You’re not wrong about Frostbite’s issues, but at the same time, when you look at how much time and effort and money studios sink into making their own engines, it absolutely makes sense why EA is mandating it: IF they can get all the bits and bobs in place, it would be a tremendous savings for every other studio to…

Man, there’s a lot of pretty depressing stuff in here. Frostbite seems to be a recurring problem in many of these games, and the attitude of EA’s upper management is disheartening on multiple levels, if not surprising. But what’s even more concerning is how increasingly common it is for single-player games to be to…

Another great story, Jason. A couple things really stand out to me here. First, The statement you got from Patrick Söderlund is pretty remarkable. I know there’s still corporate speak, but that was still pretty detailed and lined up with all of the rest of your reporting.

Quality reporting Jason. Thank you for this.

I would have thought the article made no sense. I mean Obama’s oldest daughter wasn’t even born yet when Cobain died. Now we are supposed to believe a baby dyed her hair blue? The whole story would fall apart.

This has been the best season of Rick and Morty so far so way to go ladies.

That’s the clickbaity-est headline that ever clickbaited. The only thing dying is the “Google Drive for PC/Mac” applications — Google Drive (i.e., user file storage in Google’s cloud) will live on. And then there’s this:

Maybe clarify that this is not actually affecting the Drive cloud service but only the apps labeled Drive on Macs and PCs.

Can confirm.

Is it flaunting literary privilege to say that anyone going into a production of 1984 without some idea of what they’re going to see deserves what they get?

In an alternate universe, perhaps one where Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis System was actually copied by multiple games in the same way Batman’s combat was, Shadow of the Colossus inspired many copycats that improved upon the original concept to create greater games that could be seen as “perfecting the formula.”

You will need a screwdriver, a pair of tweezers, a magnifying glass (optional), some salt (~1tbsp), and a bag of chicken feed, preferably corn-based.

Best Kotaku article I’ve ever read, along with a valuable life lesson.

As far as I can tell there has never been an official answer, so I am extremely thrilled to be able to provide one, 19 years later.

To be fair, it’s really BotW whose controls are a vast departure from virtually everything else out there. Sprint on B instead of LS? Whyyyy?
