It's a Little Big Planet map, or game mode or mod or something (I don't know jack about little big planet other than you can map levels and custom games in it). It seems to be some sort of nefarious rolling pony race game.
Little Big Planet has a few levels pre loaded in by the developers but the point of the game is to make and share the craziest/best levels you can think up and make.
And people make some very good levels, like this Super Street Fighter 2 marionette game. #speakup
Epic Games Announces Plan to Hire Many of 38 Studios' Former Staff!
In an interesting turn of events, Epic Games has been looking to expand to have a new studio in Baltimore to work on new properties, but they considered it impossible at the moment due to the need for a lot of top talent all at once. Yet, now that 38 Studios has collapsed, they realized that there was some great talent there. Thus, they will be working to hire up as many former 38 Studios staffers as possible to form a new Epic Games branch in Baltimore!
How fantastic! I wish them the best of luck in hiring as many as they can!
A new era for Big Epic Games *puts sunglasses* This really makes me happy, now the wait begins to see what the Epic Games directors plan to do with this new studio (something without guns in it?) #speakup(Edit comment)
Well, since they know what all of these people are good at(a hard thing to do well when hiring new people), they'll probably put them on some kind of game like they've done before. I doubt it'll just be another Epic Game. #speakup(Edit comment)
A sequel or remake to The Stanley Parable (HL2 Mod) is in the works it seems. I know everyone is uber-excited for E3 this week, but don't this news get buried under all that considering the original's stellar reception.
People love to gush over it considering its' "artsyness", and I have a suspicion the eloquent and sinister narrator is going to play on that with his next story for Stanley.
Looks like the Pro but with the analogs and buttons/dpad swapped. The L and R look like they might be squishy, though, and I'm sure the sticks also click. #speakup(Edit comment)
Nope! Metal Gear as a series has run its course, and unless they've got something new to bring to the table (i.e. action game spin-off whose gameplay suits the main character perfectly), I'd like 'em to leave it be.
Maybe some 10+ years down the line and they feel like rebooting it or creating an entirely new stealth spin-off series set in the Metal Gear universe that's not connected to Snake, Raiden, etc. in any significant way.
Scout Rumor: This may be just rumor, but it looks as though Sega Europe is closing shop, meaning no more AAA games only digital and mobile. Its last game by Creative Assembly will be announced at E3. If this is true, then holy shit. :\
Game companies get shut down all the time when they have multiple games in progress. I'm not saying this rumor is true, just that their current projects would have no bearing on whether or not they got shut down.. either the money is there or it isn't. #speakup(Edit comment)
"I love this platform. I’m very excited about it because it gives us a path to realise some things that are more future-looking than we could if we were only on the current generation. It’s up to Nintendo to talk about their specs and I must follow them. I’ve committed myself to honouring their confidentiality." - Randy Pitchford
"It’s (Aliens: Colonial Mraines) going to look awesome! And it’s unbelievable how many things that exist in the Aliens’ franchise actually work for that controller. It’s been a real treat, quite frankly, because the controller and the features of the system enable us to do things we can’t do with the other consoles. We can always use more memory and rendering capability. I think that’s one of the most exciting things about the Wii U. Not only do you have the technology of what you can do gameplay wise but it will be one of the best looking versions of the game." - Brian Cozzens
now i know kotaku only post when rumors say its under powered, and not devs praising it, but ill post this anyways.
Yeah, Randy Pitchford is full on Team Wii U. Ubisoft seem to love the thing as well. I'm so glad there'll be some sort of prE3 conference tomorrow because I can't contain my excitement for the 'U. #speakup(Edit comment)

Looks like a PS Vita Assassin's Creed title has been announced in this month's Game Informer. Stars a female protagonist, and is set in the mid to late 1700s in New Orleans.
As long as it's better than the last portable adventure, Bloodlines, it certainly can't hurt the PS Vita. Although, judging from the opinions of us Kotaku readers, I would say that a great deal of us are, shall we say, less than enthused about this series at this point.
On the other hand, if they pull off the open world, with AI that is actually challenging, and have a decent story with something new to add to the Assassins Creed series, I'll give it a fair shake. I have the feeling though that this is going to be like the main entries in the Assassins Creed franchise; rushed, with nominal features that don't really add anything to the series.
