gameplay producer Brian Hayes explained that EA knows its audience, and its audience playsFight Nightbecause they can’t actually box in real life: It’s a little bit too twitch-based, not to mention the fact that standing on your feet for three minutes and throwing punches is something that, believe it or not, might be beyond the fitness level of most gamers!...
Fight Night Round 4smacks retailers in the mouth June 30, this year. And it’s packing more than just upgraded visuals. Electronic Arts released a new trailer for the game today, briefly addressing a laundry list of additions. The upcoming iteration of the super realistic boxing series will feature a new physics engine, actual inside gut clubbing, block-shearing punches, and dynamic tearing. Yeah, that’s right —Fight Night Round 4will have dynamic tears....
In the planning stages of creating an indie project, but need to get some cash together without resorting to self-prostitution (whether literal or figurative)?Kickstartermay be for you. It works like this: a person or group dictates the amount of money they need for their new album/viral video/indie game. Users then pledge however much money they want to that particular project. If the project surpasses its initial fundraising estimate, then the payments go through and they get their pledged funding; if they fall short of their original goal, your pledge immediately comes back to you, and you haven’t spent a dime....
Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rageis now available in demo form on Xbox Live right now. If you want to make some heads explode and scream ATATATATATA all morning, then that’ll fix you right up. As a fan of Omega Force’s beat ’em up formula, I’m looking forward toFist of the North Stareven if nobody else is. From what I already played of the game, it’s bloody hilarious, and almost as absurd as the Manga/anime it’s based on....
I’d first like to apologize to everyone for my absence from Destructoid most of the day.UnfortunatelyForza 2has pretty much owned my soul since I picked it up on Thursday. Never mind thescoressites are giving the game. I’m here to focus on some of the great user created car paint schemes, as seen on theForzamotorsport forums. Take one look a theOkamicar and then tell me that you wouldn’t want to drive around in that classy ride?...
