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…

Comparing A Game That’s Coming Out On Both Xbox One/PS4 And 360/PS3

I couldn’t care how fancy the lighting is on a driving game or shooter on the next-gen systems, but one thing I have been looking forward to seeing is how my favourite sports games look on the Xbox One and PS4. Here’s FIFA 14, and at least in terms of appearance, it’s everything I wanted.…

Reminder: Sony’s E3 Conference Is Coming Up Soon

Both Microsoft and EA have had big showings so far, but there’s one more event to come. Sony’s taking to the stage at 6pm PDT to talk PlayStation 4. Will they, like Microsoft, name a price? Maybe, maybe not. What’s for sure is that there’ll be PS4 games on show. Some PS3 games, too. And,…

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…

First Xbox One Consoles Come With Fancy Controllers, Achievement

To let those who get the very first Xbox One consoles feel just that little bit more special, Microsoft will be including specially-branded controllers for those who reserve a “Day One” edition of the console. Available at “select retailers”, the controller includes a small graphic saying “DAY ONE 2013” in the centre of the pad.…

The Division‘s Dirty Money Reminds You to Use Plastic Next Time

Ubisoft just showed off The Division, in which future America is decimated by a plague transmitted through the currency—transmitted on Black Friday, no less. At the end of the presentation, Ubisoft rained down this pseudo-infected moolah on attendees. That sounds awful. The worst an E3 goer must deal with is extreme B.O. and swamp ass…

Check Out The Newest Trailers for Assassin’s Creed IV Right Here

Forget that pretty Errol Flynn stuff. The vision of pirate life that Ubisoft’s selling with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is a rowdy, ruthless roundeau of bloodletting. But it also looks like it’ll be lonely and pensive at moments, too.

Here’s How Ubisoft’s Massive Next-Gen Racing Game The Crew Works

Yesterday, I got to spend some time playing The Crew, Ubisoft’s ambitious next-gen, open world racing game. It looks, at first blush, like any other street-racing game from the last few years. And then you see the map. The humongous, size-of-America map. In this demo video, the game’s developers give a tour of The Crew‘s…

Ubisoft Has A Next-Gen, Open-World RPG (And It Looks Like New IP)

Ubisoft’s Massive Entertainment are working on a next-gen, online, open-world RPG called The Division. Set in a realistic, albeit bleak take on the near future, it’s a world in which our complex society and systems have broken down. The trailer, perhaps intentionally, looks a lot like that used last year to reveal Watch Dogs. Gameplay…

Trials Will Get Two New Games This Year, One on Mobile

Trials, the high-flying, controller-throwing, maddening moto-cross series from RedLynx, will get a next-generation version called Trials Fusion and a mobile version called Trials Frontier, Ubisoft just announced.

Here’s the trailer for Just Dance 4, the latest entry in Ubisoft’s makes-so-much-money-it’s-silly rhythm franchise. It’s coming to all next-gen platforms later this year.

Ubisoft’s Next-Gen Driving Game Is Called The Crew

Ivory Towers and Ubisoft Reflections (the team behind Driver: San Francisco) are working on a next-gen (and PC) racing game called The Crew. It’ll be out in 2014.

Rocksmith, Ubisoft’s real-guitar rhythm game, gets an update this October with Rocksmith 2014

Rabbids Invasion Turns Ubisoft’s Crazy Animals into a Playable TV Show

We found out a while back that Ubisoft was working to bring their screaming, gap-toothed party animals to broadcast TV. But, today they’ve revealed that the Rabbids Invasion show is being made in partnership with Nickelodeon and will feature interactive elements accessible via Xbox One.

Rayman Legends Totally Looks Likes It’ll Be Worth the Wait

Yes, everyone was mad when Ubisoft delayed Rayman Legends to port it over to other platforms. However, the bright side of the shift is apparent when you watch the video above. The signature cartoony look, slapstick humor and charming animation will be on more than just one console when the game comes out. All is…

South Park: The Stick of Truth Is Coming This Holiday

And it still looks amazing. Here’s a new trailer, brought to you by the fine folks at Obsidian, Ubisoft, and South Park Digital Studios.

Let’s see, we’ve gone through Microsoft and EA, who’s next? Ah yes, Ubisoft, bringing the Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed, plus whatever else they might have laying about. Splinter Cell? Rabbids?

Mirror’s Edge 2 was just announced. Online across the globe, gamers are excited. While many are looking forward to the sequel in Japan, there is a group of gamers there who are not thrilled with how the protagonist looks. This isn’t the first time gamers in Asian have objected to Faith’s appearance. Back in 2008,…
