Today at Gamescom, instead of showing off actual new gameplay footage from Metal Gear Solid V, director Hideo Kojima came out and gave us this: Hahahahahahaha. Hideo Kojima, you are the best.
Here is yet another look at Rime, the Wind Waker-esque action/adventure game that was announced for PS4 last year. Goddamn, I say. Goddamn. Forget Uncharted and The Order: this is the prettiest game on the PlayStation 4. BY FAR.
Announced today at Gamescom: Sony has sold—sold, not shipped—10 million PlayStation 4s to gamers around the world. Nice round number. Looks nice on the page. 10 million.
Gamescom continues this afternoon, as Sony takes the stage to talk all things PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. Will we see some Uncharted 4? Maybe a big exclusive to compete with this morning’s Tomb Raider bombshell? ONLY TIME WILL TELL. Sony’s conference starts at 1pm Eastern. We’ve got the stream running for you right here,…
This morning’s biggest Gamescom news was that Rise of the Tomb Raider, the next big console installment in Lara Croft’s adventures, will be an Xbox exclusive. And people are pissed. Well, to be honest, it’s not really clear whether Rise of the Tomb Raider is a permanent Xbox exclusive. Game publishers like Microsoft and Sony…
New Rollercoaster Tycoon? Nope: this is ScreamRide, a newly-announced Rollercoaster Tycoon-like-game for Xbox One and 360, shown off at Microsoft’s Gamescom conference in Germany today. This one will be out in the spring, Microsoft says. “Make all your screams come true” is a pretty solid tagline.
UPDATE (8/13): Turns out Microsoft was just being misleading—Rise of the Tomb Raider is a timed exclusive. It’ll come to other platforms later. Original story follows: Wow! Microsoft just announced that Rise of the Tomb Raider, announced earlier this year at E3, will be an Xbox exclusive out holiday 2015. Rise of the Tomb Raider,…
Are you ready for some Xbox news? Microsoft’s got their top people in Germany today for the Gamescom trade show, and they’re starting things off with a press conference that you can watch here. What are we going to see today? Quantum Break? Some Halo 5? Sunset Overdrive? Other Xbox-y news nuggets? Microsoft’s presentation starts…
Proving the theory that anyone will sue anyone for anything, a legal firm filed a class-action lawsuit for $5 million against Sony yesterday because the multiplayer mode in PS4 game Killzone: Shadowfall doesn’t run at a “native” resolution of 1080p. Yep, this is for real. The suit, which you can read below, alleges that Sony…
Here are five more stories of people involved in the painful job cuts that happen in the games business all the time. Four from people who were fired. One from someone who did the firing. We urge you to read their accounts. For the past few months we’ve taken a close look at layoffs in…
A new Amazon listing may have ruined a Square Enix surprise announcement that the open-world game Sleeping Dogs will come to PS4 and Xbox One this October. Amazon’s got it at $60. October 14. Seems like this version includes all the DLC, too. We’ve reached out to Square for comment and will update if/when they…
DARGON Quest IV. Not a good sign. Not a good sign at all. Dargon Quest IV is pretty good, BTW, and I imagine it’ll be worth checking out when it does hit iTunes in North America, which should be soon. (It launched in New Zealand today.) Hopefully Dargon Quest VII 3DS comes to the U.S.…
Yet another game won’t be making it this fall—publisher 2K Games has delayed their co-op shooter Evolve to February of next year, their parent company Take-Two announced in a financial statement today. Evolve will now be out on February 10, 2015 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. “We primarily decided that the title deserves and…
Hope you like CGI! Straight outta Ubisoft’s kitchen, here’s the first trailer for Assassin’s Creed Rogue, which is now officially official and will be out on November 11 for last-gen platforms. Rogue, which leaked earlier today, was codenamed Comet earlier this year. It will be one of two Assassin’s Creed games released this fall, and…

The new initiative, which will launch on August 18, will simplify GameStop’s trade-in structure, reducing the complexity of what has become an unnecessarily obtuse service. No longer will you have…
Imagine, if you will, a world where Pokémon isn’t just something you can buy for $40 or so. Imagine Nintendo’s collectible critter game as… free-to-play Redditor ktrcoyote has envisioned a world where Pokémon is a free-to-play game for iPhones, and the results are hilarious. Pokémon: All The Bravest has a nice ring to it, don’t…
Thailand, which has been ruled by a military dictatorship for the past few months, has banned the video game Tropico 5 from appearing in stores, saying “some contents of the game are not appropriate for the current situation,” according to publisher Kalypso Media. Tropico 5, of course, is a video game in which you can…

Adelman, an outspoken personality known well in the indie community, spent nine years handling outreach and support for independent developers on Nintendo platforms. His…
Welcome to the Summer of Old JRPGs, where we’re playing classic role-playing games and talking about them every week. Check out the full schedule here I have a confession to make: I didn’t play SaGa Frontier this week. I know, I know. I’m terrible. But over the past couple of weeks I’ve been playing through…
