Rockstar Games unveils its official GTA Online RP server, mere months before GTA 6

More than three years ago, Rockstar bought out the modding team and the tech powering FiveM, a GTA Online RP platform the studio had once tried to bury. Today, the studio revealed the fruits of that partnership: Rockstar’s official roleplaying server, nopixel 5. “Rockstar is finally throwing its weight behind nopixel, a group that has

The Witcher 3 Remastered should run just fine on the Steam Deck, say devs

As is the case with a lot of older games (I regret to inform you that The Witcher 3 is 11 years old) that get the remaster treatment, there’s been some anxiety over whether The Witcher 3 Remastered will run properly on the Steam Deck—especially given it’ll be a free update. It’s always frustrating when

Persona 4 Revival won’t finally realize Yosuke’s gay romance because Atlus thinks it’d have to let you kiss every other guy, too

With Persona 4 Revival giving my favourite game a modern-day makeover, I was hoping Atlus would use it as an opportunity to reintroduce features that didn’t make the cut the first time around. You know, like a certain romance between protagonist Yu Narukami and his bestie Yosuke Hanamura. Both English and Japanese voiced dialogue was

Nekome: Nazi Hunter is about gleefully butchering fascists in Germany and America, but its devs swear it’s not political

A thing that often happens in this line of work is: a developer or PR person enthusiastically trying to convince you that a not-especially-interesting game is actually incredibly innovative and exciting. The Gamescom demo for Nekome: Nazi Hunter is the first time I have been in the reverse position: I thought the game was interesting,

Orbitals review

This habit is, first and foremost, a nice little character touch. We first meet this pair as wide-eyed tots, in a sumptuous hand-animated cinematic. Jumping forward 15 years on, not much seems to have changed. They’re still running around their starship home, taunting one another as they race: “You’re the slowest slowpoke ever!” This is

Fable’s story will be ’15-20 hours’ long, according to its game director, although the game’s life systems are ‘limitless’

Throughout all of Fable’s showcases and demonstrations this year, one aspect of it has proved difficult to figure out—how big it’s going to be. The original Fable games were decently-sized, but not massive, and monster roleplaying games like Elden Ring and Baldur’s Gate 3 have dramatically shifted expectations on what an RPG’s scope should be.
