Battlefield 1 Trailer Remade With Beta Glitches

Earlier this month, we saw a remake of the Battlefield 1 trailer that was very professional. This collection of beta glitches and bugs, set to the original trailer’s score and sound effects, is anything but.

That Time Space Ghost Gave Peter Molyneux Shit At E3

Thanks to Frank Cifaldi for pointing this out: there’s an archive online of a series of videos made for Gametap (ask your parents), in which Adult Swim’s Space Ghost interviews a bunch of people at E3, like Peter Molyneux, Bethesda’s Todd Howard and Peter Moore. Howard’s “we make power fantasies for adolescent males” might be…

Today in weird video game casting: Matt Walsh (Veep, The Hangover) as a very serious college basketball coach in NBA 2K17’s MyCareer mode.

Have Mercy, Overwatch Cosplay

While there is no shortage of folks cosplaying as Mercy’s default outfit, Hanehere has opted for her more devilish appearance, and done one…hell of a job. Sorry.

Disney vs Capcom

Come on, relevant licensing departments. If Square can make Kingdom Hearts, surely Capcom can kick some ass with a fighting game crossover. Cosplay by Azulette, photo by Peter Muñoz

Indie Studio Making Its Own Titanfall

Ascend is what happens when a small team plays Titanfall, likes what they see then decide to go and (try) make something better. It’s a sci-fi multiplayer shooter, you can run on the walls and you can call down a mech (well, an exo-suit here) to climb into and really wreck some shit. So far…

When Your Cosplay Is Built To Protect You From Superheroes

It’s one thing to look like DC villain Deathstroke, it’s another to build your cosplay outfit so that it could actually protect you from Batman punching you in the head. Or…some guy smacking you around with a piece of timber. And an axe. This outfit/helmet is by Friggin Boom Toys, who shot the video below…

Konami’s Latest PC Port Is Terrible

What is going on here. The PC versions of multiplatform games are supposed to look better, not worse. As you may remember from last year, Konami’s big sports series Pro Evolution Soccer now runs on the Fox Engine. As you may also remember from last year, for reasons unknown, the PC version of PES 2016…

Rise From Your Grave, 90s Shooter

The logo, the guitars, the call-outs, the shotguns, the gibs…DUSK is the 90s not as they were, but as our trigger finger remembers them. It’s got both a singleplayer campaign, an “endless survival mode” and “1 v 1 arena multiplayer”. Again, very 90s. It’ll be out next year.

Shut Down Game Of Thrones Cosplay

Never Change, Yakuza

Yes, that is Beat Takeshithrowing a baby. Yakuza 6 cannot come soon enough. It’s from a trailer that Sega screened/streamed for the game at TGS yesterday, which has all the gravelly voice acting and head-punching you could ever need.

The Good News: You Can Now Change Your Blizzard BattleTag

The bad news: it’s gonna cost you $10 in cash money. Yes, despite many other online services allowing for free and easy name changes, Blizzard have announced today that they’re only going to bother with the latter. Anyone stuck with a BattleTag they came up with when they were 12/drunk and wants a change can…

See The World, Steal Their Shit

There are a lot of games that let you play as Indiana Jones. The Curious Expedition would rather you play as Allan Quatermain. While the game has been available on Steam for a while now, courtesy of Early Access, it hit v1.0 a few weeks ago, so I’ve been playing it to check out a…
