Every bad ass has Ryu in his name.

bleh. It looks alright at best. We live in a world in which Hard Corps Rising exists, why the fuck isn't this hi-res 2d? Strider 2 for PS1 looked amazing, the mix of great sprites and 3d backgrounds was super unique, this looks lifeless.

It is often required by the publishers to shoot off the screen, sometimes with a person in the shot. Direct feed isn't always an option. We'd prefer to show you something.

That's an M202 FLASH; it's an incendiary rocket launcher designed to replace flamethrowers. It's surprisingly light, weighing just under 27 lbs. fully loaded.

i think its based on the m202 flash which is real. It used 4 Law rockets which allowed it to weigh 26 pounds which is pretty sweet!

do you mean dragons crown?

Whoa, Dragon's Dogma? What? You mean that game that was released over a year ago and then re-released several months ago? What does that have to do with later this year?

Same here. It's weird to hear "slow week" when my most anticipated game of the last few years comes out now. People that had their life changed by Nocturne understand this at least.

Yessir.. I think I reserved SMT IV like a day or so after it was announced for north america.. paid it all at the beginning of the month and have been patiently waiting for the 16th..

Dude, Nocturne was AMAZING!

I felt like i remember hearing Patrick Klepek of Giant Bomb saying it was probably dead. This was as current a news story as i could find. The quote makes it sound like the project has been shelved so yeah, probably not the best pre-order idea. http://www.destructoid.com/bethesda-prey-…

Yeah that is what I was thinking when I say Prey 2 listed

She doesn't look black at all to me.

Hears "Worms 3"...

Really, as long as the story and gameplay are good the characters could be called Barbarox and Kennivus and it wouldn't matter.

Honestly the image is just disturbing and makes me wanna not visit kotaku... Fuck you for making it the cover photo

I agree wholeheartedly. Something about those plain, solid blacks for their pupil/irises, and the ever-so-slightly more exaggerated contrasts in shapes across their bodies. And though one wouldn't think it matters much, the deeper skintones actually make them look a lot livelier. USE THESE DESIGNS FOR MARIO GAMES…

I still 100% love the art direction for this series. The way they present Mario & Luigi is just a bit more appealing to me than their normal designs.

CHRONO NEXT-GEN FTW

Man, the PSV marketing department has been consistently bad...
