Every time I see a new trailer forKingdom Hearts III, it reminds me I’ve still only completedChain of Memorieson the Game Boy Advance like 13 years ago. I need to get my butt in motion and get through the series if I want to be all caught up with theIIIhits later this year. I’m super excited about making my way aroundToy Storyand the recently announcedMonsters, Inc.world could be very, very good....

Behind-the-scenes footage with Zachary Levi The Final Hours ofTomb Raidercontinues with episode four, which offers a look atcompetitive multiplayerfor the first time. It’s about what you would expect to find in a third-person shooter, but the traps and ability to scale the environment should provide some entertaining options. “It’s something we talked about when creating the initial design forTomb Raider, but it was very important that there weren’t any distractions from our focus on delivering a great single-player experience, so we parked the idea of creating multiplayer at Crystal Dynamics and looked to our sister studio, Eidos Montréal,” said CD studio head Darrell Gallagher....

Every Tuesday a bunch of us Dtoiders get together and hop online to play some Team Fortress 2 on theofficial Destructoid server! You should join us! Yesterday was Veteran’s Day in America, a day for remembering all of the people who made sacrifices in the armed services. My day was spent in the most solemn and respectful way I know: Playing video games and swearing at 12-year-olds. For those of us who can’t contain their memorializing to just one day: fear not, we have TF2sday to look forward to....

Recent years have seen several billion-dollar acquisitions and mergers occur in the gaming industry, and it seems the trend isn’t slowing down soon. Although the shake-up could lead to studios receiving the capital they need to execute more ambitious ideas, it also comes at the risk of creating anti-competitive monopolies. Techland is one of the latest studios to make headlines, as it has recently been revealed that Tencent is in the process of becoming a majority stakeholder in the studio....

Crystal defender WhenTerraria: Otherworldwas announced, it was difficult to tell from the trailer what makes it stand apart from its big brotherTerrariaor futuristic half-cousinStarbound. Developer Re-Logic’s description gave some insight, suggesting a stronger strategy component. I think I can see that in the trailer above, taken from GDC 2015. Those weird monoliths we saw last time all have crystals powering their unknown functionality, and local creatures seem to want to destroy the structures, and the player can set up defensive turrets to protect them....

The larger FromSoftware-verse plays host to many deadly enemies, but few are as nefarious as some of the games’ seemingly humane characters. Let’s take a look at one of gaming’s most insidious rogues gallery. The Dung Eater (Elden Ring) The dung eater is probably the angriest character I’ve ever seen in a game. A regular supervillain would just want to kill everyone and get it over with, but something as simple wouldn’t satisfy this guy....

What’s on your mind this E3? Let’s chat Even though E3 2021 doesn’t start until Saturday, it feels like it’s well underway. I mean, we already got a hopefully pretty sturdy release date forElden Ring.I feel like I can coast through most of the (many) remaining E3 showcase streams without a care in the world — until the Nintendo Direct on Tuesday, anyway. Nintendo’s capable of hurting me. Moyse does a great job with hisWhatcha been playing?...

Just like the Tonys, we’re also ignoring Mean Girls Right now, I’m overcome with an immense feeling of joy. I’m happy, content even, because after seven, long days of running around the crowded hallways of the Los Angeles Convention Center and sleeping in an apartment so cold Ice Man would ask that we turn up the heat a little bit, I don’t have to go to E3 anymore. Seriously, I am so glad E3 is a thing of the past....

Seriously, keep safe Today’s Network Roundup is dedicated to our East Coast friends and family, currently dealing with varying degrees ofHurricane Sandy‘s wrath. We’re even getting effects all the way in Chicago right now, I can’t imagine how it is all the way on coast. I bet it’s wet, windy, and cold.
