Quantic Dream’s Dark Sorcerer Is Hellishly Funny

Gran Turismo 6 Looks Amazing—On the PlayStation 3

This video for Gran Turismo 6 makes it hard to remember that this is, ahem, “just” a current-generation console game. New physics engine, new tire modeling, new aerodynamics model, I can nod my head approvingly and pretend I know what all that means, really. A new rendering engine> Adoptive tesselation? Just keep nodding and smiling.

This Is What The PlayStation 4 Looks Like

Sony didn’t really reveal the PS4 at its February unveiling, because the PS4 itself wasn’t shown. Maybe the design wasn’t ready, maybe Sony was just holding out, doesn’t matter, because today we finally got a look at the thing. It’s a black box. Just like you asked for! One that some will say looks like…

I Can Get Behind This Xbox One Game’s Use of the Cloud

It’s easy to be skeptical that Xbox One developer’s claims that their games will benefit from cloud computing. But, today, I talked to one and I like what he had to say. This was an impromptu chat. I was at Spike TV’s all-day All-Access E3 venue, sitting in the green room and waiting for my…

Disney Wants To Win Every E3 Award Category — With One Game

Disney Infinity might be another toy-based game tugging at the wallets of incorrigible children, but it’s one with a hell of a lot of spunk. I hereby award it Kotaku‘s Most Ambitious Trailer of E3 2013 Award, which I just made up.

Assassin’s Creed IV Sure Looks Impressive. But I’m Still Wary.

At this point, there may be no hands-off preview I’m less willing to trust than an Assassin’s Creed demo. Last year, Assassin’s Creed III just looked so good, so full of potential… and the final product was a mess. So when I went and watched a big chunk of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag in…

Ubisoft’s Next-Gen Racing Game Is Always Online. They Explain Why.

Ubisoft’s just-announced The Crew is an ambitious, impressive-looking game. A Need for Speed-like street racing game with a ton of singleplayer and multiplayer options, set on a ridiculously massive map that spans from Los Angeles to New York City. But if you want to play it, you’re going to need an internet connection. Yesterday at…

Battlefield 4’s Singleplayer Footage Looks Bananas

Like it or not, EA’s Battlefield series is once again trying to take a bite out of Call of Duty with a singleplayer campaign. Whether it gets any more enjoyable, we won’t know until we play it. But they at least seem to be going overboard on the spectacle, as we see here with a…sinking…
