But, as we note in our four-out-of-five Forza Horizon 6 review, developer Playground Games made “one of the most convincing open worlds ever.”The Japan…

No, that "Lenovo" retro handheld seemingly filled with illegal ROMs at Aliexpress isn't fake
Lenovo has confirmed that a retro handheld floating round AliExpress wearing the brand is actually officially licensed. Normally, that wouldn’t be a biggie, as I’ve spotted the tech company’s name on weird “free” earbuds at Chinese retailers in the past. The difference this time around is that the Game Boy clones being sold by third parties come with a bunch of ROMs, and that’s more likely illegal.The Lenovo “G02” handheld was first spotted by Retro Dodo, with the publication originally questioning whether it was fake. That makes sense given that the company is better known for making high-end gaming handhelds…

Defining a game’s genre can sometimes be tricky. For instance, is the varied Crimson Desert a true action-RPG or more of an open-world game like Grand Theft Auto? Similarly, figuring out what lane the packed survival RPG Dune: Awakening lives in has been a bugbear for the devs, though they gradually landed on a particular label early on.Joel Bylos, game director of Dune: Awakening, discusses trying to define Funcom’s take on Frank Herbert’s universe in a new interview with FRVR. “Survival game” felt like an immediately fitting label, but the development team had broader aspirations, too. Bylos says, “I think…

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick is calling out technology conglomerates for purportedly lying about the real reasons behind mass downsizings in recent years.In an interview with Games Industry, Zelnick tackles the issue of AI in game development, striking a familiar optimistic tone while drawing a hard line between AI-generated games and the use of AI to increase efficiency. “For those who believe you’ll press a button and make a competitive game, good luck. Technology doesn’t do that. Technology doesn’t create. Technology enables human beings to create,” he says.For context, Zelnick says he prefers the word technology over AI “because technology encompasses…
