This is the MMOne. It’s a “3-axis virtual-reality gaming chair.” And it might make you barf. I know it would make me. Just watching this clip is making me woozy. According to its official site, the chair is compatible with gamepads, joysticks, and the Oculus Rift. There are also roller coaster and space sims for…
My internet speed is incredible!

Artist RJ Palmer has been doing the whole “realistic Pokemon” thing for a while now, but it’s usually been a case of “oh wow that’s neat”, not “ahhhhh God I’m never going in the ocean again”. His latest work is the legendary Pokemon Kyogre, who is normally a pretty sleek, futuristic-looking fish, but who is…
Have you watched the video for True Survivor, from the Kung Fury soundtrack? You should. It’s kind of amazing. David Hasselhoff taps into the 80s for this video (music by Mitch Murder), which is also full of fun video game references. If you liked Hotline Miami or Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, you’ll definitely want…
OK, so almost everyone in Final Fantasy dresses terribly, but Nick Wanserski at AV Club makes a pretty strong case for Tidus being the absolute worst. Why? The wallet chain is not helping.
Yesterday, Kirk wrote about the ‘Three Bloodborne Enemies Who Are Just The Worst‘ — a look at those regular enemies who always somehow manage to hit you, beat you down and break your spirit. It was a cool list, but it got me thinking: what about the Bloodborne enemies who seem really nice? (Top image…
My Summer Car is a game about chugging beer and tinkering obsessively with a beat-up old sports car. It is, according to its creator, the most realistic car game ever. I honestly can’t tell if My Summer Car is a joke or not. On one hand, its website says things like: “MY SUMMER CAR is…
A new update to the 3DS’ StreetPass Plaza will let you finally skip a lot of the chatter that slows down clearing out your StreetPass queue—but it’ll cost you. The update will also let you hide StreetPass games you no longer want to play. That one’s free. If you were hoping that they’d up the…
Bizarrely, Mortal Kombat X has a sizable slate of classic Mortal Kombat characters that you can only fight against, not play as, Rain and Baraka foremost among them. Clever players, however, have figured out how to use them in the game’s PC version. Player XVermillion tore open Mortal Kombat X’s chest cavity and, as hot…
Yesterday, a Pokémon-themed thread popped up on Reddit. It was titled “My friend was drunk and on Xanax when he decided to tattoo a black face Charmander with no experience or artistic ability. The flame saves it.” This is the tattoo: This is what the Pokémon is supposed to look like, for reference’s sake. Charmander!…
Be careful, Mewtwo players—there’s a glitch in Smash Bros. Wii U that can prevent some people from playing online if they play Mewtwo in certain modes. Nintendo says they’re working on a patchto fix the problem, but for now, stay away from Smash Run, All-Star, Classic, Stadium, and Trophy Rush modes while playing as Mewtwo.
We’ve seen plenty of games filled to the brim with pixels, but what about crappy polygons? Back In 1995 promises to be “just like PlayStation or Sega Saturn in 1995.” Thanks to Rely On Horror, one of the better horror gaming sites around, for pointing this out! Back In 1995 has loading screens with flipping…
Should a critic cease coverage of a game simply because a developer does not like them? According to one YouTuber, tensions between himself and a developer are pronounced enough to make any potential coverage that developer’s game biased. Earlier this week, commentator John Bain—known by many as TotalBiscuit, the PC-centric commentator with over 2 million…
Good afternoon, everyone. Here’s a new trailer for that movie about space. The teaser, which opens with a great Luke Skywalker monologue about his family’s connection to the Force—and sets the stage for plenty of speculation that this new set of movies will star his kids—is full of sizzling moments that will likely be analyzed…
Superman is General Zod’s son. Wonder Woman’s the daughter of Ares, evil god of war. And Batman? He’s an actual vampire. Things are going to be different in the next animated Justice League movie. Justice League: Gods and Monsters won’t be like the other recent animated film projects from Warner Brothers. This one won’t be…
I’ve been waiting for a show about Marvel’s blind lawyer superhero lawyer for, like, 20 years. So, of course, I binged on the new Daredevil show on Netflix as soon as I could. I wasn’t the only one here at Kotaku who felt that way. You know what? We loved it. Daredevil’s a different beast…
If you love leaving weird messages for friends and strangers in Dark Souls and Bloodborne, perhaps you’d like to extend your services to the real-world, too. While the Souls games take place in dangerous lands, you’re not alone. While exploring (and dying), you often come across messages from other players. The messages are typically vague…
The video games we play are made by people who live and work around the world. But how often do we think about that aspect of this most international of collaborative art forms? I made some maps. I thought it might help. Here, for example, are the locations of the development studios (down to the…
If you skipped the Final Fantasy XV demo last month, you can go on continuing to skip it, because this morning Square Enix released a three-minute video that sums up all the cool parts just for you. Of course, watching something is never quite the same as playing it, but this video will give you…
