The amazing thing here in this video by builder Kooberz isn’t just that his LEGO PS4 looks just like the real thing, but that he got this done – and edited a video – so damn fast. The console was only shown off on Monday, and here he is good to go on Thursday! Lego…
This Persona figure, by Vertex, will probably cost you $120-130. Which is a lot for something that’s only 1/7 scale (not much bigger than your standard action figure). Then again, your standard figure isn’t of Persona 3’s Mitsuru Kirijo. Depicted here in her combat gear from fighting game Persona 4: Arena, she comes with a…
Maybe it’s because it’s a hard game to nail in a single sentence, maybe because it’s Platinum’s “other” Wii U game (after Bayonetta 2), but Wonderful 101 has sadly not gotten the attention it deserves this week. Let’s change that. I mean, what’s there not to love about a game that can channel Viewtiful Joe…
E3 is, for many attendees, nothing but one giant party. Most of the time, those parties are in dark venues with catered food. This guy, however, managed to find his party in what looks like the…Ouya parking lot You go, man. Dance the E3 away. Video [Frag Burn]
Most professional press attending E3 avoid going overboard on grabbing “swag”. It’s unprofessional (plus it’s usually tacky anyways!). For many fansites and retail reps, though, E3 is as much about the race to collect free t-shirts as it is to play some new games. For some of those, it’s then also a race to get…
And it’s lovely. Atlus, keep doin’ what you’re doin’.
I love Mirror’s Edge so much I’m not going to get into it here, but the game had its faults. All those indoor bits, mostly. I wanted to run free! Developers DICE are keeping tight-lipped on the freshly-announced sequel for the most part, but one thing they did disclose – and it’s pretty important –…
Later this year, Microsoft’s awful points system will be retired. Yes. In its place, you’ll be buying content using the same stuff you do for everything else: your local currency. But how, exactly, is the transition going to work? I mean, it’s not as simple as it sounds. Currency values fluctuate, the price of Microsoft…
I was sent an email today that told me this was a Game of Thrones rap battle. The description and the video thumbnail had my expectations at rock-bottom. Silly me. This is as amazing as it is NSFW. The writing, the rapping, the copying of voices, the works. Also, warning: spoilers ahead if you haven’t…
In case you hadn’t realised there’s a difference between the guys who design the inside of a console and the guys who design the outside, take a look at this tweet (via PlayStation) from PS4 lead architect and game development legend Mark Cerny. Sony took a lot of heat, much of it justified, when it…
When the Xbox One launches in November, Microsoft’s achievements system will undergo its biggest overhaul since its implementation. There’ll be two kinds of achievements. Stuff you can earn that aren’t achievements. Achievements for watching TV. And more. CHALLENGES First things first: you can now earn more than just regular achievements. Those are staying as they…
This is Ryan. Ryan works for Respawn, the developers of…what’s the name of their game again?
First announced last month, Hohokum is a collaboration between developers Honeyslug and artist Richard Hogg. It is, as the devs describe, “a game where a colourful serpent flies around helping people”. Lovely. It’s due next year on PS3, PS4 and Vita.
ArmA developers Bohemia Interactive picked a bad week to announce Take On Mars, a new simulation game that has you rolling, bouncing and cutting your way across the red planet doing all kinds of boring science stuff. How they expected it to compete against the blockbuster stuff being shown elsewhere during E3 I have no…
Ghost – a character described as your “interactive companion”, your “wingman” – will be one of the most important voices you hear while playing Bungie’s Destiny. Good thing they got someone popular to do it then. The character will be voiced by Peter Dinklage, aka Tyrion Lannister, as you can see confirmed in the video…
Not that we expected anything else. I mean, this is Thief. It’s hardly going to be about unicorns and puppies. But still, even by Thief’s standards, this artwork is grim. I’m not sure on who the artists responsible for this are, as like most corporate concept piece dumps prior to a game’s release no credit…
Over 400 “contributors and partners” have been paid over ten million dollars for their creations ever since Valve started letting fans design – and sell – Team Fortress 2 gear. In highlighting the sum, Valve pays particular attention to the users behind the recent Robotic Boogaloo update, which was made by around sixty fans and…
That’s a direct quote from this trailer for YAIBA: Ninja Gaiden Z. Just so you know what you’re getting yourself in for. The game, which is being directed by former Capcom legend Keiji Inafune, was slated for 360, PS3 and iOS, though this clip says it’s now coming to PS4 as well. Bonus: below is…
It’s not just Wind Waker’s graphics that have got the HD treatment. The game’s best piece of key art – a simplified version was seen on the GameCube version’s manual – has been too. For better or worse. Like the game itself, I prefer the GameCube’s more hand-drawn take, but that doesn’t mean I hate…
Americans look at the Xbox 360 and see a dominant home console, one which has topped the sales charts for literally years, but it’s not the same story worldwide. The PlayStation brand remains stronger in Europe, while in much of Asia – especially Japan – it’s the dominant console. Which probably explains why the list…
