Nobody Has More Fun With PlayStation VR Than These Folks

The PlayStation VR is out. People are buying it and playing games with it. And some of them are having a very, very good time. We’ve seen endless clips of people getting freaked out (this, for example!) and having fun with the Oculus Rift. Now, it’s the PlayStation VR’s turn:  There are bound to be…

Goku Black is coming to Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 as a pre-order bonus. The game will be out later this month, and you can check out in the character in in this debut clip.

Political Ads Show Donald Trump As A Bad Overwatch Player

If you’re still having trouble imagining Donald Trump as a bad candidate for President of the United States, maybe a website framing it in terms of him being a bad Overwatch player might help. UPDATE: There’s also an actual giant billboard, in the real world, with the gravest insult of the 2016 election campaign thus…

Tip: You Can Use PlayStation VR As A Monitor For Other Consoles

If you’ve got a shiny new PlayStation VR headset, or are thinking of getting one, here’s a cool little feature Sony didn’t really make a big deal of prior to release: it works as a basic head-mounted monitor on pretty much anything, including rival consoles. It looks like the PSVR will accept pretty much any…

How To Fight Like Jon Snow

Look, let’s just say, hypothetically, that during the long dark winter you get jumped by some magic zombies. And you don’t have a gun. How do you defend yourself? Alan Padziński, a professional instructor and sword performer from Poland, is here to help. Following on from his series of videos where he taught us all…

Shadow Warrior 2 Is Ridiculous In A Lot Of Good Ways

If a game tells me I’m going to carve up demons with a chainsaw called the “Warrrsaw,” it puts my expectations in check. This game is going to be violent. It’s going to be ridiculous. It’s (hopefully?) going to be fun. Shadow Warrior 2 is all of those things. I’ve played about seven hours of…

Battlefield 1 Lets You Play As A Pigeon

Battlefield 1 makes it a point to look at the Great War from a variety of perspectives. “Through Mud and Blood” focuses on a British Mk. V tank crew before shifting to a very unlikely point of view. You can view the whole scene below, as captured by MathChief The single player mission recounts the…

Check Out These Weird Virtual Dogs

Wobbledogs will eventually be a game about raising wonky physics puppies, but right now it is the best developer log, ever. On a TIGForums page, creator Tom Astle catalogues little ideas like “dogs on treadmills” and “dogs poop eggs.” You’ll be able to raise these pups and put them through you own weird, personal hell…

Anime Feminist Wants To Get Real About Fan Service

So-called nerd culture has, over the last few years, been forced to take a moral inventory. Women and minorities have always consumed this media; lately, and loudly, some of us have been asking to see ourselves better-reflected, at least in comics and video games. In anime, that conversation is just starting. Anime fan Amelia Cook…

Valve Is Adding Native DualShock 4 Support To Steam

The DualShock 4 makes for a lovely PC gaming controller, but it doesn’t usually get the support it deserves, especially the touch pad and gyroscopic features. An update coming to Steam’s controller API will have PS4 controller configurability baked right in. The news comes from the Steam Dev Days event, from a Steam controller talk…

Severed is available for the 3DS today. We liked the game a lot on Vita

Battlefield 1’s Tiny Gun Is Ineffective But Glorious

Battlefield 1‘s campaign manages a somber tone but the game still manages to sneak a ridiculous pistol into the multiplayer for some laughs. It’s super small and super not deadly. Youtuber jackfrags captured footage of the dainty Kolibri pistol in a new video. Just look at that reload animation! So elegant! A true gentleman’s weapon!…

Friendship is free-to-play mobile match-three? My Little Pony: Puzzle Party is out today for iOS and Android. Having briefly played the first 60 levels, I can attest to its pony-ness. In case further proof is needed, here’s a video of show’s voice actors recording dialogue for the game.

Overwatch Streamer Becomes Top Ranked Player In North America, Calls His Mom

For a brief, shining moment, Overwatch player Miso snatched the rank most competitive players can only dream of: number one in the whole dang country. So of course, he called his mom. The moment came after a showdown between Miso and friendly rival Mangachu, a pro player who was ranked number one at the time.…

PC Game Developers Say Anti-Piracy Tech Would Make Their Game Worse

“We don’t believe in DRM, and we don’t like DRM,” two of the developers behind the new game Shadow Warrior 2 recently told Kotaku in an e-mail, when we asked them about their game’s lack of anti-piracy protection. DRM, of course, refers to digital rights management or anti-piracy systems that are widely used to keep…

Battleborn Gets Its First Story DLC Today

Fans of Battleborn’s story operations that are sick to death of playing the initial set of scenarios get a reprieve today with Attikus and the Thrall Rebellion, a retelling of the third Thrall uprising with a little film noir flair. Attikus and the Thrall Rebellion is the first of five new story operations promised for…

Character Creation Is The Best Part Of The New Skylanders

The idea was to show folks a quick five minute video of the character creation process in Skylanders: Imaginators while I work on our review. What I ended up is a nearly 20 minute testament to how deep and compelling this year’s gimmick turned out. It’s beyond gimmick, really. Skylanders: Giants had large characters. Swap…

The Final Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Trailer

Well, this looks very good. Here is the second story trailer, apparently the final one before the movie gets its December release. I do imagine we’ll get a slightly recut international trailer (maybe Japanese?) with a few more seconds of new footage, but this should give you an idea of what to expect when it…

Namco’s Schoolgirl VR Game Gets Inevitable Erotic Game Knock Off

Of course it did. Of course.  In Namco’s PlayStation VR title Summer Lesson, you interact with a schoolgirl as her summer tutor. The 12-years-old-and-up rated title is not an adults-only game. VR Kanojo, however, is.  The folks at adult PC game company Illusion are releasing a VR demo called VR Kanojo (VR Girlfriend) that looks…
