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…

How Rare’s Co-Op Pirate Game Sea Of Thieves Works

Thank goodness a major game studio is making a multiplayer pirate ship game. Even better news: the very basic version of Sea of Thieves on display at E3 out here in Los Angeles is a lot of fun. On Monday night, we shot video of teams of five players apiece sailing their big pirate ships…

Fallout 4’s Upcoming DLC, Nuka World, Will Let You Become An Evil Raider

One of the biggest complaints fans had about Fallout 4 was that most of the time, the game only let you be a good guy/girl. Judging from what Bethesda has cooking, however, it seems that they are actually listening. Last Sunday we got a sneak peek at “Nuka World,” the next big Fallout 4 DLC.…

Don’t Apologize For Playing Mortal Kombat, Dying Light

The other day the Xbox Reddit noticed Techland’s Dying Light racking up some Mortal Kombat achievements. Shortly after, Dying Light posted an apology. Oh stop, Dying Light. You own those achievements. And grats to the sound design team.

It’s The Perfect Time For Some 2D Platforming

Massive open-world 3D games are lovely, but watching presentations for dozens of them over the course of three days is exhausting. The trailer for the latest installment of Wayforward Technologies’ Shantae series is exactly the refreshment I need. I enjoy wandering vast three-dimensional worlds as much as the next gamer, but I look at The…

Some Fresh Persona 5 Gameplay Footage

Atlus gave a demonstration of Persona 5 gameplay today at E3. Here’s video of it. The quality’s of IGN’s clip here isn’t great, but it’s captured from a demo screen on the showroom floor, so whaddyagonnado. It’s certainly clear enough to make out that there’s a dungeon full of butts. Sad reminder: this game isn’t…

FIFA 17 came out with one of the best-received trailers of the whole show this week. How does rival PES respond? In about the most PES way imaginable. Reckless defending and a wasteful Olivier Giroud? Solid Arsenal simulation, this.

Battleborn Adds Microtransactions This Week, Because That’ll Help

I really enjoy Battleborn, but it’s not doing well. Overshadowed and misunderstood, its popularityis off the low end of most charts. The addition of premium currency to purchase special taunts and skins is exactly not the shot in the arm the game needs. I have a hard enough time trying to convince people that the…

Final Fantasy XV‘s VR Demo Is Terrible

It’s not shocking that Square Enix is bringing Final Fantasy to virtual reality, but based on what they’re showing so far, there’s not much reason to get excited. After Sony’s press conference, the company allowed people to play a number of the VR games that were announced at the event. Batman: Arkham VR, which I…

Gravity Rush 2 is still looking great. I was remiss in not posting this trailer last night, and to be honest I halfway think Sony should’ve just spent their entire E3 press conference on this game. That’s just me, though.

ABZÛ, a very pretty underwater exploration game we first saw at E3 2014, is out on August 2 on PS4 and PC. Here’s an E3 2016 trailer.

Kratos isn’t alone in the new God of War. Not only does he have a son, that child will be with him for the whole game. The two are so tied together that Sony’s dedicated an entire button on the controller to interacting with the kid. The relationship between Kratos and his son is central…

First Agents of Mayhem Gameplay Footage Plays It Surprisingly Safe

Agents of Mayhem is the new game from Volition, developer of the unabashedly wacky, deceptively smart Saints Row series. If you were hoping for them to rein it in—to say, make a somber period piece set in 1930s Ireland—prepare to be disappointed. Volition writer Jason Blair debuted gameplay footage of Agents of Mayhem on Twitch’s…

A Bloody $200 Gears Of War Control Pad

Look, considering how gorgeous the standard Elite controller is, this official Gears 4 version with GOUGES and BLOOD might be a bit much. Especially at $200. That said, those d-pad overlays could be a neat accessory for future games… It’ll be out in October, though just like the original Elite itself, it’ll be available “in…