Overall, as long as it's its own beast, this is for the better. There are tons of Assassin's Creed fans out there, and if this helps the Vita out, that's good for all of us in the long run. #speakup
I'm completely worn out on the AC series, myself. I have been hoping for a female protagonist for a while, so I MIGHT try this, but I have no real interest in it if it's rushed and lazy. #tips(Edit comment)
I should imagine it will depend on which studio is handling it.
Brotherhood and Revelations were total shite unless you were heavily invested in the lore of the series. However they were both developed by fairly peripheral Ubi teams, unlike 1 and 2. It's the same problem faced recently by the underwhealning versions of Resistance and Uncharted that were not handled by Insomniac or Naughty Dog.
2 did mark a major departure from 1, so I shall putting my faith in the original developers for 3. If that fails to live up to expectations, then I am also done with AC. #tips
If nothing else, the setting and protagonist look and sound amazing. Hopefully they make a compelling strong female protagonist, and a decent game. #speakup(Edit comment)
Sheesh, so many games. Assassin's Creed is like the Western Kingdom Hearts, but with what I assume is a less messy story (only played the first, which didn't really leave me wanting more).
AssCreed's story is heavily influenced by Dan Brown. It's just as messy as KH, if not more so because it's based strongly on bullshit conspiracy theory crap. #tips(Edit comment)
Well, it was a few years ago when Assassins Creed II had just released. There was this friend of mine who was completely crazy about the game, and he'd talk about it everyday. Around the same time, we were told we had to do a Philosophy paper- it was a group assignment and he landed in mine. He wasn't very good at Philosophy so I got a little worried. The theme assigned to us was - oh the cruelty - Philosophy in the Renaissance. "This is so great, it's so perfect because I've been playing ACII!" - he said. There was already a big red "DANGER" sign flashing in my head.
I had the best grade so I was supervising and assembling the whole thing. When he sent me his chapter, I read it immediately and then stood about 10 minutes just staring at the screen. It didn't make sense. It was full of loose facts and questionable things. Worse of all, he declared things as "facts" that even I couldn't explain if someone asked me to. There were names of famous philosophers and writers everywhere - most of them from AC - together with a list of facts about them taken partly from the info in the game. It had nothing - nothing - to do with the assignment though. Some sentences praising the authors were so biased that I cringed as hard as I could. A lot of retouching was needed.
The next day, he asked "What did you think? I actually took a lot from Assassin's Creed!" with a cheerful face. "No kidding", I thought. We handed in the paper.
But this wasn't the end of it. Surprise surprise, we also had to do an oral presentation. I told him hundreds of times "Do not mention the things you don't know how to explain. Don't go overboard" and pointed at specific examples of what not to do. He heard the opposite. Midway through his presentation, he started talking about Machiavelli. Now, Machiavelli was an author he loved and admired, but because both his father and Assassin's Creed II mentioned it (was even a semi-important character, I think). He didn't actually read anything by him. That didn't stop him from drowning him in praise, proclaming how superb and magnificent his masterpiece "The Prince" was. And then our teacher interrupted and asked "Have you ever read it?". Instant trainwreck. He was a bad liar so he didn't even try, and our teacher was pretty ruthless when it came to it. It felt like an execution in the public square. Meanwhile I was doing the biggest facepalm ever.
He was my friend so I felt bad and couldn't really be annoyed. But damn, did I feel like throwing Assassin's Creed down the toilet. #tips
Wow lol, thanks for telling the story. I enjoyed it. Too bad he got wrecked in class. I'm glad the teacher did though. That's part of learning at the college level. A little humiliation will go a long way in reforming his bad study habits. #tips(Edit comment)
Now that the sequel is announced, and seeing as how Tales of Xillia is the highest rated/fastest selling Tales games, I hope that this will help to get another Tales game, this one actually made from the beginning for a HD console, as opposed to Graces F, onto our shores.
