You know how textbook illustrations often look old fashioned? Time to get out those pens and markers and bring them into the 21st century! Sometimes the dated illustrations are due to the subject matter or other times they’re because of the age of the book itself. For the past couple of years, students in South…
There are small dioramas, and then there are these. They are teeny. Using putty, plastic, and a whole bunch of patience, a NicoNico user named ” A” created miniature versions of Pallet Town from Pokémon Red, Hyrule from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and the Bob-omb Battlefield from Super Mario 64 To give…
This Thunderlord exotic machine gun is the work of Kirby Downey (via Dualshockers). As he explains on his My Mini Factory page, the whole thing is built from 45 separate parts. This post originally appeared on Kotaku UK I thoughtthis 3D-printed Destiny fusion rifle was cool, but this thing? Next. Level. He used three materials…

Here’s a 15-minute trailer for Yakuza Zero, the latest entry in a fantasticseries that Sega, in its infinite wisdom, has not announced for a Western release. Watch it, then sigh deeply, as though the very earth itself was despairing through your mortal lungs.
Georg Hilmarsson is a senior concept artist at CCP, the developers of EVE Online. So the art you’re about to see features, spoilers, a lot of spaceships from EVE Online. You can see more of Georg’s art at his ArtStation site andFacebook page To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re…
If you have any video game coffee table books, they’re probably about concept art, or maybe even cosplay. But Every Day is Play is a little different. It’s just about games, and nice art, and how that art (and our enjoyment of it) is just a really cool way to celebrate video games. Originally a…
To help sell the fancy Metal Slime edition of the PS4, Sony has released this Japanese commercial. And it’s fantastic. Dragon Quest fans will love the little touches in this. If there was an option to buy a ridiculously heavy, hand-crafted steel PS4, I would seriously consider it. Just not sure how I’d get it…
Halloween makes people do strange things—for instance dress up in costumes and beg for candy from people who might be murderers. Sometimes it also makes them create Team Fortress 2 cheat plugins that teleport players between Halloween items, which ruins the game. It’s a trick alright, but it’s definitely not a treat. Team Fortress 2‘s…

I really like Sony’s DualShock 4 controller. I use it a lot, both for playing games on PS4 and also, lately, for PC games. But there is one aspect I’m not wild about: Those slippery thumbsticks. I like how the thumbsticks respond—they’re nice and springy, and are a good height. But I don’t love the…
Maybe because it’s never got a modern remake, maybe it’s because you wore a silly red helmet, but EA’s Crusader: No Remorse has never got the love and respect it deserves from a 21st century world. Maybe that’ll change now that everybody can play the game for free. First released in 1995, it’s an isometric…
Steam Greenlight was originally envisioned as a way for fans to help select which games would make it onto Valve’s ridiculously ubiquitous PC gaming storefront. Unfortunately, it’s kinda busted sometimes. A group of game creators has decided to take matters into their own hands by gaming the system. Kinda. Indie GameDev Greenlight is a recently…
Expect EA to release Star Wars: Battlefront late next year—the publisher just announced that DICE’s Star Wars game will be out in “holiday 2015.” Battlefield 5 (yes, 5!) will be out holiday of 2016, EA said.
If you are a robot, and you play Hearthstone, I’ve got bad news for you: you’re probably banned. (Also, thanks for reading Kotaku. Please consider keeping us employed when you enslave humanity.) Humans who use bots are out of luck too; Blizzard announced today that they’ve just finished banningthousands of accountsthat have been linked to…
It’s seemed like there’s been a perpetual tsunami of hype ever since the first Iron Man movie hit theaters years ago. But the announcements that Marvel made today about its upcoming slate of superhero movies included the names that some fans have been been waiting a long time to hear: Black Panther and Captain Marvel.…
Jeez, it only took decades, but two of the finest space combat games – not to mention best Star Wars games – of all time are about to get a re-release. Special downloadable versions of both X-Wing and Tie Fighter will soon be released on Good Old Games. They’ll be $10 each. For that price…
The Astro A50 has long been the gaming headset of choice for anyone who could justify the cost, including you. While the old Astro A50 and A40 will probably stick around, Astro is creating new variants specifically tuned for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
