Just in case you were wondering, yes, you can make Grand Theft Auto in Disney Infinity. Just don’t tell the children.
We’ve hit a new low, people. The objectification of women in the games industry was bad enough, but now we’re ogling over the hot bods and tight abs of male developers as well? When will this perversion end? Hopefully never. Because this joke calendar, featuring 13 dreamy developers from studios like BioWare, Firazis and Double…
Japanese artist Katsuya Terada is a man whose work you should all be familiar with, mostly because he’s one of the main visionaries behindZelda’s aesthetic, but also because he worked on Hellboy and Pacific Rim. He’s returning to games this year with Alteil: Horizons. A card combat game, Alteil: Horizons is actually an all-stars kind…
Like many MMOs, Final Fantasy XIV has had some pretty serious technical issues since it launched. Unlike many MMOs, however (or other games, for that matter), FFXIV’s producer is ready to take the blame. Your blame. Where most platforms, services and games are usually better at ducking consumer complaints than they are accepting responsibility for…
Boy, these guys did a damn fine job nailing the game’s trademark style, from the outfit to the obstacles to the field of view on the camera they used. Mirror’s Edge Parkour POV [Youtube]
Microsoft wasn’t kidding around when it said yesterday that the Xbox One was in “full production”. One day later, and we’ve got shots of the very first retail units (like, the very first), boxed, sealed and on their way to…well, warehouse, I guess, since the console doesn’t go on sale for over a month. [Microsoft]
Despite the best efforts of publishers and their art teams (or clients), a video game collection can rarely look as impressive as a good stack of books. Which is why, if you’re concerned about that sort of thing, it’s a good idea to print off your own custom covers, which often look waaaaaay better than…
Remember earlier this year when reader Julian Checkley showed us his Darth Malgus costume? As jaw-dropping as it was, this beats it. This Tarfful suit is actually older than the Malgus outfit, but Julian’s only just put a video together showing how it all works. Taking over three months to build, it stands a whopping…
Total War: Rome II is getting a patch this Friday. Which is good, because as it stands, the game is a mess Here’s the complete update info from developers Creative Assembly: At Creative Assembly we are very pleased with the response to ROME II, with hundreds of thousands of players enjoying the game so far;…
This year’s Dragon Con was held over the weekend, and in attendance weren’t just some of the world’s finest cosplayers, but MLZ Studio, there to film it and give the world this great little video. I know, mileage on cosplay videos can vary, but this one’s good! No dramatic SWIRLS around the cosplayer, just them,…
There’s no such thing as a Google games console. The company has enough on its plate with Android as it is. But if it were to enter the market itself, well, it could do a lot worse than this effort. Designer Joseph Dumary (whose work we’ve featured previously) has mocked up this console called the…
Out in October, and published by the fanservice kings at Udon, Dark Souls: Design Works is a nice big hardcover book that collects a ton of concept and promotional art from the game. Most of its 128 pages are images, aside from a lengthy interview at the very end of the book, but hey, less…
Remember when people thought the Xbox One was called the Xbox Infinity? Turns out that actually was one of the names “in the running” at Microsoft for the console’s final branding. In an interview with Forbes, Albert Penello, Senior Director of Marketing and Planning for Xbox, said “The name Xbox Infinity was in the running,…
Relic’s strategy games were good, but no game has quite felt as true to the Warhammer 40K vibe than 1993’s Space Hulk, a first-person shooter based on the board game of the same name. So it’s nice to hear that the game’s getting a remake. The new take is called Space Hulk: Deathwing (in the…
When Ubisoft first announced that former Wii U exclusive Rayman Legends was going multiplatform, the publisher said that the Vita version “includes all of the original Rayman Legends content, as well as five exclusive maps”. That’s not entirely true. The five exclusive maps are there! But according to reports from IGN and NeoGAF users, it’s…
The launch of the next generation just got a little more real. Speaking at the Citi Global Technology Conference, and noted by GeekWire, Xbox’s Yusef Mehdi told attendees that Microsoft is now in “full production”. Which means right now, as you read this, somewhere in China, thousands of Xbox One consoles are rolling off the…
We can thank Alex Jones (Orion Pax) for this, a set of designs for He-Man LEGO so complete and professional that it’s a wonder he didn’t just sneak into my dreams and steal them. Characters, vehicles, playsets, weapons, he’s mocked them all up, from Castle Greyskull (it opens!) to Cringer, it’s all there. Head to…
While it’s yet to receive official accreditation as an “official psychiatric condition”, an American hospital has nevertheless become the first in the country to offer a form of treatment for internet addition. Opening next week, the Behavioural Health Services wing of Bradford Regional Medical Center in Pennsylvania will be making available a 10-day treatment program…
The one in the show is cool, don’t get me wrong, but in the books, it’s described as being made of one thousands blades. HBO’s version is nowhere near it. This one, though, is closer to the real thing. So much so that series creator George R R Martin has given the image his blessing…
Beginning life on the PC, Minecraft has since appeared on *deep breath* iOS, Android, Xbox 360, Mac, Linux, the Raspberry Pi (!) and, soon, the PS3, PS4, Vita and Xbox One. That’s just about every major platform and manufacturer out there. Oh, except one. Nintendo. Despite the smashing success the game has enjoyed on every…
