Even GTA 6's price needs to feel "reasonable", says Take-Two boss: hiking past $70 to match inflation "doesn’t make a whole lot of sense"
Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick is once again dancing around the subject of GTA 6’s price tag, declining to pin down a figure while pushing back on rumours that the new Grand Theft Auto will cost more than $70 in the USA. Zelnick made these remarks at iicon, “a first-of-its-kind event designed for business leaders and marketing executives” in Las Vegas, which sounds like a banger setting for a Hitman or Bioshock game. “Consumers pay for the value that you bring to them, and our job is to charge way way way less of the value delivery,” he said. “How…
How can you beat the Arc Turbine? The RivenTides update brought us a good many things: a lovely beach resort, some new gadgets to help with keeping our legs intact, and just so many buried model ships. It also added the Arc Turbine, a new Arc threat that doesn’t seem to do much until you find yourself being pelted by lightning bolts with seemingly no recourse. The new Arc Raiders map has plenty to dig into (literally, in some cases), with the Turbine being front and center. The new Arc threat isn’t localized on Riven Tides, but it will likely…
Vampire Crawlers does a pretty good job of explaining most of its mechanics, but even if you’re a Vampire Survivors veteran, how some stats translate into this game might be a bit confusing.It seems pretty obvious how Area works in Vampire Survivors, but what about Crawlers? The same goes for Magnet. If you’re confused, you’re not alone, and the game does a decent job of obscuring the information you need from you.In this guide, we’re breaking down every stat and effect in Vampire Crawlers, so you know what everything means when choosing upgrades during your runs.All base stats, explained –…
Stranger Things: Tales From '85 showrunner compares it to Star Wars: Clone Wars, as he teases season 2: "These [are] their own unique adventures"
With its mixed reviews and #7 debut in Netflix’s Top 10, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 may not be the runaway hit its creators had anticipated, but showrunner Eric Robles is hopeful that the animated spin-off will find its audience in season 2. Much like how Star Wars: The Clone Wars grew in popularity in the early 2010s.As news of its return landed online, Robles teased what to expect from Tales From ’85’s next chapter and revealed that, while he has “a number in [his] head” as to how long the cartoon will run for, he’s keen not to “overstay…
MindsEye's mission about Build a Rocket Boy's alleged "saboteurs" is a rather meh Hitman impression that saw me waste 30 minutes swearing in a warehouse
Yep, I’ve played it. The new MindsEye mission called Blacklisted. The one which Mark Gerhard, CEO of Build a Rocket Boy, said would “share some of the evidence of the sabotage” he claims was instigated by a malevolent third party around the game’s buggy initial launch.

EA CEO says 85% of the Battlefield 6 and The Sims publisher's QA work uses AI, but it's not taking jobs, it's making them: "We hire more QA people than we ever have"
In an attempt to counter the notion that EA is replacing human labor with AI, CEO Andrew Wilson says the tech has somehow created more jobs within the publisher. As much appears to be what’s happening in the QA department, at least.He addressed concerns during Iicon, a games conference in Las Vegas organized by the Entertainment Software Association, the same outfit behind the now-defunct E3. “I saw some data recently, I think, now almost all – like 85% – of our quality assurance [work] is done with some kind of machine learning or AI-driven algorithm,” he explains during an on-stage…
While you wait for Subnautica 2, here's a moody Bioshock-esque strategy game in which you can put Big Daddies on crabs
As Subnautica 2’s early access launch approaches, my mind inevitably drifts to videogames that explore the pleasures and horrors of the deep blue. Tides of Tethys is one for the Jules Verne fans amongst you, with perhaps a pinch of Warhammer 40,000. It’s an underwater strategy roguelite with city-building elements in which you guide troupes of bathynauts around procedurally generated ocean floors. You’ll need to expand your modular outposts, ensuring your Knights have oxygen and power and food, while dealing with increasingly unfriendly aquatic beasties. I thought the giant crustacean I slew in the just-updated demo was an unfriendly beastie,…
While Diablo 4 launched strong, perfectly blending the darkness of Diablo 2 with the flashy, fast-paced combat of Diablo 3, it’s struggled to stick the landing. With challengers like Last Epoch and Path of Exile 2 providing better endgame experiences and stronger seasonal changes, Blizzard hasn’t quite managed to stem the tides. But Lord of Hatred, the game’s third expansion, hopes to change that. Closing out the Mephisto saga in style, it marks the end of an era for the seminal action RPG, but also the beginning of something new. In my Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred review, I praised…
