I had hopes! Big hopes! There was potential, I thought, and maybe, just maybe, the filmmakers were going to show me up as an idiot by delivering a first-rate, smart Attack on Titan sequel. I was wrong. They did not. Last month, I reviewed the first Attack on Titan movie. This month, I am back…
Neymar is one of the most famous soccer players on Earth. He’s also the most amusing thing at this year’s Tokyo Game Show. Konami passed out Neymar faces to show off its latest Pro Evo game as you can see in the above image via Yuriko Abe. Here is a close up: [Photo: Iceman_BSAA] And…
You’ve seen what Noctis looks like, and this weekend, I learned what he smelled like. The fragrance was created in the character’s image, so if you catch a whiff, you probably get an idea of the character’s scent. At least, that seems to be the idea. We’ve known about the Noctis Eau de Toilette for…
This is Chikara Saito. Fans call him “Rickey.” He’s the director for Dragon Quest X Online. In the above photo, which dates from a while back, he looks healthy and happy. But now, people are concerned about him. I am, too. As noted on 2ch, Japan’s largest bulletin board, here’s how Rickey looked earlier this…
I have been going to the Tokyo Game Show since 2004. I believe this is the first year that Hideo Kojima is not appearing on stage. Here is 2004. [Photo: Game Impress Watch] And 2005.

Delicious. Kanazawa, Japan. By Mukur. JPGs is a photo peek into wherever gamers might find interesting. If you’re a photographer and have images you want to share, drop us a line!
Tokyo Game Show this year was packed with games and fans. And cosplay. Lots of cosplay. It’s the first public day of Tokyo Game Show, and the cosplay area was packed with people dressed up as their favorite characters and the people photographing them. Here’s a sample of some of the fun and cool cosplay…
Project Morpheus PlayStation VR may be the only way I ever want to play Final Fantasy XIV—so long as they work out some of the real world kinks. At this point, most gamers have probably heard of Project Morpheus PlayStation VR and seen what it can do. VR is nothing new. The real question is…
Ghost in the Shell has always been about futuristic stuff, so seeing it in 3D in a planetarium-like dome was rather fitting. At Production I.G’s booth at this year’s Tokyo Game Show is a mini theater for their upcoming virtual reality app (see below), 攻殻機動隊 Virtual Reality Diver (Ghost in the Shell Virtual Reality Diver).…
There are lots of titles at this week’s Tokyo Game Show. What platforms they appear on is a solid gauge for what’s currently happening in Japanese gaming. And what’s big? Mobile. For the past few years, TGS has been lots and lots of mobile. But, that’s not the only story. There are many more PlayStation…
While players in the still West are awaiting the release of the anime (technically “light novel”) cross-over fighter Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax, an updated version of the game was shown off this week at the Tokyo Game Show. From the TGS demo, it is clear that there are a few big differences between Dengeki Bunko:…
While we’ve heard bits and pieces of the Persona 5 theme song in the game’s trailers, at Atlus’ TGS stage show earlier today, we got to listen to the full theme song for the first time. The accompanying video switches between what is presumably the game’s opening animation and live action clips of the singer,…
Tri-Ace and Spike Chunsoft’s new RPG, Exist Archive: The Other Side of the Sky was playable at this year’s Tokyo Game Show so I sat down and gave it a whirl. The game is your basic action RPG with you playing as the main character running and jumping around fighting stuff. The triangle button is…
Despite being one of the first games for the PlayStation Vita, Gravity Rush remains among the best of the system’s library. And as I sat down with Gravity Rush Remastered at the Tokyo Game Show, I had one goal: to figure out how a game made to use all the unique features of the Vita…
Upcoming PS4 title Dead or Alive Xtreme 3: Fortune—you know, the new DoA beach volleyball game—will also be compatible with PlayStation VR, Tecmo Koei announced today at the Tokyo Game Show.
At TGS, even trailers have two hour wait times. Granted, in this case, said trailer is for the new Steins;Gate. Doesn’t make it any less ridiculous, though. Photo by Richard Eisenbeis. JPGs is a photo peek into wherever gamers might find interesting. If you’re a photographer and have images you want to share, drop us…
In Final Fantasy XV, you don’t have to travel around only by car or on foot. You can ride Chocobos and make those big birds drift. This is bonkers! There’s a speed dash, and then you can slow down suddenly and drift ‘em and hop over crocodiles. And when you are done with that, you…
Final Fantasy Agito is dead. It’s no more. In its place, Square Enix is launching a new online game in its place: Final Fantasy Type-0. Currently in development, the game is aimed for global players (unlike the Japan-centric Final Fantasy Agito), and there will be a beta test in China. The hack-and-slash will launch sometime…
Granblue Fantasy is huge in Japan. Enormous. The game is a smash hit. It’s been downloaded over five million times, and there’s a newly announced anime. Yet, you’ve probably never heard of Granblue Fantasy. Maybe you have! This free-to-play PC and mobile game has quite a pedigree. It has music from former Final Fantasy composer…
While a lot of people are hyped about the upcoming HD remake of Resident Evil 2, many may have forgotten that another Resident Evil is getting a good old HD upgrade. [Update: Originally this article called the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake a “remaster.” This typo has been fixed] Today at TGS I sat down…
