The latest DmC: Devil May Cry footage shows off some of the game’s platforming as well as the giant wall-crawler, Succubus. That’s not all. In the trailer, words like “die”, “obesity”, “stupidity” flash in the background. “Kill Dante” also appears. Subtle, no? (Then again, when has Devil May Cry been subtle?) Not subtle, sure, but…
Mother Nature is dangerous business. Weather reporters in Asia (and elsewhere) are often sent into the eye of a storm—if anything, just so they can show how severe the weather is. And a typhoons are pretty dang severe. On August 8, typhoon Haikui hit Hepu County in China, sadly leaving two dead in its wake.…
It’s not uncommon for video game companies to reference their own games in…their own games. But Yakuza 5, never one to turn down a tie-in, has something else: Yakuza 5 features another company’s game. Namco’s Taiko no Tatsujin appears in Sega’s upcoming gangster opus. When you visit an arcade in Yakuza 5, you can play…
You know him, you love him, he’s creepy. That’s right, the infamous “hentai” (perverted) Woody figure is back. Kaiyodo’s Sci-Fi Revoltech Series No. 10 Woody figure has returned to retail. This month, the figure re-launched, going on sale again in Japan. With creepy Woody back on the prowl, no plastic figurine is safe. Geek site…
Given the fact many publishers enjoy punishing PC players with sub-par ports, it’s nice to see Square Enix going the extra mile with the upcoming Sleeping Dogs. On day one, it’ll have a high-resolution texture pack available for download, a busier game world than the console versions and DirectX11 support. It’ll even play nice with…
The history. The purpose. The sound effects. The enormous write-up over on Halo Waypoint (linked below) has everything a series fan – or firearm fetishist – could ever want with regards to humanity’s weapons of choice. And if you don’t feel like reading? Here’s every UNSC gun in the game, shooting things in the face.…
It’s been done with Star Wars so, as is required by the laws of fandom, it must be done with Star Trek as well. This is, yet again, a remix of Call me Maybe, with short snippets of on-screen dialogue (from Next Generation only, mind you!) standing in for Carly Rae Jepsen’s vocals. I don’t…
The Ouya console, an ambitious attempt to turn what’s essentially an Android tablet into a tiny home console, has just seen is Kickstarter campaign draw to a close. The final tally? Oh, just a meagre $8,583,769. That’s from 63,303 backers, with by far the most popular funding option (with over 46,000 taking up the offer)…
As you know, Nintendo hasn’t always made video games. Before the dawn of the home entertainment era, the company made everything from love testers to fake LEGO to shooting galleries. Did you know, though, that amidst all that fun stuff, Nintendo also made a vacuum cleaner? This is it. The Nintendo Chiritorie. Released in 1979…
Lone Wolf & Cub, first published in Japan in the 1970s, remains one of the most popular and respected manga series of all time. The epic tale of Ogami Ittō, an assassin who travels across Japan with his young son Daigoro, has been turned into a number of movies and TV shows, but strangely, given…
The original BioShock was created using Epic’s Unreal Engine 3 2.5. Let’s imagine, though, just for a second, that it had instead been built using Crytek’s fancy new CryEngine 3. The same tech that powers Crysis 2, it would certainly have allowed for larger, more expansive depictions of Rapture than the 2007 original allowed. These…
Last year, Fine Art looked at Ashley Wood’s contribution to the Metal Gear universe with his scratchy, chaotic images. While those have become popular of late, for many long-time fans the man they think of first when they think of Metal Gear’s look is Yoji Shinkawa. Beginning his career on cult hit Policenauts, Shinkawa quickly…
Stuck playing on a crummy system and want to see how the Übermensch play Skyrim? Or, conversely, do you own a killer rig and want to see how the peasants make do? There’s a site for that. Nvidia have made this handy interactive slider, which lets you quickly and, in some cases, dramatically see the…
Valve’s new Source Filmmaker is being used to create an unbelievable amount of original content, sure, but there’s also scope for people to pay homage. Like LiveCurious95 has here, with this ode to the Matrix’s “rescue” scene, swapping out Agents with Medics and Keanus for Nicks. The Matrix Remaked (SFM) [YouTube, via @kpereira]
This afternoon’s great PopCap mystery may now be a little less mysterious: a Canadian industry source with ties to Electronic Arts has told Kotaku that a small team at EA’s Burnaby campus is working on a new entry in the Plants vs Zombies franchise. The thing is, it’s not another tower defence game. Apparently it’s…
Hello, baby. How are you today? I just wanted to tell you I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the things I’ve done, I’m sorry for the way I am. Let me make it up to you. Let me play you a love song on this plant I brought. This video of “Botanicus Interacticus,” comest to us…
Childhood nightmares are the worst. Everything poses an irrational danger and we don’t have the mental faculties to know that there isn’t something horrendous under the bed. But I bet if I had crazy sharp appendages like the cute little girl in They Bleed Pixels, I’d have felt more safe as a kid. She uses…
Artist Julien Bazinet likes Donkey Kong. He likes other things, too, like Doctor Who, Aliens and Sesame Street. And when you can render graphics as exceptionally as Bazinet, well, there’s certainly nothing from stopping you from implanting those latter things into Donkey Kong. The results are pretty great. I especially like the randomness of the…
“I could barely see my vision was so blurry and grey but I wasn’t going down without a fight. I squeezed off as many rounds from my .45 revolver into those blood thirsty monsters as I could manage. I dropped about 15 before I passed out from blood loss. I woke up to see more…
