It’s OK. A cup of coffee and grumble about local sports teams will get you moving again. While there’s no clear idea of where exactly this image originated from (let me know below if you do!), there’s discussion in thisReddit post that it’s either “a ragdoll where the arms and legs have a lot of…
I’ve never actually seen Kill la Kill, but I have seen its cosplay. It’s a show about skin, suspenders and a giant sword, right? That sword is here now, in the real world, and was built by Harrison Krix. It’s an interesting design, both to look at and to have to build, because it’s technically…
Felix Mack works at Nightjar, a studio that specialises in motion graphics. You know the animation/footage that plays behind an artist when they’re on stage? Or the menus on a DVD? Or the credits sequence for a video game? Yeah, they do that Felix in particular did the end sequence for Sunset Overdrive, which was…
If you’ve ever wondered/worried how a more modern Assassin’s Creed game would work, with all our fancy weapons and computers and vehicles, don’t sweat it. Even in the 21st-century, there’s a place for an Assassin and his craft: inside the ring. Nice to see the spirit of Hoodslamis spreading (this clip is from England, at…
Jem cosplay! And not just any Jem cosplay, Misfits cosplay! Take a bow, all involved. Credits: Pizzazz costume worn & made by by Mostflogged Clash costume made & worn by Love-Joker Roxy costume made & worn by 06TATTO Jetta costume made & worn by JK cosplay @ FB Stormer costume worn by takisiski Photography by…
Faust & Company specialise in masks, especially ones made out of neoprene, one of cosplay’s best friends. This one is called “Dragon Skull”, but that’s just for copyright reasons: it’s really just a nice and adult way for you to dress like a Pokémon. It’s a little more “realistic” than Cubone’s version, but then, Cubone…
For years now, a team called The Zelda Project have been working towards recreating as much of Ocarina of Time as they can, through both cosplay and film. We’ve seentheir cosplay before, but they’ve finally got the cash together to make a start on the film part. Teaming up with Player Piano, they’ve released this…
Hey, a new Rollercoaster Tycoon game got shown off properly for the first time today! Remember Rollercoaster Tycoon, and how good it was 10, 15 years ago? Keep remembering, because this one looks like hell. I mean that in the most literal sense. For all I know this could be the most enjoyable Rollercoaster Tycoon…
The Game Developers Choice Awards were held earlier tonight, and the winners have been announced. Leading the charge with the “Game of the Year” was a surprising winner in Shadow of Mordor, but there were other prizes handed out as well. Remember, the GDC Choice Awards are pretty great. Unlike other gaming awards, which sway…
Just like its Steam Machine idea, Valve is teaming up with multiple hardware companies to release virtual reality systems. One of the firstis this one, the Vive from HTC. This video gives you a quick tour of all the Vive’s gear, including its two “paddle” controllers. I hope you’re ready to answer lots of phone…
SimCity was a disaster. Cities XXL was a scam. Cities: Skylines must be thinking, hey, hopefully third time’s a charm. Out next week, it’s a city-building game that’s looking to get things right by, well, not doing anything wrong. It has big city plots with plenty of customisation and modding options, and looks pretty nice…
Some people who make (or made) video games are dirt poor. Others, however, could start campfires using $100 bills. In this post, we’re looking at the latter. Forbes has released their 2015 list of the richest people on Earth, and while Bill Gates is back at #1 (with a net worth of $79.2 billion), we’re…
The Maxis that you knew, the studio that released SimCity and invented The Sims, is no more. The SimCity brand might live on, and the Maxis brand might live on elsewhere, but they’ll survive only as brands, things EA will invoke to sell things. This is a very sad thing, but let’s try and remember…
Track: Survival Tactics | Album: 1999 | Artist: Joey Bada$$ & Capital STEEZ Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
Nvidia announced a new Shield device at GDC today. Gizmodo spent some time with it, while we spent some time watching one of the worst press conferences in living memory Contact the author at [email protected]
Griffon Ramsey, who is very handy with a chainsaw, has made this video showing her work that takes a giant hunk of timber and, using a bunch of power tools, carves it into a mask from Zelda. If this is how much work goes into making ONE of these things, I suddenly have a new-found…
There’s a space game called Buzz Aldrin’s Space Program Manager. Aside from endorsing the game, the space pioneer himself has actually helped out on development as a consultant. You’d think that would be good enough for Apple to approve the game, but hahaha, no. Pocket Tactics reports that the game has had its submission to…
Anna Nilsson, from Swedish site Svampriket, has some ideas on what some of the “sexier” female fighting game characters should look like. Mostly, this involves putting some damn pants on. Nilsson’s redesigns take two things into account: she’s toned down the more, ahem, exaggerated aspects of their physical design, and made their outfits more practical.…
I’m very much into the premiseof Kingdom Come Deliverance, which is a medieval RPG that’s all about history. No monsters, no magic, no witches, no giant rats. Just regular folk going about everyday medieval business. Which, you know, will obviously include famine and war and brigands and disease and all other unsightly things, but for…
As seen on Game Watch These are official screenshots for X and X-2’s impendingre-release on PS4. Chin up Square, it’s only a partial mistake: Yuna’s pants are pretty fantsy.
