Watch Dogs Is Finally About Watching Dogs

Just as Lightning doesn’t return Final Fantasy XIII, there’s no way to watch dogs in Watch Dogs even though the title suggests it. Mashed fix this with their latest animation.

Ex-PlayStation Chief Jack Tretton To Analyze All Of E3 2014’s Big Shows

Well, this should be interesting. Jack Tretton, the former boss for all of PlayStation’s business in America and the man who led numerous E3 PlayStation press conferences—including last year’s thunderous one—will be spending E3 2014 press conference day talking about Sony’s, EA’s, Ubisoft’s and even Microsoft’s grand stage shows.

Meet The Shadow of Mordor Enemy I Couldn’t Kill

No two players’ experience will be the same in the upcoming Lord of the Rings game, Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor.

There’s A Great Game Beneath Monster Monpiece‘s Awkward Anime Stroking

Update 5/28/2014: Monster Monpiece is finally out in North America (Europe gets it next week), and the sentiment in this Japanese preview still holds: It’s a great game, but damn that embarrassing girl-stroking mechanic. In PlayStation Vita game Monster Monpiece, players increase the powers of collectible cards by vigorously rubbing pictures of young women until…

PS4 Review Update: Six Months Later

A half-year past launch, the PlayStation 4 still feels like an overachiever. The system runs better and is improving faster than its predecessor. Everything is relative, though. The PS4 is still a year-one console and has familiar year-one issues. It’s not yet a must-have. Early impressions were correct, thank goodness. I reviewed the PS4 in…

PS4 Developer On What It Means To Be Next-Gen

Back when new-gen was known as next-gen, gamers and critics alike pondered and daydreamed about the kinds of experiences we’d get with new hardware and promises of impressive power. And a lot of that anticipation has been squarely on the topic of shiny visuals. But there’s more to the look of a game than just…

The Evil Within Made Me Want To Throw Up

At some point, something happened and I stopped liking roller coasters. This was news to me. I used to love them as a kid. I was the first one running back down and around to the back of the line to ride them again. Now my stomach lurches and my neck feels uncomfortable and I’m…

Lego Batman 3 Is Here, And He’s Going Into Space

Here’s your first look at Traveller’s Tales’ third brick-based Batman. The latest in the series builds on the suits of the last installment but takes the action into space, including some very Resogun-like shooting sections – ironically with a less blocky appearance than the original source. This post originally appeared on Kotaku UK The sections…

The Order: 1886 has been delayed to 2015, still exclusive to the PS4.

​A Developer’s Defense Of 30 Frames Per Second

At the start of this new generation of consoles the debate of framerate and resolution importance still wages on. The gold standard to live by is a solid 60 fps and 1080p. If those numbers aren’t on a bullet pointed press release somewhere, eyebrows and questions are raised. But what if hitting 30 fps is…

A Platformer Where You’re A Goddess, And The Levels Are Your Mind

Oh yeah, and you’ve got split personalities. Also it’s a really pretty-looking game. It’s called Red Goddess. An open-world side-scrolling action-adventure (or metroidvania, if you prefer) where you play a young goddess named Divine, taking her on a journey across a planet controlled by her subconscious. This translates to a dangerous but gorgeous alien landscape.…

Gears of War Is Still My Favorite Shooter

Francis is the closest thing to a hardcore gamer I have in my life. He’s the kind of guy that bought a DualShock 4 controller on a lunch break before the PlayStation 4 had come out just so he could hold it. Buying the PS4 over the Xbox One was a calculated decision he can…

Sin From Final Fantasy X Is Just As Ominous In Minecraft

Recreating Sin—the whale-like gargantuan final boss of Final Fantasy X—in Minecraft was probably a bit harder than usual since you can’t really build it pixel by pixel. Still, Pero‘s piece looks awesome, just like the original from the PS2 game. Here’s a few more shots, and a neat video: Dayshot is an image-based feature that…

Sony is preparing to sell PlayStation consoles in China. As reported by Reuters, the company has set up joint ventures with Chinese company Shanghai Oriental Pearl to help set up shop in Shanghai’s Free Trade Zone
