![]() Two decades after it was cancelled, Star Fox 2 finally came out as a bundle-in with the SNES Classic. Kotaku is throwing a self-pity party today. Along with a bunch of Switch and 3DS games, Nintendo released a new Super Nintendo game in 2017. Where PUBG feels like the ur-game, Splatoon 2 is the game that changes up its genre. ![]() Following the publishing of their Fallout 4 review - which was about a week later than most other outlets - Kotaku released an article today: “ A Price of Games Journalism.” Written by Stephen Totilo, the premise of the piece is justification for what the website writes (or leaks, rather) in an attempt to make the big, bad publisher look evil. Of all the multiplayer games I played this year, Splatoon 2 was the most unique. The two that have scorned Kotaku the most: Bethesda, makers of Fallout 4, and Ubisoft, publisher of the Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry series. ![]() The article begins with claims that Kotaku has been blacklisted by both of these publishers. “They’ve cut off our access to their games and creators, omitted us from their widespread mailings of early review copies, and, most galling, ignored all of our requests for comment on any news stories,” Totilo writes.īased on the late release of Kotaku’s Fallout 4 review, I fully believe they’ve been blacklisted by at least Bethesda. Here’s the thing, though, their attempted defense stands on shaky grounds. Luckily for current-day me, 2018 also had several great hits. It’s too bad that 2017 Maddy didn’t play Assassin’s Creed: Originsand Hollow Knightwhen they came out if she had, they would have been on her 2017 best-of list. Both Bethesda and Ubisoft have one thing in common when it comes to Kotaku, both are victims of Kotaku’s reporting. Immortals Fenyx Rising is the best game that publisher Ubisoft released in 2020, despite being shoved into the holiday season behind its bigger siblings. Maddys Top 10 Games Of 2018 In 2018, I enjoyed playing some excellent games from, uh, 2017. In 2013, Kotaku published a detailed report on Fallout 4, not just confirming its existence, but leaking a crap ton of information, including the Boston setting, the character Preston Garvey, and even direct lines from the game. In 2014, they did something similar with Ubisoft, leaking the existence of Assassin’s Creed Victory (renamed Syndicate). This came after the outlet reported on both Unity and Rogue before they were announced as well.
