Rock Paper ShotgunSaturdays are for actually remembering that it's a Bank Holiday weekend, rather than forgetting and coming in on Monday and getting viciously annoyed with Julian and Mark for seeming to ignore your Gchat messages. (They do that anyway, regardless of whether it's a day off.) Read more
EurogamerHello and welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little about the games we've been playing. This week, Kelsey didn't have to sacrifice a limb to play Elden Ring for the first time again; Bertie mucks around in the Prancing Pony with edgy Aragorn; and the rest of the team travels back from Germany. More to come from them next week! Read more
PC GamerThe controversial generative AI tech can look alright when used subtly, but the 'AI look' seems to be inescapable.
GameSpotGrand Theft Auto 6 has finally had its first big gameplay reveal, giving us our first real look at Rockstar's massive open-world and the amount of detail it holds. It's one that might be the most visually-impressive game we've ever seen, according to the experts at Digital Foundry. Digital Foundry's Oliver Mackenzie and Richard Leadbetter have praised GTA 6's visual presentation, with Mackenzie specifically going as far to call it the "most impressive example of real-time game rendering" he's ev
GameSpotThe annual Gamescom event is meant to showcase some of the best upcoming video games, but at least two apparent thefts have thrown a damper on this year's festivities. Indie developer Ryan Laley reported that his equipment was stolen from his Gamescom booth, which he said was "a huge blow financially and mentally." Fortunately, Laley has received an outpouring of support from the industry, including The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red. On X, CD Projekt Red responded to Lale

GameSpotNvidia hasn't yet announced a release date for DLSS 5, which it revealed to widespread backlash earlier this year. But a recent leak has provided PC modders the ability to inject the neural rendering in almost any game, which is being used to showcase just how awful its AI-powered face filters can get. Accidentally included in a build of NBA 2K27 (via VideoCardz), an early version of DLSS 5 was accessed and made useable by the RenoDX modding community, who quickly developed a crude toolset allow

GameSpotMicrosoft's new Fable game was supposed to launch this year, but it was delayed to February 2027. The game's director, Ralph Fulton, said in an interview that he feels "great" about the launch timing for Fable, adding that shifting to 2027 helps the game avoid the "chaotic window" of its original timeframe of late 2026. Speaking to IGN, Fulton said the reason for the delay "is pretty apparent to everybody." He said he was "really looking forward to" launching Fable in 2026, saying he wasn't happ
GameSpotGTA 6 takes place in Vice City, which is a stand-in for Miami, and it appears the game will feature a Miami apartment building from a popular TV show. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Dexter Morgan's apartment in Miami from the TV show Dexter appears to be in GTA 6. The TV show is set in Miami and the exterior shots were filmed at the Bay Harbor Club condos in Miami. You can see comparison images below. https://twitter.com/DrakoAfoa/status/2093121257457815587 Others have pointed out that by the time

GameSpotAlien Isolation 2 stars a new protagonist named Blake. Creative Assembly has been clear about this all summer, but it's only now that I'm letting it sink in. Since I first played a demo of the survival-horror game at Summer Game Fest's Play Days this past June, I've been holding onto a theory that Blake's role in the story is a bait-and-switch--that in short order Blake would be impaled by the Xenomorph and Amanda Ripley, star of the first game, would show up as the real playable character. But
GameSpotThe XCOM series has been effectively on hiatus for many years now, and AAA turn-based-tactics games have been pretty hard to come by recently. That's changing, however, starting with this week's launch of Star Wars Zero Company. It's effectively a marriage of classic XCOM gameplay and Clone Wars-era Star Wars storytelling, and within a few minutes of starting it, I got that same rush of excitement I got the first time I played an XCOM game. Typically, I try to savor turn-based tactical experienc
Rock Paper ShotgunI am TONY STARK... and my brassy crimson pantaloons may have sprung a few leaks. A work-in-progress trailer for Marvel's Iron Man, an air-capable action game in development at EA Motive, has appeared online. You can find it on Resetera, though I imagine the video will be taken down soon. The timestamp "Aug26" indicates that it's a recent creation. The video itself uses unfinished assets, but the direction and editing suggest that it could be an early version of an official trailer. Or it could b
GameSpotYou might expect people to talk about the visuals, lighting, action sequences, or gunplay after Grand Theft Auto VI's brand-new extended-look trailer showed off over 25 minutes of new footage. But the top comments on Rockstar's YouTube upload of the video deal more with the human condition than expected. In fact, there's quite a bit of talk about death and remembrance. The top comment (at the time of publication) states: "a moment of silence for people that didn't make it here." Meanwhile, anoth

GameSpotA very important piece of news has come to light about GTA 6: You can pick up dog poop and throw it at people in the upcoming open-world crime game. YouTuber TGG visited Rockstar North's offices and spoke with the team, and one of the things he learned was how dog poop can be a weapon. "If someone is out on the street and they're walking their dog, and the dog takes a dump, you can wait for the person to pick up the dog sh** with a doggie bag, and then you can hit that person, making them drop t
