Here’s an extended trailer forMetal Gear Rising: Revengeance. The main points of interest are a slightly lengthened Metal Gear RAY fight and a bit at the end involving a cardboard box. The extensions are of the “blink and you’ll miss them” variety, but crazed fans can pour over every little detail. I’m still remaining cautiously optimistic about the game. Platinum is a little more hit-and-miss to me than it is to some people, but when the studio’s good, it’s damn good....

Retro tunage joins streaming service Fans of Nintendo’s mythic seriesMother, (orEarthBoundfor most of y’all), will be able to spend the coming weekend kicking back to some of the 1989 adventure’s charming score, as theMother Music Revisitedalbum is now available to stream onSpotify. Releasedon vinyl in Japanearlier this week,Mother Music Revisitedfeatures 10 tracks from the cult RPG series, lovingly rearranged by original composer Keiichi Suzuki, who is known for his majestic work on both the big and small screen....

How? How did someone think this was okay? We have a new reigning king of derp-face video game paraphernalia as theBattlebornpre-order figurines have usurped thedisfigured faces seen on early amiibo. Some game stores had pre-order-exclusive figures of various characters fromBattlebornthat look decent, so long as you don’t look at their faces. I’ve known many artists and each one has an area of the body they aren’t the best at drawing; this artist clearly sucks at faces (not that I’d do any better)....

Man, Doomsday needs to see a dentist. Sony Online Entertainment recently released a new video (available after the break) for their MMO,DC Universe Online. In it, the developers and designers talk about the game’s mission system, focusing on a “case” that deals with the capture of Doomsday — one of Superman’s many arch-nemeses. It also generally addresses how players can choose to either aid the blue-tighted loser seal away Doomsday, or join with Lex Luthor to use the big baddie for nefarious purposes....

How do you explain Vroom in the Night Sky Nintendo indie head Damon Baker recently spoke to Kotaku regarding its indie policy, just to clarify things a bit. He notes that while some startups and small studios have had troubles getting onto the Switch eShop, they’ve been more open than ever: I think the best way to explain it is, over the last year we have been evolving past what was initially more of a curated content position to now a curated partnership position....

Which means I wanted to play it about a dozen times Devolver Digital had a great showing at PAX East this year. ThoughHotline Miami 2might have had the most buzz going in, not long into the show people were shouting aboutNot a Hero. Developed by Roll7 (ofOlliOllifame), it could just be the next pixel shooter juggernaut. Though its visuals are beautifully retro (complete with the neon pink and teal color palette that is in vogue right now — though each of the game’s five districts will have a different look), its gameplay takes cues from more modern shooters....

Human Revolution really takes advantage of the GamePad It seems the one thing we’ve really heard the most fuss aboutDeus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cutis the boss battles. Whilst they were a bone of contention in the original versions of the game, this newer version on the Wii U has boss fights that are much more adaptable and more in-tune with theDeus Exethos. That’s not the only thing to get fixed up though — there’s a whole host of improvements and tweaks being made to the game....

The Halloween wild area event runs through Sunday Pokemon SwordandShieldis still trucking, putting on competitive tournaments and headlining a lot of other properties generationally: like the card game. And nowPokemonis getting a Halloweenwild areaevent. The tweet from Pokemon’s Japanese account confirmsthat spooky-themed Pokemon like Dusknoir, Zoroark, and Corviknight can be spotted. Sableye and Thievul are also spotted in the promotional image, and “different colors [shiny] of Zoroark ” are teased. That essentially translates to increased odds of a shiny Zorark (but only that evolution)....

Recently, Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime talked fairly candidly about the issues present in Wii title,Disaster: Day of Crisis. Reggie called the voice acting “laughable” and then essentially told the IGN interviewer that he doesn’t believeDisasteris worth a $50 price tag. Currently, the game is only available in Europe and Japan and is missing on NA release lists. In addition to that, Reggie said he would monitor the game in Europe and if it sells well, he would bring it to North American audiences....

Back to Deadside Valiant Entertainmenthas announcedthat Blowfish Studios will be returning Shadowman to the world of video games inShadowman: Darque Legacy. This will be the first game to feature the property since 2002’sShadow Man: 2econd Comingon PS2. We don’t have much to go on here. Valiant has released a short teaser for the upcoming title, and boy, is it teasing. It’s one of those teasers where it pans across junk lying around before finally settling on one particular thing....

To paraphrase George Orwell: “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a community of gamers modifyingSkyrim… forever.” Bethesda’s epic RPG has beenmodded to death, but none hit quite the same as this one that allows NPCs to break wind. Nexus Mods userJobiWanUK(thanks,PC Gamer—no really… thank you) brings flatulence to the fantasy world of Tamriel. Not only does this mod give a new voice to the denizens ofSkyrim(or at least their asses), it also implements realistic reactions for that added dose of fart-y immersion....

Press X Sonic 2022 has a nice ring to it (ha), but according toSonicproducer Takashi Iizuka (who has worked on the series sinceSonic 3), this year will be the “biggest year” for the character to date. Speaking to Twinfinite, Iizuka elaborates on his claim: “We believe that 2022 is going to be the biggest year for Sonic. We have a lot of great things that we’ve done this year and a lot of great things for the future as well....

Octoling (Blue), Inkling (Yellow), and Smallfry Splatoon 3amiibo? Sure! We have three more figures on the way thanks to a confirmation fromthe recent Nintendo Direct presentation. Those figures are: They join the current list ofSplatoonamiibo, which is formidable at this point: According to Nintendo, the new trio is coming “this holiday,” but no further details were provided. Interestingly,amiibo news points outthat different regions could be getting individual or 3-pack SKUs. Based on the US Nintendo Direct presentation, individual packs seem to be the default in that region....
