Have to admit I’m a bit shocked that next week’sRock Banddownloadable content will mark Incubus’ first track pack. Up until this point, the only song by the group playable on the platform was “Dig,” and that appeared onLEGO Rock Band. Incubus fans, your dreams are coming true! The three-song pack will feature “Adolescents,” “Pardon Me,” and “Wish You Were Here.” The full package will run you $5.49/440 MS Points/550 Wii Points....
Some new details on the upcoming Korean MMO based in theMega Manuniverse,Rockman Online, have hit the web. Developer Neowiz has set up a blog for the game with information on its setting and what appear to be character types. According to the blog, it appears that players will be taking on the roles of reploids created based uponMega Man Xseries characters X, Zero and Duo. Set long after the demise of these characters (and seemingly everyone else fromX) and at a point when the Sigma Virus seems no longer a threat, Mavericks begin cropping up again and wreaking havoc....
Gamers eager to get their hands onRed Dead Redemptionhave been throwing questions Rockstar’s way. What does this mean for us? Answers! Answers to questions not submitted by psychopaths, because I hear the studio has a rigorous screening process — hence why they won’t return my emails. Thequestions this weekwere almost exclusively related to multiplayer. Many were just about game mechanics and the like, which is perfectly fine, but I was more interested in the following: “will we be able to swim?...
Rockstar has promised that it’s not forgotten about PC gamers, and that claims to the contrary are unfounded. The studio said this in the face ofRed Dead Redemptionbeing restricted to consoles andL.A. Noiretaking months to find a home on computers. “We hope that with the announcement thatL.A. Noireis coming to PC this fall,” said Rockstar, “and the knowledge that our next big gameMax Payne 3will have a PC release (plus that we’ve released bothGrand Theft Auto IVand theEpisodes from Liberty Cityfor PC), we can finally put to rest any misconceptions that we’ve ‘abandoned the PC platform’....
According toOfficial Xbox Magazine(in the same column thatnamedroppedFable IV), Gearbox Software is aiming to giveDuke Nukema complete reboot once it’s wrapped up production onAliens: Colonial Marines. The first game in this bold new era is due to beDuke Begins, the game that Gearbox had begun work on beforeDuke Nukem Foreverfell into its lap. Quite what direction they’re going to take Duke in is unknown. I’m hoping they actually make him a parody this time, instead ofsincerity masquerading as satire....
Operation Rainfall, a group dedicated to the seemingly impossible task of giving the Wii more than four games this year, has declared potential victory. According to a “source” at Nintendo, bothXenobladeandThe Last Storyare already prepared for a North American release. “According to our source,The NSTC version ofXenobladewas completed just over a month ago, while testing for the PAL and NSTC versions ofThe Last Storycould begin in a month,” claims the Operation Rainfall frontpage....
According to trusted hardware leakers 01.net, Nintendo is having more than a few birthing complications with its upcoming Wii U system. Allegedly in “development hell”, Nintendo has been accused of trying to rush the production of the console to get it out quickly.That’s so totally unlike Nintendo! Due to its rushed design, the Wii U is said to feature “inadequate” streaming and wireless functions, as well as a cheap chip set....
If the enthusiasts onRock Band’sofficial message boardsare to be believed, it appears as though a future set of downloadable content for the rhythm game is set to be country music. Apparently, a report from CMT this Saturday confirmed that Harmonix would be whipping up some knee-slapping, backwater sound at some point this December. A developer who works for Harmonix tried to put out the fire, but didn’t do so great of a job....
If I walked past those guys on the street, neither of us would know who the other is. But that’s just because I’m woefully out of the loop when it comes to metal music. That, according to SEGA, is Lamb of God. They’re contributing an original song written specifically for theIron Man 2game soundtrack. Other bands which will be appearing on the soundtrack include Meshuggah and STEMM. I’ve heard of Meshuggah, mostly on the t-shirts of large and unhappy-looking post-adolescents....
Rocket Riot, which was released back in June, is one of those games you really shouldn’t miss if you have a soft spot for retro and like multiplayer titles. I was chatting with the fine people over atCodegluewhen they came up with the idea of having a contest on Destructoid. In fact, my ears especially pricked up when they told me the grand prize was in fact ten million dollars. Zimbabwe dollars, that is....
Man, look at this thing. It’s a SNES RPG if I ever saw one. I’m a sucker for this crap, and I know you are too. Nintendo and Square Enix also know that, and that’s probably why they’re bringing this old RPG to the Virtual Console. Siliconerasays that this title is coming to Japan’s Virtual Console in June. This game lets you combine words to create your own spells. It looks (and sounds!...
Is this the theme of the day? Teases for reveals? GameTrailers TV is supposed to reveal a “surprise sequel” from Sony this week.Eurogamerpoints out that the show’s promo shows clips ofHeavy Rain, God of War 3andUncharted 2, as if they were supposed to be some kind of hint. Many are betting onResistance 3, which I’d say is a pretty solid bet seeing as howthere’s already billboards with the name on it....
If you want to keep spoilers from burning themselves into your brain through your eye holes, don’t watch this new trailer forSword & Sworcery EP. Although, there isn’t really any context for anything you see, so there’s a fair chance you won’t have the game ruined for you. But is that a chance you’re willing to take? The game is out now for iPhone and iPod. That would explain the presence of a new trailer....
