We're still collectively glowing from Devil May Cry 5's E3 reveal, but soon enough, we'll see and hear a lot more from the game. Along with an appearance at gamescom later this month, Capcom plans to host a panel at PAX with director Hideak...

First, the good stuff: Here's the link to buy PAX West passes this year. This post went up at the exact minute tickets went on sale. If you want to go, you're gonna have to queue up quick. Or else you'll find yourself paying twice as much t...

Blighttown was infamous for running poorly in the original release of Dark Souls, so it's no surprise that fans are eager to see how the dreadful swamp area holds up in Dark Souls: Remastered. If it's good, we're good. The recent off-screen...

Is it just me, or this theme music sound like Pirates of the Caribbean?

It seems like every other day a new indie title gets announced that boasts a retro, pixel-art aesthetic. Many claim to be taking us back to the ‘90s and our childhood, but often fail to recreate what made those classics so good. Enter...

If you're looking for a detailed preview of Super Meat Boy Forever, Peter has you covered. This post and video are more of a supplement to his post. I happened to stumble upon him playing the game at PAX, and before you knew it, we were ch...

Some poor shlubb recently went off on a well-known indie game publisher for putting out Minit, stating that -- among other things -- the game's retro graphics were evidence of its irrelevance. To me, that's sort of like saying that the aco...

It's easy to be pessimistic for an interesting video game. Too often, the games that sell are the ones that take few risks and don't attempt to provide the player with anything emotionally or intellectually complicated. Chances are, the ga...

People often assume that lighthearted comedies all lack depth, or that their creators don't work just as hard as those that specialize in other genres. This is part of why we so rarely see a comedy film win an Oscar. Knowing this makes me ...

We posted the exclusive news about No More Heroes: Travis Strikes Again's adventure mode last week, but we never got to post the video where that news originated from. So here is part one of it! Thanks to Gordan Freeman for getting it edit...

Sometimes the best way to get an exclusive is to simply ask. While Destructoid isn’t lacking for content about New Blood’s upcoming FPS throwback DUSK, I was curious how the upcoming Episode Three was shaping up. Turns out I jus...

During my time at PAX East, I was invited to Oculus Game Days to take a look at Twisted Pixel's new spy action VR game, Defector. It's been about a week since PAX came and went and I can finally tell you all about the little bit of their Bo...

In between my meetings at PAX East I spent my spare time walking the floor looking for any games that might otherwise go unnoticed. After finishing up my meeting with the developers of Black Future '88, I ended up checking out another game ...

We may have already recapped our PAX East coverage for this year, but I plan to keep dribbling out time-insensitive posts for at least another week. Case in point, some small talk with Matt McMuscles from the Two Best Friends Play series. ...

This weekend saw video game industry event PAX East take place in Boston, MA. For four days gamers and the media descended upon the developers and publishers in attendance to get their hands on some of the latest titles and hidden gems wing...

These days, there are just two kinds of secrets in video games: the ones that you can uncover in a few minutes using Google, and the kind that remain totally anonymous. The internet has erased many of the world's mysteries, and the "unconf...

I didn’t spend my entire weekend at PAX doing business. In between a few appointments, I got the time to catch up with an old friend and walk around the show floor from a more casual perspective. Without giving away that I was ther...

One of my last stops at PAX East 2018 was to check out Steel Rats. The project from Tate Multimedia is being handled by a small team of no more than thirty Polish developers.  The game puts you in control of the Steel Rats biker gang m...

I saw an unbelievable amount of rogue-lite games at PAX East. I felt like I was drowning in the damn things, but developer Superscarysnakes' Black Future '88 and its giant colorful booth made it stand out in the sea of indie titles. I spoke...

[Update: Rami just reached out to me for additional comment and correction regarding the nature of The Playground. I think that in the original post I made it sound too much like Rami and his partners are intending to somehow replace the P...

One of the main selling points for Dark Souls: Remastered is a smoother and more stable frame rate, and even though recent footage has been encouraging in that regard, we've still wondered how Blighttown would fare given how poorly it ran i...

I haven’t really followed news on The Voxel Agents’ upcoming The Gardens Between. My only real knowledge came from Sony’s Paris Games Week event last October, so I wasn’t sure exactly what changed or how the game w...

Competitive shooters seem to be going one of two ways these days. You have your class-based shooter like Overwatch or the oh-so-popular battle royale games like PUBG and Fortnite. Chainsawesome Games is going for something different with it...
