Namco Bandai’s chief fighting game producer, Katsuhiro Harada, has had enough of the fans. After drowning in requests to revive characters and use original voice actors inthe newTekken, the developertook to Twitterand launched a full-scale assault on gamers. That probably won’t help. “I believe that, before whining and complaining about everything, you need practice at taking a step back and analyzing things objectively. And also at being an adult,” said Harada....

Lady Luck has a way of intervening at the most crucial moments, lending that extra hand that helps us through the tough times. On occasion, even developers are able to bask in her warming glow… just askMark Randel, president of Terminal Reality. While his team was nearly nine months into producing alicensedGhostbustersgame of their own (and looking to impress some suits with cash),along comes Zootfly to the rescue: “What Zootfly did for us, inadvertently, is help sell the concept....

I will never, ever have to describe Destructoid with words, because this video will always do a better job of explaining absolutely everything. On this fine President’s Day, Jim offered his opinion on the recent BioWare controversies, Jonathan Ross got to check outGuild Wars 2, the 3DS sales are setting records and so many more exciting things happened on 21-07-2025.

[Every Friday, Destructoid will pose topical a question to the community. Answer it if you want!] One of the biggest news items this week was the confirmation thatBatman: Arkham Citywould feature a unique spin on the “online pass” phenomenon — locking the game’s four Catwoman stages behind a code that could only be redeemed online. My thoughts on regular online passesare clear enough, but this is a new thing entirely....

Nintendo knows My morning was made thanks toSuper Mario Maker. Specifically, a nod to Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé. Browsing online through a list of user-made levels, I discovered one curiously titled “My Body is Ready.” As if I’d ever choose anything else. The whole course was centered on turning Mario into an 8-bit Wii Fit Trainer (which will sadly require the amiibo in the full version) using question-mark mushrooms....

May 15th. Judgement day. The day that nearly every PC gamer will shun their family, friends, and workmates to plant themselves behind their glowing screen of goodness to destroy the Prince of Darkness one more time. But not everyone is going to be partaking in this bloody good time, namely the developers ofTorchlight 2, who still need to finish and ship their game. Runic Games’ Max Schaefer recently told Joystiq that the sequel to their runaway 2009 hit will “ideally” release about a month afterDiablo III, and that he wants to be the “inexpensive” alternative to Blizzard’s behemoth....

The title has been “refocused” as an “immersive single player and online multiplayer experience with robust digital content, and engaging community features.” It sounds as if they’re making the best of abad situation, and releasing something instead of nothing at all. THQ had previously been hoping to find a business partner forDark Millennium, but president and CEO Brian Farrell says that “changing market dynamics and the additional investment required to complete the game as an MMO” makes this move the “right direction....
