Destruction AllStars for the PS5 looks all sort of ’90s and I’m here for it

I’m kind of into how silly it is Today during the very E3-feeling PS5 stream, Sony showed offDestruction Allstars, and whatever it is, I’m in. Nothing seems off limits here. There’s car destruction, running on foot, wall-running, hanging off car windshields and drop kicking. All of it is framed around a blood sport-esqueTwisted Metalvibe, with the goal of “wrecking as many cars as possible.” Wicked.

Eye Roll Fest 2010: Gran Turismo 5 is 90 percent complete

My eyeshurtfrom rolling. I’m dizzy and they’re bloodshot from rolling. Why all the rolling? It comes from the statement from Polyphony Digital’s Kazunori Yamauchi saying that the ultra-delayedGran Turismo 5is 90 percent complete now. Bullsh*t. I feel like even if it’s 99 percent complete, we still won’t see it for forever. “We are just working on the last ten percent and polishing up everything,” he toldUSA Today.

GDC: Conquering worlds for free in PlanetSide 2

First-person shooters lend themselves incredibly well to vast, open environments, so it’s almost criminal that we don’t have more games taking that to the level the originalPlanetSidedid.

No points, no timers, and no barriers were involved … only hundreds of players, fighting for control over a particular base....
