I’m finding it increasingly difficult to get excited about DOTA 2, since my dalliances with League of Legends ended in me promptly uninstalling League of Legends, but I still check the game’s blog every single day. Why? Because there’s always the chance Valve will release more character art of the game’s heroes, which are some…
Director Scott Derrickson and co-writer C. Robert Cargill have been speaking with Crave about the upcoming Deus Ex movie project, and things are, at least from a philosophical standpoint, sounding promising. “…the chief philosophy is we’re not making a video game movie, we’re making a cyberpunk movie”, Cargill says. “We’ve taken a look at what’s…
The Last Guardian should be out by now. It’s not. It could have been shown off at the PS4 unveiling. It wasn’t. Fans looking forward to the game have every right to wonder what the hell is going on, then, and to them, Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida would like to say he’s sorry.…
You can love a good old-fashioned video game manual for any number of reasons. It might be enormous, like Falcon 3.0’s, or slightly crazy, like Star Wars’. Rarely, though, are they genuinely beautiful. Not like this. This is the manual for the Sega Master System version of Fist of The North Star, released in Japan…
Boing Boing’s Mark Frauenfelder, out of curiosity to see if there was a way his young daughter could watch Game of Thrones with him, googled the term “censored game of thrones”. And whaddya know, such a thing existed. People have gone to the trouble of taking complete seasons of HBO’s smash hit show, carefully editing…
I’ve been in this job since 2006. That’s somehow become a long time ago, at least in internet years, but I can still remember the days before I worked here, when I put on a tie and sat on a train and went to work in an office every day just like most other people.…
This is Sucker Punch’s Nate Fox, speaking at yesterday’s PlayStation 4 launch event. For the briefest moment, between recounting tales of police surveillance and introducing his studio’s newest game, the clouds parted. The future was right there. And suddenly, his world stopped.
Google will use all kinds of fancy terms and words to sell its Glasses tech when it eventually goes on sale, but for you guys, it will only need to say this: it’s a HUD. As you can see in this demonstration video, showing footage captured via the glasses, the lines between reality and imagery/actions…
Time for a PS4 palette cleanser. If you just looked at the outside of this LEGO recreation of the Ghostbusters HQ, you’d think it was pretty good. Looking inside, though, is when you realise it’s absolutely incredible There’s a level of detail in the interior decoration that I just didn’t think was possible with conventional…
It just wouldn’t be a video game event without a trailer. So here’s a trailer for the PS4. Which, before you scoff too deeply, actually serves as a pretty handy visual recap of everything that went down yesterday
Sony’s PlayStation 4 reveal earlier this evening was one of the stranger console announcements I can remember. We heard from a ton of developers, but some big ones didn’t have anything concrete to show or talk about. We saw a lot of games, but many were games we already knew about. And we heard all…
If you were expecting a next-gen shooter on the PS4 to look a lot like it would on the PS3, only shinier, well, congratulations. You were right. Killzone: Shadow Fall is the next game in Guerilla’s series, and a gameplay video was shown at Sony’s PS4 unveiling earlier this evening. Most images here appear to…
Capcom’s always-adorable Yoshinori Ono has made an appearance at Sony’s PS4 unveiling to announce Deep Down (working title), a new IP. It’s based on a new Capcom engine codenamed Panta Rhei, and has dudes in armour fighting huge dragons. Well, until the end, when things get weirdly sci-fi. More pics below.
After years of speculation and rumours, Sony finally unveiled the PlayStation 4 tonight. While the console itself was kept under wraps, we do get to take a good look at the system’s controller with these official product shots. For the first time in PlayStation history, the controller has been significantly redesigned, retaining only the most…
Well, that was weird. We got a console reveal without Sony actually revealing the console. It’s left a lot of people confused, maybe even concerned, so given the chance we had to ask: where was the PS4? “Why do you care?” jokes Shuhei Yoshida, president of Sony’s Worldwide Studios. Pressed as to what we should…
We’ve been speculating and spilling them for months, but Sony has finally revealed, at least partially, the basic spec sheet for the PS4. It’s… very basic, but as you can see, there’s 8GB of memory, a hard drive and an x86 CPU. We knew many of these specs (and then some) earlier, but there was…
The PS4’s new controller—officially dubbed the DualShock 4—is going to be working in tandem with a new camera, called the PlayStation 4 Eye. We’ve shown you images of these already, but if you want to get right into the technical specs—and with the camera, that might be worth your while—here they are. DualShock 4 External…
To go with the new PS4 controller, Sony also made brief mention tonight of a new camera that will also be released with the system. A revamped and improved version of Sony’s camera tech, it’ll serve as both a regular camera (for video purposes) while also tracking the movement of the new PS4 pad via…
Quantic Dream’s David Cage has taken the stage to reveal a new engine his studio has come up with for the PlayStation 4, claiming that a stunning model of an old man’s head—as detailed as those found in CGI films—was running in real-time on Sony’s new console. Take that with as many grains of salt…
Evolution Studios are working on a racing game for the PS4 called Driveclub. With a big emphasis on team-based gameplay, and featuring real car licenses. Races can be set up on a mobile phone, invitations sent out for a major event, and events can accommodate small groups of friends or thousands of competitors from all…
