When you play video games as an adult, you have a lot of moments when you find yourself wishing you could be a kid again. Like this morning, when I came across a reversible Super Mario-themed backpack I would have worn until the straps fell off and my teacher asked me: "Shouldn't you have graduated at this point?"
NIS America announced today that Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters will be making its way to Europe in 2015, so no one has to be left behind when it comes to bustin' ghosts. 'Cause it makes you feel good and all.
Tokyo Twilight Ghost Hunters is from the developers of Deadly Premonition, but features music from Nobuo Uematsu, so you've got the best of both worlds, in a sense.
The spooky amalgam of visual novel and strategy RPG is releasing for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, with Aksys Games handling the US release.
You know the ever-looming embodiment of tiny evil that scary movies trot out for cheap scares? Lucius II will let you play as one. Expect blood. Lots of blood.
I was pretty solid at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 in my day. But I don't hold a candle to GeorgeThePlushie, who demolished the game in 3 minutes and 26 seconds.
Rise of Incarnates is that Bandai Namco fighting game that's supposed to be like the Gundam Vs. series but sadly, unfortunately, without any Gundams. If Steven hadn't previewed it, I likely wouldn't be aware it exists, but I am, so I might as well tell you that the beta is here.
And it's an open beta, at that, which means you can get right in. Would-be players can take Rise of Incarnates for a spin by downloading the client here, though it's worth noting a Steam account is needed. The beta will run through Sunday, August 17. Plenty of time.
I like the "Grim Reaper" doctor character. He rides on a wave of zombies, as shown below.
[Thanks, Angel]
Happy Friday!
Destructoid has always been about community. That's what initially drew me to the site and I'm sure there are many of you out there who feel the same way. That's why I love when I get the chance to talk about the awesome stuff our community is doing, stuff like PSToid.
PSToid is an awesome podcast run by the fine folks who manage the PlayStation Friday Night Fights forum and blog posts each week, these are also the same awesome people who host various games every Friday for the PlayStation 3, 4 and PS Vita.
Before we ever get to play most video games, we see ads for them. Usually they'll get us excited about the next chapter in a favorite franchise, or even a brand new one. But sometimes they take things too far. We've seen loads of ads that are meaningless or, worse, in bad taste. Ill-advised. Offensive, even.
Zack Snyder heard a couple of local radio DJs in Detroit talking shit about HIS movie—specifically about Aquaman, and that was just not going to fly. So he called them up and politely set them straight. And in doing so, he revealed a whole lot about his Aquaman. Plus, it's just adorable.
Road Redemption , the Kickstarted spiritual successor to damn near legendary motorcycle racer Road Rash, has a mode where cars just continuously rain from the sky while you're driving. Seriously.
Reading through Alasdair's review of Gods Will Be Watching , I don't know if I could put myself through some of the game's horrors even once, much less multiple times due to failure. Deconstructeam's Mercy update should help. It offers three new difficulty levels, two of which are free of the dreaded random-number generator (RNG), following player feedback.
There are some miscellaneous fixes in the update, too. Good on you, Deconstructeam -- both for acting quickly to implement these changes and for coming up with that image.
Square Enix has just announced a "Gold Edition" of the upcoming Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris that includes a bevy of extras that Tomb Raider fans will want to pay attention to.
The Gold Edition comes rocking a three-inch Lara Croft figurine, a folding map of the overworld, a Season Pass, and an artbook featuring concept art from the game.
There are also specific outfits according to the retailer you purchase the game from. Amazon will carry the Deus Ex pack, whereas Steam has the Hitman pack. Those who pre-order at GameStop receive the Tomb Raider Legends pack.
The Season Pass will cover all of the future DLC releases for the game, such as the "Twisted Gears" and "Icy Death" packs. You can buy the Season Pass separately if you wish, but doing so won't include the pre-order costume bonuses.
