This fall, the PlayStation 4 will finally be released. Enjoy that physical media playing game console thingy! As one game producer says, it could be the last of its kind for PlayStation. In a recent interview in Famitsu, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada of Namco Bandai talked a bit about the future of the PlayStation, its…
Can someone please help the North Korean government out? The propaganda ministers stink at Photoshop. Please get them to sign up for a class at their local community college. Or maybe Dennis Rodman can help. As frightening as North Korea can seem, honestly, the country’s inability to master the art of Photoshop should leave doubts…
I admit, I am one of those who is constantly annoyed that, constrained only by the limits of our imagination, we continually produce “realistic” looking games that have a color palette dominated by browns, grays, and blacks. So I am ecstatic whenever a game like Arcadias no Ikusahime comes along. The backgrounds are beautifully rendered…
For years, big anime-style eyes have been popular in Japan. Now, one Japanese fashion mag is introducing “doll style make up.” Please don’t catch on. Please. The make-up is designed to make your eyes look like a plastic doll’s. The image, via Twitter user @yun___yu, is from Popteen, which is one of Japan’s most popular…
In 1974, before Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Gundam, and Macross, there was Space Battleship Yamato (or Starblazers as it was known in the U.S.). Now nearly four decades later the series has returned with the reboot Space Battleship Yamato 2199—a reboot that easily makes for the best space opera in more than half a decade.…
When recently asked if Nintendo was planning on putting out titles on smartphones, company honcho Satoru Iwata replied, “Nobody knows the distant future. Or if I’ll be president. However, what I can say is, ‘At present, no.'”
Dragon Quest is coming to smartphones in a big way. Square Enix is bringing Dragon Quest I to Dragon Quest VIII to iOS and Android. Look forward for the onslaught to start this winter when Dragon Quest I is re-released in Japan. Subsequent sequels to follow. No word about a Western release.
These days movies are all about CG graphics. They’re closer to video games than good-old fashioned analog film. So we’ll leave it to real life to accidentally dazzle us with amazing stunts. This black box video was taken in a South Korean parking lot. It starts slow, but please, stick with it. 서커스를 하시는 김여사…
Remove one piece of chocolate from a chocolate bar. Swap two other pieces, and voilà, you have what sure seems like an endless supply of chocolate. Of course, it’s not. The above GIF, created from this video by YouTube user Mariano Tomatis, shows how the trick appears to result in the same-sized chocolate bar. However,…
First airing in Japan in the 1990s, Pokémon is a very, well, Japanese cartoon. Let’s imagine for a second, though, that it had been released in the 1990s in the United States. Instead of King of the Hill. Or inside King of the Hill. Pretty sure I wouldn’t need another show on TV. Poké-King-of-the-Mon-Hill [YouTube]
The guys who made the terrifying Amnesia are making a new game, a game with robots in it. We know little about it, but it does not look like things will be going well Why? Because this is the kind of video you see as evidence, after the robot repairs itself and someone else finds…
Beautiful LEGO is a new book by Mike Doyle that, well, you can probably guess what it’s about. Doyle has interviewed some of the world’s best LEGO builders for the book, and its 260 pages are packed with all kinds of different works, from intricate buildings to pop culture homages to original designs. For the…
Last week, the guys at BLR (with help from some WETA artists) released one of the most incredible pieces of sci-fi animation this planet has ever seen. Keloid. Let’s bask in the afterglow, then, with some art from the guys who designed the killer robots. While some of the design was handled in-house, two WETA…
On the weekend, SNK issued a press release saying that the Neo Geo X handheld – a re-release of the company’s famous home console – was done for. Only a few days later, the company licensing the handheld from SNK says nope, we’ll keep selling it. In case you couldn’t tell from the original SNK…
Weird animation issues? Check. Crazy civilians? Check. Australians buying drugs and…wait a minute. Only once has the GTA series left American shores. I can’t see it happening again, and if it did, it won’t come to Australia. But a man can dream. And so can these guys. The Thing About GTA V… [Max & Sam]
The short answer is “too much”. The long answer is: over 800 pounds for a Grand Theft Auto character, and when it comes to Minecraft, holy shit. If you didn’t know that you could carry 25% of the total gold ever mined by the human species on your back, well, now you know. How Much…
When will the internet tire of cosplay from Avatar, Skyrim, League of Legends, Attack on Titan, Zelda, Portal and Assassin’s Creed? Never, that’s when. Below is the best cosplay from the last week. Enjoy! (Top gif from Epic Win Bros video.) To see the larger pics in all their glory (or, if they’re big enough,…
Put explosions and decent physics in a game and you can be sure people will spend a lot of time making some very impressive things blow up. In this case, over 100 cars at a time, in what we can call a fiery display of metal-and-upholstery fireworks. If you’re wondering how it was done, creator…
If you recently watched Alfonso Cuaron’s marvelous outer-space odyssey Gravity, you probably walked out of the theater with your mind just a little bit blown. Or, if you’re renowned astrophysicist and science distributor Neil deGrasse Tyson, you came out and decided to kill everyone’s buzz by nitpicking the film. Heads up, some of these tweets…
