See Dark Souls’ giant-ass Great Sword of Artorias in real life

The sword is ‘falling’ more than being ‘swung’ We are somehow still one week away fromDark Souls 3/my birthday, which is good; you have time to buy me something still. Please collaborate amongst yourselves to avoid double-gifting. It is weird, though, with the game effectively out for ages via Xbox One Japanese account tricks andour own review since dropped. How does it feel, for those of you still well within anticipation’s clutches for this, the fifthSoulsgame?...

Silent Hill f plays like a Soulslike because it’s all the craze among the kids these days, or so the devs think

We’ve all seen theseSilent Hill fpreviews showcasing the game’s all-too-familiar combat system. You’d expect a survival horror title, especially one with as long a tradition asSilent Hillhas, to be more tense and atmospheric. But nope, it’s a Soulslike, and the devs think that’s fine. As per IGN, via GameSpark, Motoi Okamoto,Silent Hill‘s series producer, wanted to implement more action and entertainment intofsince its inception. This wish was so strong that Konami decided to go for NeoBards and ask them to develop the game, due to the studio being “tremendously good at making action games....

Sony rolled out a PS3 system update for your gaming pleasure

Keepin’ it stable, yo The North American branch of Sony has gone ahead with update 4.65 for the PlayStation 3, referring to it as a “minor update that improves stability during the use of some features.” Does that protect the PlayStation Network against DDoS attacks? Sadly, no. Considering I still use my PS3 sometimes for various reasons (read: most of my game collection), it’s good to know Sony’s still looking out for those of us who still use a perfectly good system for things....

The new retro: Japanese mystery Back In 1995 looks like a PS1 game

Want to feel old? The PlayStation 1 is retro Ah, 1995. A good vintage. Earthquakes in Russia and Japan combined to kill nearly 10,000, the New York Times published Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto, folks made Harlan Ellison’sI Have No Mouth, and I Must Screaminto a videogame, Coolio was still living in a Gangster’s Paradise. Gosh, it was 20 years ago. Good enough for being retro, far as games go.Back In 1995isn’t the first game to intentionally call back to the low-poly era and won’t be the last....

There’s a new Time Crisis and it’s NOT for iOS

Headed to Japanese arcades in March 2015 I would always go forHouse of the Deadabove all other light-gun arcade games, but if I had any quarters left, I’d often put them towardTime Crisis; usually enough for a single round, which would come to an end withimpressivespeed. While it’s been quite a while since I’ve last played one of these games, it’s comforting to hear Namco hasn’t stopped producing them. The next installment — we’re onTime Crisis 5, now — will appear in Japanese arcades this March....

This faux Comic Jumper advert made me smile

A considerable amount of time goes into putting together silly promotional goodies for games, especially when it comes to smaller studios. Take this ad for Kung-Fu Karl Weinburg, for instance. Does it not look like a page straight out of a ’90s magazine? Badical! Twisted Pixel Games also took a more up-to-date route by creatingTwitter accountsfor many ofComic Jumper‘s characters. For a long time there,Agent Yorkhad my favorite feed; let’s see if TPG can work its magic in a similar way....
