Peter Moore, lately of Electronic Arts but just as well-known for previous executive roles with Sega and Xbox, will be taking up a new job in June, as chief executive officer of Liverpool FC. It’s a dream job for the Liverpool-born Moore, who as you can see below is an absolute LFC fanatic. He’ll start…
Sean Spicer wasn’t there this year, mercifully, but there were still a lot more conventional things of note to be found at this year’s Katsucon. Namely, a ton of A++++ cosplay from folks from not only across the United States, but around the world While we’ve already seen a bit of Katsucon, there are around…
Track: Mechanica | Artist: Koloto | Album: Mechanica Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to at the moment.
The projectwas first shown off last year, but now there’s a proper trailer (and release details) for the anime adaptation of Tsutomu Nihei’s manga masterpiece Blame! As discussed, Blame! is my favourite manga of all time, because it’s weird and lonely and fascinating and has some of the most breath-taking art you’ll ever see in…
In an interview published on Collider on Saturday, writer Joe Carnahan talks a little about his work on the Uncharted movie, which he thinks series creators Naughty Dog might be “happy with”. About that, Joe… Here’sthe relevant part from the interview, which he admittedly tempers with some Trumpian qualifications: I’m very happy with the script,…
Katsucon, the first big cosplay show of 2017, was held last week, and amongst all the other cool stuff on display was a collection of Overwatch cosplayers wearing, well, not very much at all. They were part of a group effort known as Underwatch, which was the brainchild of cosplay superstar Stella Chuu. Inspired by…
Manilyn Toledana is an artist from The Philippines. That’s not Geralt, but if you squint hard enough, you can imagine a very welcome cameo in Cyberpunk 2077 You can see more of Manilyn’s work at her ArtStation page To see the images in their native resolution, click on the “expand” button in the top-left corner.…
We wrote about The Last Night back in 2014, when it was a very small but good-looking cyberpunk game. Now, in 2017, it’s back, and is looking incredible Odd Tales have been working on the “proper” version of the game for three years now, and are trying to really nail the kind of cinematic platforming…
Civilization VI has had a strong launch, but there’s been one thing holding it back lately: Steam Workshop support didn’t ship alongside the game in October, which means the modding scene hasn’t really taken off. It will now, because the game’s “Australian Summer 2017″ updateis now live. Alongside multiplayer teams (also part of the update),…
Streaming service Twitch and Stoic, creators of The Banner Saga, have a very weird deal going on right now where if you play either of the turn-based strategy games (which are very good), Stoic will get paid. Between Feb 23-28, Twitch Prime subscribers can download the original Banner Saga via Twitch for free. Starting March…
Last year, following the release of its 2.2 patch, Elite: Dangerous players started noticing something weird: some of the game’s planets, normally detailed and full of alien colour, had started looking a little more drab. While ice planets were unaffected, worlds with high metal content had turned beige everywhere you looked, and even some rocky…
Blizzard’s own Overwatch league is coming in Q3 2017, with Nate Nanzer telling Korean media some of the first details on the competition.
GKR: Heavy Hitters, a new board game by Weta set in an anime-ish post-apocalyptic world full of giant mechs, looks great! Especially when you get to take a close look at the art that went into the game’s fantastic miniatures. Weta have shared a ton of art from development of the game’s mechs/factions, and it’s…
Welcome to Draymond Green’s Shut Up And Slam Jam Karate Basketball, a basketball game where you must score, but also kick dudes in the figs. Made for Ludum Dare 37 late last year (but only released online earlier this week), it supports four players in local multiplayer, and is not screwing about with the combat…
Cards Against Humanity hasa special 14-card pack all about Mass Effect that’s now available for $1. I only point this out because the url is totallyfuckablealiens.com. Oh, and because the FAQ is wonderful
Let us all close our eyes and imagine, that as part of Breath of the Wild’s marketing campaign, Nintendo had thought to make an anime trailer for some Lon Lon Milk. Now, open them and watch the clip anyway, because Channy & Kimberly were smart enough to make it for us.
I don’t normally like “Game is like Game” comparisons, but when you can say “Ooblets is like Harvest Moon and Pokemon and Animal Crossing”, it really helps get a point across. Point being this looks great We’ve been quietly tracking its progress for a while now, so it’s nice to see that Double Fine has…
GKR: Heavy Hitters is a new board game up on Kickstarter. If you like robots and turn-based combat it might be worth a look, if only for the incredibly cool design of the game’s miniatures. God, they are so good. And with good reason! GKR is the work of Weta, the creative studio behind movies…
So, turns out Horizon: Zero Dawn, despite its stupid name, is a good video game. A very good video game. Which means we can expect 2017 to be a year full of Horizon: Zero Dawn cosplay. Fine by me. The game’s star, Aloy, looks great, with her mix of ancient hunting gear, sci-fi relics and…
Sure, sometimes you can get Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale to sit still long enough to take photos for FIFA promos, but other times you can’t, and have to build eerily realistic 3D models of them instead. These images, done by Korean artist Byungmoon Kang, are all for FIFA Online, and as you can probably…
