See Inside A PlayStation 3 Factory, Watch Consoles Being Built

Sony recently announced that it would be building some PlayStation 3 consoles in Brazil, which would for most of us have been a fairly inconsequential piece of news, if not for the fact there’s some video of the factory floor, showing Sony workers putting the machines together. And it’s fascinating.


The Next Assassin’s Creed Game Will Be Set In…Brazil?

Ubisoft Brazil managing director Bertrand Chaverot has reportedly told local site techtudo that the next game in the publisher’s blockbuster series will be taking place in the South American nation.


The Sega Console That Was Just For Girls

Chances are the Sega consoles you played, or at least saw growing up, were actually made by Sega. But not everyone was afforded that luxury. In some territories, the hardware had to be manufactured and sold by third-party vendors, resulting in some bizarre systems like this: The Master System Girl.


Now You Can Pee All Over Guitar Hero

Sega, you now have some competition in the urinal game market. Guitar Pee is an installation you can currently find in some men’s toilets in São Paulo, Brazil.


Wounded Galatian: Max Payne 3′s Soccer Mission And Its Fictitious Team

This only marginally qualifies as a spoiler alert, because if you’ve played Max Payne 3 for longer than 20 minutes, you’ve encountered this mission already. It revolves around a shootout in the locker room of the Galatians FC in Sao Paulo, Brazil, which, as a quick internet search plus common sense reveals, ain’t a real team.


Brazilians Shake Their Asses To Mario

Brazil’s Carnival parades are some of the biggest, and certainly the danciest shindigs on Earth. Especially when they draft the Mushroom Kingdom in to help out.


The PS Vita’s Australian Prices Aren’t So Bad…

$896. That’s how much Brazilian gamers will be forking out for the PS Vita once it becomes available in the South American country. The staggering price was uncovered by Kotaku Brazil, citing sources “close to retail”.


Poorly-Dubbed Trailer Lands Uncharted 3 In Trouble With Brazilians

As English-speakers, we take for granted a lot of things: One, that every game will either be originally published in our language or localised for it (and woe betide those that aren’t…) Two: That the voice acting, if incompetent, will at least sound poorly acted and not read off a page.


Maybe We’re Not The Worst Off When It Comes To Game Prices…

Alright everyone. Set your phasers to rage, and please don’t shoot the messenger! We’ve spent a lot of time here at Kotaku discussing video game prices. This comic strip is saying we have nothing to complain about.


You Don’t Score Points For Killing Children In Grand Theft Auto

Last Thursday, Brazil was visited by its own Columbine massacre. Wellington Menezes de Oliveira, 23, opened fire at a school in Rio de Janeiro killing 12 pupils and injuring 13 others, aged between 12 and 14 years old. Wellington killed himself minutes later, after being shot by a policeman. The country was shocked – and then the witch hunt started. It was almost inevitable that like Columbine before, video games were fingered by some looking for a simple explanation.
