Have a PS4? Never played classic adventure platformer Another World? You can change that starting next week when Eric Chahi’s beloved 1991 title hits Sony’s latest console
Super Mario Bros. came out almost thirty years ago. You’d think that every glitch and exploit in one of the most popular video games of all time would have been found already. Nope. It looks like someone just found a new one. As described in a post on old-games enthusiast site RetroCollect, this complicated glitch—which…
Now that the inevitable has happened and versions of Grand Theft Auto V for PS4, PC and Xbox One have been announced, it’s time to discuss what’s on everybody’s minds: how’s the 2014 version going to look? Pretty good if the trailers are any indication. Digital Foundry spliced together footage from last year’s GTA V…
Remember how stunning Watch Dogs looked when Ubisoft unveiled it two years ago? When the game came out last month, many players said that the visuals for the open-world game didn’t live up to that original teaser. But now an intrepid modder has found hidden files that improve the way the game looks, right there…
The alpha test phase of Bungie’s ambitious new sci-fi shooter was supposed to end last night, somewhere around 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. It didn’t. That means that, yes, you can still play Destiny right now. That’s a reason to dance, right? In a tweet early Monday morning, the studio that created Halo announced that it…
The game that got me and a lot of other people the most hyped this E3 is getting built by less than a dozen people. And, to my mind, No Man’s Sky has totally screwed with the idea of what it means to be a Big Game. Assassin’s Creed Unity is being made by hundreds…
One of the big surprises at this week’s Sony E3 press conference was the announcement that PlayStation console owners would be able to share Far Cry 4 for multiplayer co-op with friends who don’t own the game. How’s it’s going to work? Well, for starters, it sounds like you’re going to need a lot of…
Like its predecessors, Far Cry 4 will let you get your kill on in a quiet and stealthy fashion. But who wants to do that when you can ride an elephant, smash through gates and bust shotgun shells at fools? The video above from PlayStation Access showcases two very different approaches to playing through a…
The super-popular criminal heist game is making its way to Microsoft and Sony’s newest video game consoles. During a livestream session on Twitch showing off the upcoming Big Bank expansion, members of the Overkill developer studio confirmed an earlier tweet that said that the team-based co-op shooter would be going next-gen. No time frame was…
Nintendo’s a company that’s made its fortunes on Mario, a character with incredible jumping abilities. But, in the newest spin-off from the Super Mario series, you control a character with no hops whatsoever. Turns out that’s a good thing. Kotaku‘s Jason Schreier takes Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for a spin in the video above. The…
Nintendo makes fun characters who do fun things in, for the most part, fun games. The House of Mario is all about the fun. But streaming yourself having fun playing a Wii U game? That is not fun, according to Nintendo president Reggie Fils-Aime. In an interview with Polygon, Fils-Aime explained why livestreaming services like…
Who’s dropping jewels? It’s Mega Sableye, the newest Mega Evolution that will be showing up in the Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire remakes coming out this fall.
News that Ubisoft scuttled plans for including female playable characters in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Unity was met by scorn and derision by many video game commentators last night. Now, Kotaku has an official statement from Ubisoft on the controversy. The reasoning behind the decision—that it would’ve been too expensive to animate female character models—felt…
The most exciting part of yesterday’s Nintendo E3 presentations? Not the Reggie vs. Iwata live-action fight, nor the Palutena or Pac-Man reveals. It was the super-cool anime-styled cartoon near the end of the broadcast. Everyone watching it probably thought the same thing at the same time: “Why doesn’t this thing actually exist?” The cartoon clip…
Thongs. Booze. Many, many stabbings. Drum solos. How the hell is this game on the Wii U? When news broke earlier today that over-the-top shooter Devil’s Third would be coming out for the Wii U and only the Wii U, it was accompanied by a chunk of livestreamed gameplay. While that was nice, it didn’t…
The man responsible for Mario came to E3 with a fistful of new game prototypes to show. One’s a new entry in the fan-favorite Star Fox franchise. The others? They’re kind of goofy but clever, just as you’d expect from Miyamoto-san. In the video—which is more than a half-hour long—Mr. Miyamoto talks as members of…
Nintendo surprised fans by promoting one of Mario’s sidekicks to a starring role this morning. Let’s take a look at the Mushroom Kingdom’s newest hero, shall we? Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker takes one of the playable characters from Super Mario 3D World and puts him square in the spotlight. Nintendo streamed a few levels of…
Just announced on IGN‘s E3 livestream, Devil’s Third will be showing up only on Nintendo’s home console. The unlikely pairing of Tomonobu Itagaki’s blood-and-guts fetish with Nintendo’s traditionally family-friendly philosophy is a surprise but the deal does lend credence to earlier statements that the game was close to done
Sony’s press conference came and went last night, filled with pregnant pauses. None of those silences gave birth to any news about The Last Guardian, making it five years of barely suppressed longing. High time, then, for me to think about where I’m going to put this game in my heart, whenever it comes out.…
Here’s a glimpse at the next installment in the legendary first-person shooter series. The clip revealed today doesn’t show much of the long-brewing shooter and is intended to tease folks with just a little taste of sci-fi demonic fusion until Bethesda’s QuakeCon event later this year. We’ll see if things are back on track for…
