All we’ve seen so far of Firewatch is some art. Usually that’s not much, but that’s OK, because Fine Art is a feature about…art. And rarely do we get stuff that looks as good as this. Internet-famous designer and artist Olly Moss, whose work has appeared on stuff like the Resistance 3 box art, is…
There’s a scam going around trying to trick people into thinking they’ve been accepted into a beta test for a PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. Surprise! There is no beta. An email doing the rounds asks people to click on a URL and download a .zip file, the latter of which contains malware.…
This fancy machine just broke the world record for solving a Rubik’s cube. While pathetic humans can take minutes to get the job done, the CUBESTORMER 3 takes just 3.25 seconds. What I like about the CUBESTORMER 3 isn’t just the name (you’d say it in ALL CAPS in your mind even if it wasn’t…
Sony has just announced that virtual reality is coming to the PS4. It’s called Project Morpheus. First rumoured last year, the Sony headset puts the PlayStation 4 in a strange place in the gaming landscape, setting it apart from the Xbox One while offering a similar experience to the PC’s Oculus Rift. Part of the…
It’s been over two years since we got our first look at this promising Deus Ex short film, but it’s nearly done and ready for public viewing. And it looks incredible. Put together by some very talented fans – no, this isn’t a Square Enix marketing stunt – the cast is made up of a…
The Game Developers Conference isn’t like, say, E3. It’s not a trade show about upcoming projects, it’s a discussion forum, where nobody is ever expected to see or hear everything. That means those attending have choices to make. Some choices are very, very difficult. Thankfully, others are easy. Maybe. Writer/artist Elizabeth Simins will be hanging…
Edd Joseph bought a PS3 online from some stranger, and guess what, despite paying for it, the PS3 never arrived. Edd could have just sulked and got on with his life, but no. Edd got revenge. And Edd’s revenge was sweet. “I was really annoyed and I was trying to think of ways of being…
Photographer Mike Dosik tells Kotaku he has a “very dramatic style”. He’s not kidding. Most of his shots are up-close, and also skip busy backgrounds in favour of keeping the focus entirely on the cosplayer. You can see more of Mike’s work at his personal site KINGDOM HEARTS | dookie4617 FROZEN | Chibi-Nekos BORDERLANDS |…
Games like The Last of Us, Enslaved and Tokyo Jungle give us glimpses of what life would look like after people have all but disappeared. It’s often beautiful, but unless you live in one of the places shown in those games, it’s not exactly relevant. Urban Jungle, on the other hand, lets you add a…
Titanfall meets Metal Slug in a game that I would play a thousand times over. If it were actually a game. “TITANFALL FOR JORGE”[Cat & Fish]
We’ve got some reporters on the scene at this week’s big Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, but we’re also trying something new: we’ve got a cartoonist covering the show for us. Writer/artist Elizabeth Simins will be hanging out at GDC all week, filing comic strips each day to chronicle her adventures at the show.…
Those who have played it already know this, but for those who haven’t, be aware that Titanfall’s “campaign” isn’t really deserving of the name. It’s there for…I have no idea, actually. Maybe they needed some flimsy sort of narrative to justify future action figures/cartoons/comics books? In terms of what it brings to the game, it…
As it is with most modern movies, the first good look we’re getting at the star of the upcoming Godzilla flick is via an action figure. Sure, we’ve seen glimpses in the trailers, but nothing this crisp and clear. And…he looks pretty good! Very similar to his original design, though obviously with some changes, most…
Swedish animator and filmmaker David F. Sandberg made this short horror flick a few months back, but it’s only just started getting some traction online in the last few days. With good reason. I normally can’t stand horror stuff, but this one was short enough to stomach. Once. After that, it’s all nope nope nope,…
Tal Peleg is senior cinematics animator at Naughty Dog, where he worked on The Last Of Us. If you ever wondered where the wonderful Joel-does-the-Banderas animation came from, well, Tal’s your man. Prior to that, Tal worked at Visceral Games (Dead Space), and also did some stuff for space viking flick Outlander. In his spare…
Watch Dogs’ delay hasn’t just meant months of bug squashing and fixes. The team also found the time to add some new content to the game, some of which has seen its rating bumped to adults-only in Australia. The original rating for the Watch Dogs due last year was MA15+, meaning only those over the…
Microsoft just announced that Marc Whitten, Chief Product Officer of Xbox, will be leaving the company to take up a role with wireless audio company Sonos. The full statement is below: Following the launch of Xbox One, the most successful launch in Xbox history, and the recent launch of “Titanfall,” the most anticipated game of…
Your eyes do not deceive you. This is Madonna, dressed not as an ageing pop star, but as Game of Thrones’ Mother of Dragons herself, Daenerys Targaryen. And while she probably had some very professional help putting everything together, the end result is still pretty impressive. She wore the costume to help celebrate the Jewish…
Johan Grenier is a French character artist who has done work for companies like Ubisoft, Paizo and Privateer Press. In his time at Ubisoft, Grenier contributed to Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Revelations, III and IV.

The fifth and final new fighter to be added to the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter IV will be Decapre. She’s new, while also being not new. It’s weird. She’s not a new character, having first appeared briefly in Street Fighter Alpha 3 as an NPC (which you can see in the intro to the video…
