News::Video Game Art Could Do With A Little More Respect

In case you're asleep by the time it's posted, almost every night on Kotaku I run a feature called Fine Art. It's a showcase of the work of artists working in (or dabbling in) the video game business. I do this post for a number of reasons. It's fun, it's rad art, there's a degree of closure in it since it's a career path I once nearly went down myself. Another reason, though, is that these guys and girls deserve more credit than they get.

News::The Pros and Cons of Hubs in MMOs

Despite the fact that most online games tend to be skewing towards a more solo-friendly approach, developers do spend a lot of time working on creating hubs of interest for players to congregate and socialize. The hope is that by providing a central hub in an mmorpg, players will realize that they're actually participating in a truly "massively multiplayer" experience. Yet there are both positive and negative aspects of having mmo hubs in the game. MMO-Play examine both sides of the issue as we discuss the pros and cons of hubs in mmos.

News::Assassins Creed Rogue - first impressions | a worthy templar

Load The Game - "Because Assassins Creed Rogue is a last generation title and because it has launched right beside his big brother, Assassins Creed Unity, you might dismiss it as just another cash-grab; a quick buck made off Assassins Creed IV: Black Flags excellent naval combat. If these are your current thoughts, Im here to tell you couldnt be more wrong. I have yet to finish the entire campaign, but after spending about seven hours navigating the treacherous waters of the North Atlantic and other regions, I can tell you Assassins Creed Rogue is a worthy addition to the overall franchise, one which I hope will spawn several other spin-offs like it in the future i.e. I hope well get to play as more templars."

News::Assassin's Creed Unity (2014) Review | FilmGamesEtc

In 2007, Assassins Creed exploded onto the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles promising open ended stealth assassinations with a compelling historical narrative. The game initially didnt fully deliver on all promises made, therefore leaving gamers bitterly disappointed about an experience they had been looking forward to since snippets of the game were first unveiled to the public. Forward seven years and Assassins Creed Unity is the next chapter in the long running Assassins Creed story arc, released this week on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Running up to its launch, Unity has promised new black box style assassination missions and a bustling recreation of an iconic Paris. Will Unity finally deliver on some promises made nearly a decade ago, or will it simply disappoint like so many other Assassins Creed games before it?

News::Oculus Rift Gets a Dungeon Crawler - Crystal Rift

Marcus Estrada writes: "Dungeon crawlers are a very classic type of video game that developers continue to create to this day. One of the latest examples is Crystal Rift which is currently in development. However, this title brings old and new together by putting a focus on virtual reality play. Whether you've got an Oculus Rift or will even get Samsung's Gear VR you'll be able to experience the game as it was meant to be played. You must explore a dark dungeon on a grid-based pathway. Each step you take leads you past dangerous traps, puzzles and locked doors, as well as enemies to fight or avoid."

News::Ultima Online Meets Neverwinter Nights in Shards Online

Marcus Estrada writes: "The MMO industry is huge, but surprisingly not full of variety. For the longest time every MMO simply followed the templates set by trailblazers, and only recently have begun to come out of their collective shells. Shards Online looks to be a familiar MMO but with a very unique twist. Instead of simply allowing the expected fantasy RPG character leveling and battling, players themselves will be able to create their own worlds as well as make up new gameplay modes and objects."

I had fun with the game at PAX Prime and found the Super Stardust-esque 3D stages to be an interesting new challenge. Felt like I barely scratched the surface, though -- as the trailer says, there's over 50 levels -- so I'm ready for a proper uninterrupted play session later this month.
