This Dreadnought video shows you how to actually play Dreadnought

There’s very much a right and wrong way As I learned at PAX Prime, actuallyknowing how to playDreadnoughtis half the battle. It’s an enamoring idea to rush in with the quickest ship and fire until either you or your target is dead. If that’s your approach, it’s going to be you that’s on the defeated side more often than not. This video that Yager put out shows whatDreadnoughtlooks like when it’s played correctly....

Video, screens offer better look at PS4’s Valkyria: Azure Revolution

First trailer and way more screenshots So I jumped the gun yesterday when I saidValkyria: Azure RevolutionandValkyria Chronicles Remaster(PS4) news was petering off. Yesterday’s plain, boringwebsiteis now home to a bunch of new screens, the first footage of the game, and some mondo chest bags. The three apparent main characters have names, too: Amleth, Ophelia, and Brunhild. Does that mean smaller parties instead of a whole squad? Earlier reports did hint at more of an RPG lean this time around, though I much prefer the first game’s threaded battles....

Xbox Live ‘retires’ Twitter/Facebook apps as of today

Pointless garbage flushed down the drain Microsoft is currently rolling out its fall 2012 dashboard update — and killing Twitter and Facebook in the process. The two Xbox Live social apps have been “retired” by the company, presumably because nobody was using them. The platform holder toldIGNthe cull is part of an effort to “streamline” Xbox Live’s app functionality.Internet Explorer 9is part of this update though, so you could always log into that if you simplymustTweet in the worst possible fashion....

Yakuza 0’s PC port is a great way to learn Mahjong (and play Yakuza 0)

That’s rad I’ve always been aware of theYakuzaseries but never had a chance, or even a desire, to play the games. Much of that was ignorance — I didn’t reallyknowwhat these games were like. Maybe I had assumed they were Japan’s version ofGrand Theft Auto, which I already have no interest in. Whatever the reason, it was stupid. IfYakuza 0is a good indicator of the series, then holy hell I am so happy that these games are being ported to PC now....

Yes! New SteamWorld games are on the way, sequels ‘not ruled out’

I’ll take…a sequel to every SteamWorld please TheSteamWorldseries has been near and dear to my heart since 2013 (sorrySteamWorld Tower Defense), ever since I first playedSteamWorld Digon my 3DS. Developer Image & Form really had a hit on their hands, which they’ve expanded upon to great success withSteamWorld Heist,Dig 2, andQuest. Moving into strategy and RPG realms was a big move for the company, but they pulled it off and managed to craft a fun and unique shared universe along the way....

You can fly a tank in Battlefield 4’s beta…kind of

It’s more like falling with style. Battlefield 4is in beta. This means a lot of things aren’t working right. And some are working too right. Take thiscollapsed building, for example. It’s one heck of a wreck, but its elevator keeps on chugging, freighting passengers up to the top floor and letting them off. Some enterprising beta testers have already used this to their advantage. See below. Some beta testers more in line with my train of thought — or should I say tank of thought?...

(Update) The Final Fantasy VII Remake will allegedly be released by 2023

But it could come sooner [Update:According to the Lifestream user who posted the transcript, the lengthy timeline jab was made in jest. We’re still waiting on Square Enix’s comment.] While it’s far from confirmed, I think we all could have expected that theFinal Fantasy VII Remakeis nowhere near done. After hearing that the project has switched hands at least once and the team is basically re-imagining the entire premise, now, according to a behind closed doors conversation between producer Yoshinori Kitase and development lead Naoki Hamaguchi at the Final Fantasy 30th Anniversary celebration event, we have a guesstimated release window....

A new gaming dictionary?

[Editor’s note: themizarkshow evaluates the New Gamer Dictionary. — CTZ] A few weeks ago, the HAWP video, “New Gamer Dictionary,” posed as a solution to the issue of gaming not being taken seriously. Immediately, my brain started assessing the situation with all that philosophical/theological vigor I haven’t gotten many chances to use since I got my BA, was forced out of the dorms, and decided to be a lazy college grad with a job before addressing the options of grad school....

A tale of loss and mourning

[Editor’s note: Poor Shipero! — CTZ] I pre-orderedinFAMOUSmonths ago and I’ve been anxiously anticipating it’s arrival since then. I played the demo multiple times, watched all the pre-release videos, and even bought a new 46 inch LED TV in preparation for it’s arrival.
