Ask someone who doesn't play Fortnite what they know about the game and they're likely to mention a few things. There are all the funny emotes; no doubt they know that part. It's got that dancing banana fella--he's pretty cool. They'll probably also call it a shooting game or, if they know the term, they'll call it a battle royale game. It's true that for six years, battle royale has been the centerpiece to Fortnite, but in that time, it's also grown as a platform, with 70% of Fortnite players now also…

Readers may know me as one of Destructoid’s local Destiny heads, but right now, we need to talk about the Video Game Awards (VGA). Namely, how Cyberpunk 2077 stole a 2023 award from another game and studio. On December 7, the VGA named Cyberpunk 2077 the winner of the ceremony’s Best Ongoing Game award. This was in spite of the fact that Cyberpunk went up against actual live service titles like Apex Legends, Fortnite, Genshin Impact, and Final Fantasy XIV.  As some may remember, Cyberpunk 2077 is not an “ongoing game.”…

The psychological thriller film Leave the World Behind made its streaming release on Netflix yesterday (December 8). It first premiered at the AFI Fest on October 25 and was later released in select theatres on November 22. The film's star-studded cast includes Hollywood veteran Julia Roberts as Amanda Sandford alongside Dead Poets Society's Ethan Hawke and two-time Academy award winner actor Mahershala Ali.

Bethesda Softworks/GameStop/id Software/ZDNETNo, you're not seeing things. And it's definitely not a typo. GameStop really is offering Doom Eternal Deluxe Editionmember, and you have to choose same-day delivery. (Oh no, you get to play a cool game that much faster! The horror!) The digital code is also exclusively for the Bethesda launcher, but for 98 cents, I'd be willing to forsake Steam, too.The deluxe edition not only gets you the base game, but you'll also get a DLC season pass, an unlockable Demon Slayer…

AMD AMD new Ryzen 8040 CPUs feel like a rug pull, and that’s because they aren’t all that new. During its Advancing AI event, AMD announced that Ryzen 8040 chips are coming to laptops, and you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a new generation of processors. AMD doesn’t call them next-gen CPUs, rather referring to them as “the next step in personal AI processing.” And that’s because these aren’t next-gen CPUs. Ryzen 8040 mobile chips will replace Ryzen 7040 mobile chips, and based on that fact alone, it’s easy to…

I am one of those people who was a little confused as to why The Last of Us Part II Remastered was launching with a roguelike mode. You could argue that the nature of Part II's story and its analysis of the cyclical nature of revenge and grief lends itself to the structure of a roguelike, but the remaster's new No Return mode is devoid of the storytelling of the main game. Instead, it offers an avenue for players to reacquaint themselves with and master Part II's excellent combat mechanics. That's not…
