Here’s some Jake “Snow-Covered Mountain” gameplay footage, complete with inevitable snowmobile action. Resident Evil 6 will be out this October.
Upcoming sci-fi title Lost Planet 3 shows off some of the gear in this new trailer. As someone pointed out on YouTube: If it’s so cold, why don’t these characters have headgear to keep their noggins warm?
Remember Dante’s twin brother, Vergil? Well, he used to look like this. Then, he showed up in DMC: Devil May Cry, and now, he looks like this. Dante used to look different, too, but who’s counting?
Here’s a rumor about Half-Life 3, via a game listing for this week’s Gamescom show. Here’s good reason to be skeptical
It’s called ResidentEvil.net, and according to Capcom, it’s “massive”. Launching with Resident Evil 6, the free site tracks all your game data—such as enemy kills, which weapons you dominate with, and your Mercenaries score, among others—to compare with Resident Evil 6 players all over the world. Besides allowing players to see how they stack up,…
Day one downloadable content sucks, I think. Personally, it makes me feel like a chump. But there must be a reason for it in games like Mass Effect 3, right? BioWare’s Fernando Melo has an explanation. Earlier this year, Kotaku broke the news that Mass Effect 3 had day one DLC. At a recent developer’s…
Last year, my favourite “game” of GamesCom had the working title Adrift. Set in a desolate, bleak vision of a future Paris, it was all about the trading of memories and some very sexy concept art Sadly, that’s about all it was. Hence the “game” business. This year, it’s back, and it’s back as a…
Celebrity chef Tatsuya Kawagoe is young, handsome, and an internet meme in Japan. The 40 year-old seems to have become an online gag because he’s a good-looking successful guy and sports what the Japanese call a “doyagao” (“self-satisfied look”; ドヤ顔). Besides owning restaurants and releasing his own sauces, Chef Kawagoe recorded a music single, which…
Capcom just announced ResidentEvil.net, which tracks game stats and compares with friends.
It’s summer! Time to head to the pool and the beach—with a bajillion other people. Here is a sample of what are apparently swimming spots in China. There doesn’t look like there’s much swimming going on. The images are a bit like looking at Pointillism paintings or video game sprites. If these photos amaze you,…
Dante’s brother, Vergil, is headed to DmC; Devil May Cry
Earlier this spring, I was at shopping mall in Osaka with my family. It was a typical day—a typical day that involved us hanging out at the Ultraman store While at the mall, we noticed that there was a LEGO event called “Build Up Japan”. Kids were asked to build futuristic structures—by asked, LEGO gave…
We have no idea how well the newest Star Wars game, 1313, plays. From what little of it we’ve seen, it appears to be your standard third-person, cover-based shooter. But boy does it look amazing. This trailer, the game’s first proper clip for public consumption, mixes footage we saw at E3 with some new stuff,…
Tokyo got a giant Gundam. Osaka? Osaka is getting a giant Gundam box. From August 15 to August 21, an enormous replica of Gundam model packaging is going up in Osaka Station. The structure measures 8.3 meters (27 feet) across. Inside, there will be an array of models on display. The goal is hopefully attract…
When you finish that pack of cigarettes, you’re left with more than filters and smelly clothes. There are also empty cigarette boxes—oh, and the possibility you’re getting an awful disease. But let’s ignore the health risks for a minute! Let’s just focus on those empty boxes, and the awesome fighter jets they can become. Recently…
Wargame: European Escalation, released on PC earlier this year, was great. Developed by the team behind RUSE, and very much in the spirit of the just-as-excellent World in Conflict, W:EE took us back to the Cold War with a gorgeous, intimate look at fictional tussle between NATO and the Soviet Bloc. Next year, it’ll be…
For the second time this week, “SuperDae” is trying to offload an alleged Xbox “Durango” development kit
David Vigil, who is a master leathersmith, is taking orders for an item he’s called “UNCHARTED 3: Nathan Drake Inspired Gun Holster”. While appearing to be entirely unlicensed by Sony, official blessing seems to be the only thing it’s lacking. Because it looks incredible. Based on, obviously, Drake’s shoulder holster from the third game in…
Nicola Adams, a boxer and freshly-minted Olympic gold medalist, is currently facing Britain’s media answering countless questions about her preparation, training, state of mind, reaction to winning, blah blah blah. I found one of her answers a little more interesting than the rest, though. Speaking with The Independent, Adams says that the night before her…
These days, Rockstar are known as a publisher with a reputation for very slick marketing, especially when it comes to their flagship series, Grand Theft Auto. Things weren’t always as “cool”, though. As this advertisement from 1997, for the very first game in the series, shows. Run before Rockstar was even known as Rockstar, it’s…look,…
