The official word from Capcom has come down regarding the recent hack and subsequent Internet explosion ofStreet Fighter X Tekken‘s 14 DLC characters, which have been exposedas being actual on-disc content. First is the news that Mega Man and Pac-Man, the PS3 “exclusive” characters, will be made available to owners of that console onMarch 13th, one week after the game’s initial release. No word on if (and for what price) those two characters will be making it to the Xbox 360, but seeing as they’re both already on the 360 game’s disc, chances are they’ll be officially unlocked by Capcom at some point....

Kickstarter closing soon Hidetaka Suehiro, better known to his pals as “Swery”, hasreleased an imageon his Instagram account showing a prototype build of his current project,The Good Life, running on Nintendo Switch. Swery is quick to make clear that this isn’t necessarily a confirmation of anything, just that his programming team are fans of the Nintendo platform and were apparently keen to explore the possibilities of adapting the unique title to the format....

Because naming them rings would create a lot of confusion among players since the titularElden Ringisn’t an actual ring you can equip, we call the equipable perks inElden Ring“talismans”. Never mind the nomenclature, though, as they do the same job as the rings from theSoulsseries. Elden Ringfeatures nearly one hundred talismans, all with varied perks and possible downsides. You’ll find it hard if not completely impossible to come up with the bestcombo of fourthat you can wield at any time — especially since some parts of the game seriously benefit from the timely usage of some specific sets of talismans — but it’s possible to come up with ten talismans that never fail to make one runevenmore awesome....

It’s still the Taisho era in my heart As promised by the“Sega Propaganda Department”, a scheduled livestream has dumped more details aboutNew Sakura Taisen(its tentative title), the upcoming sequel to Sega’s long-dormant steampunk series. And what details they are! As was announced previously, the new game will continue to be set inSakura Taisen‘s “Taisho era,” an alternate version of 1920s and ’30s Imperial Japan where steam power runs everything from cars to computers to Koubu, demon-fighting mecha suits that look like a cross between VOTOMS and a vending machine....

Versus and co-op When we all found out thatSuper Mario Maker 2wouldn’t support direct online play with friends, we kind of had a collective headshake. This is 2019, Nintendo is charging money for online services now, shouldn’t this be a given when much smaller studios can figure it out? It was such a big deal that the game’s producer had to publicly address the issue during a playthrough at E3, and even went as far as to confirm that eventually, there would be an update that added that functionality into the game....

Last week saw theexciting new trailerfor the upcomingFalloutshow. While the adaptation is going to be telling its own story, you may be wondering whether it might touch onFallout 5‘s possible narrative, even accidentally. However, Todd Howard has made sure that hasn’t happened. In a recent interview withDen of Geek(as spotted byVGC), the show’s executive producer Jonathan Nolan clarified whether the TV series is, to some extent,Fallout 5. Nolan says a conversation between him and Todd discussed the idea of the show being a part of the overallFalloutuniverse, rather than being a retelling of one of the game’s stories....

The video shows the opening of the game, featuring the famous tumble down a waterfall, followed by some exploration, combat and dialogue, it gives a good impression as to how the basic mechanics of the game will “flow” in the anticipated release....

It’s a medium-sized delay What crummy fortunetellers and soothsayers we are. We couldn’t even predictThe Medium‘s delay before it happened. The Xbox Series X launch-window lineup took a not-insignificant hit as Bloober Team’s new horror gameThe Mediumgot pushed back into early 2021. Originally scheduled for June 10, 2025, it has been delayed until June 08, 2025. That’s a seven-week setback. Bloober Team attributes the delay explicitly to COVID-19 and implicitly to the fact thatCyberpunk 2077swooped in and stoleThe Medium‘s launch date....

Happy weekend, Destructoid. I have a lot of plans this weekend myself, so let’s dive into this one to talk about what our plans are for gaming ahead of some mammoth releases in the next couple of weeks. It’s a pretty good spread of games this time, with a handful of new releases across multiple systems available, as well as some fan-favorites making a return. So there is something for everyone here, depending on your likes and dislikes....

All-action, full horror, or another mix? The reaction forResident Evil 7has been mixed since launch, and as someone who took it for a spin isolated from the discussion, I kind of figured that would happen. People felt scorned by5and6(and to some extent 4)’s move toward an action series, and Capcom took it further with each subsequent iteration. Butthat same discussion has been happeningfor months now, leading up through the unveiling of the long-delayedNot a HeroDLC, and I wanted to get your thoughts....
