Twitch streamer Boba has just introduced Metal Gear Solid speedrunners to a previously undiscovered glitch that shaves over two minutes of the game. The glitch happens during the never-ending staircase sequence where players must battle up the stairs. Boba is stopped by two guards where she is attacked and accidentally gets pushed through the door that’s normally locked. The amazing thing is that in the 23 years of the game’s existence, no one has discovered this glitch, only to be discovered by a first-time player of the game. At first, Boba thought it was an old glitch that had already been discovered, but with the overwhelming reaction from the MGS speedrunning community, giving the glitch the name the “Boba Skip,” the streamer is quickly realizing just what her happy accident has done ...

For the first time in more than three decades, Nintendo has swept the Top 30 video games charts in Japan, completely dominating the list with Switch titles. Standing among the top of Famitsu’s weekly list are Switch versions of familiar names like Minecraft, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Super Mario Maker 2 and even an adventure game based on the cult classic Japanese cartoon Crayon Shin-Chan. The last time all 30 games were occupied by the same platform and company was back in 1988, when Nintendo’s Famicom (the Japanese version of NES) reigned over the charts. “It wasn’t that unusual during the early 1990s for the Top 30 to be a combination of Famicom, Super Famicom and Game Boy games, but never just one,” tweeted the Game Data Library, a platform tracking Japanese vi...

After creating new content for Team Fortress 2 when Steam decided to stop supporting the game, Amper Software is now back again, porting the original 2007 cult classic over to a whole new engine. The original game launched almost a decade and a half ago utilizing Valve‘s Source engine, but the system is unsurprisingly showing signs of age and so Amper decided t0 rebuild the title on the yet-to-be-released Source 2 engine, promising enhanced visuals paired with much better performance. “Migrating to a completely new engine means redoing everything from scratch,” the project’s lead programmer Daniel Basiuc-Brinzei told Kotaku. “Redoing everything from scratch, in our case, means redesigning the aforementioned poor decisions in a more optimized way. Which, in general means drastically improve...

Almost a year after its initial release on PC and the Nintendo Switch, Supergiant Games‘ award-winning roguelite title Hades has finally arrived on both PlayStation and Xbox. Supported by both previous-gen and next-gen consoles, Hades dropped for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on August 13. As you’d expected, the dungeon crawler will run at 60 frames per second at 1080p on both previous-gen consoles, with resolutions elevated to 4K at the same framerate for the next-gen models. Unfortunately, for those who already have it on PC or the Switch, the save files won’t be able to transfer over to the new platforms, but Supergiant is making up for that with physical editions of the game, which also come with a download code for the game’s soundtrack as well as...
