E3: Skyward Sword arriving this holiday with gold remote

Nintendo announced at their E3 presentation thatThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Swordwill be soaring its way into shops and sweaty fanboy palms this holiday season. Shigeru Miyamoto also revealed that a gold Wii Remote will be arriving at the same time, which will be handy given how heavily the title relies on motion controls for attacks and item selection. Have to say, Nintendo missed a trick by not having Miyamoto raise the gold remote into the air as the presentation concert orchestra played theZelda‘item discovered’ sound....

Final Fantasy XIV’s official documentary series continues, as Square Enix spotlights music and aesthetics

‘Spawning the Sounds’ is worth a listen Final Fantasy XIVcould go down in history as one of the most beautiful games ever made. Scratch that: most beautiful pieces of art ever made. Scratch that: I’m making the push for that to happen right now, not “at some point in history.” Need proof? Look no further than Square Enix’s own “Creation of Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers” docu-series, which takes a look at each facet of the game in bite-sized 10-15 minute episodes: which, when added together, will form a Voltron of a documentary....

Former Bulletstorm developer on move toward smaller games

Guns, guns, guns…no guns? Speaking with GamesIndustry International, Adrian Chmielarz, People Can Fly’s former co-owner and creative director, had this to say: “We think that video games are not all they can be. Actually, most of them are the same formula in a constantly updated skin. And that’s fine, but we think there’s room for more variety, for paradigms challenged and for the formulas reinvented.” It doesn’t ring dissonant to these ears, but it’s a bold enough statement when you consider how Chmielarz has backed it up....

Getting Weird with Wes: A clam with an office, the Citizen Kane of video games, and finger your way to freedom

I can’t seem to get goats out of my life [Getting Weird with Wesis a series meant to highlight all the bizarre shit floating around out there in the gaming universe. I hate normal things. Join me in celebrating the strange.] I took last weekend off from Getting Weird with Wes because I was out in the woods, well, getting weird with Wes.

GOG gave us 270(!) games to give away, come win a free game

No, seriously, come win a free game You know what the big bummer about contests is? You always have a chance to win, but that chance is usually fairly low. Even if only 50 people entered, you’d still have like a 10 percent chance of winning if there were 5 prizes. The odds are rarely in your favor. I aced my freshman year statistics class so I feel comfortable making the following assertion: The more prizes in a contest, the higher the probability (statistics term) is that you will be a winner....

How you’ll find indie games on Xbox One

Things have changed It’s no secret that Microsoft dropped the ball with indie games on the Xbox 360. A good start turned into a mess of a situation that left a bad taste in many developers’ mouths. But it sounds like they’re starting clean with their newly announced ID@Xbox independent developer publishing program, announced at gamescom this morning. One of the major concerns for both indie game makers and the gamers that would play their games was that independent titles became increasingly difficult to find on Xbox Live, working up to a point where they’re essentially lost in a mess of other offered content....

In a reverse Rosalina amiibo situation, someone just got a ton of accidental Kens

Can’t hold all those Kens “Man hate-buys Rosalina & Luma amiibo in bulk so fans can’t have them.”That wonderful headline from our own Brett Makedonski is burned into my brain. I had enough trouble picking up amiibo in 2015, and knowing that someone loathed the fictional Rosalina character so much that he’d allegedly buy “$4,000 worth of figures” so other people couldn’t have them was wild. For those of you who avoided amiibo entirely in 2015, you probably made the right call:that year sucked....
