The creators of the newest Call of Duty are attempting to turn the tide at E3 in Los Angeles this week. They’re up against a month-long sea surge of negativity the likes of which even this series has never seen. Working in their favor this week: what they’re showing of the new Call of Duty…

Earlier this spring, stills and artwork of an Overwatch clone appeared on Chinese sites. Now, we have footage of the game in action. As Redditor Rebirdhk previously pointed out on r/Overwatch, the game is called Legend of Titans. Overwatch does have an official release in China, and Legend of Titans appears to be for mobile,…
Nothing like seeing a troupe of idols standing on stage, singing their headless heads off.

Kotobuki began painting as a part of his…
Dengeki Online asked Tetsuya Nomura about more The World Ends with You, and he replied that he “wouldn’t say it’s impossible.” Nomura added that he’s been asked numerous times about a sequel, but making it happen isn’t that easy.

Because it’s a prequel set in the 1980s, Yakuza 0 is hopefully going to be the perfect place for newcomers to jump into Sega’s story-heavy world of brutal combat and dumb-ass minigames. Because the more people who play Yakuza, the better Yakuza 0 is going to be out in English in 2017. Its E3 trailer…
On the left, EA’s Patrick Söderlund talking to IGN. On the right, Corey Davis, design director at Psyonix (the developers of Rocket League). Some background on that 2011 date: Rocket League, for all its recent success, actually has a long and interesting development history, since it’s basically a reboot/sequel of a similar, earlier game that…
In the wake of Resident Evil 7‘s E3 reveal, Capcom dropped a teaser demo that’s… different. “Resident Evil? More like Resident P.T.-vil,” said somebody somewhere, probably. But according to Capcom, the final game will be more like classic Residents Evil (the correct plural; fight me) than people are expecting. As with anything that’s different, the…
I know, there’s been a lot of Overwatch cosplay here lately, but there’s just so much of it, and it’s so consistently good, and people are very much into this game, so whatever, deal with it. Today? It’s Fredrik Just and his incredible Genji outfit, which as you can see not only fits nice and…
There’s a window in one of the corners of Ubisoft’s massive E3 booth, and through it you can see people playing the new Star Trek Bridge Crew virtual reality game.

The HD remaster of Final Fantasy XII will come with a fast forward feature, letting players blaze through all those random battles and giant maps at twice or even quadruple speed. “One feedback we got from fans who played the original Final Fantasy XII was how vast the fields are,” said Final Fantasy XII The…
Or at least it wasn’t for Hawken, as the developers have shared in a surprisingly interesting timeline of how the mech shooter made the march from PC to Xbox One/PS4. Yeah, I know, Hawken, right?

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past will be out in North America on September 16. There’s a new trailer and everything! Dragon Quest theme music always makes me smile.
The line to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild at E3 is apparently really, really, really, really, really, really, really long. Like, really long. (h/t Polygon)
E3 isn’t for everyone. It’s a massive video game convention built on glitz, glamour, and the bones of exhausted booth workers. It costs money to exhibit within those cramped halls, and people might not even notice. For years, Devolver has gotten around this by demoing games in a lot across the street. That, however, comes…
The latest patch notes for The Witcher 3 state that CD Projekt Red fixed an issue where “a noblewoman in red would sometimes follow Geralt everywhere he goes.” But while this bug may not plague players anymore, the internet never forgets.
