Granblue Fantasy is huge in Japan. Enormous. The game is a smash hit. It’s been downloaded over five million times, and there’s a newly announced anime. Yet, you’ve probably never heard of Granblue Fantasy. Maybe you have! This free-to-play PC and mobile game has quite a pedigree. It has music from former Final Fantasy composer…
While a lot of people are hyped about the upcoming HD remake of Resident Evil 2, many may have forgotten that another Resident Evil is getting a good old HD upgrade. [Update: Originally this article called the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake a “remaster.” This typo has been fixed] Today at TGS I sat down…
You just thought the people making Final Fantasy XV sat inside all day in front of computers? They probably do! But sometimes, they go outside and do stuff in the name of FFXV. Adventurous stuff. The above clip shows the FFXV team as they looked for real-world locations for Final Fantasy XV. Besides being skilled…
When Street Fighter IV was released in 2008, it hit arcades first. Today at the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom told Kotaku that there are currently no plans for an arcade version for Street Fighter V. Even in Japan.
There’s Ryu, and there’s Hot Ryu. The bearded Street Fighter character elicited quite a reaction with his grizzled chin. And don’t be surprised if there are more bearded SFV characters on the way. Today at the Tokyo Game Show, Capcom’s Matt Dahlgren told Kotaku that Ryu’s beard does factor into Street Fighter V’s story. But…
Hyrule Warriors Legends, the upcoming enhanced 3DS port of Wii U title Hyrule Warriors was playable for the first time at the Tokyo Game Show this week. The TGS demo shows off a lot of the new content not seen in the Wii U game. The level itself is an original and allows players to…

Making adaptations is tricky! Fans get upset if things are different. Koei Tecmo has a workaround: Don’t change stuff! At least, in the first game. The upcoming Attack on Titan game comes as the Japanese film industry’s take on the popular manga has been poorly received among audiences. The live-action TV show wasn’t much better.…
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has just publisheda statement on the company’s Facebook page saying that Star Fox Zero for the Wii U has been delayed. Bummer. The statement reads: I made a big decision last week. We have been developing Star Fox Zero for Wii U with the aim of releasing it this year. Although we…
This is André Schürrle. He’s a very, very good footballer. A lot of people would recognise him as a star for both Wolfsburg and the World Champion German national team. This German web TV host, however, did not. Sofia Kats, from gaming channel Rocket Beans TV, was pranked by her colleagues into doing the interview,…

Here’s a weird thing. The PC version of Metal Gear Solid V, a Konami game running on the Fox Engine, looks great! The PC version of Pro Evolution Soccer 2016, also a Konami game running on the Fox Engine, is the worst. On PS4 and Xbox One, the game looks fantastic! I’ve been playing it…
If you’d told me on New Year’s Eve 2014 that my two favourite games of the next year would be a Witcher and Metal Gear title, I’d have laughed, then frowned, then walked off to talk to someone who wasn’t clearly crazy. I mean, the Witcher games were a mess! Clunky controls, confusing UI, an…
Against all odds, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, a decade-old game, keeps getting official updates. After a big out-of-nowhere update a couple months ago that added snazzy modern features like Steam Workshop support, ultra-high resolutions, and cloud saves, the (best) Star Wars role-playing game is getting even more achievements. There’s a twist,…
Yep, this is a level in which the creator turned Mario’s glorious star into a player’s worst nightmare. It’s early days for Super Mario Maker, which means people are still figuring out what makes a Mario stage tick. It’ll take time before we see what people are truly capable of, but I’m already impressed by…
The bomb. Counter-Strike matches revolve around it. Suddenly, it’s different, and that changes a lot of things. As part of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive’s latest big update, Valve added a bunch of new animations to the more-popular-than-several-million-high-school-jocks-assembled-into-one-mega-jock multiplayer shooter. Some just make the game look nicer (or worse, depending on who you talk to), but the…
One of the biggest secrets in Metal Gear Solid V may not actually be possible—but that’s not stopping players from coming together and trying to achieve it anyway. First, some background. Yesterday I wrote about a hidden ending of sorts that players found while datamining the game on PC. It looks like this, uploaded courtesy…
At the end of the original Star Wars movie, Luke Skywalker had a lightsaber and not much else. The old man who started to mentor him died at the hands of the Empire’s most feared enforcer and he didn’t know anything about the legacy he was supposed to continue. This week’s Star Wars comic shows…
Are you a Destiny player with no interest in buying The Taken King? You might want to find another game to play. As it turns out, The Taken King doesn’t just add a ton of excellent new stuff to Bungie’s ambitious MMO-shooter—it also locks out much of the old content both in PVE and PVP.…
