Steve Downes, the iconic voice behind Master Chief from the Halo franchise, has joined the chorus of high-profile voice actors speaking out against the use of AI in voice performances. However, his concern is very specifically related to the alarming prospect of developers using real voice recordings to make AI clones of those voices.In a YouTube AMA going live today, Downes made it very clear that he does not approve of anyone using AI to replicate his voice. “That’s where we cross a line that gets into an area that I am uncomfortable with,” Downes said in a clip taken…
Following the rollout of a new Counter-Strike 2 update and the start of Premier Season 4, dozens of reports of unjustified VAC bans have been flying in from players. X and Reddit are awash with screenshots and clips of people being banned by Valve’s anti-cheat in the hours following the update’s rollout, with the majority claiming to be legitimate players that have never cheated – emphasis, as always, on ‘claiming.’ Among those being banned is one of the designers for the Alpine map that was just officially brought into CS2 in the new update. Something has clearly changed with VAC’s…
Hollywood had been asking Bethesda to make a Fallout movie or TV show for a decade before the hit Prime Video TV show adaptation, according to studio veteran Emil Pagliarulo, but the developer continually refused until they found the right people to run the show.In an interview with our pals at PC Gamer, Pagliarulo explained why Bethesda kept rejecting pitches from Hollywood. Apparently, it’s all thanks to the face of the studio, Todd Howard.”Credit to Todd Howard, we could have made a Fallout movie or Fallout TV show a decade ago – we had certainly been asked. But Hollywood, at…
Not really sure you can stake a claim on the Middle Ages, lads. Kingdom Come Deliverance fans have been quick to criticize new medieval RPG, Knight’s Path, for being, in their eyes, too similar to Warhorse’s 2025 epic. Turns out, in fact, that anything striving for historical accuracy (even if there are wyverns in this one) will tend to look similar – that’s probably why you’re interested in it. Knight’s Path released a trailer yesterday, and it got a lot of attention. The YouTube video has garnered a very respectable 260k views at the time of writing, and the X…
After you complete your first run in Resident Evil 4 you’ll be able to carry your arsenal through to your next playthrough, and it also gives you access to bonus weapons. They’re all pretty cool, but there are three weapons you can attain relatively easily — better yet, there’s an attachment which can grant every weapon infinite ammo, allowing you to breeze through any challenge.For a full breakdown on how to get infinite ammo for the Infinite Rocket Launcher, Chicago Sweeper, Handcannon, and literally every other weapon in the game via the Cat Ears, just read through our Resident Evil…
Forza Horizon 6 takes the series to Japan, and while the gameplay reveal at today’s Xbox Developer Direct was largely focused on real-life inspirations, there was also a strong undercurrent of pure anime throughout. The few seconds we saw of the nighttime Touge Battle mode looked like a straight-up adaptation of Initial D, and the whole thing ended on what appears to be a full-sized Gundam.There was never any question that fans would turn an open-world racing game set in Japan into Initial D. The wildly popular anime and manga series is all about street racing, and is best known…
Garry’s Mod is a breeding ground for creativity. It has launched many stalwarts of the popular gaming consciousness into the stratosphere, and after 20 years, is planning on a spiritual successor – currently entitled s&box. But the devs aren’t 100% convinced by that name. The original (GMod, as it’s known to nearly everyone), is sharp, it’s snappy; it sticks in the memory. Tough ask, then, to come up with something equally as iconic. Well, in the sandbox game-spirit of GMod and its openness to outside influence, Garry Newman (he’s the Garry in Garry’s Mod, just so you know) has taken…

Ralph Fulton, Playground Games general manager and game director on the new Fable, is drawing a distinct line between what his reboot of the classic RPG series is and isn’t.For one, it’s not a Lionhead game. The OG Fable developer shut down in 2016, and Playground isn’t trying to simply dupe the recipe for that studio’s special sauce.In an interview with Xbox Wire, Fulton revealed that Playground received a “treasure trove of documents from Lionhead that had been in storage” to serve as a navigating star as the new developers worked on rebooting the franchise. However, Fulton also made clear,…
VPNs are now banned in the Indian region of Kashmir. The Indian government has taken this stance due to “threats to national security,” but, ultimately, as with all instances of VPN restrictions, this just feels extremely heavy-handed to me. To take the principle to absurd levels, it’d be like banning clothes just because some criminals might use them to disguise themselves. This VPN ban was introduced on December 29, so the people of Kashmir have now been living VPNlessly for a few weeks. There’s a long history of conflict in the region (as it lies on the oft-disputed border between…
