Quite a bit. He’s one of the main characters of Chapter 2, which covers the development of Uncharted 4. (Each chapter covers a different game.) And if you read the book, this news shouldn’t be shocking. He was burnt out really badly by that game. Read more

He is quite nice. When I spoke to him last year (I think at E3) the first thing he said was that he hoped everything was OK at Kotaku. (You may recall that last summer was, uh, a dramatic time for our company.)  Read more

The REAL problem is that the price of games has held steady at $60 despite inflation and the rising cost of game development. $60 is pretty expensive to begin with, so it’s hard to imagine that changing, but this is unsustainable! Read more

I meant to mention this on the show but didn’t: Benjen couldn’t run off with Jon, because he can’t go below the wall. He said as much to Bran last season. For some reason everyone has forgotten about this! Read more

I have been saying for a while now that if the Xbox team really wanted to make a splash, they’d have made a living room PC and used their brand to succeed where Valve failed. The Xbox One X seems so unappealing to me. Unless third-party publishers are going to start releasing new games at 60FPS on Xbox One X (they’re Read more
