Following allegations of unfair working conditions andrumors of bankruptcy, it’s been reported thatL.A. Noiredeveloper Team Bondi has sold its assets and intellectual property to KMM, with Bondi employees given the choice of taking a job with the company or enjoying a severance package. There’s no official announcement yet, but all the gossip conspires to paint Team Bondi as a studio that’s all but finished. It’s astounding how a studio can go from creating one of the most critically and commercially new IPs of the year to this....

Destiny 2’ssummer seasonal event, Solstice, is back, and it’s largely a dud outside of some cosmetic items. The most exciting cosmetics that you can pick up are paid, unsurprisingly, meaning you have to fork over some real-world money for them, including a silly new beachgoing armor set for each class. But honestly, the paid cosmetics are all pretty awesome, and the best part of the playable event for me. The two standouts are a new vehicle and a Ghost Shell....

Greetings, travelers! In case you missed it, The Destructoid Show went live today and it was totally nuts.

Sony talks prototype controllers On the surface, the DualShock 4 we’re familiar withmay not appearradically different from its predecessor, but that’s only where designers ended up. Along the way, the PlayStation 4 controller took some strange forms. “At the very start, we were thinking of drastically changing the controller,” Sony Computer Entertainment’s Toshimasa Aoki toldGamesBeat. “We tried out new devices, changing the form factor. We’d start from there and then attempt to talk to the game teams and tweak toward what the best form would be to have for those new devices....

That’s a new one Just last week, Bethesda sentout a letter to fans warningabout potential bugs in theFallout 76beta. Now that it is available on PC and PS4, though, an extremely odd one has cropped up. For players on PC, clicking any button in the game’s launcher will actually delete the entire game and necessitate a redownload. A Tweetwas put out this afternoon warning all players on PC to not click any buttons in the client “for the time being....

Also, a new trailer It’s hard to believe thatNaruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4isn’t out yet — I could have sworn it was set to come out months ago.

Yara mean one Mr. Castillo I have watched theFar Cry 6“Pull the pin but hold the handle” grenade trailer a few times now, and I am confident stating that I’m officially keyed up for this game.Far Cryis a series that goes as its villains do, and Giancarlo Esposito has the chops to be an all-timer. Hell, he already does it on TV. But there’s a lot more to be excited about and these screenshots highlight it all....

Bethesda released a new trailer forFallout 4, showing off the game’s perk and leveling systems. Fallout 4uses the long-standing SPECIAL system in a very different way to previous games. Before, it was like the attribute system inDungeon & Dragons, where you could use it to specialise your character in a way slightly more permanent than the skills system. For example, if you wanted to play as a brutish brawler inFallout 3, you would choose at the start of the game to have high strength and endurance....

It’s been an emotional journey filled with ups and downs, laughter and tears. Switch the game off, go outside, and soak in the real-life sunshine for a moment....

Platformer plunder Yooka-Layleejust released today and that means anyone who’s playing it has a monumental task ahead of them. The progress screen lists a total of 1,202 collectibles and coming across them all is daunting. I should know,I took the time to find each and every one. But, the progress screen omits five items: The secret pirate treasures. Actually,Yooka-Layleemakes no mention of these skulls. The only place they’re listed is in the Achievements/Trophies but the descriptions are hidden until you unlock them....
