A video of a man reportedly having a seizure in VRChat, a popular VR game akin to Second Life, has attracted attention from people across the internet — including VRChat Inc.’s executive team. In the video above, a group of VRChat players can be seen crowding around a man with a robot avatar, who is convulsing on the ground. “If you don’t know about VRChat there are so many jokers on there,” Rogue Shadow says. But Millar, a long-time veteran of the video game industry, said that he was unsurpris

Everyone at the Polygon office is excited to get their hands on Nintendo Labo, Nintendo’s new DIY-cardboard-and-games peripheral, but no one wants to wait three months to play with the new peripherals.

Last weekend, for the first time ever, I won a Raid Battle in Pokémon Go. And it wasn’t just a standard Raid, but a legendary Pokémon battle — the most anxiety-inducing, important Raid battles of all. Imagine how stoked I was to be surrounded by enough high-level trainers to actually defeat Kyogre, the legendary Pokémon featured in Raid battles nationwide for a limited time. After winning a Raid battle, everyone is given the chance to capture the legendary Pokémon. And I missed Kyogre seven time

The Wolves in the Walls is a story told through VR that begins with a little girl drawing your eyes. The short, created by Fable Studio is a big step up from Oculus Story Studios’ Henry, one of the early narrative experiences in VR. “There was a moment that took us all back in Henry, where this little hedgehog makes eye contact with you,” Pete Billington, the director of Wolves in the Walls, told Polygon. Wolves in the Walls has been in development for years, and is based on the story by Neil Ga

We get a lot of stuff coming into early access these days, especially on Steam. Slay The Spire surprised me, however, not just because of the reception it’s received from fans but for actually putting the gameplay first in the development cycle. I’ve found an early access game that’s stable and a ton of fun to play right out of the gate. Slay The Spire is a deck-building game smashed up with a roguelike.

The Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds team is working on the game’s combat, and one of its first steps is rebalancing the blue zone that keeps players in one area for their gunfights. “We performed a series of internal tests to find ways to address this issue.

Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon’s Justice League will be available to purchase on home video this March, and the Blu-ray release contains one bonus feature that may give Snyder fans a little bit of hope. For months, Snyder devotees have theorized about and demanded a second release of Justice League that was more in-tuned to Snyder’s vision.
