Look, Persona 4’s playable character was nice enough, I guess, but it’s always nicer going back to Persona 3’s quieter, more teenage hero. Or, in this case, a fantastic recreation of the guy. Doesn’t it look awesome? Shame then that you can’t buy it. Well, you can, but you’ll need to be at Japan’s Winter…
This Rocket Raccoon cosplay isn’t to scale. And that’s about the only thing I can find that’s wrong with it. It gets everything else right. The costume, the gear, even the “furry” aspect. It’s the work of Shoko and Jérôme Cosplay, whose Facebook page you should check out, because they’ve done a ton of other…
Track: On The Back Of A Golden Dolphin | Artist: Blockhead | Album: Bells & Whistles Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.
Atey Ghailan is a freelance concept artist whose most recent projects include Star Citizen and League of Legends. We actually took a look at his stuff a few years ago, but since then he’s published a ton of cool newer pieces, so I figured we could circle back around. Mostly because I love the colouring…
Tahira: Echoes of the Astral Empire is a new tactics RPG that I like the look of for two reasons. The first is that it’s got an art style that reminds me of old rotoscoped cartoons like Lord of the Rings and American Pop The second is that while it looks like a fantasy RPG,…
Pro Evolution Soccer 2015’s motto is “The Pitch Is Ours”. It’s a rallying cry to purists, fans of the sport who want their game to play like the real thing, not just look like it. It’s also accurate: in almost every respect, Konami’s game plays better than EAs. But that doesn’t matter. For the past…
David Melnarik got his mum to sit down on the Smash Bros. website and try to name every character in the game. Some of them, she knew! Most, she did not, but that didn’t stop her from guessing (and in many cases improving on Nintendo’s actual names). It’s similar to something from earlier in the…
For over two years, Jamie Colliver has been working hard on recreating almost all of Final Fantasy VII within another video game (LittleBigPlanet, not Minecraft). He’s finally done. Using the PS3 platformer as his foundation, and with a cast of characters ready to go courtest of some old FFVII-related DLC for the game, the recreation…
Han “Little Hand” Yu is a Chiense modder who has built one of the best PC cases I have ever seen. This thing looks like the result of Michael Bay saying “I WANT ANOTHER NEW TRANSFORMER, ONLY MAKE THIS ONE AN OWL OK GUYS THANKS”. Its made entirely of steel, and what’s impressive about it…
Photographer Sid Caesar took these photos of his buddy Phillip Friel wearing his Master Chief suit, and thought we’d like them because the suit is made out of paper Is it still papercraft if it’s life-size and wearable? Maybe it’s cospaper. Yeah, that’ll work.
Over the weekend,photographer Sacha Goldberger took part in an exhibitionat the Grand Palais in Paris. His show was all about taking cosplayers back to the Renaissance. Both his images and the costume work are simply out of this world. I mean, just look at them. Everything about them is perfect. The demure modelling, the photos…
Karakteris a German studio who have been working with HBO on Game of Thronessince the show’s inception. They’ve just released their work on season 4, and it’s fantastic. It’s interesting hearing some of the commentary that goes along with these images. Moat Cailin, for example, was shot in a location that didn’t match the description…
LostArk is an upcoming PC game from Korean studio Smilegate. It looks nutso. Once you get past the visuals in this trailer – and yes, most of this is showing what looks like gameplay – know that this isn’t a straight action/RPG like Diablo. It says it’s actually fusing that style of action gameplay with…
Mountain Dew. Doritos. Noscopes. Sonic. Game of the Year (aka 420BLAZEIT) by Andy Sum has all this and more. I’d “review” it, but I never get that far since I keep dying. Because I can’t stop laughing You can play it (though downloading is probably preferable) here, with some gameplay footage courtesy of Orions Angel…
Poor Game of Thrones hasn’t had the best of luck with video games so far, but people are way more optimistic about Telltale’s (The Walking Dead) upcoming take on the franchise. Over the weekend these images, reportedly of the as-yet-unseen game, appear to have leaked. As you can see, Cersei is not impressed. They weren’t…
It seems these days that a big game just can’t launch without some kind of technical issue. The accepted response to this by both consumers and the press seems to be “well, that sucks, but it’ll probably get fixed soon”. That’s not good enough anymore. I get that making games is hard. That publishers force…
Kimmo Kaunela is a 3D artist from Finland, who works in the games industry as an environment artist. You can see more of Kimmo’s work at his personal site To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save them as wallpaper), click on the “expand” button…
3A, masters of detailed (and precariously fragile) action figures, are putting out a Master Chief. He looks amazing All that amazement comes at a price, though: he’ll be $240 when he goes on sale on November 20
Scott Loxley, a member of the 501st Legion, is walking around Australia. It’s a big country, I should know, but I also know that he’s walking around the parts full of animals that kill humans for sport. In 18 months, Loxley has walked 5700 miles, which is just over halfway. In keeping with the Australian…
Gamers 4 Croydon were a political party that helped Australians turn the tide against archaic ratings laws. In appreciation for their efforts, Valve will be honouring them with a little shout-out in Left 4 Dead 2. The zombie shooter was one of the more high profile victims of Australia’s old ratings system, and had to…
