Pre-orders opening for the five richest Kings of Europe A few weeks back,we posted pictures of two finely-crafted dollsof hero-bots 2B and 9S, from Platinum Games’ dystopian hack ‘n’ slash titleNieR: Automata. The dolls will be made available topre-order from creators Volksthis month, you just need to sell your car to purchase them. From October 20, die-hard fans can pre-order Dolfie Dream Dynamite 2B, sculpted by Misaka Seriki. 2B comes with an original head, a new wig, a DDdy base (for all you doll-lingo enthusiasts) and semi-white skin....

Use the X button to confirm and O to cancel Along with Remote Play support on iOS, Sony has also tucked a little bonus feature into the PS4 6.50 system update for certain users: the ability to swap the buttons for Confirm/Enter and Cancel/Back. With this setting, players can tell their PlayStation 4 to recognize “O” as “X” and vice-versa. [Screenshot] New update now allow you to swap between X and Ofromr/PS4...

[Destructoid is grabbing its rail gun and heading to Dallas, Texas this weekend forQuakeCon. Stay posted for game news, previews, and strange happenings from the infamous LAN room.] For a game as rich with ideas and exciting asDishonored, it sure does demo poorly. It’s the price a game pays when it tries to achieve a real sense of player agency, an original setting, and unique game mechanics. Though the game is inspired byThiefandBioShock, it feels brazenly new....

Go on According to Yoshinori Ono at Capcom, they are looking to potentially “revisit the series” at some point. Sure we’ve had the life-supportish PC and PS3Onimusha Soul, but nothing significant has come out of this franchise, not even a remaster (and Capcom loves those!) in years. At the height of its fame, there was even going to be a movie with Heath Ledger. Speaking to The Daily Star, Ono said, “Right now, I’m so focused onStreet Fighter Vthat I’m not really in a position to start that same level of battle that I had gettingStreet Fighter IVmade,” but he went on to say, “All I can do for now is reassure fans that conversations are happening at high levels....

Put her in a fighting game! [Art byMarmalade Mum] I don’t think Capcom knew what they had on their hands with Lady Dimitrescu,Resident Evil Village‘s long monster lady. In her debut appearance a few weeks ago, she didn’t try to look conventionally sexy, or even particularly scary. But she didn’t need to. She’s exactly what a big chunk of gaming wants right now, so she became a star overnight. We don’t yet know if she’s a vampire, a creature based onHachishakusam(a tall Japanese ghost monster that wears a big hat and stalks children), a bioweapon, or some combination of the three, and we don’t need to know....

Just one more turn… We’ve been waiting for this deal to show up publicly and the moment has now arrived: you’re able to pre-orderCivilization VIfor 23% off at Green Man Gaming. While Firaxis’ upcoming time-drain simulator has been listed on GMG’s catalog since its reveal earlier this year, none of the public coupon codes have worked onCivilization VI(at least for North American gamers). Now through a “limited time,”Civilization VIalong with a bunch of other upcoming and recent releases are being discounted by 23% off in a “Summer Showstopper Sale” (aka the ghetto Steam Summer Sale, althoughStellarisis currently cheaper at GMG than Steam)....

Real emotional roller coaster of a headline, that one Civilization Revolutionwas an interesting thing. As it was pared down to function well on consoles, handhelds, and eventually mobile devices, many diehards considered it dumbed down from the roots of the series. Still, it sold well enough, so here we are with another. The catch is that publisher 2K Games is skipping the consoles and handhelds and going straight to mobile....

Highcalibur creations Soulcalibur VI‘s character creation tool is an absolute riot. If you need proof, scroll through thislist of player-made fighters. Some of them are legitimately neat but most of them are just weird as hell. Definitely do not stop until you get to the flabby-strong Pikachu who has bat wings for ears. This post, however, is about a project that’s designated as legitimately neat. Reddit userMagnificentBunnytook the time and care to create all ofDarksiders‘ Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse....

One year after its announcement, Compulsion Games finally gave fans a first look atSouth of Midnight’s gameplay. South of Midnightis a third-person action-adventure game set in the American Deep South, and follows a weaver named Hazel who has been tasked with repair tears in the universe by taking down mythical creatures. Compulsion described the project as a wide linear game, meaning there will be limits to how much players will be able to explore the bayou....

Every Tuesday a bunch of us Dtoiders get together and hop online to play some Team Fortress 2 on theofficial Destructoid server! You should join us! I’d like to start this post by extending my sincerest sympathies to all of our foreign readers for not knowing the glorious holiday of Turkey-and-Booze Day. Truly the noblest of American holidays, Turkey-and-Booze Day commemorates the first time Americans practiced alcoholism and gluttony simultaneously....

Armed Seven DX, Satazius Next, Wolflame Shmups (shoot ’em ups) might be niche, but they will never die. There is an endless well of classics to draw upon, and at this point you could probably have a wholeconsolededicatedto Cave shooters. Case in point: a new tri-game collection is coming to the Nintendo Switch this month. Simply titledShmup Collection(by Astro Port), the package includesArmed Seven DX(released on PC in 2015 and in the Dreamcast aftermarket), Satazius Next(PC in 2011 as well as Dreamcast) andWolflame(2016 on PC)....

Monday started off with what happens when youuse a continue. You lose different things such as coins and trophies depending on what single player mode you play. On Tuesday, Donkey Kong’sSpecial Moveswere shown off. Tuesday also brought the new stage called75mbased offDonkey Konggame. The stage faithfully recreates the 75m stage from the classic game. On Wednesday, Sakurai revealed all49 of the itemsyou can get in the game. It’s pretty funny as Sakurai apologizes to the localization staff for creating a giant workload on them....
