Including Jonathan Holmes, Jim Sterling, and many more Games likeSnatcherandGabriel Knightwere a little bit before my time, but they’re pretty intriguing nonetheless. The fine folks at MidBoss do seem to remember those times, though, and2064: Read Only Memorieslooks to recall those times while including something those games didn’t have: Lots of quality voice-acting. Now that the game’s gearing up for its console debut this August 15th on PS4 and PS Vita (folks whobought it on PCwill get the extra content from the console versions for free), MidBoss are opting to highlight the voice cast, which includes a number of names in games writing and acting like Erin Fitzgerald, Melissa Hutchison, Giant Bomb’s Dan Ryckert, Zoe Quinn, Austin Creed, Destructoid alum Jim Sterling and our own Jonathan Holmes....

‘Focus first on creating fun and new gameplay’ In an interview withGame Informer, Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto spoke about where the company’s priorities lie in terms of creating new intellectual properties.There are a lot of familiar franchisescoming up for Wii U and 3DSand although many of them look great — terrific, in some cases — is this overwhelming reliance on familiar characters a problem? “Certainly within Nintendo,” begins Miyamoto, “we have people internally who are saying, ‘Well, we have our old characters from our old games, and that’s old IP, and we should think about creating new IP....

I was going to try a portmanteau of “gacha” and “tactics” here, but it didn’t work Twenty-twenty is going to be a somewhat seismic year for free-to-play mobile games if everything releases according to plan. We haveDiablo Immortalin the works from Blizzard, the international release of Yoko Taro’sSINoALICE,Dead by Daylight Mobile,League of Legends: Wild Rift, and possibly thatTom Clancy’s Elite Squadgame we first found out about last year. In fact, just this week we saw the release of a new Disney gacha game, a newGame of Thronesfree-to-play app, and the Early Access release ofRomancing Saga Re;univerSe....

Promoted from our Community Blogs! [It’s often been said that limitations help creativity. Well, I don’t think there’s any genre more limited than single-screen platformers! Pacario takes us on an old-school, no scrolling allowed trip down memory lane. Got a story to tell? You should write your own CBlog!~Bass] The platformer is among the most cherished of genres, and for many, probably synonymous with the medium itself. Indeed, when someone blurts out “video game” in random conversation, the scene of a squat, Mario-like sprite bounding along is likely the first image many imagine....

Not all mutants are bad When we first learned aboutMutant Year Zero: Road to Eden(still a too-long name),it was with a cinematic trailerthat introduced the world but not the gameplay. The duck and pig protagonist duo in some sort of apocalyptic wasteland setting is strangely enticing. But, the idea of an adventure game mixed with tactical turn-based strategy was even more promising. After a lengthy hands-off demo at GDC last week, I’m inclined to think the genre blending will work fantastically....

‘Zelda’s Lullaby’ I’m only several hours intoHyrule Warriorsand while there’s already a lot to like here, I think I’ve figured out what my favorite part of the game is: a song. Specifically, “Zelda’s Lullaby.” It has been featured prominently in the series sinceA Link to the Pastand this spinoff is no exception. You’re treated to the tune after each adrenaline-pumping battle and I frequently just let it play for a while, unable to continue past the results screen....

See how the system’s changed Slapshots from the point, cheeky tip-ins, and wristers through traffic are all perfectly fine, but when you play anNHLgame, you want to embarrass your opponent. You want them going to get their jock out of the rafters while you plug your ears with your Stanley Cup rings. NHL 15claims to be able to give you that ability. With the Superstar Skill Stick, the right-stick system has evolved in a way to make it look like you have the puck on a string....

“Thank you for your support” New figures from Square Enix claim thatNieR: Automatasold 6.5 million units since launch, which was a staggering five-ish years ago. The announcement comes fromthe game’s official US Twitter account, as well asthe Japanese Twitter arm. Both tweets thank fans for their support, while the Japanese one reminds us that the game came out five years ago somehow, and this past February was actually the fifth anniversary (周年) of its release....

In aninterview with Famitsu, Nintendo Producer Eiji Aonuma, and Director Hidemaro Fujibayashi confirmed thatThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomwill not be receiving any new content or DLC.Genki_JPNon Twitter translated the interview: “We have no plans to release additional content this time, but that is because we feel like we have done all we can do to create play in that world,” Aonuma told Famitsu. “This time, the reason we decided to make a sequel to the previous game in the first place was because we thought it would be worth experiencing new ways to play in Hyrule....

Frodo could’ve used this The whole premise of Obsidian’s upcoming game,Grounded, is that you’re a kid who’s the size of a bug. Think about that. It’s terrifying. Ants aren’t so bad when we’re dealing with normal proportions, but a person-sized ant is a horrorshow. Anyone who has playedEarth Defense Forceknows why humongous insects are a bad idea. However, Obsidian is merciful enough to give you an out from taking on the creepiest of the creepy-crawlies....

We’ve become very accustomed to seeing newPaldeckvideos released byPalworldevery weekend, but the one released on June 15 is slightly different. Rather than showcasing a Pal we’ve come to know, they showed off a Pal that we’ve yet to meet — Chillet Ignis. Chillet has become a huge fan favorite among players. The original Ice type Pal is a fluffy looking Dragon capable of inflicting huge damage, all while looking cute, and the Ignis variant is no different....
