Ok but did they license any Bad Religion or The Offspring songs?

“Release it when it’s done” is an admirable philosophy, but the problem is they already released something from the game before it was done. Deciding to go with that philosophy after the game has been played by a lot of people is a really, really stupid move, since now you’re not just competing against other games,…

It feels like the creators of the game spent so long working on it in isolation that they forgot why people liked it in the first place. The game should’ve had more public releases within the past 6 years, which would’ve given the team more player feedback on what their changes were actually doing to the game. It…

See, that would have been good information to have in the article itself, seeing as it doesn’t even mention the game by name. You technically see copies of it for sale in the header pic, but it’s not immediately apparent that’s what you’re looking at.

This is pretty fun, but like... can they be sued for this? Blockbuster still has one store left, and Dish owns the brand name and maybe wouldn’t be super keen on someone else using it to promote an unrelated product.

And the original header image for the article was already kinda NSFW, so there was literally no way to avoid it if you were just scrolling through the home page.

Thank you for at least apologizing for the article, though I do disagree with the decision not to delete it. That being said, you’re the editor-in-chief. How is it that you didn’t see the article at all until it was already up? I get Kotaku’s technically a blog and not a “proper” news site, but if writers are able to…

JW1 was Colin Trevorrow working off someone else’s script, and JW2 was someone else directing a Trevorrow script. So JW3 being Trevorrow Unchained is most likely gonna result in an even bigger clusterfuck than the last two.

Given how this is by a non-Hulu production company and its premiere at Sundance garnered some mixed reviews, I’m willing to bet this is a Cloverfield Paradox situation where Annapurna is dumping it to Hulu because they didn’t think it was good enough to make its money back in theaters.

State of Play is always lame. The last one was only good because they had the first FF7 remake footage in like 4 years, and this one only really has TLOU2 propping it up. The problem is that Sony is transitioning to the next generation and doesn’t have much to show until the PS5 is announced, so we end up with these…

Yeah, it’s weird that they’ve been silent on that one for a while. Makes me wonder if it might’ve been moved to PS5, or that it might be a cross-gen game.

Yeah, in a world where someone has already dressed up as the Joker and committed horrible crimes, if you haven’t thought about whether people might be inspired by a Joker film you’re either a dumbass or willfully ignorant.

AFAIK Kojima’s tweets are translated by his assistant Ayako, and Kojima either doesn’t know English at all or his knowledge is limited enough that he needs someone else to translate for him. English also appears to be her second language, and even the tweets that aren’t mistranslated to the extent featured in this…

Considering Lucas was responsible for pretty much all the stupid shit in Crystal Skull, I’m not exactly sad he’s gone. You can argue it’s disrespectful, but frankly if he’s gonna keep giving terrible ideas, I don’t really want him on the project.

Borderlands 3 has been in development for what I gather is a decent length of time (though maybe not long enough given all the technical issues it has), they could’ve had input from Telltale staff during the early planning stages. Or they could’ve just hired the writers of TFtB when Telltale closed.

Kamiya set up the universe and the characters, but by this point it’s clearly more Itsuno’s baby than Kamiya’s. You can feel a definite shift in the characterization of Dante, and the feel of the series as a whole, once DMC3 comes around, and that carries through into 4 and 5.

You mean like all the people who act like 1 good show automatically discounts all the problems people had with his other work? Because yeah, that’s pretty funny.

It’s Square Enix, it’s probably gonna be the mobile versions.

I completely understand why they’re doing this, but they need to announce something substantial for the $10-per-month Nitro option to replace the free games. Because right now the only tangible benefit you get over Nitro Classic (which is half the price) is the ability to “boost” servers.
