Why play The Last Guardian when you can play with a huge, virtual Last Guardian at this year’s Tokyo Game Show? At Sony’s booth, there’s a virtual Trico on the side of the wall that people can interact with. Which is good, ‘cause the game itself isn’t playable on the showfloor. The animation and AI…
Upcoming title Tales of Zestiria will have the original Japanese voice track in addition to a new English one. But for most past Tales games, this hasn’t been the case. At Bandai-Namco’s Pre-Tokyo Game Show press event in Japan yesterday, Tales of Zestiria’s producer Hideo Baba spoke a bit to us about the game’s upcoming…
Multiplayer shooters. You know them, you love them (maybe!), and you play them (ditto). Resident Evil adds its own spin to the genre. Today at the Tokyo Game Show, I checked out Umbrella Corps. Announced this week, Resident Evil: Umbrella Corps. is a PS4 and PC close-quarters multiplayer shooter with zombies that stumble about. This…
Square Enix and developer Tri-Ace’s latest big title, Star Ocean V: Integrity and Faithlessness was playable at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, and after some quality time with the demo, despite some minor issues, it’s shaping up to look pretty solid. The Star Ocean V demo consisted of a short dungeon and a boss battle…
PS Vita title Final Fantasy Agito Plus has been cancelled. The game’sofficial Twitter apologized, but hasn’t yet given a reason for the cancellation. Agito Plus was supposedto hit the PS Vita this past January in Japan, but was delayed. And now, it’s been canned.
Today saw the playable premier of the newest game in the Ace Attorney series at the Tokyo Game Show —and it seems the dead just can’t seem to leave Phoenix and his trials alone. The demo for Ace Attorney 6 once again follows our defense lawyer hero Phoenix Wright. This time, he is not in…
Off To Battle at the Tokyo Game Show. Chiba, Japan. By Toshi Nakamura. JPGs is a photo peek into wherever gamers might find interesting. If you’re a photographer and have images you want to share, drop us a line!
Dragon Quest Builders, Square Enix’s new block making RPG feels like a rebellious child—not wanting to acknowledge its heritage, even though it’s really obvious. I got a chance for some hands-on time at this year’s TGS. Asked about the game, a representative told me that the game was inspired by “other such popular open world…
Hideo Kojima’s name might not be on the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain box, but that doesn’t mean your face can’t be! At the Konami booth, there is a small photo studio where visitors can have their photos taken for a personalized cover shot. This is Julien from GameBlog.fr. He was nice enough…
Well, she’s always had an annoying laugh. Go figure. The latest fighter to enter the SFV fray is Karin, who made her playable debut in Street Fighter Alpha 3. Boy, she has an irritating laugh. (Like this!) In the above clip, you can see her beat the tar out of Rashid. And then, laugh. Ha.…
I’ve covered a lot of cosplay over the years, both on Kotaku and beyond. That’s a big reason this subsite dedicated 100% to the craft exists.Thing is, I’m not a cosplayer, so my stories and accounts have always been those of a fascinated outsider looking in. While it’s fantastic that cosplayers, photographers, videographers, props builders…
Know how there have been secret rooms in the Batman Arkham games teasing info about the inevitable follow-up? Rocksteady studio head Sefton Hill says that Arkham Knight doesn’t have one. Time to shut Detective Mode off, I guess.
I just spent an hour with the new Metal Gear Online. And like its parent game, it’s about more than just charging in, guns blazing. Metal Gear Online, like its two predecessors of the same name, is a versus multiplayer game with the controls of Metal Gear Solid—in this case, Metal Gear Solid V The…
Mark Hunt might be the heaviest hitter in the UFC. He’s almost certainly the toughest fighter living in Australia right now. His autobiography Born to Fight comes out on September 29, but I was lucky enough to get an advance copy. There’s a game related story in there that I have to share. Consider it…
Yesterday at Bandai Namco’s HQ here in Tokyo, I got some serious hands-on time with Project X Zone 2. It’s all the over-the-top cross-over craziness I remember—and then some. Project X Zone is a 2012 tactical RPG that crosses over many of Bandai-Namco, Sega, and Capcom’s most popular characters. Project X Zone 2 is pretty…
Bedlam, a game we first wrote about last year, is out on PC today. Fallout Tactics fans, this one’s for you.
This trailer forthe upcoming Ghost in the Shell FPS is giving me a bucket full of sadfaces. Brian was optimistic about the whole thing last year when the game was first announced, but he might have been the only person on earth seeing the glass half-full. This couldn’t be a worse fit for the IP.…
Put it in the trashcan. Something something compliance. *whack*. Cop is TimmCosplay, photo by Yukibun. Nice job finding a trashcan that looks just like the City 17 ones!
“This isn’t an article about the evils of free to play manipulation to get you to spend money. This is about how we can target you, because we (and our partners) know everything about you.” Some brutal reading at TouchArcade
Now I really want a Fallout horror game. Five Nights at Vault 5 is a mod that reimagines Five Nights at Freddy’s in the Fallout universe—specifically, Fallout: New Vegas. You’ve got your multi-night scenario, complete helplessness, and killer robots skulking about, but there’s one major difference: you can actually move. You’re not rooted to one…
