    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Review: A New Belmont Takes Up the Family Business

    Castlevania: Belmont's Curse launches October 15 on Xbox Series X|S and PC with Xbox Play Anywhere, developed by KONAMI with Dead Cells studios Evil Empire and Motion Twin. In hands-on play, the writer calls it a return to form, with protagonist Rose Belmont wielding 7 weapon types and a whip that doubles as a grappling hook. Defeated bosses are sealed into tarot cards as Arcana, and their spells are upgraded through the Works of Mercy achievement system.

    Why this: The writer draws on hands-on play to break down the weapon, parry, and tarot systems, comparing the game with Dead Cells and Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown.

    Review: Tales of Eternia Remastered (PS5) - Classic PlayStation RPG Shows Its Age

    Bandai Namco has remastered Tales of Eternia for PS5, 26 years after the original, with a rewritten localisation and new English voice acting. Combat remains a 2D real-time action system restricted to a single plane, which can make crowded battles hard to read. The remaster adds accessibility options such as EXP and Gald multipliers, encounter rate settings, and objective markers, without locking players out of Trophies.

    Grand Theft Auto IV – The Legacy Review

    IGN is revisiting each core Grand Theft Auto game ahead of Grand Theft Auto 6, and this entry looks back at Grand Theft Auto IV. The piece notes that GTA IV's land area is reportedly around one-quarter the size of San Andreas's and that it has far fewer vehicles and no car customisation, yet Liberty City's density and detail still hold up today.

    GTA 6 Leaker Cyberleek Says They Won't Release Full Game: 'The Leeks Stop For Now'

    Notorious GTA 6 leaker Cyberleek has taken down their website sharing gameplay clips and says they won't publicly release a full build of the game or post more leaks.

    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.

The preview covered roughly the first 90 minutes of the adventure and the Forest Temple, the first dungeon as Adult Link, running at 60 fps on Nintendo Switch 2. The piece also describes a theatrical style, with loading screens between areas framed as set changes.

    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.

    Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake trailer reveals Hall of Fallen Foes, launches on Switch 2 November 5

    Nintendo's new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake mostly shows prettier versions of the Nintendo 64 game's locales and boss fights, while revealing a new addition called the Hall of Fallen Foes. The museum-like space displays statues of defeated enemies with descriptions and locations, and lets players refight the game's bosses while tracking their best times. The remake launches on Switch 2 on November 5 as the series' 40th anniversary tentpole, with a live-action film starring Benjamin Evan Ainsworth and Bo Bragason due next year and no full trailer yet.
