Bring it on Capcom developers have been hinting at apossibleResident Evil 2 Remake, and now, it’s just been officially approved by the publisher. Yoshiaki Hirabyashi, who handled the recent remake of the first game will be spearheading the project, but no official details have been given as towhatit actually entails. As I’ve said many times, I’m all for more love forResident Evil 2, which is mostly forgotten in recent discussions regarding the series....

Plus, tentacles in New York After four months,The Secret Worldfinally gets its first raid, along with new missions and features in the largest update so far. It was this MMO’s dearth of multiplayer opportunities that made me ditch it in favor of other more sociable titles, so it’s great to see it finally trying to give people are reason to group. Set in New York, this first raid pits all three factions against eldrich, tentacled horrors....

Ominous Activision Activision is the absolute king of saying things like “there will be no microtransactions at launch,” and then laughing like an anime antagonist off camera. While the “none at launch” phrase has become key for them, fans lament the fact that a nebulous “demand” requires adding them in after the fact: after reviews have landed and the publisher is in the clear. Although that’s not written in the stars forTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2(a remaster of the first two games due later this year), it’s certainly a possibility....

Seems pretty legit As some of you may know,I’m anElder Scrollsnut— possibly the biggest one on Destructoid if you include games outside ofSkyrim. So while I have my reservations regarding the upcomingElder Scrolls Online, I’m eager to see what it can bring to the table. Say what you will about anElder Scrollsgame moving into the MMO space (my main issue right now is the subscription fee), but it looks like Zenimax is really taking its time to make this fairly authentic to the series’ established lore....

It evolved Well this is an interesting one. Some time ago,Steel Assaultgarnered $8,706 on top of a $8,000 goal for an 8-bit style platformeron Kickstarter. I think it mirrorstheBatmanNES gamein all the best ways, offering up a darker style but still maintaining its retro roots. But things change. Over time, the developers decided to go with a newer look, overhauling the game to feel more like an enhanced 16-bit project. Both of them look pretty great to me, but the project creators have taken it upon themselves to refund backers if they want, as this isn’t exactly what they signed up for — pretty noble if you ask me....

FIGHT FOR THE RIGHT Local rap group “Trio The Punch” will be headlining the “Mr. Destructoid First Annual Rap Festival” in Miami, Florida this year! Taking inspiration from nerd rap legends The Beastie Boys, the group is primarily a cover band with creative interpretations of all forms of rap. They’ve covered the likes of Run DMC, 50 Cent, Machine Gun Kelly, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and Common, though their true passion lies with the cheesy charm of Mike D’s rap styling....

If you’re looking to build up a strong party inWuthering Waves, you’re going to need to ascend your party members and for this, you need certain materials. If Yuanwu is part of your party, you’re going to need Terraspawn Fungus. Ascending party members is vital as you progress and if you want to survive tougher fights, as it allows you to level up characters and increase their stats. Remember that, once you’ve ascended your party members and increased their maximum level, you’ll also need to verify that their weapons are also leveled up....

Official expansion to Enemy Unknown is officially official 2K Games has lifted the lid onXCOM: Enemy Within, an expansion to the wildly popularEnemy Unknown. It’ll be available on November 12, and aims to bring a whole host of fresh content to the original game. New soldier abilities allow you to research Gene Mods to augment your fighters’ physical capabilities, and the Mechanized Exoskeletal Cybersuit. MECs can use flamethrowers or grenade launchers, because it is cool when mechs use those things....

It’s a tie between Siegfried/edge lord Nightmare [Update:Wow I did not expect this turnout! I’ve placed a poll below with several of the most popular answers to settle this (out ofSmash) once and for all.] I have some really fond memories ofSoulcalibur, starting from the very first game the day it launched on Dreamcast. My friend had a lot of ridiculous names for its cast members, including “Butterknives” Taki and “Mitsubishi” Mitsurugi....

Some might say I am a happy-go-lucky guy. I walk around the streets of Los Angeles with a noticeable spring in my step and occasionally (read: all the time) get caught humming a song fromMary Poppinsas I brush my teeth in the morning. Basically, not many things get me angry. Lately, though, something in particular has been making me a little crabby. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is really getting my goat....

Skyclops is a rather unique-looking Dream Realm boss in AFK Journey. It’s described as a “nightmare” but looks to me like a “biblically correct angel.” Either way, it fights by summoning help. You might need help, too, which is why I’m here. As always, the composition of your team is going to be based heavily on what you’ve accumulated in playingAFK Journey. You might not have a particular character, and if you do, it’s possible that they aren’t at an effective tier....

RememberSkyline? I didn’t think so. Alien invasion movies are easy to forget these days, as it seems like anew one is announced at least once a week. I figure the same thing will happen with the upcoming filmBattle: Los Angeles. Nothing about it looks bad, but in today’s highly competitive film market, nothing about it looks good enough to set it apart from the pack. Only time will tell though. People didn’t think thatDistrict 9would be anything special either, and they sure were wrong about that....
