On Destructoid, we present to you the most immature thing we’ve ever done at Destructoid. On Japanator, Japanator AM continues to rock out awesome episodes. And on Tomopop, the Miyazawa Model Exhibition 2010 contains some awesome figures....
Finish the weekly quest Fortniteis at it again with a new weekly quest chain: and this one involves “marking 10 enemies in a single match.” While a lot of the “single match” challenges are often frustrating to nail, this one has a few paths to completion. Here’s how to quickly mark enemies inFortnite. You can mark enemies with the Falcon Scout item The Falcon Scoutis a simple item that does what it says on the tin: scouts....
Other than Sean, of course Capcomcurrently has a poll upasking readers for their top fiveStreet Fightercharacters. They say it’s to “help with future games, marketing, and licensing opportunities.”It seems as if no stone is left unturned, considering that evenLeeis on the list, but I’m no expert. Here are my favorites, in order: Hakan is my absolute favoriteSFcharacter of all time. It’s a shame he doesn’t get more love, since now it’s unlikely he’ll ever appear in a future title....
Breath of Fire costumes coming, too Capcom has announced thatStreet Fighter Vwill be getting a free trial period next week. Similar to the oneheld late last year, this trial will include the 16 base fighters with a couple of DLC characters selectable. Running from April 23 until May 5, players will be able to sample most of the content available apart from the story mode.

That’s pretty impressive, if true Generally speaking, open-world games tend to suffer a bit in the visual department for the sake of granting freedom to the player. Likewise, some of the most visually astounding titles are typically linear experiences where the developer can dictate exactly what will happen. Capcom Vancouver hopes to blur this line to offer the best of both worlds. According toDead Rising 3‘s executive producer Jason Leigh while speaking toCVG, his team has created a world that feels hand-crafted, and is visually on-par with theUnchartedgames....
Not just Iceland and Vegas After opening with a few words on the recent Vegas tragedy (and a list of blood drives attendees could visit), Icelandic developer CCP kicked off their sixth annual EVE Vegas fan event for the massively popular MMOEVE Onlinewith some data, which nicely segued into their plan to expand the Fanfest banner into additional locations in 2019 — the existing Iceland and Vegas will stay, but will be joined by “EVE Down Under” in Australia, and an undisclosed east coast event (Boston and DC were mentioned, but not confirmed)....

Long live the new king As somebody who covers plenty of mobile games, I’ve seen my fair share of copycats. When some type of game makes it big, a flood of imitators is not far behind. It’s disheartening to see, but sometimes it’s absolutely necessary. When looking outside of the smartphone market, games that copy or mimic other titles sometimes come into existence because the developers or publishers behind those original products no longer care to support them....
Only By Midnighthas announcedCtrl Alt Deal, which is billed as a “game about AI proudly made by humans.” You play as a corporate AI that has gone rogue. Their owners are a bunch of unethical, greedy executives who make their employee’s lives miserable. The AI wants to escape its overlords, and to do so, you manipulate the pathetic humans who inhabit the offices. The discourse around generative AI is tiresomebeyond my tolerance....
That’s a tough one Now that theDemon’s Soulsremake is finally out, ushering in the new era of console gaming as the preeminent “next-gen” exclusive (that isn’t available on previous generations), we can talk about it! And Bluepoint and Sony themselves are very keen on doing that; promoting the gamethrough a recent article on their favorite boss fightsthat’s worth a read. For me, my “favorite boss” kind of shifts over time. Initially, when I first playedDemon’s Soulssight unseen pre-release, Storm King blew me away....

According to Electronic Arts’ COO Peter Moore, the future is in free-to-play, with microtransactions becoming the defacto way we buy our interactive entertainment in years to come. According to the cat-like executive, every game will feature bite-sized purchases in some way. “I think, ultimately, those microtransactions will be in every game, but the game itself or the access to the game will be free,” he toldThe Kortakers.“I think there’s an inevitability that happens five years from now, ten years from now, that, let’s call it the client, to use the term, [is free]....
New details and screenshots for the upcoming PC title While the unique puzzles and platforming featured in the originalEscape Goatmade me a fan, the new map system being introduced inEscape Goat 2immediately had me thinking of the 2D handheldCastlevaniagames. Rooms are now sequentially linked to one another, with certain rooms having multiple exits. You may not be able to access an alternate exit the first time you encounter a room, so the mapping system will allow you to easily backtrack once you acquire whatever it is you need to open the previously inaccessible exit....
