Insomniac: VR Finally Made Our 10-Year-Old Game Idea Possible
The Unspoken, a multiplayer spellcasting game, is one of several VR games in development at Insomniac Games. It’s also a game the studio has been trying to make for 10 years. In the early days, Insomnaic was a studio focused on one game at a time. That used to mean annualized Spyro the Dragon and…

Fans Are Already Trying To Place Breath of the Wild On The Zelda Timeline
So far, we’ve only seen a small slice of the newest Zelda game—but that’s enough to get some fans speculating wildly. As many of you already know, there is such a thing as a “Zelda timeline,” and it chronicles the different parallel Zeldaverses that currently exist, post-Ocarina of Time. With a new game on the…

Don’t Ever Change, Yakuza
Because it’s a prequel set in the 1980s, Yakuza 0 is hopefully going to be the perfect place for newcomers to jump into Sega’s story-heavy world of brutal combat and dumb-ass minigames. Because the more people who play Yakuza, the better Yakuza 0 is going to be out in English in 2017. Its E3 trailer…

On the left, EA’s Patrick Söderlund talking to IGN. On the right, Corey Davis, design director at Psyonix (the developers of Rocket League). Some background on that 2011 date: Rocket League, for all its recent success, actually has a long and interesting development history, since it’s basically a reboot/sequel of a similar, earlier game that…

Resident Evil 7 Will Be More Like Classic Resident Evils Than The Demo
In the wake of Resident Evil 7‘s E3 reveal, Capcom dropped a teaser demo that’s… different. “Resident Evil? More like Resident P.T.-vil,” said somebody somewhere, probably. But according to Capcom, the final game will be more like classic Residents Evil (the correct plural; fight me) than people are expecting. As with anything that’s different, the…

Star Trek VR, As Seen At E3
There’s a window in one of the corners of Ubisoft’s massive E3 booth, and through it you can see people playing the new Star Trek Bridge Crew virtual reality game.

Porting A PC Game To Console Is Not Always As Easy As It Sounds
Or at least it wasn’t for Hawken, as the developers have shared in a surprisingly interesting timeline of how the mech shooter made the march from PC to Xbox One/PS4. Yeah, I know, Hawken, right?

One Video Game Publisher’s Passive-Aggressive Turf War With E3
E3 isn’t for everyone. It’s a massive video game convention built on glitz, glamour, and the bones of exhausted booth workers. It costs money to exhibit within those cramped halls, and people might not even notice. For years, Devolver has gotten around this by demoing games in a lot across the street. That, however, comes…

In Case You Can’t Get Enough Of Final Fantasy XV‘s Flying Car
The flying is smooth. The landing? Not so much. I’ve been dreaming of the Regalia Type-F since Square Enix revealed it didn’t need roads where it was going earlier this year. Now they’ve released a slightly beefier look at the convertible convertible, making it more implausible and desirable at the same time. Now all it…

The Last Guardian Is A Real Video Game And We’ve Played It
Here’s something I thought I’d never get to say: I’ve played 30 minutes of The Last Guardian As with many others, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus rank as some of my all-time favorites. The endless delays behind designer Fumito Ueda’s follow-up, The Last Guardian, have been frustrating for a variety of reasons. Most obviously,…

Watch 30 Extremely Impressive Minutes Of Gravity Rush 2 On PS4
Of all the games at this year’s E3, Gravity Rush 2 might be the one I’m most excited for. I loved Gravity Rush on Vita, and like it even more on PS4. The PS4 sequel, due later this year, however… rrrgh. Pour it into my brain and let me play it right now. It’s too…
