Harrison Krix, from Volpin Props, has shared some images of the build for one of his latest works, replicating the Militech Crusher from CD Projekt’s upcoming Cyberpunk 2077. This isn’t a cosplay piece; he was commissioned to make it by the game’s developers, and to help get it looking perfect was given reference materials from…
For around a decade now, while it’s been a smash hit on consoles, Mario Kart has also been an arcade racer, thanks to a partnership between Nintendo and Namco Bandai. The latest version of the game, Mario Kart Arcade GP DX is out this week in Japan, and this clip shows what it looks like…
People in Star Wars think they got problems. Dead parents, missing limbs, bad weather. Huh. Westeros scoffs at your problems. Perhaps inspired by the equally-wonderful Arrested Westeros, a Reddit forum has sprung up comparing the worlds of Star Wars and Game of Thrones. The basic gist being that Stars needs to man up. Warning: mild…
Forget human faces, one of the hardest things to do in game development is get water right. It’s fluid, it’s messy, it’s always been a problem for games to simulate the wet stuff accurately. But hey, it’s 2013, so let’s see how things are coming along. NeoGAF user -SD- has shared a collection of videos…
It’s always nice to play an adventure game that’s not set in a fantasy kingdom, gritty sci-fi future or cartoon world. Though, actually, I’m not sure “nice” is the right word to use when it comes to 9 Months In. An indie point-and-click adventure game, you play a woman who is both incarcerated and pregnant.…
Snapped at PAX Australia last weekend. I wonder if it would be any less annoying if it was J.A.R.V.I.S. banging on at you to “please listen”. Best cosplay at PAX AUS. [Reddit, via Fashionably Geek]
Now that the Mad Max game is going to have an Australian-accented star, who’s it going to be? One man has alreadyput his hand up: Mel Gibson’s brother (and professional voice actor) Donal. Who like Mel isn’t actually Australian, but having spent time here growing up can do the accent pretty damn well.
How meta. It’s designed to let you enter virtual reality, but the Oculus Rift can also be used to control things in the real world. Like drones. This is the first flight of Oculus FPV, a scheme put together by Intuitive Aerial that lets you use the headset to get a birds-eye view of stuff…
SimCity had one of the most catastrophic launches in video game history. Even after the server problems went away, fans slowly found out the game was a city-building mirage, with many key features and mechanics simply not working. Somehow, at EA, this qualifies as a “success”. Speaking with VentureBeat, EA Games’ Frank Gibeau said: In…
The last we saw of Darth Vader’s prototype Tie Advanced fighter, it was spinning off into space while the first Death Star exploded into sparks and high fives. Plus, that was just a model (or a piece of CG). So really, it’s only now that some crazy Germans have built a life-sized version of the…
This is a host on Michigan’s ABC 12 describing a construction zone and how it’s going to impact traffic. That’s what she’s talking about, anyway. Her fingers tell a different story. It’s clearly an accident, drawn as the rest of her fingers drag behind her index as she points on the touchscreen, but hey. Don’t…
OK. This is awesome. Matt Rhodes, one of the best concept artists in the business, has opened up the vaults and shared some of his work on the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series from before you’d seen a screenshot. Suffice to say, things are different When I say the images are from the earliest…
This is a new trailer for Gravity, the new movie by Children of Men director Alfonso Cuarón. If you ever had dreams of being an astronaut when you were a kid, well, I feel bad for you son.
When you can actuallyget up off yourbutt and move your camera around, there was some of the best cosplay in the world to be seen at last weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con. And much of it was captured by the very mobile Sneaky Zebra, who were in attendance with fancy equipment to capture all the best…
Mikhail Rakhmatullin is a concept artist who works at Russian indie developers Nival. He does good sci-fi. And fantasy. And sharp-dressed robots. You can see more of his work at his personal site and CGHub page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough, so you can save them…
Dust is not, as you may first think, an upcoming Hollywood adaptation of The Last Of Us. It’s just a short, one that’s taken four years, and a ton of hard work, to put together. A lot of that punch comes from fact it’s been produced by Ember Labs (who we’ve featured previously on Kotaku),…
Visuals company Geomerics has some lighting tech called Enlighten. It’s in a lot of games you’ve already played, but it’s in even more you’re about to play. In the future. And they look just great. This demo reel the company put together sure is pretty. I doubt my PC will ever get these games looking…
Photographer Sebastian Jespersen took some amazing cosplay photos at Comic-Con, which you can see here, but my favourite shot of his has nothing to do with dressing up. It’s this one. Where the dude on the right is getting a lesson in how to protest topics relevant to the show at hand. Sebastian Jespersen [Flickr]
A report on The Wrap claims that Sony is looking to get the producers of Fifty Shades of Grey to put a Gran Turismo movie together. The story claims it’s part of a move to cash in on the recent success of “fast car” movies like Fast & The Furious, but God, I hope not.…
Though it’s a platform that began with the joystick the dominant control method, over the past twenty years the keyboard and mouse overtook it to become the only way to play most games on the PC. Which is a shame, because there are a lot of them that play better with a control pad. This…
