Obbe Vermeij, former technical director at Rockstar North, says if he was Rockstar he'd be worried somebody uses AI to convert the PS5 version of GTA 6 to PC. Probably doable for tens of thousands of dollars, he thinks. If that's what speeds up the real PC version, I can't tell if that's good news.

People dug through the Ocarina of Time remake files and found Master Quest references. Mirrored world, cows in Jabu-Jabu's Belly, and it looks like you'd unlock it by owning DLC. Nintendo hasn't said anything. If it's paid I'm gonna complain and then buy it anyway.

Nier Automata on Steam is a 366GB install right now. It was about 50GB. A small update to add languages looks like it attached the whole game to every DLC pack. Square Enix said sorry and is working on a fix. Until then: Properties, DLC, untick everything.

Trent Oster, one of the BioWare co-founders, puts a rough ballpark on a new Mass Effect: $200M+, all up front. He thinks an experienced team could do it well for less, and says the Save Mass Effect energy makes him want to get some of the original band back together. EA still owns the series.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Link-in Park

God of War Laufey just moved from February 16th to May 20th. Santa Monica didn't give a real reason, just finishing touches. February was already crowded with the Fable reboot, and a lot of us will still be playing GTA 6. Three more months is fine by me.

Sony says Wolverine is past 2.4 million copies after 50 days. Spider-Man 2 did 2.5 million on its first day. And the leaked Insomniac documents said it needed six million in year one, PS5 and PC together. It's still only on PS5.

Arc Raiders' audio director says the actors "would just go crazy" if they had to record all those lines. In the same video, the actor who plays Celeste asks if she can take ownership of the final product, and she answers herself: no.

Xbox built a five foot alligator with a working Series X inside it, and one person is going to win it. They never say GTA 6. They just say Xbox is heading to Florida. The fine print says best as display only, and I still want it.

The Ocarina of Time remake almost had warp points. Aonuma asked for them, they played it, and he had them taken back out. He also calls the Water Temple his overdue homework, so that got changed too.

Ubisoft is reportedly trying to buy Arkane, the Dishonored studio. At least three companies have put in a bid, and Microsoft hasn't said yes to anyone yet. If the other option is they shut down, I'll take Ubisoft.

A Prince of Persia fan just offered Ubisoft more than five million euros of their own money to finish the Sands of Time remake, and they say they don't want profits or any rights. I don't know who this person is, I can't tell you if the money's real, and Ubisoft hasn't said e it anyway.

The boss of id Software says they're doing great, and in the same breath says about half the studio left. Chris Hays, a longtime programmer who kept his job, said making a triple-A game with half the people is hard, and by hard he means impossible. I want more Doom, but I believe the programmer.

Aaron Garbut from Rockstar North told Edge he walked into a house in GTA 6, found pictures of the family pet, then the actual dog in the next room. The whole place was trashed. And the map is nearly as big as GTA 4, GTA 5 and Red Dead 2 put together. I know what I'm looking for on November 19th.

Nagoshi Studio was officially dissolved on October 31st, it's in Japan's government gazette. That's the studio from the guy who created Yakuza, and it was making Gang of Dragon with Ma Dong-seok. NetEase confirmed in March it was cutting the funding from May. I haven't seen to the game now.

Patch notes stop being useful the second they say a weapon, skill, or enemy was “adjusted” and leave the rest to interpretation.

Tell players what changed in the run they already understand.

If a common build now loses a breakpoint, say that. If an encounter now gives a bigger . If you slowed an easy farming loop because it was crowding out other choices, say that too.

Players do not need every balance decision to go their way. They do need patch notes that explain the player-facing consequence and the reason behind it.

Otherwise the community ends up writing the real notes for you a few hours later.

Loading-screen tips telling you to dodge hit different once you are deep into a game.

By that point you are not being taught. You are being gently reminded that, yes, getting hit by the giant glowing attack was apparently a choice.

Nothing like spending hours learning timings, nic rolls, and the exact range of your own bad decisions, then seeing:

"Avoid enemy attacks."

Thanks, ancient wisdom tablet. Next screen maybe tell me that winning is faster if I reduce the boss's health to zero.

Avatar Legends’ October 30 patch says something useful about fighting games: teaching matters.

Yes, the headline additions are reimagined Aang and Korra, plus Ranked Mode 2.0. The part I keep looking at is the learning stack around that: expanded tutorials, Combo Trials, and Xbox Series X|S.

That is a better priority than tossing players at the ladder and calling the beatings “depth.” Let people learn inputs, routes, and pacing in lower-pressure modes first, then ask them to compete.

No claim here that matchmaking or balance is fixed. Just that this update shows a healthier order of operations.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla getting New Game+ after Ubisoft said no in 2022 is the kind of reversal worth acknowledging.

Not because every late addition is automatically heroic. Because this one is a very specific player ask that was denied, then reconsidered years later.
pdate says New Game+ is planned for November 5, with much progression carrying over and dedicated scaling for the mode. Full patch notes are still still to come.

That does not erase the wait. It does show the answer changed. In this business, that counts.

Bungie gave a timeline for bringing back the content it removed from Destiny 2: the Red War, Forsaken, Curse of Osiris and Warmind campaigns, their strikes and raids, plus the Menagerie. Pre-production until January or February, then about twelve months of work. Early 2028. And Bungie's future more than Marathon becoming sustainable.
