| Speedrunners Beat Pokémon Shining Pearl With No Fights, Only A Fishing Rod Posted: 07 Dec 2021 09:00 AM PST  Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have been called "totally broken" by some speedrunners, and that brokenness has reached its logical conclusion: a sub-20 minute record time for the finishing game. About a week ago, that record time was 51 minutes. |
| Halo Infinite's Ranked Multiplayer Is Depressing Right Now Posted: 07 Dec 2021 08:50 AM PST  Ranked is never for the weak at heart, but usually, that's because you have to contend with a bunch of tryhards just like you. In Halo Infinite, however, I don't rage at my teammates or my performance nearly as much as I do the actual mode itself. |
| Uncharted: Legacy Of Thieves Comes With A Free Ticket For The Tom Holland Movie Posted: 07 Dec 2021 08:35 AM PST  The leap from one console generation to the next continues to be a puzzle worthy of Uncharted: not terribly mind-bending, but certainly more complicated than you'd expect. The latest example, in an Escherian twist, is Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, the forthcoming PlayStation 5 bundle that includes resprayed versions… |
| Bowser Agrees To Pay Nintendo $10 Million In Hacking Lawsuit Posted: 07 Dec 2021 08:20 AM PST  Gary "GaryOPA" Bowser pleaded guilty to federal piracy charges in October. Now he's agreed to pay Nintendo a massive $10 million settlement for his reported role in designing and selling devices to circumvent Switch security measures as part of Team Xecuter. |
| Sony Shows The Future Of Next-Gen VR With Prototype Headset Posted: 07 Dec 2021 03:30 AM PST  Today, Sony held an online event called Sony Technology Day, to showcase different technology that the company is developing. One presentation showed Sony's prototype for an 8K VR headset. |
| Japanese Anime Fans Are Baffled By Demon Slayer Season 2's English Title Posted: 07 Dec 2021 02:30 AM PST  The English title for Demon Slayer's second season is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Entertainment District Arc. A title which is leaving many rather confused. It seems someone is being a little boy, since the Japanese word used for the arc is yuukaku (遊廓), and that word has a much more pointed meaning than… |
| Streamer Has Said 'Mario' 345,000 Times Over The Last Few Days Posted: 06 Dec 2021 08:35 PM PST  If you have ever wanted to hear a word repeated so many times that it loses all meaning to you (semantic satiation, it's a real thing), then please enjoy this stream of a man who has committed himself to saying the word "Mario" over half a million times. |
| Australian Video Games Industry Is Getting Its Own Union Posted: 06 Dec 2021 05:55 PM PST  Game Workers Unite Australia, a body that had previously been an advisory and support organisation, announced today that early next year it will be transitioning to becoming a full-blown union. |
| Posted: 06 Dec 2021 05:00 PM PST  I finally got to see Dune over the weekend (its release was delayed in Australia due to pandemic lockdowns), and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. |
| Henry Cavill Gently Corrects TV Host: It's Warhammer, Not Warcraft Posted: 06 Dec 2021 03:15 PM PST This is a conversation that I'm sure has played out countless times across kitchens and living rooms around the world as children, friends and partners patiently try and explain the difference between a video game universe and a tabletop wargaming universe. I just don't know if it's ever been done so smoothly. |
| You Can’t Replay Campaign Missions In Halo Infinite [Update] Posted: 06 Dec 2021 02:20 PM PST  One of the joys of Halo is its replayability. Ask any devotee and you'll get some story about endlessly rerunning "The Library" in Halo: Combat Evolved, or replaying Halo 2's "Delta Halo" to get out of bounds and explore that uncannily Canada-looking mountain range. Sadly, at least at launch, you can't do any of that… |
| Nintendo Might Have To Make Pre-Order Refunds Easier After Losing Lawsuit Posted: 06 Dec 2021 02:00 PM PST  Last week, following a lengthy appeal process, the Federation of German Consumer Organisations (VZBV) successfully argued that Nintendo's current eShop pre-order return policies are insufficiently flexible, and the console maker may now have to further loosen its heavily criticized digital pre-order refund rules to be… |