I have to say though, that even though I'm excited for Xillia and 2, I still would have preferred a new entry, not just a sequel. Still though, seeing as how I haven't played either game, I will wait until they do get localized to pass judgement. #speakup
Tales of Loli and Generic Action Trailer Music. I'm a bit disappointed. There's something cool about the way the main character moves though. The city looks nice as well. #speakup(Edit comment)
Japanese developers are allergic to US currency. It's the only logical explanation as to why so many great games that would either make their dedicated fan base really happy or help to turn the tide of the various stigmas that plague the Japanese industry never come state side. #speakup(Edit comment)
Indeed it is, but it's still far from the seriousness I was expecting. (I was just talking about the first tune though, the trailer one) (Edit comment)

I mean with a tag line as catchy as... what was it again? "would you destroy the world to save the girl you love" or something like that, you would think i could be a tad darker. I suppose that's what draws me to JRPGs and anime, however, in that even when the story is dark as hell they seldom forget to make you smile.
To be honest, though, if the game was something like Now and Then, Here and There I'd probably wouldn't make it past the first chapter. #speakup
For the record, I actually really, really enjoy N&T,H&T, and if more shows had stories that were that great, I would be a happy Torchey.
I just want them to really get the fact out to people that "Hey, there's a new Tales game coming to the PS3," and I would love it if they even announced during Sony's conference on Monday that Xillia will be coming to the US. I mean, look at the chart;
Tales Of Graces F, is, and correct me if I'm wrong, one of the better Tales games ever released. And it is barely breaking half of a million? The problem is these publishers need to let people besides us, the guys/gals who browse Kotaku everyday, know that their games are coming out. Because Game Informer and the clerk at Gamestop sure aren't telling them.
So to be honest, until they can get it out there that they are releasing one of, if not the best Tales game ever, here in the U.S., it might be better for them to wait until they can. Just a suggestion.
There was actually a 5 foot tall cardboard display in my Game Stop for Graces. Apparently mine is the store that other stores send their unsold JRPGs to before they liquidate them because they sell where I am (imagine a whole down toll of me! Scary shit, eh?).
I hope they didn't think "Damn, the card board displays didn't work. I guess Americans don't like JRPGs." but I could so see them thinking that.
Also note that this display went up about a day before the game even launched, which is really waste because many gamers preorder so they can pay for a game bit by bit over a few months (this is actually the main reason I don't preorder from STEAM. I avoid 60 dollar lump sums where and when I can).
And, yes, suffice to say Tales of Graces F was actually really good. Most of the criticism it got was the standard JRPG hate that they get for not being like western RPGs (too much friendship, not many colors, ridiculous attacks, yadda yadda yadda) but even so it got fairly high praise even from some more harsh critics who never have anything nice to say about JRPGs.
I suppose it's not outside the realm of possibility the US will get the new game. The problem is will we get the first Xillia first. If we don't get the first Xillia it's kind of a moot point and I highly doubt we'll get a special, US double combo pack (even though the fans deserve one for the crap we put up with). #speakup

With over 45,000 signitures of 6/1/2012, definetly gonna turn some heads, thought id send a shout out over here for the kotaku community as well as a drive for this cause. I just saw this about literaly 5 minutes ago and its defintly something that needs to be known.
So the demo for this game just hit Tuesday and I just downloaded today. So far I have only played the Multiplayer, and from what I played this game is amazing. Just two different levels for the game and yet I keep coming back to it. Still haven't touched part of the campaign mode but damn, this game is fun.
The only downside is that if you have a PS3 you can download the demo from the Japanese PS Store. But the thing is that you have to make a Japanese PlayStation Network account and download it form the Japanese PlayStaion Store. The biggest upside is that you can change the menu texts and voices into English, so it won't be a hassle to anyone. I recommend anyone to try this out. Unless you have a Japanese Xbox360 then no worries to you.

Just two different levels for the game and yet I keep coming back to it. Still haven't touched part of the campaign mode but damn, this game is fun.
The only downside is that if you have a PS3 you can download the demo from the Japanese PS Store. But the thing is that you have to make a Japanese PlayStation Network account and download it form the Japanese PlayStaion Store. The biggest upside is that you can change the menu texts and voices into English, so it won't be a hassle to anyone. I recommend anyone to try this out. Unless you have a Japanese Xbox360 then no worries to you.
