When Horizon: Zero Dawn was announced at E3 by the makers of Killzone, what most people focused on were the big robot dinosaurs. Which, you know…fair enough. But the landscape and skies are bringing something awesome to the table too. Let’s take a look. Spotted by GearNuke, Guerrilla Games recently posted a huge presentationthat broke…
Flywrench is a simple video game, but you will die a great many times. Yet like Super Meat Boy or N++, the controls are so good, you can’t help but blame yourself. When a game controls well, there’s nothing else like it. You feel one with the game, and the controller begins to fade away.…
I’m obsessed enough about pro wrestling to have spent $340 to go to Summerslam this past weekend…. to sit in $75 nosebleed seats, since my order for floor seats apparently never went through. That was the second of three nights of sold out WWE action that I saw in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, 12+ hours of…
“It’s just really satisfying, it’s the most satisfying feeling I’ve ever had in my life. As I said in the post-game interview, it’s the best day of my life, because…everyone in the community makes a joke, makes a mockery of CLG, and mockery of me, and tells me I can’t do it.” Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng…
In just a couple of weeks, Peter Dinklage will no longer be in Destiny. Let’s take a moment to remember him. A couple of weeks ago Bungie announced that Dinklage’s character, Ghost, would be recast for the upcoming Taken King expansion. In addition, Bungie is taking the unusual step of having Ghost’s new actor, voiceover…
Gears of Wars: Ultimate Edition has folks getting nostalgic. Designer Cliff Bleszinski, who left Epic Games in 2012, used Twitter last night to share behind-the-scenes details about the game. As it turns out, several aspects of the series were inspired by the collapse of his first marriage. You’ll want to scroll through Bleszinski’s Twitter account…
I don’t think first-person would necessarily make The Witcher 3 a better game, but damn this looks cool. The mod, created by insane0hflex, adds two new horseback perspectives to The Witcher 3: over-the-shoulder and first-person. Both are neat, but I don’t know; there’s something about seeing The Witcher 3’s war-torn world up-close-and-personal—through Geralt’s man-cat eyes—that…
Some PlayStation 4 owners are having trouble playing their digitally pre-ordered copies of Until Dawn, and Sony says it’s looking into it. “Our store team is currently investigating the issue,” the company wrote on its support forums.Bummer. Contact the author at [email protected]
Do you play League of Legends on the North America servers? Have you played since they moved to Chicago? If the game is running well—or better than it was before—let us know. If you’re having any connection issues, let us know that, too! We want to get a sense of how League is running post-move.…
When Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China came out last spring with a sound-nothing-alike voice actor growling through the handful of lines scripted for iconic franchise hero Ezio, a series superfan who goes by the name Loomer could have done nothing. But no. He’s gone and fixed things with the help of Ezio’s original voice actor. Even…
Remember Starbound, the huge 2D exploration/building game that landed on Early Access a couple years ago? Well, it just got a massive update. It adds the ability to construct NPC-populated colonies. There are also 400 new micro-dungeons and improvements to pretty much every part of the game.
If this is Hideo Kojima’s last Metal Gear trailer, he’s going out with a bang. My personal history with the franchise is complicated; loved the first and third games, couldn’t get into the second and fourth games. The deeper Metal Gear dug into its mythology, the more it pushed me away. (It’s weird, too, since…
Here’s a tease of what Nolan North’s rendition of Ghost sounds like in Destiny. I don’t know about you, but it sounds pretty similar to Dinklebot to me. Which probably means that the original Ghost sounds the way it does because of Bungie’s direction, not Peter Dinklage. Oh yeah, and there’s stuff about The Taken…
Zombie-killing fans have been hearing a lot about the purportedly very large expansion pack for this year’s surprisingly excellent game Dying Light. But we haven’t actually seen that much of it yet. Developer Techland put out a 15 minute gameplay video for the DLC today, and it looks, well, game-changing. You can watch the whole…
It’s been almost a decade since the first Gears of War came out on Xbox 360. During that time, many games borrowed Gears’ best ideas, and the series became one of the most influential of the last generation. I’ve spent the last week playing through Gears Of War: Ultimate Edition, an Xbox One and PC…
Just after Sony revealed its PlayStation Plus lineup, Microsoft has announced which free games (assuming you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription!) are coming to Xbox One and Xbox 360 next month. It’s not a surprise Microsoft would want to have more people playing Tomb Raider, given it’s invested in Rise of the Tomb Raider…
Galak-Z is coming to mobile devices next year, developer 17-bit announced today. How does a twitchy action game work with a touch screen? We’ll have to wait and see, but Galak-Z: Variant Mobile will apparently be heavily modified to work without a controller. You can reach the author of this post at [email protected] or on…
The creator of Five Nights at Freddy’s is not taking a break, but he doesn’t want the community to, either. He’s a little disappointed in them, actually, and threatening to not open “the box.” Scott Cawthon wrote a brief update on Steam last night, teasing what’s coming in October. Hardcore fans will have new challenges…
Heads up to Heroes of the Storm players: in case you’re wondering where the Battlefield of Eternity map went, Blizzard took it out of rotation because of an issue that “can cause games to crash.” Also, a Blizzard rep told me that thenext Diablo map is coming out tomorrow. Fresh meat! UPDATE (3:26 pm): The…
The most interesting unreleased video game I’ve played this year is an adventure called Twelve Minutes. It involves living and dying in the course of 12 minutes, all of them spent in a three-room apartment. Then your character wakes up back in time with a memory of what happened and tries to survive those 12…
