That’s Quite The Capcom Action Figure You Have There

Lost Planet 2 is one of those games time simply stomped all over then punched out of your memory, but with a sequel on the way, the franchise has one more (last?) shot at relevancy. Which is as good a reason as any I can think of for this amazing Lost Planet 2 figure to only be turning up now.


A Monster Hunter Game More People Might Actually Play

Look, I know there’s this weird underground movementg trying to get Monster Hunter going in the West, but most people – myself included – just aren’t feeling it. Mostly that’s down to the combat and reliance on party multiplayer, but I’m starting to wonder if the game’s looks don’t have something to do with it.


Why Ace Attorney Investigations 2 Never Made It To America

Here in the United States, we’ve seen English releases of every Ace Attorney game to date — except for one. Ace Attorney Investigations 2, the sequel to the spinoff that put you in the prosecuting pants of the stylish Miles Edgeworth (as opposed to Phoenix Wright, the hotshot lawyer who stars in most of the Ace Attorney games), never made it to the West in any form.


Dead Rising 3 Explores A Grittier Sort Of Zombie Apocalypse

Dead Rising 3 isn’t designed to be the laugh riot of the older Dead Risings. The Xbox One exclusive from Capcom Vancouver is a grittier kind of zombie game.


The World Of Dragon’s Dogma Is Going Portable (But Not The Action)

OK, so it’s not actually a handheld port of Dragon’s Dogma. Capcom has announced Dragon’s Dogma Quest for the PS Vita: a 2D “network compatible RPG” set in the Dragon’s Dogma world.


This Is Why Remember Me Is A Great Piece Of Science Fiction

Maybe you’re on the fence about Remember Me, the cyberpunk action/platformer hybrid that came out this week. Critical reaction to the Capcom published has been all over the map, but Kotaku video editor Chris Person and I found a lot to like about it.


Remember Me: Beautiful Or Pretentious? These Six Critics Can’t Decide

Whether they consider it the artistic achievement of the decade or just a boring, linear sci-fi brawler, one thing reviewers agree on is that Remember Me is rough around the edges. The question is how rough.


It Doesn’t Matter That Remember Me’s Main Character Is A Black Woman

I wasn’t sure that I was going to write about the race of Remember Me‘s heroine because I wasn’t sure there’d be anything to write about. And after having played the game, I can say that Nilin’s ethnic make-up plays no part in the world-building of the new Capcom adventure.


The Best 2D Arcade Game Backgrounds

Classic 2D arcade platformers, brawlers and beat ‘em ups can have amazing background art — with pixel perfect details and a wonderful colour palette. Unlike the similarly awesome 2D fighter backgrounds, people don’t pay as much attention to these.


Remember Me: The Kotaku Review

At first, I thought that Remember Me would be one of those games where I liked its ideas more than its execution. But, even though it’s surrounded by some rough gameplay and well-worn templates, the core concept behind the game — control over what we choose to hold onto — comes to life in ambitious ways.