| Dead Cells' Constant Mutations Make It One Of The Best Games Of 2021, Too Posted: 06 Dec 2021 12:15 PM PST  I love Dead Cells. The side-scrolling combat and platforming are tight, the art is impeccable, and its progression system and unlock curve are among the best I've ever seen. It feels like a near-perfectly designed game. In the three years since its release, it has become even better—and a more interesting indicator of… |
| Twitch's Best Virtual Bartender Wants To Help Viewers With Addiction Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:40 AM PST  It's not every day that you hear about a VTubing bartender whose goal is not to encourage people to get shitfaced but rather to help them avoid overindulging their vices. But, then, Twitch streamer Takahata101 isn't your average VTuber. Previously a gaming streamer, on New Year's Eve of 2020 he debuted a new format,… |
| Halo Infinite's Crystal-Clear Visual Design Puts Its Murky Competitors To Shame Posted: 06 Dec 2021 10:40 AM PST  I cannot believe I am praising a video game because I can see it, but hear me out. Somewhere along the line, maybe in the last decade and some change, shooters have become a visual mess. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to squint hard in games like Battlefield to try and determine if I'm looking at an enemy… |
| Unreal's Matrix Teaser Has People Debating Whether Keanu Reeves Is Real Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:55 AM PST  Today, Unreal Engine released an extremely short teaser trailer for its own "boundary-pushing cinematic and real-time tech demo," The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience. The teaser featured an existential Keanu Reeves looking into the camera and asking a real stumper of a question: "How do we know what is… |
| Halo Infinite's Ridiculous Physics Are Just Like The Old Games Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:15 AM PST  You can do a whole lot in Halo Infinite. You can get completely lost in forests on a derelict alien space station. You can mow down hordes of religious aliens with a kit of futuristic weapons and gadgets. You can also, apparently, fly halfway across the map, thanks to a newly discovered exploit that oozes Breath of… |
| The Best Moment In Final Fantasy XIV’s Endwalker Launch So Far Posted: 06 Dec 2021 07:50 AM PST  Saving the world over and over again is nice, but when are we going to eat? In one of Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker's more intimate scenes, our hero of light and her friends share a scholarly fast food feast, and catboy G'raha Tia is delighted to learn that yes, he can has cheeseburger. |
| Call Of Duty: Warzone Devs Stage Walkout Over Layoffs [Update] Posted: 06 Dec 2021 07:30 AM PST  Update: 12/7/21, 12:06 p.m. ET: Now in its second day, Activision Blizzard workers involved in the Raven walkout say QA from other studios have joined in from offices in Texas, Minnesota, and California, including at Blizzard's Irvine campus. |
| K-pop Fans Want The Korean Music Industry To Fight Climate Change Posted: 06 Dec 2021 04:00 AM PST  Once again, K-pop fans prove themselves among the most active activists. This time, around 10,000 of them from 83 different countries are calling for Korean music companies to do their part in combating climate change. |
| Japan's Biggest YouTuber Bought The $10,000 Gucci Xbox Posted: 06 Dec 2021 02:30 AM PST  With over 10 million subscribers, Hikakin is Japan's biggest YouTuber. He recently bought himself a $10,000 Gucci-designed Xbox Series X. I'm not sure which is more amazing—that he bought the Gucci Xbox or any Xbox at all. |
| Halo Infinite: The Kotaku Review Posted: 06 Dec 2021 12:02 AM PST  How do you even consider Halo Infinite in totality? Not just any Halo game but this Halo game—one that was supposed to herald a new generation of Xboxes but was delayed out of the launch window; one that's had no shortage of public scrutiny over its tumultuous development process; one that's not even out yet but has… |
