8 Minutes of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel’s Low-Gravity Action

I got a chance to play a bit of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel last week—and you can see some highlights of the mission I played in the video above, if you’d like. Some scattered thoughts on the demo: The entire time, I could only think one thing: holy shit, Borderlands is massive. Overwhelming, almost. It’s always…

The Internet Reacts To Nintendo’s E3 Presentation

Nintendo didn’t go for a live presentation today, but they still had a lot to show this week—and some of that stuff was considered a megaton for fans. New open-world Zelda. Brand new games with fresh ideas. New characters and modes in Smash. Most of what Nintendo showed during their short E3 presentation was a…

Pokémon’s New Mega Evolutions, In Action

We’d heard that the new Pokémon remakes would include megas for Mudkip and Treeko. But now we can see what they’re like in the actual game. Neat, eh? In fact, there’s a whole bunch of new footage of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire—Hoenn is looking like a great place to return to: Admittedly, though, I…

You Can Kick Butt As Zelda and Midna In Hyrule Warriors

Hyrule Warriors, the hack-and-slash spin-off of The Legend of Zelda, won’t just let you play as boring ol’ Link. It’ll also let you play as some very cool heroines, like Zelda and Midna. Awesome. Hyrule Warriors is a collaboration between Nintendo and Tecmo Koei, and it releases in Japan on August 14th, and in North…

Smash Bros. Has A Ton Of New Modes On The 3DS

The 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. is looking mighty impressive, thanks to a bunch of new modes that were announced today during a Nintendo Direct. We saw some old favorites—like home run contest. We also saw ones that weren’t explained; we saw, for instance, Mario moving through what seemed to be a game board.…

The Internet Reacts To Sony’s E3 Presentation

Microsoft opened things up today, and Sony brings Monday’s E3 presentation madness to a close. Tonight, Sony showed us a ton of stuff over the course of two hours—and people had plenty to say about it all. The general sentiment I got is that people thought Sony’s presser was strong, despite having a few middling…

Uncharted 4 Stars, You Guessed It, Nathan Drake

And hey, Sully makes an appearance too (at least, audio-wise…is Sully still alive??) It sounds like Nathan Drake has been out of the game for a while—he seems older, and Sully seems uncertain if Drake has got it in him still. Here’s the trailer. The full name, technically, is Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End—pretty ominous!

Sony Jabs At Kinect, Live On Stage

If you weren’t paying attention during Andrew House’s part of the Sony presentation tonight during E3 tonight, you might have missed a knock on the previously mandatory Kinect. House gets on the stage to boast about the PS4, and makes quick mention of how the PS4’s motion control peripheral was available as a choice to…

Abzu Looks Like Journey, But Underwater. Neat.

And that’s not too surprising, given that some of the developers on Giant Squid games—the developers behind the intriguing looking Abzu—also worked on Journey. It shows. Abzu looks like it’ll be a gorgeous, contemplative game that focuses on marine life/water experiences.

Hey, where’s Delsin? Check out the trailer for Infamous: Second Son‘s upcoming DLC, First Light. It focuses on Fetch, the sassy street urchin Conduit with the super-speed neon powers. Y’know, the best traversal powers in the game. First Light drops in August 2014.

A White Version of the PS4 Drops On September 9th

OK, Now THIS Is A Next-Gen Video Game

Since Assassin’s Creed: Unity won’t be making an appearance on last-gen systems, it wont be making any compromises with what the developers can do in the game. It’s a game built entirely around new hardware. And damn if it doesn’t show, based on the footage that Ubisoft debuted today during E3. The scene opens with…

Far Cry 4’s Villain Seems Like A Real Jerk

Ubisoft debuted the first five minute of Far Cry 4 during their E3 presentation today and it features a most uptight villain—someone you might remember from the game’s box art. The footage, which you can watch above, shows you passing through the Himalayas when all of a sudden your bus is stopped—and everyone around you…

And The Best Game Name of E3 Goes To…

Super Ultra Dead Rising 3 Arcade Remix Hyper Edition EX Plus Alpha, the DLC for Dead Rising 3. Boy, that’s a mouthful. Yes, we might also take “best” to mean “most ridiculous.” (Via John Davison)

The Internet Reacts To Microsoft’s E3 Presentation

Microsoft was the first up to bat today, and this year they focused primarily on one thing during their presentation: the games. Not just big triple-A games, either—there were plenty of small indie games showcased as well. People noticed. In fact, in general, people seem to be responding pretty well to everything Microsoft unveiled today…

Mirror’s Edge 2 Looks Exactly As Cool As It Should

EA showcased some new footage of Mirror’s Edge 2, and boy, Faith doesn’t look like someone you want to mess around with. Footage showed Faith wall running, and the developers delved a bit into Faith’s backstory. They also highlighted motion capture, and it looks like Faith might have some new moves. Neat. To contact the…

Here’s Your First Look At The New Mass Effect

Bioware just unveiled a new Mass Effect during EA’s press conference at E3, and it looks gorgeous. The game seems to be in an early development stage—some of the footage/shots was labelled as conceptual—but Bioware spoke of how they’re listening to fans and taking the franchise in new directions. We caught shots of new planets,…

Rise of The Tomb Raider Shows A New Side of Lara Croft

Looks like the Xbox One is getting a new Tomb Raider—and in this one, Lara Croft seems haunted by her past experiences (the trailer shows Croft in what appears to be a therapy session). Interesting! Might this be a direct sequel to the recent reboot? Kind of looks like it. You can watch the trailer…
