People love to talk shit on the first season of Halt and Catch Fire. Not me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR7u...

I appreciate that people want a new Mass Effect, but the future where fans advocate for the work itself and not the people who make it is the one the vultures at EA want. If you'll take it however you get it, they can keep treating people who make what you love as expendable.

hellraiser: revival is truly the most perverted, revolting mainstream game in existence, and that’s precisely why i think it could save video games before big dogs like xbox ruin them 😇 kotaku.com/hellraiser-r...

Just got out of Street Fighter. They were really cooking with this one. Movies have never been more back.

If this is real it looks mood-wise like everything you'd want from a new Mass Effect

Look what just came in the mail! Very cool.

A source tells Kotaku that Gears of War: E-Day cost over $500 million to make. Sales estimates have been weak despite earning the highest Metacritic score since the original trilogy. If ... https://kotaku.com/the-case-for-exclusivity-when-gears-of-war-e-day-cost-over-500-million-to-make-2000747986

EA calls itself "the number one publisher in Western HD gaming" in its email announcing new cuts and layoffs

A certain era of gaming definitely feels dead

If you're a BioWare fan, a developer influenced by its games, or a media person who was impacted by them and want to talk about what the studio's games have meant to you for a Kotaku story, please reach out in a dm here or at kshepard@kotaku.com

Somehow this site has become escalating levels of snark and smarm and it's killing the vibe

The ability to handle ambiguity in life and art is a sign of maturity and I am so bothered by how many people don’t seem to trust other people to be able to process these things. It’s the same impulse that leads to yelling at headlines for not explicitly saying something is bad.

I thought it was a slam dunk for my best of list but it is really alienating me with all the nonsense

PSA confirmed to me a major theft of their grades product from a FedEx truck before it could reach the owners. Collectors speculate the total value of the burglary could be over $1 million. The cards are insured but "fair market value" will be in dispute kotaku.com/card-collect...

As a fan of Letterboxd I've really been looking forward to @chucktowski.com's Game Tracker launching on Giant Bomb. It's here now, and you should absolutely track and rate what you're playing on it! giantbomb.com/game-tracker

I have questions about a massive video game website that thinks it can't make money from podcasts

Last month we lost our jobs. This month we made new ones. Introducing X BUTTON: an independent gaming network from three ex-IGN employees. A new weekly Nintendo podcast! A new weekly video game podcast! And that’s just the start, but we can’t do it without your help! www.patreon.com/cw/XButtonShow

A newspaper

Modern Warfare 4 testers vote to authorize a potential strike after negotiations on their first union contract stall. The group accuses Activision of dragging its feet on key issues. The Call of Duty publisher is promising "no disruption to players or upcoming game releases."

NEW: Democratic Congress member Ritchie Torres is introducing legislation in Congress to regulate digital video game ownership. "A game that can be taken away the moment a company pulls the plug is not a purchase. It is a rental disguised as a sale."

This remaster does not exist yet

Focus, L!

Clapping like Orson Welles at this

Earlier this year, Sharma killed a Copilot game guides feature that got ridiculed a bunch online. Now she's announcing a small team dedicated to experimenting with genAI in gaming in a blog post that does everything possible not to actually mention the word AI

Can't believe Jason flew all the way to the UK to delay GTA 6

If you were ever targeted by the Gamergate horde from 2024 onward, I'd love to talk to you briefly for a short section in my book! Reply, DM me, or email me at alyssamerc@gmail.com. Signal boost!!

Mad Men was pretty neat at 20. Closing in on 39 it's a side iron to the gut.

This should be illegal

I also want Vertical Slice to evolve beyond the confines of a traditional paper. That's why I'm launching The Repository, a growing (free) collection of pitch decks and design docs donated by generous contributors including @kitfoxgames.com, @outersloth.com, and @outerloopgames.bsky.social.

For @kotaku.com I previewed Phantom Blade Zero one last time and took a while to dig into S-Game's "several hundred million dollar" investments, a second sci-fi project that the team is working on and the game director's origins working an RPG-Maker game telling the same story back in 2010.

reported on something that was really difficult for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons in a lot of different ways.

Tim Schafer talks to us about the union fight at Double Fine earlier this year: "It’s weird to work on a company for 25 years and then have a dramatic thing like this all of a sudden kind of take control of your ways of communicating and it felt like this isn’t usually how we resolve things."

It's cube night

Forever Ago is a sappy game, but I am a sucker for sappy stories, especially ones that center the anger and jealousy that people experiencing grief are often embarrassed to share or talk about. My chat with the game's developers for Remap: remapradio.com/articles/for...

yeah this dlc is fun man

Go read Zack's review!

Would like to point out that I and my Kotaku colleagues called this in 2021 kotaku.com/fortnite-x-b...

Seeing online chuds get mad about E-Day having women soldiers/commanders has been so funny. It reveals instantly to me they either are full of shit (likely) or haven't played past games (also likely). Women have been barking orders at dudes, killing Locust, and kicking ass since the 360 era.

Okay I wrote a short blog about it (no spoilers)
