    Amid Uncharted 5 Rumors, Nathan Drake Actor Says He Would Come Back, But With One Catch

    Nolan North, the voice of Nathan Drake, said he would "110%" return for a new Uncharted game, but only if Naughty Dog doesn't tarnish the franchise's legacy. He said he has not heard anything about a new Uncharted game, though he believes it would be a smart business decision for Sony. According to multiple sources, a fifth mainline Uncharted is set to be Naughty Dog's next project after Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, which is reportedly due in 2027.

    How Is a Game Like GTA 6 Actually Made? Here's How Rockstar Gets It Done

    Rockstar North boss Rob Nelson said in an interview with Love magazine that GTA 6 was built through a series of eight-week milestones, where select pieces of the game are compiled together, evaluated, adjusted based on feedback, and then followed by the next milestone. The process begins by creating assets and systems and then roughing in content across all areas of development. Writing director James Horton said there are no shortcuts when it comes to building a world like this.

    Rockstar executives explain how GTA 6 is actually made

    Rockstar North head of development and co-studio head Rob Nelson told Love magazine that the team builds the game through a series of eight-week milestones, pulling agreed-upon sections together, evaluating them, and using notes to set the next milestone's focus year after year. Open-world writing director James Horton said Rockstar set up a Los Angeles team solely to write pedestrian dialogue, working with a local production team on the game's thousands of unique NPCs. Grand Theft Auto 6 has been in development in some form since 2014, and players will get to try it next month.

    GTA 6 writer says the series has never had "much focus on national politics" beyond GTA 4's war on terror, and the latest entry won't get "too specific"

    Rockstar senior vice president of narrative Rupert Humphries said the GTA series has never had "much focus on national politics" beyond GTA 4's Homeland Security and Patriot Act themes, and that GTA 6 won't get "too specific" about any particular person, event, or movement. He said the studio's satire of Florida aims to be "larger than life" rather than a direct mirror of the real world, and described the American dream today as perhaps just a house and paid-off loans. Rockstar is also currently in an employment tribunal over its firing of 34 developers last year.

    Rockstar Traveled Across Florida With Gang Members and Cops for GTA 6 Research

    Rockstar Games told Love Magazine that its team took research trips across Florida for GTA 6, driving from Miami through surrounding towns and the Florida Keys to Key West. Head of development Aaron Garbut said the team traveled with locals, cops and gang members to experience Miami's extremes, and that those details will find their way into the game. GTA 6's satire focuses on modern culture and conspiracy theories rather than recreating real-world viral moments.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance studio co-founder says a lot of RPGs are 'still games for teenagers,' and that he's 'tired of all the RPGs where you are this chosen one'

    Warhorse Studios co-founder Martin Klima told PC Gamer he is tired of RPGs built around being "this chosen one" with a grand task of saving the universe, calling such straightforward power fantasies repetitive. He said many RPGs being made are "still the games for teenagers," and that this boredom with the formula led to Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Klima also criticized publishers for recycling the same formula, citing the original Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Watch Dogs as fun first iterations that grow stale by the 10th time.

    There Are 2,800 Fortnite Skins, But Only The FNAF Skins Have This Special Feature

    The Five Nights at Freddy's skins in Fortnite--Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy--have a new reactive effect: taking damage makes pieces fall off the character model permanently until you die or the match ends, even if you heal.

    Bandai Namco revealed in a promotional video released alongside Ace Combat 8 that Ace Combat brand director Kazutoki Kono finally got to ride in a real jet. Back in June he said that over 30 years of his career he had been asking to ride in one of these jets, but neither he nor anyone on the team had gotten the chance. Kono said that once airborne it became one of the most beautiful experiences, with the G-force during turns noticeable but the force pushing him down into the seat standing out most.
