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…
A Persona 5 anime is on the way according to an announcement made at Tokyo Game Show 2015 earlier today.
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…
At the Tokyo Game Show today, Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata answered a whole bunch of questions about the game. We learned new things! Such as.. – They will not include Japanese and English language voice tracks on the disc, because apparently, they can’t fit both on the physical game. But according to Hajime…
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…
Multiple teams raced to the finish over the last seven hours, eager to complete the newest Destiny raid, King’s Fall. But only one group can claim first. For comparison’s sake: it tooksix hours for a team to beat The Dark Below’s raid for the first time. Seems like killing Oryx was a bit tougher! Some…
Wooooow. So that’s how it is, huh? Splatfest—the event where Splatoon asks players to pick between two sides and duke it out against one another—is happening this weekend, and some of the trash talking I’ve seen in the Miiverse plaza is FIERCE, as evidenced by this screenshot taken by Brittany Rolstad. It’s kind of unsettling…
Its name is Bedlam, and it will probably kick your ass. In a good way, mostly. I love Fallout, but the recent games have been lacking in one major area. I wish there was more for me to be authentically, tangibly afraid of. Bethesda’s Fallout games (Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas) told me I was…
I have spent dozens of hours playing through hundreds of Mario Maker courses. Here’s the cream of the crop. One of the biggest criticisms I’ve seen floating around for Mario Maker is that it’s really difficult to find good courses. While that may be true, it doesn’t mean Mario Maker is completely bereft of great…
Ronda Rousey and Floyd Mayweather may never wind up trading blows in real life. But, now we know who’d win if they were Street Fighter characters. YouTuber Richie Branson modded the PC version of Street Fighter IV so that he could make Balrog and Cammy resemble the UFC superstar and the dude she’s talked mad…
The main character of In Between isn’t going to live much longer. The only thing left is to make sense of it all. Just as in life, nothing is straightforward in In Between. The hand-painted indie game by dev studio Gentlymad is a platformer but it’s one where you can’t jump. Instead, players have directional…
If you started playing Destiny today, you may have noticed an unusual number of your friends doing the same ancient low-level mission. Why would they do that? The answer—of course this is the answer—is that the mission lets players take advantage of a new loophole and earn lots of powerful exotic items with a minimum…
There are so many good video games out right now, which means there’s so much good writing about video games, too. Worth Reading, our weekly guide to the best commentary and observations about games, is here to help. Hey, You Should Read These “Loving Your Enemies in Metal Gear Solid V” by Joshua Cauller Many…
In the board game world, the North American convention season is mostly over. Gen Con saw a unique attendance of almost 62,000 people and had slightly over 400 new games. The upcoming convention at Essen, Germany in October already has a list of almost 600 new games, and it is not done yet. With so…
