Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida took to the PlayStation Blog comments section to answer multiple questions, Eurogamer points out.
Around five years ago (or so), it was a bit of a thing in Japan for game companies to release mousepads, featuring female characters with large breasts for PC users to rest their hands on. So no surprises here with these upcoming Dead or Alive 5 mousepads—nor is it surprising to see them pop up…
During my sixth grade year, two things happened that would change the direction of my life forever: I saw my first anime (Lodoss War) and I played my first RPG (Final Fantasy VI). Both were gateways to expansive realms filled with amazing stories. And in my adolescent mind, a dream coalesced, “What if you combined…
Years ago, game studio BioWare said Mass Effect 3 would be Shepard’s last. Now, BioWare is saying that, yep, it was serious. That’s it, no more Commander Shepard in Mass Effect 4—or whatever the heck the game’s eventually called. Speaking with game site VG247, BioWare Montreal producer Fabrice Condominas said, “There is one thing we…
Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the most famous—and polarizing—anime ever created. And it always seems to fall into one of three categories: Anime fans love it, hate it, or love it but hate the ending. Now we are just under a month away from the release of Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo—easily the…
Square Enix just launched a teaser site for an upcoming collaboration with Hangame.
This poor, totally adorable animal! Chinese micro-blogger Toshiya86 uploaded a series of “cat cosplay”, featuring her feline Guagua and cardboard. This is the result. These photos depict Guagua as a variety of characters and were originally uploaded earlier this year, but are now appearing on Japanese sites like Karapaia. The characters include Kiki from Kiki’s…
Remember that Sega striptease countdown clock from September? The one that was leaked early? Well, it was for an iOS game called Demon Tribe. Here’s the debut trailer. デーモントライヴ プレビュームービー [YouTube] Kotaku East is your slice of Asian internet culture, bringing you the latest talking points from Japan, Korea, China and beyond. Tune in every morning…
In the West, China’s net cafes get a lot of bad press—often only getting ink when a gamer dies or a fight breaks out. But as Kotaku’s Beijing-based writer Eric Jou reported, they’re not necessarily bad places. Here’s a look at some of the more colorful moments (including a few game expo snaps), collected by…
An Australian group called IRL Shooter will at the end of the month be holding an event called “Patient Zero“, which is basically aimed at giving you the experience of playing a zombie shooter, only in real life. Starting October 31 in Melbourne, for AUD$125 you’ll get access to the “game”, which sounds a lot…
The Halo 4 launch trailer was predictably big budget, but what I found most interesting was how human they made Master Chief look. We usually just see him as a giant hulking killing machine, all armour and visor, but Tim Miller and David Fincher’s clip goes right ahead and actually takes the mask off the…
Has it been over a year since we looked in on the wonderful Iconoclasts? It has? Better fix that, then. The game, while still a while from being finished, is playable. By you, that is. You can go download an alpha build over on the game’s site As with creator Joakim Sandberg’s Noitu Love, it’s…
I started in this job nearly six years ago. If you’d told me back then I’d be writing a headline like that in 2012, I’d have either laughed or given you a real strange look. Not to give Fincher all the credit, it was actually directed by Tim Miller, normally a visual effects man (Scott…
Oh, cool. Eighteen months since we saw it last, adventure game Kentucky Route Zero returns with a new art style. Shame about that whole “A 2011 Game To Anticipate” thing, though, since it’s now an episodic title that’ll mostly release throughout 2013, but for a “bluegrass adventure game” that looks this hot I’ll wait until…
In an honest and upfront piece over on serious news outlet Something Awful, the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, has explained the reasons behind his country’s highly unpopular (with XCOM leaders) withdrawal from the XCOM project. While a “tragic incident at the gas station” seems to have been the straw that broke this camel’s back,…
Online shooter Planetside 2 will launch on November 20
Taken from a hands-on session with the game, here’s an Assassin’s Creed III hiccup that we can only hope makes it into the final game. UPDATE—Seems it’s part of the game’s debug mode, which lets the devs get around the map quickly. It’s an unfair advantage, sure, but this is a sci-fi series at heart.…
Zombie survival mod DayZ only shipped with one map. It’s a big one, but once you’ve crawled all over it, you may want to crawl all over somewhere new Why not try Namalsk, a fan-made map originally built for ArmA II (the game the DayZ mod is based on) but now made compatible with zombies…
Correct me if I’m wrong, Americans, but I’ve long been under the impression Halloween is mostly a thing for kids. Unless you’ve got, like, some themed college party to go to and….oh. OK, now I see where these come in. Yandy has released this insane series of adult “Gamer Costumes” based on famous characters, each…
I know, we’ve looked at Dishonored once already here on Fine Art, but today is a little different, because we not only have some images from quite literally the game’s drawing board stage, but also some commentary on them from Sebastien Mitton, Arkane’s art director. Did you know, for example, that the game’s “Tallboy” units…
