Dark Souls II is not just about the constant trial and error and boss mechanics. You can easily go wild with its character creator and do amazing things, just like Beemo did. Mon Dieu, this one’s fancy! Dark Souls II [Steam Community] Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs every morning, showcasing some of the…

The next PS4 update happens on April 30 and it’s going to be one of those BIG ones. The 1.70 firmware will be bringing pre-loading and the much-ballyhooed ShareFactory functionality to the console, as well as the ability to turn HDCP off so that recording devices can capture gameplay video.

Console-Exclusive Metal Gear Missions Are No Longer Exclusive

Starting May 1, the platform-specific content in Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes will become platform agnostic, publisher Konami announced today. Up until now, PlayStation and Xbox players both got slightly different Ground Zeroes experiences, since both versions of the game came with a unique mission. PlayStation 3 and 4 players were the only ones…

Battlefield 4 Should Have One Less Problem Soon

After months of scrambling to fix a plethora of technical issues that were keeping fans from going online and actually playing Battlefield 4, series developer DICE announced Friday morning that it’s officially bringing out the big guns to try and fix the game’s problems once and for all. The furor over Battlefield 4’s initial connectivity…

Here’s the new trailer for Mad Max, the upcoming car combat game based on the memorable series of eighties-era post-apocalyptic movies that starred Mel Gibson before he became a crazy person. The video mostly focuses on the cars, which all look pretty in the rusty post-apocalyptic sort of way, and suggests that players will be…

The Best (Last?) Hope for a Good Alien Game

There’s a reason that the first word in the next game based on 20th Century Fox’s sci-fi horror franchise is singular. Alien: Isolation will be taking its cues from Ridley Scott’s slower, more atmospheric 1979 original. That means no space marines and no P5000 power loader. Just you and one big, scary Xenomorph. Which you…

Artist Patrick Brown captured the mood of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes perfectly in his fan piece. I just love the guard tower’s lighting and the rain effects on the ground. Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes by Patrick Brown [DeviantART] Dayshot is an image-based feature that runs every morning, showcasing some of the…

PlayStation Home Now Lets You Give Out Creepy Hugs

Well, this is weird—a bunch of new two-player gestures have been released for PlayStation Home by nDreams, including the “lovers hug” and chest-bumping alongside creepy handholding and, um, massages. PlayStation Home is so incredibly strange, and not just because all the faces are subtly wrong. I bet the story of its development is fascinating. One…

Real PS4 Screenshots Justify All That ‘Next-Gen’ Hype

Back when the PS4 and Xbox One were announced, “next-gen” meant a lot of things to a lot of people. Smarter games, bigger games, different games, more ways to play with your friends. But it also meant that games would look a whole lot better. It could sometimes be hard to tell just what that…

How Much It Costs To Mortgage An Xbox One And PS4

Video games are an expensive habit. And few things are pricier than being an early adopter for a next-gen console like the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. So if you’re really itching to dive into some quality PS4 or Xbox One games, are you better off renting one system or the other and paying it…

Every Swear Counted in GTA V‘s NSFW Supercut

YouTuber TheMediocreScot spent 5 months to prove that GTA V drops the F-Bomb more times than anything else with a 12-minute-long NFSW montage. That’s a total of 1018 f*cks throughout the game’s 69 story missions. 14.75 per mission. Fantastic. GTA V: Swear Count [YouTube, via r/GrandTheftAuto] To contact the author of this post, write to:…

Here’s the first trailer for GRID Autosport, the next installment in Codemasters’ racing series. You can read all about the game’s features in the blog post accompanying the trailer (including how Autosport has not one, but two in-car camera views). Lands on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on June 27.

Dating Sims Improved My Japanese

When I announced my intention to date a virtual girl in the newest iteration of Love Plus by asking all of you to help me choose which romantic foil to go after, I noted that it would not be my first dating sim. Moreover, I mentioned that dating sims are the best tool I know…

Yep, Infamous: Second Son looks really nice. Last week when Sucker Punch released that super cool Photo Mode for their game, I had a feeling videos like this one would start turning up. And lo and behold, here we are. This video comes to us from Epic Rabbit via Pixelated Cody. When I talked about…

​The PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset: Not Bad For A Hundred Bucks

The PlayStation Gold Wireless Headset is not actually made of gold, nor does it feature any gold branding or gold paint. There’s no gold anywhere, in fact. The headset, which Sony is selling for $99, is mostly black, with a stylin’ blue streak around the inside of the headband. It works with both the PS3…

Uncharted PS4 Won’t Sound Like It Did Last November

Uncharted 4 won’t sound like it did during the brief glimpse we got last year—the actor who voiced the teaser trailer for the next Uncharted game says he’s no longer involved in the project. Todd Stashwick, who voices the above trailer (released last November during a PS4 launch event), told IGN today he’s no longer…

Surprise! Octodad: Dadliest Catch will arrive on PS4 this coming Tuesday, April 22. The PS4 version will be more or less the same goofy trip as the PC version, though some of the back half has been re-tuned to be less annoying. (The PC version’s been patched, too.) I’ve been playing a bit on PS4…

Watch Hatsune Miku Sing Frozen‘s “Let it Go”

Ever wanted to see virtual idol Hatsune Miku sing the iconic, Academy Award-winning song from Frozen? Two years back, I tried out the song editor in Project Diva Extend for the PSP by making a custom level with Hatsune Miku singing “Call Me Maybe.” But while Miku in my video did sing and dance, its…

Well, that didn’t take long. Action-RPG Heart Forth, Alicia got Kickstarter-funded in less than two days, and it also managed to get Greenlit on Steam like, almost immediately. It is currently steadily heading towards the $110,000 stretch goal, which will net the game a PS4 port. Bright future indeed.

​Infamous: Second Son‘s New Photo Mode Is A Blast

We’ve already pretty well established that Infamous: Second Son is a really nice-looking game. Wouldn’t it be cool if we had an easy way to freeze the game in action and really drink in all those shiny graphics? Thanks to today’s free update for the game, we have an opportunity to do just that. It’s…
