Believe that you can touch the sky The second installment ofAssassin’s Creed III’sTyranny of King Washingtonis out today. “The Betrayal” sees Ratonhnhaké:ton trying to convince Benjamin Franklin to betray the now evil King George Washington. Will he succeed? Maybe he will with the power of the eagle, which let’s players transform into an eagle. I really want an entire based on the premise of changing into different animals kind likeACIII’sDLC, but more central to gameplay....

Reevaluate your impulse to categorize It has always surprised me that video games tend to feel sogendered. You have your big boob women and your strong butt men, and the mainstream video game developers thatfumble throughcreating anyone outside of that heteronormative gender presentation. On the other side, there are what I would call genderless video games, likeFall Guys,Among Us, andMinecraft, that feature characters but allow them to be homogenous, humanoid things, tumbling and building through their worlds without any boob-based hierarchy....

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently addressed the issue of the 3DS XL’s lack of an analog nub. The feather-haired warrior, ever-ready to deflect criticism, had his list of reasons all planned out, with the ultimate message being that you’re just going to have to deal with it. “Attaching a second analog stick is possible but it would have made the system even bigger,” he toldIGN. “It perhaps puts a burden on people that really want that second stick, [but] it’s a call we had to make and these people will have to live with it....

[feat. Polygon’s Nick Robinson] I’m going to coverTransformers: Devastationuntil either the game is cancelled or I have a physical copy in my grubby dork hands. I hope you have all come to terms with this, as I have not.More Than Meets the Eyeis one of the best ongoings in comics. Please read it. Anyway, check out this video we did with Polygon’s Nick Robinson! Nick’s a great dude, and he’s been Destructoid-adjacent thanks to his work at Revision3, so I got really excited when he agreed to stand in front of a camera and listen to me get Frankly Too Excited about transforming robots....

But not the full game until early 2017 In the buildup to this year’s E3, Electronic Arts and BioWare are staying less mum onMass Effect Andromeda. While the two have been tight-lipped for years now, we should get our first good look at the game in about a month’s time. In a post on theMass Effectsite, BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn says thatAndromedawill be shown at the June 12 EA press conference....

Art book shows a new perspective of Columbia Almost a month after its release,BioShock Infiniteisstillon my mind, but not for the reasons you might suspect. If you grow tired of seeing the game plastered on just about every gaming website, magazine, and TV commercial, fear not. This commentary does not exist to reiterate the title’s excellence nor is it a rant geared at opposing such praise. Instead, I’d like to shine some light on the world of Columbia before it was a fully realized sky-bound paradise; years ago when the idea of the game was just gaining traction in the imaginations of Ken Levine and creative team at Irrational Games....

Gotta catch em all! World of Final Fantasywas a really odd surprise. CombiningPokemonwith the art direction and world design ofFinal Fantasymade for a pretty nifty little fanservice type adventure. The game wasn’t the biggest seller around, but now it will get a second lease on life by coming to PC. Alongside the announcement of its November 21 release date, Square Enix has also given us a trailer. Square Enix’s recent PC efforts have been pretty stellar, so I have no doubt this will also be solid....

One Pieceis, without a doubt, an incredible piece of anime artistry. It’s funny, moving, and a joy to watch. However, with over 1,000 episodes and more still coming, that’s a lot of time to sink into one show. Thankfully, if you only want the vitally important details, you’re able to skip some bits. Look, I know; if you’re really into something then you’re likely to want to watch every single episode and soak in all the information given to you....

Three more for the big long list The Xbox One can runCrysis. It’s a long-running meme in video games to ask if something can runCrysis, a game that was infamously resource-intensive when it released 11 years ago. Now, Xbox One has the opportunity to runCrysis— albeit by emulating the Xbox 360 version. All threeCrysistitles (Crysis,Crysis 2, andCrysis 3) are now available on Xbox One as part of the backward compatibility program....

The studio is ‘keeping an eye out for ways to do multiplayer the right way’ Arkane Studios has — for the time being, anyway — wrapped upDishonored, now thatThe Brigmore WitchesDLC is out. The stealth-action title has done well enough to be considered a full franchise by publisher Bethesda and it seems one of the team’s next projects will take place in that same universe, or at least be mechanically similar....
