I’m happy to report that I’m finally playing Demon’s Souls, my most anticipated next-gen game. While full impressions will require more time, let’s take a look at the various visual filters the game provides to players on PlayStation 5.

I’m playing The Pathless, and am concerned about my eagle. It can lift heavy weights, such as its human companion (me), which, while cool and necessary to the game’s progression, seems rather dangerous. It seems unfair that my bird is doing literally all the heavy lifting, carting my character’s no-doubt heavy ass all…

With Beyond Light, Destiny 2 is a lot more straightforward than it was just a week ago, in part due to all the content that just left the game and the existing loot that was just sunset. Still, there are some things that are easy to miss as you settle into exploring Jupiter’s second moon and learn how to harness the…

Viral videos are circulating on Twitter showing the newly-released Xbox Series X seeming to billow smoke. While this would certainly be cause for concern, others have pointed out possible causes besides the console burning up, and Spanish Twitter news account Xbox Studio demonstrated how easy the effect is to recreate…

Gears Tactics finds itself in an interesting position: In the absence created by Halo Infinite’s delay, Gears Tactics has become one of the major first-party games seeing an Xbox release this month. It’s a neat game that’s well worth your time. It’s also not exactly a system-seller.

William Hughes: This isn’t exactly news, but the last week has been an immensely distracting one for pretty much the entire planet. The U.S. national election has gobbled up ungodly amounts of attention, cognitive load, and “Oh god, are we fucked? Are they fucked? Who’s fucked?” energy from anyone whose lives might…

It’s time we finally check out the Ryzen 5 5600X, the most affordable Ryzen 5000 series processor announced to date. Positioned as a mainstream part, it’s coming in at $300, a 20% premium over the Ryzen 5 3600X. However this third-gen processor already didn’t make sense as it cost 25% more than the R5 3600 and offered…

Good morning children of the Alliance and welcome to Morning Music, Kotaku’s daily hangout for folks who love video games and the cool-ass sounds they make.. Today we’re vendoring trash, cleaning out our bank tabs, and disenchanting for dust as we prepare for the launch of World of Warcraft: Shadowlands with a musical…

To launch the PlayStation 5, Sony is holding a projection mapping event at Kanda Shrine in Tokyo.

Cult classic XIII, a cel-shaded shooter from 2003, has been remade, with the newer version out today. And boy, fans of the original are not happy with it.

Creed and Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan already has a PlayStation 5. Such is the life of a celebrity.

So far we’ve shown you how PS5 loads games very quickly and Xbox Series X and S load games very quickly. Long story short, both systems load next-gen games at ludicrous speeds while giving older games a little push. But in order to gauge how ludicrous is ludicrous, we needed to get a couple of next-gen games the two…

I like a lot of things about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. I like the setting. I like the new quest system. I like the changes to the loot system that frees my character from hauling dozens of the same sword. What’s also great? I can read the game’s lore text from my couch with ease.

Three separate games featuring the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) brand are currently in development, the organization announced today.

As we told you last month, Miles Morales—who in the recent animated film made Air Jordan 1s an iconic part of his entire character—has lost his Nike deal in exchange for an Adidas one. And it’s a definite downgrade.

Any time there are millions of people itching to play a new expansion, there’s bound to be difficulties. You might even call it Destiny... 2: Beyond Light’s rollout, which is happening right now. Today, Bungie’s sci-fi flavored entry in the “bad guys fall down, numbers go up” genre is within spitting distance of a new…
