Upskirt shots not included If you’re down for some bizarre crossovers that don’t really make sense, then its time you booted up the free-to-playSpelunker Worldon PS4! From now until August 24, you may get costumes based onNieR: Automatafor use as playable characters. You’ll be able to don the attire of Emil, 2B, A2 and 9S (who I still believe looks like a variant of 2B). Emil looks excited!😊#NieRAutomata outfits are in#SpelunkerWorld, a free to play@PlayStation4 game!...

‘Not a very good thing to do’ The annual DICE Summit is taking place in Las Vegas right now, which means that video game executives from all over the world are gathered together to talk shop. These are the industry’s most influential decision-makers, and you best believe that whenever a technology is as emergent as virtual reality has been, it’s going to be a major topic of discussion. One such conversation between Oculus head of content Jason Rubin and Insomniac Games’ CEO Ted Price took place in front of a live audience....

Motorists and police were fascinated to see a largePac-Manpainted on a stretch of Highway 55 inBuffalo. The highway had already been painted with large, white ovals as part of a program to stop tailgating on the highway.Each oval was suppose to show motorists how far apart their vehicle must be from others, but someone else must have seen power dots in maze instead because they decided to brave traffic and paint the hugePac-Manfigure eating one of the ovals....

Following yesterday’sHelldivers 2update, players have discovered a rather annoying new feature that causes you to die to your own shots if you use the Punisher Plasma while your shield backpack is active. Helldivers 2Update 01.000.300 brought with it a slew of weapon and balance changes, including one to ricochet that’s killed more than a few Helldivers in the last 24 hours. However, one change that’s not mentioned—which leads me to believe it could be unintentional—is to the Punisher Plasma, which will now rebound off of the inside of a shield backpack’s shield when it’s active, causing what you might expect as a result: hot death....

This week’s show is a cluttered and slightly overlong one, but I think you’ll quite enjoy it. It veers dangerously close to insightful relevance at times (theShadow Complexdiscussion), suddenly switching to our typically nonsensical sex jokes until finally arriving at one of the best games-unrelated conversations I think we’ve ever had.

It’s coming to Europe and Latin America too! Project X Zone, the crazy crossover game featuring Namco Bandai, Capcom, and Sega characters all working together, is coming to North America! Namco will be bringing the role-playing fighting game hybrid to North American, European, Australia, and Latin American shores with full English localization, at least in terms of the text. The voice acting, on the other hand, will just be sticking with the original Japanese voices....

A question of perspective Earlier today,during Sony’s State of Play presentation, it was announced that Pillow Castle Games’ lateral-thinking puzzlerSuperliminalwill be landing in the PS4 in 2020, following on from its release on PC back in November. Superliminalis a unique, illusory adventure that presents the player with numerous problems, all of which must be overcome with some clever use of forced perspective. The player must manipulate items within the environment in all dimensions, creating steps, ladders, destructive tools and even exits themselves....

Sonic the Hedgehog first appeared in 1990’sRad Mobilefor arcade a few months before the firstSonic the Hedgehoggame. He appears as an ornament dangling from the ceiling of the car. I wanted to get that bit of trivia out of the way because it’s often all anybody knows aboutRad Mobile. That is, if they even remember the name. I say that because I could never really remember it. Not until I became interested in pre-3D racing games....

Here’s to you Konami is bringingMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Painto Cologne, Germany for gamescom next month. I wasn’t keeping track, but this is the first time the game will be “available for the public to play,” according to the company. I’m struggling to fathom what that line is going to look like. PES 2016will also be at Konami’s gamescom booth. PoorPES. This weekend, I replayed the standalone prologue,Ground Zeroes, to help tide me over until Jun 07, 2025....

The kids are all right The latest fromRiverbondcreator Cococucumber isEcho Generation, a small-town, coming-of-age, early-’90s adventure with monsters, mechs, and turn-based battles fought with sports equipment. It was one of a few pleasant surprises that surfaced during today’s Xbox Games Showcase pre-show. The premise seems to draw from not justStranger Things, but alsoEarthBound– “a mysterious object crashes in the cornfields of a quiet Canadian town” – and that vibe could work super well....

We’d almost have to jump to conclusions to make this story about a touch screen patent work on a videogame Web site. Invented by Sony boss Phil Harrison himself, this patent for a handheld “device with touchscreen and digital tactile pixels” was granted on Friday. I only understood about 30% of theapplication, but the text does say that the “device may be configured for use as a game device, a phone, a portable media player, an email device, web browser device and the like....

The studio behind Painkiller and Bulletstorm People Can Fly is partnering with publisher Square Enix for a “new high-end original title for console and PC.” There. Now you know as much as I do about it! “We’re building a game we all want to play which will be the perfect addition to our portfolio,” said Lee Singleton, head of studio at Square Enix London Studios. Whatever this mystery project is, we won’t be seeing it in a couple weeks at E3 2017....

Err, ‘Surprise Box’ It’s hard for me to talk about mystery boxes without thinking of thisFamily Guyclip. “A mystery box could be anything! It could even be a boat!” Square Enix has anew mystery box, but the publisher’s pretty up-front about the fact that it won’t contain a boat. Instead, it has some combination of five digital PC games for $10. Supposedly, the contents are worth over $80 (although that was probably upon initial release, and nowhere near what they’re worth now)....
