    Bloomberg report: GTA 6 was once planned to be bigger and could have shipped years sooner

    A Bloomberg report says that when a small Rockstar team went to Miami in 2015 to plan GTA 6, the game was envisioned to span large swaths of North and South America under the codename Project Americas, before the scope was pared down to Miami and its surroundings. The report also says Rockstar originally planned to develop GTA 6 alongside Red Dead Redemption II to bring it to market sooner, but as that game grew it needed more staff to ship in 2018, delaying GTA 6 by several years. Rockstar denied the rumor that GTA 6 cost $1.5 billion to develop but gave no specifics on the actual cost.

    Six Biggest Takeaways From Hands-On With the Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake

    GameSpot's Steve Watts lists six main changes from his hands-on time with the Switch 2 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He says the new art style won him over quickly in motion, with characters keeping their exaggerated doll-like look and more detailed clothing textures, while Kokiri Forest and the dungeons have been visibly reworked. The version also adds full voice acting, which puts pressure on the performers to carry the original's characters.

    Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake adds a jump button, and hands-on play suggests it works

    The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake adds a dedicated jump button, and the author's hands-on time suggests the change is a good one. The demo covered Kokiri Forest, the Deku Tree, Hyrule Field, Hyrule Castle Town, and part of the Forest Temple with adult Link, where jumping was mostly used for small gaps and climbing vines. The author says the button felt natural and that modern games feel lacking without one.

    Hyrule Field Still Feels Empty in the Ocarina of Time Remake

    In the Ocarina of Time remake, Hyrule Field appears roughly the same size as the original and remains largely empty, aside from the spokes leading out from the hub and Lon Lon Ranch at its center. A few more irregular hills and rock formations add texture, and the default run speed is a little faster. The author says this fits the remake's goal of faithfully recreating the original.

    Rockstar devs say GTA 6 was delayed partly because the number of NPCs was 'horrifying' and needed a dedicated studio

    Rockstar co-head of development Rob Nelson told Bloomberg that one reason for GTA 6's delay was the 'horrifying' number of NPCs needed to populate Leonida, which led the company to set up an entire studio in LA to handle the workload. Fellow co-head Phil Hooker said the team shifted the date once it became clear some areas wouldn't make it, since hitting the schedule would mean shipping a game they didn't want to make. GTA 6 was originally slated for May and delayed to November.

    Arc Raiders' PvE test is live, and the author calls it a good reason to jump back in

    Arc Raiders' PvE test is now live, after Embark teased a temporary PvE toggle because a large part of its audience favoured a more passive approach. In the author's hands-on, Pendola Pass felt freer to explore and fight arcs without fearing other players, and nearby raiders helped when things went wrong. The author plans to play almost exclusively this mode while it lasts.

    GTA 6 leaker Cyberleek posts video allegedly showing ending scenes, says leaks may be over

    Cyberleek, the leaker who has spent weeks posting Grand Theft Auto 6 footage, released a video supposedly showing parts of the game's ending and indicated the leaks may be done. Eurogamer found the footage less dramatic than initially suggested, appearing not to be the ending sequence, though its location could be a spoiler. Cyberleek said the 200GB build would not be released because the coin's $30m market cap target was not reached; the memecoin has fallen to $1.2m three days after peaking at $7.8m. GTA 6's official launch is 19th November.
