Tokyo Game Show 2018 is under way and, like all major video game conventions, the biggest upcoming games are out in full force. While Tokyo Game Show tends to have quite a healthy selection of mobile and indie titles, console blockbusters also receive a great deal of attention.
This year we walked around the show floor, visiting booths and taking note of the biggest games being exhibited so we could give you an overview of the hot up-and-coming experiences that Japanese gamers are eager to play. While we made an effort to take pictures of every booth for the relevant games, in some cases photography was prohibited, so we’ve used recent screenshots for them as a substitute.
Tokyo Game Show has already delivered some exciting news and trailers. Most notably, Capcom has released a new Devil May Cry 5 trailer and detailed the Deluxe Edition. A Resident Evil 2 Remake trailer focused on Claire also made its debut during the show. In the week leading up to the start of Tokyo Game Show, Sony held the PlayStation LineUp Tour and provided a fresh look at some brutal Sekiro: Shadow’s Die Twice gameplay, played host to the announcement of a new Samurai Shodown, and revealed Judge Eyes, a new project from the team behind the Yakuza series.
Coinciding with the start of Tokyo Game Show was also the announcement of the PlayStation Classic, a mini version of the original PlayStation that comes with 20 “generation-defining” games. The PlayStation Classic is set to launch in December.
Without further ado, join us on an abridged look at the massive show floor at Tokyo Game Show 2018.
Marvel’s Defenders may continue, although Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage may not always be the stars.
Marvel TV Head Jeph Loeb told Entertainment Weekly there is potential for a continuation of the series, saying, “all we’ve ever said is that there are no plans right now
. It doesn’t mean that it’s off the table.”
That could mean much more than just another season with series regulars, however. “It doesn’t mean that it even has to be with the original characters that were in the first Defenders” Loeb said.
When asked to elaborate, he said, “There are lots of Avengers, and through that, you should be able to ascertain that there may be lots of Defenders.
With the PlayStation Classic’s announcement this week came the exciting news of 20 classic PS1 games packed in a mini nostalgia console. Some questions about the hardware came from its initial announcement, however.
One of the biggest lingering questions concerns the way the PlayStation Classic will actually be packaged. The box for the system notably revealed that a USB AC Adaptor would be sold separately. Speaking to IGN via email, a PlayStation spokesperson did not comment on the decision to sell power supplies separately, but did note that many widely available power sources could be used.
The Netflix limited series, Maniac, debuts Friday, September 21. This is a spoiler-free review for all 10 episodes.
Maniac, a 10-part event series starring Jonah Hill and Emma Stone – who reunite for the first time since Superbad provided both of them with breakout roles – is a moderately-amusing, overly-trippy romp that’s sure to garner even more attention now that director Cary Fukunaga, of True Detective: Season 1 fame, has been hired to helm Bond 25.
Hill and Stone, giving it their ambitious all, play lost, damaged souls wandering a satire-saturated “five minutes from now” future world. The results here are mixed, yes, though Maniac’s cardinal sin is that it never touches down long enough to fully resonate emotionally the way it sets out to. It’s unpredictable and full of loopy left turns, sure, but it’s also often dull. Most definitely, it’s another instance of a Netflix show blowing its horn for ten notes when five would have done nicely, but it’s also because this specific type of oddball absurdist art doesn’t benefit from the almighty binge.

Not long after seeing the first images of Joaquin Phoenix as The Joker without makeup, fans are getting a glimpse of what his proper Clown Prince of Crime will look like.
Revealed on director Todd Phillips’ Instagram, the “Camera test (w/ sound)” video shows off images of a Joker with makeup on superimposed onto the face of a barefaced Phoenix – but it ends with a few seconds of showing the full shot in makeup. Warner Bros. Pictures also tweeted out the short video.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the best animated series to come out in recent years. Pushing the limits of typical kids shows, Avatar truly made its mark when it first debuted on Nickelodeon. As cartoons go, the show explored some pretty heavy stuff, and its serial format was bold. Nevertheless, it prevailed and went on to become a coveted series for kids and adults alike, even leading an acclaimed sequel series as well, The Legend of Korra.
A number of GameSpot staff members recently were able to play a near-final build of Red Dead Redemption 2, which releases in about a month’s time (October 26) on PS4 and Xbox One. Despite some initial familiarity as a Rockstar game, we discovered a wealth of new features and systems once we scratched the surface. There are a lot of mechanics to tell you about, a lot of stuff that we haven’t seen the full scope of, and potentially a lot of things we haven’t even seen yet. And that’s without diving into Red Dead Online, which largely remains a mystery and won’t launch until November (and even then, only as a beta).
But we’re excited to share all the things we discovered in our time with this highly anticipated open-world Western, so we’ve compiled all the things we noticed in this handy gallery. You’ll learn more about the nitty-gritty details about towns, your horse, your weapons, customization, Arthur himself, and more.
We’ll continue to update it as we uncover the breadth of Red Dead Redemption 2’s systems. Please note that due to the limited amount of available media, not all images will be completely representative of the features they’re depicting.
The first official trailer for the upcoming Captain Marvel movie is finally here, and it covers a lot of the history behind the cosmic Avenger. However, one of the scenes from the trailer–where Captain Marvel punches an elderly woman in the face for no apparent reason–has plenty of people questioning the hero’s moral compass. But as anyone familiar with the character’s history in comics knows, there is a good reason for her aggression.
A major part of Carol Danvers history as Ms. Marvel–before her transformation into Captain Marvel–is the war between the alien Kree and Skrull races. Carol Danvers actually gains her super powers from a Kree military captain who’s named Mar-Vell and spying on the human race to see if Earth is a worthy ally in the fight against the Skrulls. We’ve already seen the Kree in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the blue-skinned Ronan, from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie, is a Kree. As far as we know, we haven’t seen a Skrull in the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet because they are a race of shape-shifters. When the Kree and Skrull’s war comes to Earth, many of the Skrulls try to take over the world by disguising themselves as humans.
So when Carol Danvers punches out the old lady, she’s probably seen through a Skrull’s disguise. Captain Marvel is one of the few Avengers who’s specific power-set makes her perfect for taking on the Skrull. After her physiology is affected by Captain Mar-Vell’s DNA, Carol Danvers gains nearly a dozen superpowers. One of those powers is a limited precognitive sixth sense. It’s a lot like Spider-Man’s spider sense, but instead of simply alerting her to danger, Captain Marvel can see a few seconds into the future when a threat presents itself. Perhaps the Skrull on the train is supposed to get the jump on Captain Marvel, but she senses the attack coming before it happens and decides to strike out first.
