Finally! For over a year nowWargroovehas been lacking cross-play on PS4, but that’s going to change this week. Chuckle Fish has confirmed to Destructoid thatWargroove’sDouble TroubleDLC will be coming to PS4 tomorrow,with cross-play. Why is that last part such a big deal? Well, if you recall, Sony was the last major holdout for cross-platform play, as a Sony exec called “PlayStation the best place to play,” implying that you didn’t need cross-play....

If you’re a veteran of YouTube, then chances are, you’ve heard of Dan Brown. No, not the guy who wrote The DaVinci Code. The guys who hostsDan 3.0on Revision3, a show where his viewers vote on what he should do and where he should go for every episode. It’s pretty awesome.

The more you know Valve held a conference for developers last month calledSteam Dev Daysand, as promised, a number of sessions have since been uploaded to YouTube. In some cases, presentation slides are also available. While there’s certainly a fair bit of technical talk to be found here, if you’re here reading this now, you’ll be just fine watching this stuff. Some of the talks that stand out to me as someone who isn’t a game developer are: “In-Game Economies in Team Fortress 2 and Dota 2,” “Marketing Your Game,” “Community and Communication in Games-As-Services,” “What VR Could, Should, and Almost Certainly Will Be within Two Years,” and “Is Early Access Right for You?...

Relatively speaking HardcoreResident Evilfans are no strangers to opening their wallets for cool merchandise, but paying around $675 for a keyboard that resembles a typewriter? Yeah. There’s very little justifying that cost. If you’re struck with morbid curiosity, Capcom is sellingthe keyboard and a few other expensive collector’s editionsforResident Evil 2in Japan. The priciest bundle includes a Leon S. Kennedy statue and “ink ribbons” for a whopping $900, but even just the keyboard on its own starts at $675....

It was almost Bunny-Kazooie With the archival nature ofRare Replay— a collection of games on Xbox One that spans the developer’s entire history — it’s natural that the studio would be digging through a lot of old boxes lately. One of those boxes (proverbial or not) yielded a very special find: footage of the evolution of the game that went on to becomeBanjo-Kazooie. Through this ten minute video, key staff at Rare describeDreamas it was running on both Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64....

Are you an ‘existing and active’ player? WithDestiny‘s new expansionThe Taken Kinglaunching next week, the game just received a new update that is too large to install on last-gen consoles with less than 20GB of storage built in. When this was announced last month, Activision announced that a limited number of affected last-gen players, who could demonstrate that they were still “existing and active”Destinyplayers, would be offered a solution to their situation....

As part of theAntstream Connectstream today (I know, it was the first I heard of it too), the company announced that the retro game streaming service will finally be releasing on PlayStation consoles (PS4 and PS5). On top of that, PlayStation games will start arriving on the service, as well asPico-8 gamesof all things. Announcements all around. Antstream Arcade is a retro-focused streaming service.

Mobile game announced for Japan I was too young to get intoSpace Invaders, influential as it was, butArkanoidis my jam. Taito is working on a mobile game for iOS and Android that combines the two properties,according to Game Watch, and I’m loving the sound of it (minus the regrettable “mobile” part). The company held a press conference for the announcement andthis happened. Also,thisandthis. InArkanoid vs. Space Invaders, you’ll use the paddle-esque Vaus to absorb incoming attacks until your meter is full and you can then fire that energy back in ball form to wipe out the invaders....
