Been playing Horizon pretty steadily for the past week and haven’t noticed anything off about the facial animations at all. Idk if that’s an issue from person to person but I haven’t encountered it yet. In fact, I think the facial animations look great.

The reason some indie games are getting physical copies on the switch where they should just release a digital copy is because of the lack of storage on the system. Granted, most indie games are tiny, but the more titles Nintendo has coming out with a physical version, the less that people can complain about having to…

I’m so glad you posted this, I forgot all about it

I really like your podcast but PLEASE lose the wannabe-NPR intro music.

Cmon, Kotaku! Where is the diversity in body types with the females in these pictures? I see a total of ONE plus-sized girl in all of these pictures, everyone else is skinny with big boobs. So much of this sites cosplay scene touts “body positivity” but then every gallery or feature I see on cosplay offers up mostly…

This is a great idea only if you have the time to devote. To me, open world games are a lot like NFL football. In NFL games, you spend 80% of the time the game is on watching commercials. With open world games, without fast travel, you spend about 80% of the game NOT playing the game, but riding/driving/walking to the…

That sucks but she’ll be perfectly fine. Minor injuries at worst.

You know, the preview material for Ghostbusters 2016 was utter garbage, but it doesn’t mean that the people who said “go see it first” were wrong, considering there does exist about 120 minutes of footage that nobody saw in the trailers. While it didn’t happens, that extra 120 minutes of footage might have contained…

I won’t deny that Hollywood likes to whitewash characters. If people wanna take issue with that, that’s fine, it is entirely BS. But at least Scarlett Johanson does look A LOT like the Major.

What I cant understand are the people that start with whitewashing and take it one step further, saying this movie is trash,…

They’ve probably been planning her release for a long time. I highly doubt they’d move it up depending on the weather

Here’s the thing: I never relate my race, skin color, or anything of the sort, to my “culture”. None of that has anything to do with the person I am to other people in my day to day life.

I get not giving Nintendo a pass for all of their antiquated business practices and their seeming inability to adjust with the times, but the initial sales of the Switch are proving that people aren’t super concerned with those things, at least not those on the candle bubble, a group we’ve seen gobble up Nintendo…

But are core gamers interested in indies less than casual gamers? Considering “casual” gamers are usually those that don’t read up on kotaku like we do, but see the more big budget, highly advertised games, I don’t know if they have the same knowledge of indie games as core gamers. I don’t equate casuals with indie…

I think he’s talking about a situation in which Nintendo only uses indies as a pillar of the platform until more AAA publishers take notice of the system and start developing a lot more titles for it, or until Nintendo has a bigger selection of their own exclusives. Ya, it’s looking at things from a “What if?”…

He’s talking about an entirely different platform though. Nintendo has been pretty bad about getting indies in their home consoles before, so they’re pretty late to the party in that one. Regardless, this is a good thing and I think the entire industry should have this “if an indie can sell well on steam it can sell…

I’d say most of the games I play that have male characters that aren’t dwarves or gnomes or elves feature some pretty miraculously attractive men. To each their own I guess

Oh girl, go on, get all saucy about her skin and eyebrows! Shes no strong female protagonists unless she has realistic brows and shitty skin! Go on girl!

Lara is still crafted to look almost perfect, no matter how much blood and dirt you put on her.
