Iron Harvest, the upcoming RTS based on Jakub Rozalski’s art (that’s also seen in Scythe, a very good board game), is now up on Kickstarter. It looks like Company of Heroes, only with diesel-powered mechs.

Here’s Red Dead Redemption Kinda Running On A PC

The last time we checked in on RPCS3, the preeminent PS3 emulator for the PC, it was running Uncharted, Dark Souls and Persona 5. It’s now making progress on much more important matters. Work on the emulator continues, and the team’s latest video showcasing improvements focuses on (among other things) Skate 3, Yakuza 4 and…

Oregon’s New Tourism Ad Is Basically A Studio Ghibli Movie

Amazing. Until this point, the only things tempting me to Oregon were seeing a Timbers game live, baking something British with Kirk Hamilton and the fact it’s the name of one of the best Clutch songs That was before I knew the state was actually a Miyazaki fever dream. There’s a whole website of this…

Westworld’s Video Game Looks A Lot Like Fallout Shelter

There’s a Westworld video game coming, and while a PC management sim or quick-and-dirty console shooter may seem like the obvious adaptation options, Warner Bros. is taking a more mobile approach. That’s the official trailer, but since it doesn’t show you much, here’s some gameplay captured by Android Gameplay Weekly: So, yeah, Fallout Shelter. Only…

Yes, Give Mercy Two Guns

I used to main Mercy. Now I don’t even play Overwatch. Partly because the growing obsession with the game’s meta among friends was poison to my casual Overwatch habits, but also because Mercy only had one gun. As a Battle Mercy guy, healing always came secondary to the accuracy and range of her pistol, and…

Do Not Call Yourself ‘Fuck,’ Spider-Man Doesn’t Like It

As long as there have been video games that let you enter text, there have been people using rude words. Many just let you use them, others will block them, but Spider-Man on the PS1 did something a bit different. At the player name entry screen, it would detect naughty words and as voice actor…

Fortnite Is Coming To Mobile, Will Support Cross-Platform Play

Epic just announced that Fortnite: Battle Royale is coming to Android and iOS. It’s not a weird conversion, or downsized experience either. Epic says “Fortnite is the same 100-player game you know from PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac. Same gameplay, same map, same content, same weekly updates.” There’s even talk of letting mobile…

Zarya Cosplay Flexes Some Muscles

On the left is Zarya, hero of the Overwatch universe. On the right, regular human Mina Petrovic with one of the best pieces of Zarya cosplay we’ve ever seen. The suit is amazing! The hair is also very well done, with a lot more work being done that just wearing a wig or dying her…

Behold, Japan’s Antique Gaming Chairs

Today, the term “gaming chairs” is synonymous with those gaudy padded monstrosities you see in the background of a Twitch video. But in the late 80s/early 90s, a Japanese company had a much simpler idea. These are Iron Craft’s efforts, which consisted of taking a rather uncomfortable-looking stool and sticking a controller at the front…

All The Witcher’s Witches

This mass cosplay shoot was put together by the very talented Milligan Vick, and features ten members of The Lodge of Sorceresses. You could argue it’s not quite everyone, since Yenn isn’t there, but a) it’s not like she was a willing participant and b) I think we’ve had enough amazing Yenn cosplay already, thanks,…

New Board Game Looks Very Darkest Dungeon

This is Brutality, an upcoming board game that pits two teams against each other in a medieval brawler. It’s giving off some very strong Darkest Dungeon vibes, if that’s your thing. Not in how it plays, necessarily, though it does involve teams of warriors doing turn-based battle. In Brutality (2-4 players), there are two sides…

Oh, The Elder Scrolls Are Real Now

Volpin Props were commissioned by Bethesda late last year to build two replicas of the Elder Scrolls for a competition. The end result was something so nice you could base an entire fantasy role-playing series around them. The build quality is insane; it uses goatskin leather on the handles, has epoxy and amethyst gemstones and…

Metroid, Redesigned

Concept artist Ian Baker has been working on something on the side for a little while now: a personal redesign of the Metroid universe, focusing mostly on Samus but also touching on a few bad guys as well. The look is a lot more organic, and I am very into it. I love how Samus’…

All Hail Queen Zelda

It’s been 12 months since Holly Wolf floored us with her Zelda cosplay from Breath of the Wild. She now returns as the same character, only now with a more regal take. This is Zelda as she’d appear were she Queen of Hyrule, not Princess Trapped In Ghost Realm Who Should have Been Playable In…

Fan Creates Beautiful Fire Emblem Board Game

Fire Emblem Heroes is a successful money sink/mobile video game for Nintendo. It’s not available as an official board game, though, which is where fan Brother Ming decided to step in.
