For all of the time we've spent talking about it, Destructoid readers should be familiar with Saints Row: The Third's "The Penetrator," aka that dildo baseball bat. I'd say it's back, but it never truly left. The infamous melee weapon will make an appearance in Flying Wild Hog's upcoming Shadow Warrior remake -- check below for a look at it in action.
The Penetrator will unlock for Steam owners of Saints Row IV once Shadow Warrior releases later this week on the platform. More than any other story, a quote from Devolver Digital CFO Fork Parker feels perfectly warranted. "I'm sorry I can't really hear you over the sound of all that money being thrown at screens around the world," he said.
So this is what happens when Deep Silver and Devolver team up. Sounds about right.
Defend The House are the mythbusters of videogames, and their latest series focuses on the biggest game out right now: Grand Theft Auto V .
Things we learn on the first episode? You can survive a free fall as Trevor if you time your special ability right, you're able to evade the police by hiding in bushes, and the windmill is your best friend when trying to get rid of police helicopters.
There's more curiosities explored in the video, and there's no spoilers to worry about. Some of these tips will really help you out if you're still playing through the game in fact. You can also check out our own tips video!
The way I see it, it wouldn't be Battlefield without a beta. In recent years, I've transitioned into becoming more of a casual player of the series and, like with Battlefield 3, my experience with the new game, at least early on, might be entirely based on what's in the BF4 beta.
It'll be here before we know it. The beta kicks off for everyone on October 4, 2013 (Xbox 360, PC, PlayStation 3) but those who pre-order the Digital Deluxe edition of Battlefield 4 on PC, are a BF3 Premium member, or are a registered owner of Medal of Honor Warfighter's Limited or Digital Deluxe edition will gain entry on October 1.
As for modes and maps, it's Conquest and Domination on the Siege of Shanghai. Here's a quick runthrough of the content from DICE.
Rockstar has released The Music of Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack over on iTunes. The three albums can be bought for $9.99 each, or $24.99 for all three albums consisting of 59 tracks.
Volume 1 contains all the original music created by various artists including Wavves, The Creator, and more. Volume 3 features tracks you may have already heard of from artists like Bootsy Collins, Flying Lotus, and more. Plus there's snippets from all 17 in-game radio stations included.
The album I care about the most is Volume 2, comprised of the original score. This is a first for the series, and just like Max Payne 3's soundtrack these songs are dynamic and responsive to the player's actions within the missions and the open world.
I've been listing to Volume 2 all day over on Spotify, and can't get enough of them. The original score added so much to Grand Theft Auto V's missions, especially the heists.
Blake Robinson is in the process of reproducing the entire Chrono Trigger soundtrack into synthesized orchestral form, and the project started bearing fruit last month. For such a massive game with an equally massive score, a single album was not going to cut it. No, this beast would come knocking three times.
The second volume of Chrono Trigger Symphony is now available through Loudr and iTunes for $7.99. The 24-track sophomore collection welcomes Robo and Ayla then runs us right through the showdown with Magus. As before, Blake has provided Destructoid with extended samples of select tracks, so give those a listen if you feel so inclined.
One more album to go! Same time next month, guys?
