UncategorizedThe Sketchiest Graphics I Saw On PS4 Today
“Write something nice,” David Jaffe said to me as I started playing Drawn To Death, his team’s forthcoming free-to-play competitive multiplayer game for PS4. “I can’t just write about it,” I told him. “I want people to see this.” I had already seen Drawn To Death’s unusual pen-sketches-in-a-notebook art style in videos months ago, but…

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.
