‘PlayStation is the best way to play’ Sony is in a precarious spot with full all-console cross-play. Very few games support it (basicallyFortnite,Rocket LeagueandDauntless, which are all Epic-hosted or Epic-owned, as well asPUBG), and even fewer projects are confirmed to support it on the horizon. But with the launch ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfarecoming up next month, that outlook could change. As reported by Wired, Sony has now taken the cross-play feature “out of beta....

The Sunken Kingdom includes a new scenario for our team of intrepid explorers, as they search the subterranean ruins of a once prosperous people, blasting ghoulies and bagging treasures as they make they way to an abandoned temple that lies at the heart of this new locale....

Kinect didn’t make the game To say that developer Hidetaka Suehiro — or, Swery65 as most everyone knows him — has a knack for creating unique and strange videogame experiences would be an understatement. He has a loyal cult following, as anyone that loves his works tends toreallylove them; the opposite is just as true for his detractors. It’s what has led to 2010’sDeadly Premonitionbeing named the most critically polarizing survival horror game....

Really, just urge them to include the QOTSA discography Looking forward toRock Band 4just as much as I am? You’re probably wondering how the upcoming roster is going to look. Me too. In fact, I’m pretty concerned. I dropped a pretty penny on hundreds of songs, with 70% of them impulse buys because they didn’t have the good stuff I really and truly wanted, like Toto’s “Africa.” But Harmonix is giving us the opportunity to submit suggestions for tracks we want to see in-game in the form of asingle song request format the official Harmonix site....

It’s not a halberd, it’s a javelin Teniten Shrine is another combat shrine inTears of the Kingdom. In a similar vein to the combat shrines inBreath of the Wild, Teniten Shrine requires players to defeat the enemies inside within a specific ruleset. In this case, you can only damage the construct in the shrine by throwing weapons at it. That doesn’t mean using a bow and arrow, either. It’s not as difficult as it may sound, and we’ll go through everything you need to know below....

Alongside the season pass content After launching with no single-player content and only 12 multiplayer maps, EA has announced what sort of things to expect fromStar Wars Battlefront’s coming DLC. The first bit of new content will bethe freeBattle of Jakkupackcoming early in December. Some cynics may think releasing a bit of free DLC is the carrot to the ludicrously expensive season pass’s stick. It makes sense: get everybody on board and into the new content first, and then start coughing up for the future DLC or be left behind in the game you’re now invested in....

Ever since its release in 2004,World of Warcrafthas been a juggernaut not just in the MMO realm, but gaming as a whole.

It’s a game that many of us grew up with and I struggle to think of many other titles that have run this long with this level of commitment from its developer....

Canned fish We’ve coveredSeamanfrequentlythroughoutthe yearsonDestructoidwith overflowing hearts. And it’s under tragic circumstances that we get confirmation:Seaman 3DSwas a planned project that fell through. OriginalSeamandeveloper Yoot Saito wrote ablog post, translated over atNeogaf, reflecting on his relationship with thelate Satoru Iwata. I first met Iwata-san back in 1996, so it was a time before you would typically see him in a suit. It was at HAL in Kofu. I remember that he always carried around a Mac (PowerBook), which was quite rare in the games industry....
