    Dan Houser still hasn't seen GTA 6: 'I will try and avoid it'

    Rockstar Games co-founder and former GTA writer Dan Houser says he still hasn't watched Grand Theft Auto 6's extended reveal and will try to avoid it so it doesn't disrupt him creatively. He said he doesn't play many open-world games because he deconstructs teams' strengths and weaknesses in real time. Houser left Rockstar in 2020 to found Absurd Ventures, which is working on two open-world games, one a comedy action-adventure and the other "definitely less of a comedy".

    Gears of War: E-Day devs on their gore investment, saying fans were getting desensitised to the violence

    Eurogamer interviewed The Coalition art director Aryan Hanbeck, brand director Nicole Fawcett, and creative director Matt Searcy about Gears of War: E-Day's investment in gore. Hanbeck said the team felt fans were getting desensitised to the series' violence, so they aimed to make every kill feel more real, down to headshot audio, blood spray height, lingering mist, and body reactions. Searcy said gore was a huge investment and that each encounter was designed like a coiled spring. E-Day's first Season began with Early Access yesterday and runs eight weeks to 1st December, ranked PvP arrives 13th October, and general release is 6th October.

    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. The effect can be turned off in the locker or set to always show the beat-up look. Previous damage-reactive skins like Isaac Clarke, Synth, and Spider-Punk only had temporary effects, and the Botch backbling's wounds heal when you heal.

    End of Abyss Review: A Samus-Inspired Survival Horror Success

    End of Abyss is a twin-stick survival horror game that blends Metroid-style exploration with tense combat, casting players as a technician entering an abandoned facility with soldiers and their captain. The review praises its winding map, scanner, and large-scale level design, but notes that boss fights drain ammo and grenades quickly, forcing resource grinding. The author also hit bugs including getting stuck in walls, invisible walls, falling out of bounds, map markers showing wrong states, and doors that would not open until a reload, though frequent saves limited the lost progress and several patches have already addressed some issues.

    After 30 years they finally let Ace Combat's director fly in a real jet, and I'm taking credit

    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.

    Final Fantasy Resonance's combat was an 'experiment' combining FF5's job system with FF6's unique characters

    Final Fantasy Resonance's producer told Kotaku the battle system began with the idea of combining Final Fantasy 5's job system with the unique traits of Final Fantasy 6's characters, and that the team reexamined the stagger system. The game adapts the mobile title Brave Exvius, is co-developed by Square Enix's Team Asano in the HD-2D style, and launches on October 22. The team at one point considered cutting the series characters before keeping them as the equippable Visions summon system, spanning characters from the first game through Final Fantasy XVI.
