This week we use a chain to fight the power, try to figure out what’s going on with Chris Redfield’s face, check out a ton of new PS5 games, discuss the role of police in games and visit the ugliest castle in video game history.

Recent weeks of protests against police brutality and racism have upended video games’ ability to depict…”]
It’s not just TV and movies that have problems with their portrayals of cops. Games have a long history of showing cops as selfless, honorable heroes.

The veteran Resident Evil protagonist seems to fill whatever shape Capcom needs at the time, resulting in several drastically different appearances across the franchise.

Chris, buddy, you doing alright?
The sound design in Clubhouse Games is possibly some of the best this generation. I love the way cards shuffle and dice rattle.

If you kneel in front of the cops while holding a special pearl in just the right spot, you unlock the ability to defund them.

Trailers & Videos From The Past Week
Is that an X-Wing I see….(It’s not.)
I wasn’t that interested in this game and now suddenly I want it very badly.
The Ratchet & Clank reboot on PS4 is one of the best action platformers made in the last decade. So I’m a little excited about this.
Death Stranding called, it’s suing you.
I’m going to give Wasteland 2 a second chance. I tried it once on console and I hated it. But maybe on PC…

One response to “Welcome To The Ugliest Castle In The World”
Hey Kotaku, are you struggling for content?
I’m struggling with this awful new chat system… does it even alert us anymore? My “score” seems to have disappeared 🙁 (15+k, no small feat!) and no up/downvotes?
What made you originalish is now gone alas… seems very half hearted now.
