Also major UI changes Sony’s “Shingen” update (also known as 4.0) is going live today on the PS4. It’s mostly just a big UI update, and will provide new looks for the quick, share, and library sections, as well as a much-requested feature — folders. The quick menu now covers a portion of the screen in-game so you can swap music around without obfuscating the entire experience, and there’s also a few new minor features like easy PS4 data transfers, HDR support, and pre-PS4 Pro tablesetting options (it’s out on November 10)....

Yes, they’re questionable at best, but we can overlook that if they give us a rare Pal that we’ve been looking for, right? These shady looking Merchants can be found all over Palpagos, but they’re not in the most obvious of places. Of course they’re not, they’re selling contraband, so they can’t just hang around with theWandering Merchants!...

There is a God, apparently The very first thing I posted on Destructoid as a staff writer wasa love letter to Jeff Minter, the creator ofTempest 2000for the Atari Jaguar, the “visualizer” you see on many consoles and PCs when you put a music CD in, and wonderful newer titles such asTxKand the jaw-droppingPolybiusfor PlayStation 4. In the same article, I berated Atari for theparticularly shitty practice of trying to blockTxKfrom release on other platforms apart from the Vita due to its similarities toTempest, in what I viewed as poor treatment of a brilliant developer who essentially madeTempest 2Kwhat it was in the first place....

An interview with Team Ninja’s Fumihiko Yasuda It’s been a long and winding road forNioh. Koei unveiled the project a decade and a half ago — four years prior to the company’s 2008 merger with Tecmo, whose own Team Ninja (Dead or Alive,Ninja Gaiden) is now handling development of the game — and let’s just say a lot has changed since then. Over that time,Niohhas taken the form of aMusougame (Dynasty Warriors), aNinja Gaidenclone, and probably a few other things in between, director Fumihiko Yasuda told me while catching up with Destructoid in Los Angeles last week at E3....
