They’re happy with BattlEye anti-cheat Bungie has been toying with the idea of rolling outDestiny 2anti-cheat software for a long time now, alongside of revamping PVP and the tumultuousTrials of Osiris mode.

We have to get a remake sometime, right There’s been a lot ofChrono Triggertalk recently, much to my delight. Between the recentDid You Know Gaming videoand theChrono-likeIkenie to Yuki no Setsuna, things have been pretty lively lately. YouTuber praetus has brought the conversation back, with a full recreation of the Millennial Fair in Unreal 4. I think it looks pretty great. Whenever I hear that tune or even see that setting, it makes me want to playChrono Triggeragain....

If a recentKotakutipster is to be believed, Sony plans on removing component cable support in their next PS3 hardware revision in favor of mandatory HDMI for HD playback. The tip comes in the form of a sneaky snapshot of what is claimed to be a Gamestop memo which states “if you want to play a game or watch a movie in high definition you must use a HDMI cable.” Kotaku offers the recentAACS adopter agreementas potential justification; Ars Technicahas since received wordfrom Sony that HDMI is only required for HD Blu-Ray disc playback, andnotfor HD gaming and streaming content as per AACS standards....

The Lost Levels When developing most games, some content will inevitably get left on the cutting room floor. This happens either because of time constraints or because the devs couldn’t figure out a way to make a concept fun. Sometimes the amount of cut content could fill out an entire sequel and other times it ends up getting lost to obscurity due to no archiving being done on game development....

Like something out of Battletoads The dynamic between Rare and Nintendo is fascinating. You have the former, whose fate was intrinsically linked to Nintendo for so long, now out and about with the competition — Microsoft. Then there’s Nintendo, who has continued to use Rare’sDonkey Kong Countryseries to its advantage, passing the torch to Retro Studios after a 14 year hiatus. While the two aren’t exactly at odds, Rare is more than willing to give us extended looks at what might have been under the Nintendo era of their development history, and that’s just what we’re getting this week with moreDonkey Kong Countryconcept art....

He’d be at home on a metal album cover Doom Eternalwon’t just be full of familiar faces. At QuakeCon 2019, Bethesda showed off the Doom Hunter, a mangled-up half-demon half-machine hybrid that looks like something straight out of the1999 filmViruswith Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland. I won’t lie– Ilove my Syfy junk food. I can’t quite tell if the Doom Hunter is cool or just gross. Either way, I’m into it....

Live at E3 In the newestFFXIVtrailer, Square Enix teased Shiva — a new Primal boss fight that will be hitting the game. At today’s E3 livestream, producer Yoshi-P noted that Ramuh, Ifrit and Shiva are the most popularFinal Fantasysummons, and they needed to get the latter into the game eventually — leading to the decision to include her. Shiva has a “very long and complicated story” that will tie into the core game, but she won’t be making an appearance in patch 2....

During his GDC talk “Interesting Decisions,” Firaxis Games’ Sid Meier spoke about how boiling games down into a series of decisions can be a useful approach for developers to improve their work. One of the highlights of this session was Meier’s gamer archetypes from a designer’s perspective: A great PowerPoint slide with Will Wright was used for that last one. Which type are you, if any? Considering how frequently I put blame on the game itself rather than my own inability, I’ve got to go with “Paranoid....

Beta testing will begin next month Some very fun news for theGuilty Gearfaithful this weekend, as Arc System Workshas announcedthat it will retroactively be adding rollback netcode to the PC edition of its previous releaseGuilty Gear Xrd: Rev 2. A date was not announced for the tech upgrade, but beta testing will begin in late October.

You can spend as little as one hour with it, or a lot more As you may have gleaned from my review,Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroesis not for everyone. It only features one area, very little story, and it’s only a glimpse of what’s to come inPhantom Pain. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a ton of fun to play, and there’s plenty to do outside of the relatively short story mission....
