Live from EGLX Even when it was kicking my ass and pushing me close to my breaking point,Cupheadwas an absolute highlight last year. After dutifully following its development for years, the run-and-gun game lived up to sky-high expectations. It was gorgeous. It sounded fantastic. It played like a dream. This weekend at EGLX, Brett and I had the pleasure of hosting a live interview withCupheadco-creator Chad Moldenhauer and artist and producer Maja Moldenhauer of Studio MDHR during a panel....

If an Amazon listing’s to be trusted Only a bit shy of a month away fromDark Souls II‘s console release, many are left wondering when exactly the PC version will be unleashed upon the masses. From Software’s said in the past that it would see a slight delay so as to make sure it doesn’t half-ass the game on PC, but nothing more concrete’s been revealed about the length of that wait....

Destiny 2: The Series We’re getting down to the wire when it comes toDestiny 2‘s “vaulted” content. Look, I sort of get it. Bungie doesn’t want the game to be overly bloated to the point where it requires an unwieldy amount of storage space on consoles. But…that’s sort of the game you made when you introduced more and more live service elements toDestiny? Whatever your opinion on the matter might be, it’s happening, but one YouTuber is vowing to preserve that removed content (which will allegedly be cycled back in eventually) in the form ofDestiny: The Seriesvideos....

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Naughty Dog’s holding up its end of the bargain. PlayStation’s list of flagship franchise candidates looks something like this:Uncharted,God of War,The Last of Us(as of this month), and maybeinFamous. Half of those are entrusted to Naughty Dog, and, ignoring how some people feel aboutDrake’s Deception, the studio never really falters. This year’sUncharted 4: A Thief’s Endwas a particularly important entry into theUnchartedseries. In a broad sense, all of these flagship candidates are important because they don’t come along all that often; Sony undoubtedly wants to make the most of every opportunity....

Shawn McGrath is upping the ante with his independent gameDyad, which is self-described as a racing/shooter/puzzle hybrid. During PAX East in March, it’ll be playable on THE MACHINE. The contraption is demonstrated in the video above — it’s a motorized ride reminiscent of those roller coaster simulators you’d find in a mall. Booth I9 in Indie Alley is where this sucker will be located, thrill seekers. Don’t forget it. And since presumably not everyone wants to strap into THE MACHINE,Dyadwill also be playable on regular old PlayStation 3 at PAX East....

Tracks confirmed so far: Users of the originalOn Tourwill be able to share songs with those that have theDecadescart as well, though we’re not entirely sure how that’ll work....
