    4chan leak claims GTA VI has four endings and relationship mechanics

    A Reddit user compiled a 4chan leak claiming GTA VI has four endings determined by romantic or platonic and chaotic or organized parameters, with the good ending where the pair ride off with their son treated as canon. The leak also mentions the Criminal Profile system, date and racing side content, cheating locking players into platonic endings, and a main story that is finished with side quests around 75-80% done. The poster says the leak dates to December 2023 and gained credibility for naming the Criminal Profile system three years before its official reveal, but it remains unconfirmed.

    8 Things Final Fantasy VII Revelation Is Changing From The Original On PS1

    Kotaku rounds up eight changes Final Fantasy VII Revelation makes from the 1997 PS1 original. The game will offer a true open world, though weather events and closed airspaces gate some areas, and Vincent and Yuffie's stories are folded into the main narrative with Vincent's Galian Beast transformation becoming part of his regular combat kit. Director Naoki Hamaguchi said Master materia will not appear because it would break the game, while Knights of the Round may become the game's superboss with its own storyline similar to the Gilgamesh questline in Rebirth.

    Grand Theft Auto 6 may be the first GTA to have full-on "sex scenes", Hot Coffee not included

    An age-rating description for GTA 6 on the PlayStation Store in New Zealand and Australia mentions "sex scenes", which if accurate would make it the first Grand Theft Auto game to directly depict sexual intercourse. The descriptions, spotted by IGN, are not separately searchable on the relevant ratings boards' websites, and the UK PS Store listing mentions "sexual content" with a PEGI "sex" symbol. Grand Theft Auto 6 releases 19th November.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance Dev Hopes GTA 6 Will Encourage Studios to Charge More for Their Games

    Warhorse co-founder Martin Klima said he hopes GTA 6 will "blaze the trail" for higher game prices, arguing triple-A games face an existential problem as audience sizes plateau and retail dies. He claimed Rockstar and Take-Two are the only companies that can afford or dare to raise prices, which he called long overdue and necessary for the business to survive. Klima also admitted GTA 6 "doesn't appeal to me at all," while the game's Standard Edition is priced $79.99 in the U.S. and £69.99 in the U.K., ahead of its November 19 release on PS5 and Xbox Series.

Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson called Trailer 1 a "mission statement" for the team, and GTA 6 launches November 19 with an ESRB M rating issued this morning.

    Rockstar Says GTA 6 Doesn't Compromise Scale for Detail

    Rockstar boss Aaron Garbut said in an interview that developers often trade scale for detail or detail for interaction, but not with GTA 6, where detail, scope, breadth, scale, interaction, and density are all dialed up. He said Rockstar has never created anything close to this before and that the team dealt with the pressure by trying to overdeliver. GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, is set in the Florida stand-in Leonida, and does not feature Walt Disney World.

    Amid Xbox layoffs, Gears of War: E-Day studio The Coalition fears cuts right after launch and before Metacritic bonuses

    Eurogamer spoke to multiple anonymous staff at Gears of War: E-Day developer The Coalition who fear being laid off shortly after the game's release and missing out on Metacritic-linked bonuses.

    In a Game Informer cover story on GTA 6, Rockstar suggested its fictionalized Florida, Leonida, probably won't include every iconic attraction such as Disney World and SeaWorld. Senior vice president of environment art Paul MacPherson said the studio has to be selective about locations for narrative and game design, though the goal is to capture the full Florida experience. The game will still feature a zoo and over 170 different kinds of animals, including rare and legendary breeds that can be studied.
