Here’s a driver from Evolve Stunting, ready to make a jump off a ramp and maybe do a few spins and oh he’s got company. If the video below doesn’t start at the right point, we’re looking for 1:54 in particular (though really, as with most of this crew’s videos, the whole thing is excellent).
This Dark Souls cosplay by Cosarmor & Props won top prize at the Emerald City Comic Con earlier this month with this Dragon Slayer Ornstein ensemble, and for good reason: it’s practically an actual suit of armour. Cosarmor tells me the suit “is 100% scratch built using primarily heat-formed expanded PVC (Sintra/Komatex), and most of…
The cosplay hit of 2017 is easily Nier Automata’s 2B, who has been everywhere this year This effort from fenixfatalist is easily one of the best I’ve seen, though.
Track: S950 | Artist: Gold Panda | Album: Half of Where You Live Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.
Back in 2015, we named this shot of Feinobi as Borderlands’ Handsome Jack as one of the best pieces of cosplay for the year. It’s now 2017, and he’s finally gotten around to having a proper shoot done of the outfit. What’s more, he’s now joined by his girlfriend Mary, cosplaying as Handsome Jack’s daughter…
Where there’s a hardware flaw, there’s a cottage industry to take advantage of it, and the Switch dock’s propensity to scratch console screens is no different. There’s still no confirmation if the scratches are being caused by sloppy owners or the odd bent dock, but whatever, if you’re concerned that a cheap piece of plastic…
Growing up in Australia in the 80s/90s, I have a very weird emotional attachment to these old retailer catalogues, because in the days before the internet—or even reliable games mags—they were the only real way to get info on what games were coming out and, more importantly, when Via Kotaku Australia, here’s a back catalogue…
If there is any beauty to be found in Fallout 4’s post-apocalyptic landscapes, leave it to Sir David Attenborough to try and find it.
GamerCon, an attempt to run a professional games show in Ireland (other shows are amateur efforts), opened for the first time over the weekend. It did not go well.

Here is a note Allie’s daughter brought home from her after school care, after she used the gravest insult of all: calling another kid a “Hanzo Main”. The present might be toast, but the future is looking OK.
This is not an official peripheral—it’s a custom 3D model by The Engineer—but it’ll still be a useful add-on for your Nintendo Switch when the inevitable Punch-Out game is released. Or if you’re the type whose 1-2 Switch parties get rowdy. You can buy one and get it 3D-printed here.
Demos have been gone so long there will be younger readers who never really got comfy with them in the first place, but a some news from big PC publishers this week shows that the oldest (and maybe best) way of selling a video game is making a comeback. OK, so demos never entirely disappeared—and…
Karakteris a German studio who have done a lot of design work on Game of Thrones over the years. So when it came time for Horizon Zero Dawn to be populated with gruff and furry-clothed people, Guerrilla knew exactly where to turn. To be clear, Karakter didn’t conceptualize the entire game; Guerilla has its own…

And the first rule is that we’re all going to talk about it. Thunderhosshas been putting in work pitting Horizon Zero Dawn’s robot dinosaurs against each other in deadly combat, filming them as an innocent bystander (after overriding one of them to make it an “enemy”) then providing commentary over the top. It seems like…
PAX East went down in Boston over the weekend, and where there are crowds playing video games, there are cool people wearing cool costumes. Photographer Dave Yang was there taking shots from the show floor, and was kind enough to share some of the photos he took. If you know/are any of the cosplayers below,…
