UncategorizedGetting The Rights To Shenmue Was Easier Than You’d Think
The creator of the beloved open world games says all he had to do was ask. “They felt safe giving me the license to make the next one,” Yu Suzuki told me yesterday. Really, who else was Sega going to give it to? Usually, when folks want to revive long-dormant video game franchises, they have…

So, Kanye West Is At E3 Too
And he’s wearing a Persona 4: Dancing All Night badge, no less. Guess he just settled the debate on who the best Persona girl is (that’s Rise on the badge!) Looks like he’s making his way through the convention already, too:

UncategorizedSuper Mario Maker’s Online Features Sound Really Cool
Nintendo isn’t exactly known for its on-point social features. But based on what they’ve shared on Mario Maker thus far, it really seems like they’re going to nail it this time.

You Won’t Be Able To Use Guns In Mirror’s Edge Catalyst
Oh thank goodness. During EA’s E3 press conference, the company said that Faith “doesn’t need any guns,” which prompted a collective sigh of relief so powerful that it nearly leveled the city of Los Angeles. However, there was still doubt. She might not need them, but would guns—perhaps the single worst aspect of the original…

UncategorizedHow A Killer Heroes Of The Storm Combo Is Born
The most devastating attacks in a MOBA are the ones a team executes in unison. But that also means they’re all the trickier to pull off. After weeks of practice, one Heroes of the Storm player finally nailed a new ultra-powerful maneuver he’s calling the “Prison Bus.” Rekt. Heroes player and YouTuber Woundar posted his…

UncategorizedThings Are Looking Grim For Beyond Good & Evil 2
Shenmue III? Check. Final Fantasy VII remake? Check. The Last Guardian? Check. Beyond Good & Evil 2? Well, it’s complicated, but it’s not sounding good. The last official footage released from Beyond Good & Evil 2 was a teaser trailer at E3 2009: A few years later, leaked footage from the game seemed to surface.…

UncategorizedEverything We Could Find Out About That New Metroid Game
E3 2015’s top head-scratcher so far: Why would Nintendo bring back their dormant Metroid franchise, a series known for fairly quiet, careful solo sci-fi exploration, with a multiplayer shooter that’s also a sports game? Good thing I had a half hour with the game’s producer to find out. Meet Kensuke Tanabe, veteran producer and designer…

UncategorizedStreet Fighter’s Ridiculous New Breasts Are A Glitch, Capcom Says
If you’ve seen recent Street Fighter V footage from E3 you’ve probably noticed something a little different about Chun Li. People are remarking that because Chun Li’s breasts act as if they were made out of jello, Street Fighter has gone “full Dead or Alive” in the upcoming sequel. This is not actually the case,…

UncategorizedEverything About LEGO Dimension‘s Portal Trailer Is Really Great
I would have said awesome, but she’s watching us. She’s always watching us. Oh GLaDOS, it’s so good to have you back, even in LEGO form—perhaps especially in LEGO form.

Dark Souls 3 Isn’t The Last Game, Devs Say
When Bandai Namco announced Dark Souls 3, it called the sequel the “final episode,” suggesting Dark Souls was coming to an end. At E3, however, the developers said it wasn’t true. Though Dark Souls 3 isn’t coming until early 2016, a brief gameplay snippet was shown to press at E3. Additionally, series creator Hidetaki Miyazaki…

UncategorizedFinal Fantasy VII Scenes That Would Look Crazy In The Remake
The announcement trailer of Final Fantasy VII’s remake showed a slightly darker and more realistic world compared to the 1997 game. And with an aesthetic like that it’s almost impossible to imagine how some of the crazier parts of the original game would look. Take Cloud’s cross-dressing scene for example and compare it to the…

The Six Most Interesting Games I Played On E3 Day One, Ranked
At its worst, E3 is like a restaurant where the chef makes you watch a video of the meal he intends to make and then asks you to come back next year when it’s ready. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, the chef will prepare a sample of the food and then let you watch him eat…

UncategorizedRock Band 4 Preorders Begin, Time To Hunt For Old Instruments
The next generation of Rock Band launches October 6, and instrument bundles now up for preorder—$130 for the guitar and $250 for guitar, mic and drums. Sounds like a good time to hunt for used instruments! I know, I know—stop preordering games. While Luke Plunkett hates the practice with a passion, I still find it…

Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event Sure Disappointed Lots of Folks
It’s not just in the English-speaking part of the internet that felt letdown. The Japanese-speaking part wasn’t exactly blown away, either. This year, Nintendo held a Digital Event for E3. There was news (like here, here, and here), and while some fans were happy (puppets!), many were not. No wonder Kotaku named it one of…
