Gamasutra’s got a very technical look at the PS4’s specs, courtesy designer Mark Cerny. “The launch lineup for PlayStation 4 — though I unfortunately can’t give the title count — is going to be stronger than any prior PlayStation hardware,” Cerny says.
The PlayStation Store has finally updated after being down for the better part of a day. So, if you’ve been waiting for stuff like the Soul Sacrifice demo or Dragon Fantasy, you can finally go get ‘em.
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing. Everyone loves getting wistful about old games, old experiences, old characters that they worshiped and cherished. It’s fun. What’s less fun is revisiting those old games and finding the flaws you’ve forgotten. I recently re-bought the PS1 classic Final Fantasy IX to play on my Vita, and while it’s a…
Last month, the Japanese publisher Tecmo Koei released the Vita version of Japanese role-playing game Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland. They told nobody that it was out. In an e-mail to Kotaku at the time, one of Tecmo Koei’s PR representatives joked that this was a “new tactic to get the community involved and…
This spring, Vita owners will be able to play Hotline Miami. That much we know. But what does the game look like in action on the portable? Kirk Hamilton and I are at the Game Developers Conference this week, and we captured some footage of the game. Turns out, the gruesome indie game is a…
I remember watching The Empire Strikes Back, when Luke was training on Dagobah. At one point, he looks over his shoulder at Yoda and asks, “Is the Dark Side stronger?” Yoda, in his ever-wise (at least until the prequels) way answered firmly, “No. Quicker. Easier. More seductive.” I kept remembering those words pretty much through…
There are two reasons the console port of Diablo III, announced by Blizzard last month and shown off at PAX East this weekend, could be the definitive version of the game. The first reason is obvious: you can play offline. You don’t have to worry about server errors or Time Warner Cable while playing this…
In a week already bursting with crazy discounts, Steam has announced their Indie Spring Sale, featuring 1000 discounted indie titles. Since indie titles are already typically pretty cheap, we’re talking extremely low barriers to entry here. Given the quality, fun factor, and artistic merit on tap, this is an amazing dollar-to-entertainment ratio. There are also…
Let’s all remember: we haven’t seen the PlayStation 4 yet. Along with games that were purportedly running on the system specs, Sony’s event last month only showed viewers the controller. So it’s still up for grabs as to what the actual console will look like. That means that renders like the one above are still…
Sony has announced a partnership with Unity that’ll let the popular dev tools work with their platforms, including PS4.
Hi, Moneysaver readers. Welcome to the slightly-different but still wallet-friendly version of the Moneysaver. Going forward, this feature will be brought to you by a member of our company’s new Commerce Team. Fancy! What this means is that you’ll no longer see Moneysavers penned by those of us in editorial but by the good Shane…
Japanese people have different tastes from their Western counterparts (Heck, many of Kotaku East‘s Culture Smash columns focus specifically on this sociological difference), and Japanese gamers are no exception. Every week, Japanese gaming magazine Weekly Famitsu collects user impressions of newly released video games. Users rate games from 1 to 10 and comment on what…
Nvidia has announced that the PlayStation 4 will support their nifty PhysX physics software.
Journey wasn’t just one of the best games of 2012, it also had easily one of the best soundtracks. Composer Austin Wintory assembled a remarkable collection of instruments and tonalities, the sort of holistic musical concoction we rarely get in games. With this new video, you can listen to the entire Grammy-nominated soundtrack and follow…
Earlier this year, Kotaku reader Lewis bought a PlayStation Vita. He bought two 32 GB memory cards: one for games and applications, and the other for music. “I figured I could use it as an mp3 player as well as a gaming console,” Lewis told us. “Unfortunately, that is not the case.” As Lewis soon…
Crytek head Cevat Yerli has come out in defense of his studio’s latest game, Crysis 3. In an interview with Gamasutra, Yerli says that the game is “so far, our masterpiece,” and that he feels it’s better than both Crysis 2 and the original Crysis in all aspects. He blames the game’s tepid reception on…
Ever try to drink out of a fire hose? Me neither, but I’d imagine that it might feel a little bit like trying to keep up with all the news that’s pouring out about the PlayStation 4. For the sake of anyone who prefers to drink their news in a slightly more dignified manner, here’s…
Among the bits of information dropped during last week’s PlayStation 4 announcement was this from PS4 lead architect Mark Cerny, as he discussed the system’s enhanced social features: “[With the] PlayStation 4 we are transitioning to a friends network based on real world friends. We’ll keep around the alias and icon used in today’s multiplayer…
I loved Thomas Was Alone, the minimalist platformer released last year by Mike Bithell. The hilarious narration, memorable characters and awesome music defied my expectations I had after first hearing about the game and I was glad to see Thomas find a home on Steam. I’m never going to stop wanting for more people to…
It’s such a crude yardstick, yet it’s the one most people use when trying to gauge the leap between console generations. Graphics. How a game looks. It’s great for sizzle reels and screenshot comparisons, but at the end of the day, it’s not where the real leaps in video games are made. Those are made…
