Plus pre-loading details and system requirements I keep forgetting thatDoomis releasing on a Friday (May 13). Good timing on the “Friday the 13th” front, for one, but also having a whole weekend to tear through a new game? Much appreciated. Bethesda has shared the launch details and if you’re looking to get in as early as possible, here’s what you need to know. While pre-loading for the Xbox One version ofDoomis now available for digital purchases (clear up 50GB of storage space!...

Three, actually Good news, everyone!Onimusha: Warlords, the first game in the series and often the most beloved, is coming to modern systems. What was once known as “Feudal Resident Evil” eventually grew into its own series, and cemented itself as one of Capcom’s trademark action franchises. I typically replay the original trilogy once every few years, and this re-release lines up with my plans perfectly. There are some provisos though. In the west, only the US is getting physical copies, and only on PS4 and Xbox One....

A beautiful cast, a dark secret. A panty shot. Sony announced new PS3/PS Move gameUntil Dawnat their press conference at gamescom today. You’ll play as 7 different characters, with relationships that develop over the course of the story. Your goal is to keep them alive over a long night, until dawn. See what they did there? In the trailer they showed, some of the characters are headed to the “love shack” out in the deep woods on a snowy night, getting ready to rock....

Normally we might skim over the music video above or save it for aWeekend Destructainment, but considering that just happened and we’re all up in the listening to music anyway withdtunes, it’s getting its own story. I’ve never heard of Pato Pooh or Adam Tensta, but their songFollow Mehas a catchy, and somewhat chiptune sound to it, and their video is jam packed full of awesome retro gaming references.I don’t know how cool it is to rep “Stockholm City,” but I do know it’s cool to repMega Man,Super Mario Bros....

Podtoid hits the Destructoid frontpage every Thursday! On this week’s majestic Podtoid, Jonathan Holmes becomes the new face of Hollywood by starring in aV for Vendettasequel AND appearing as spunky ghosts in horror films. Jim rebootsHe-Man and the Masters of the Universe, while Bono Vox joins the fight to get David Boreanaz to become Matt Borealis. As if that wasn’t enough (and it is), the gang chats about Zelda being playable in more games, Microsoft’s potential future Xbox head, and Double Fine being silly with money....

Amazon has another day of gaming-focused deals on the table today, if you’re so inclined. Chief among deals is theirDeal of the Day promotionfeaturingPrototype 2which is available for $29.99. I’ve been scoping out the Redbox locations in my neighborhood for the last week looking for a copy, but I might just bite the bullet and pick it up for this. In addition, it’s a Gold Box day for games with lightning deals throughout the day on a variety of products....

Better double-check those barricades It looks like tactical shooterRainbow Six Siegeis gearing up for its new season of bullet-pumpin’ mayhem. Ubisoft released a teaser image for Operation Crimson Heist, which is expected to bring a brand new operator, a map rework, and several other new additions to the challenging multiplayer tile. “Getting the job done can sometimes require a more creative approach”, reads the teaser, complete with creepy image of what appears to be a fella in a flat cap, a big-collared coat, and a peering pair of red spectacles....

Dig that wing For many, Cloud defined a generation. While the worth of his legacy as a character is still debated to this date, odds are most people recognize the spiky Saiyan hair and theBerserk-esque Buster Sword. It’s why he’s remained an icon of the franchise for so long, appearing in myriad bits of nonFinal Fantasymedia likeSuper Smash Bros.andKingdom Hearts. Speaking of the latter, that’s just what this new figure is based on....

For all your demonic football-player needs Hamster have dropped another classic Neo Geo fighter onto the Nintendo Switch, with the oddly belated arrival of revamped sequelWorld Heroes 2 Jet. Originally hitting arcades and the Neo Geo format in 1994,World Heroes 2 Jetis essentially a mildly tweaked update to, funnily enough,World Heroes 2. It had faster gameplay, a new dash ability and a few new roster members, such as evil American footballer Johnny Maximum....

Because y’know, that’s technically when the sengoku periodends. For all the liberties Capcom’sWarriors-killer series has taken with Japanese history, its core storyline has stuck somewhat faithfully to What Actually Happened. The Last Party, which is a theatrical anime moviedue this year, is based on the plot ofSengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, and details the conflict between Mitsunari Ishida and Ieyasu Tokugawa, which ends at the epic Battle of Sekigahara. Since Sekigahara was pretty much where the sengoku period ended in real history,The Last Partyan appropriate subtitle....

SASC, or South Australia Smash Central And so it begins. When I ran my impressions piece forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate‘s newDragon Quest-themed Hero character, I called out some of his more contentious elements: most notably, his randomness (RNG). Although I considerSmasha more relaxed game and don’t mind him so much, the competitive scene was inevitably going to be split on his random chance to make Smash attacks more powerful (critical hits) and his randomized “command” ability....

Because Sonic After the poor showings ofSonic Boom: Rise of LyricandShattered Crystal, where does theSonicfranchise go from here? In your pocket, apparently. The next installment has been revealed, and it’sSonic Runners, a mobile title. The announcement came at “Sonic Fan Thanksgiving 2014” in Tokyo, as reported byFamitsu. Details are scarce apart from the name and platform. Producer Takashi Iizuka confirmed a 2015 release date and said more information will come in January....

A web-sling down memory lane Everyone has their eyes set on one particular superhero right now, at least as far as the video game world is concerned. It’s the guy whose inspiration has eight eyes and eight legs too. That’s a long-winded way of saying Insomniac’sSpider-Manis only a month away and it looks like it will be a very good game. Spider-Man has gone through his share of iterations over the years (closing in on 60 years at this point, actually) and the PS4 version ofSpider-Manhas found a creative way to pay homage to a few of those different web-slingers....
