Oh, you can use the Oculus Rift in one spot? And you can walk around a little square with the Vive? Sega, with plans for a virtual reality shooter that lets you run around inside a warehouse, thinks that’s cute. They’re working with Australian company Zero Latency on a giant co-operative shooter which, according to…
Because users have been modding Bethesda’s games on PC forever, a functional community has evolved alongside the practice. On console? It’s the Wild West, and surprise, some people are being dicks about the finer points of mod creation and crediting. There have been numerousreports(see also: this Reddit thread) of mods—including parts of some of the…
Over the past decade, video game trailers have gone from blurry little montages bundled on magazine cover discs to a multi-million dollar industry that exists almost entirely separate from the actual games they’re representing. This post originally appeared 1/26/16. They’ve become perhaps the single most important part of video games marketing, and just like we…
Every year, around the time of E3, an exhibition called Into The Pixel is held, which celebrates the work of professional video game artists. With a panel made up of veterans from companies like Blizzard and 343 Studios, it’s a great way of recognising the best work in the field. While there’s no way to…
She’s not even in the movie, but that didn’t stop noted Warcraft nerd and cosplay afficiando Jamie Lee Curtis from snagging an invite to the Hollywood premiere of the (terrible) film adaptation.
Track: Theramin | Artist: Edward Scissortongue | Album: The Theramin EP Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
ZaziNombies—whose work we’ve featured before—has gone and built a 1:1 replica of an Overwatch weapon out of LEGO. And not some little handgun or rifle, either. He’s built Reinhardt’s Rocket Hammer.
Square Enix’s World of Final Fantasy—first shown off at last year’s E3—now has a new trailer and release date. It’ll be out on PS4 and Vita on October 25.
Gearbox’s Homeworld Remastered has been completely retooled under hood courtesy of a new patch, with everything from formations to unit stats to the UI tweaked. If you haven’t played in a while, might be worth jumping back in tomorrow when the patch goes live.
Uncharted 4 is one of the prettiest video games ever made. Here is a look at some of the art that made this possible. Below you’ll find pieces from a range of Naughty Dog’s artists, covering environments, characters, 2D, 3D, the works. Note that some of this stuff might be slightly spoilery, so if you…
The Witcher 3‘s last expansion, Blood & Wine, is not kind on Geralt’s finances, at least not initially. The cost of moving up to Grandmaster gear is steep, as are the prices on upgrades to your vineyard home. UPDATE: Seems this will only work for a save game created before the most recent patch. If…
You’ve probably won the Second World War in a video game before. Maybe as a commando, maybe as a pilot. But have you ever won the Second World War the way it was actually won? Because it was won with logistics, and…hey, wait, I promise it’s more exciting than it sounds. Hearts of Iron IV…
James Cain is a freelance sculptor and illustrator from the UK. Shame these aren’t available for sale as physical items. I’d murder for some of those Dishonored and Banner Saga busts to be sitting nice and heavy on my desk. (Note: Cain has had some of them 3D-printed, and they look awesome) You can see…
Cosplayers Drcane (who built Snowball) and his friend Jerry (Rick) have outdone themselves here with this Rick & Morty shoot. Snuffles/Snowball isn’t an outfit (there’s nobody in there), it’s more of a prop, but still. It looks awesome. The matching graffiti is also a nice touch.
It really was that easy
My copy of CSPLY EU arrived last week. It’s a hardcover book specifically about European cosplayers that was successfully Kickstarted a little while ago (though you can also buy it from a store). Its not bad! The focus is more on images than words, so there’s not much to necessarily learn about the European scene,…
Atlanta’s MomoCon was held late last month, and there was some good cosplay on show. Over 28,000 people went through the gates over four days, and below you’ll find shots of some of the best cosplayers in attendance. All photos by Mineralblu. Note that while I’ve got credit info for some cosplayers, others are missing,…
Those Overwatch characters didn’t just animate themselves. Someone had to get in there and make them move, and Blizzard’s David Gibson is one of those responsible. We featured some of Gibson’s stuff a little while ago, when he shed some light on the technical side of making the game look so buttery-smooth. Today, though, we’re…
I’m not sorry. And yes, this is going on the list
Jan Buragay is a freelance artist from The Philippines who has a knack for sketching anime-stlye mechs and starships just the way I like ‘em. You can see more of Jan’s work at his ArtStation page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save them…
