It’s out this December for PC, PS4, and Xbox One I’m not sure how many people stuck withSteep, but those folks must exist. Ubisoft’s doing an expansion,Road to the Olympics, later this year. It’ll have a separate story mode centered on a hopeful young athlete training “to reach the Olympic Winter Games and be the first athlete ever to win gold in three freestyle events” (Big Air, Half Pipe, and Slopestyle)....

Coming to Japan on July 31 IA/VT Colorfulcertainly lives up to its name. The kaleidoscopic rhythm game from Marvelous AQL stars vocaloid idol IA and is nothing if not vibrant. While the visuals are certainly eye-catching, those bullet hell-esque elements really get my attention. Watching the beats fly in from all directions, the player catching them as they collide with the outer edge of a circle; now that looks like a good time!...
It’s been another fun day here at Dtoid. We’ve got a brand new Podtoid, which I sadly haven’t listened to yet. It probably involves Jim hitting on Holmes while Hamza laughs. We also have the DTOID Show, Mash Tactics, and cheap t-shirts. There is all kinds of news about things likeHitmanbeating up nuns, CD Projekt making a new RPG,Diablo IIIgot a nice patch,Tomb Raideris out in GOG.com, and all sorts of other crazy things....
ESA sets date for trade show return We may not be getting an E3 this year, but that hasn’t stopped The Entertainment Software Association from making plans for the annual trade shows big return in 2021. The ESA has already set the date for E3 2021, which will take place between June 15 and June 17 next year. It’s no secret that The ESA had big plans for E3 this year, shifting the event’s focus to a more“celebrity”, influencer-driven “festival”atmosphere....
It’s obscure and a little creepy… for a change Nippon Ichi Software, in a surprise to end all surprises,has launched a new teaser website, offering up obscure clues to some unknown title currently in the works at the Japanese developer. In keeping with 95% of all NIS teasers, the tone of the website is both old-school in aesthetic while being somewhat unnerving. The site features an old VDU-style monitor, on which appears to be security camera footage of a laboratory of some kind....
In case you hadn’t heard, or hadn’t assumed,James Cameron’s Avatar: The Gamesucks and its sales suck too. Much like any good game developer who has a flop game that was supposed to be a major seller, Ubisoft has begun to march in the excuses. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot laid them out in a recent company conference call. It turns out that it’s the movie’s fault (came out at the wrong time), the holiday’s fault (missed the holiday sales window) and release schedule’s fault (couldn’t hold on to post-holiday sales), but it is not because the game sucked....
No publisher is willing to fund it One of the perks of being a member of Sony’s PlayStation Plus program is that gamers get a couple of free games every month. While the titles on offer have drifted more towards older releases recently, the early days of the PS4 saw a bunch of indie games launch on the service. While a great incentive to sign-up, the knock-on effect was that these indie games ended up having low sales numbers....
Check out these awesome Hylian banknotes Why the denizens of Hyrule still exchange Rupees is beyond me. Have you seen the size of those things? A single shard occupies an entire treasure chest! How could anybody fit more than one in their pocket? It’s high time that the Hylian Reserve buys up all the Rupees in the land in order to issue a much more sensible form of legal tender. Just about every country on Earth uses paper currency, and if it’s good for everyone else, it ought to be good enough for Hyrule....

Chocobo GP Chocobo Racingwas an absolutely staple ’90s game. I mean, it came at the tail-end of the ’90s, but it epitomized Square Enix’s attempt to spin off anything and everythingFinal Fantasyrelated afterVIIhit it so big. And mascot kart racers? They were ’90s comfort food. It was the perfect combination that formed a very fun little racer, and it might be coming back. Square Enix tried to resurrect it once before!...
