The original PlayStation controller debuted in 1994. The more familiar DualShock was released in 1997. The PlayStation 3 controller you’re using today, well into the 21st century, is almost identical to that 1997 design. Let’s think about that for a second. It’s now 2013, and if you’ve got a PS3, you’re still using a pad…
Titanfall is a Microsoft exclusive. Like, a proper one, in that it won’t ever be coming to the PlayStation. That’s news for gamers, but until recently it was also news to one of the guys…running the company making the game. Respawn boss Vince Zampella has posted on Twitter that while Titanfall was always going to…
Morning all! Here’s some stuff you missed while dreaming about the stuff you’d miss… A Good Look At Maybe The Best Star Wars Game We Never Got Kinect Accessory Will Stop The Camera Spying On You EA Wins “Award” For Charging People To Complain About SimCity PS4 vs Xbox One: Battlefield 4 Comparison
There’s a special place in my heart for Sensible Software. The British studio behind two of the greatest computer games of all time – Sensible Soccer and Cannon Fodder – has been gone since 1999, but its legacy lives on in a fantastic new book by Gary Penn. Sensible Software 1986-1999, written by Gary Penn,…
Curious to see what the same game looks like on two new, different systems? This video from IGN should help. Note that these kind of videos are most useful if you run them at 1080p. Before you go crazy, remember something else: this is one game, one developed by a third-party. So don’t go jumping…
Figma figures are about the best figures on Earth if you like putting characters in rad poses. There will soon be an Indiana Jones Figma. Yes The likeness is…not bad, but it’s the range of movement and accessories that make it. The idol, the weight, the Holy Grail, a whip, the gun, the hat….aaawww yes…
One of the saddest game cancellations of the last few years has got to be Grin’s Fortress, an ambitious Final Fantasy title that would have been the first major game in the franchise to be developed outside Japan. Those interested to see what a Western take on the series might look like, though, still have…
Not that the Xbox One will be spying on you, that’s always sounded a little overly-dramatic to me, but if you’re the type to assume the worst – but still, um, buy the console regardless – then this is the peripheral for you. PDP will be releasing a $20 TV mount that in addition to…
A 12-year-old boy from Canada has appeared in court having been busted hacking several local and international government websites, handing over information to Anonymous in exchange for…video games. What? He’s 12. According to the Toronto Sun, some of the sites he hacked include the Quebec Institute of Public Health, the website of the Chilean government…
Happy Monday! Well…OK, Monday sucks. But here’s some cool stuff to get your morning started on a slightly-less-sucky footing. Fans Trash Call Of Duty Booth At Games Expo So People Are Cosplaying As Screenshots Now Nintendo, Steal This SNES Paint Scheme And Sell It, Please Street Fighter II Facts That May Blow Your Mind…
This video could have been great. It shows the kind of thing a prospective buyer of a brand new console wants to see: menus, commands, switching between programs. The nuts and bolts of your every day experience. It’s a shame, then, that Microsoft decided to take such a “real” premise and make a staged advertisement…
In 1666, most of London burned to the ground. The old city as it once stood, from the buildings to the streetplan itself, are lost to history. Oh, unless you take a look at this video. Built using old maps and drawings of the city which predate the fire, a team of students from De…
That’s some fine BioShock cosplay they’ve got going on there, both Elizabeth and…Booker’s Hand. Also of note this week: Star Wars cosplay! There really isn’t enough of it, considering the scale of the property. Nice to see it here, and also nice seeing someone that you can’t really play the Imperial March for. To see…
Console artist Zoki64 once made the prettiest Nintendo 64 (and GBA!) I’ve ever seen. He’s back today, with one of the prettiest Super Nintendo’s you’ll ever see. I’d like to think that even if you didn’t like Zelda that much, you could appreciate the colour scheme, which is appropriate not just for the company’s heritage,…
Someone at Activision thought it would be a good idea to hand out $200 editions of the next Call of Duty game to the first 500 people who could get to the game’s booth at the Milan Games Week. No other rules. Just get there first. Surprise: it was not a good idea. Not sure…
Because he’ll kick your ass. Well. Hands. This clip was taken by the band Radio Birds, whose manager you can see there starting the game against former Game of Thrones actor Jason Momoa so optimistically. Oh, how his tune has changed around a minute in.
Canadian artist Steve doesn’t have much use for one of the rooms in his house, it seems, which is why he’s turned it into a construction yard for a replica Super Star Destroyer. It’s called the Assertor, and is based on a design by Ansel Hsiao, whose amazing 3D works we showcased a couple of…
Nintendo of America’s Twitter account, normally home to perfectly sane product announcements, got a little weird this evening when President Reggie Fils-Aime took over. Our bodies weren’t ready. And just to be sure: There was even room for gloating. Like, how we was playing Animal Crossing two months before everyone else. The whole thing seems…
You know what was cool about Pacific Rim? All those giant mechs. You know what’s cool about Hugo Martin, the guy who helped design those mechs? He’s now working on Doom 4. Not that id’slong-in-development-hell shooter is his first work in games, though, as he was also at Naughty Dog for the first Uncharted, and…
This is Probably Archery, and it does for the ancient and noble sport/weapon what QWOP does for running and Surgeon Simulator does for gross criminal negligence. It’s a work-in-progress, so you’ll find things are a little rough around the edges. You’ll also find that it’s pretty hard to aim thanks to the perspective. So don’t…
