GTA 6 May Be Borrowing a Major Mechanic from Red Dead Redemption 2

Image
Grand Theft Auto 6 could be taking a major mechanic from Red Dead Redemption 2, which might bother some GTA fans. Today, Rockstar Games revealed the Ultimate Edition for GTA 6, which includes a bunch of goodies, some of which have been creating controversy . One of these perks is free access to a garage, which will boast a weapons locker where you can "customize your loadout for any occasion." This makes it sound like players may have to be more intentional with the weapons they take with them. In Red Dead Redemption 2, you can only have two large weapons (rifles, shotguns, etc.) and two handguns. If there isn't a physical way for your character to hold the weapon, it stays on your horse. It's more realistic and forces the player to be more conscious of their loadout, something that has been divisive with players over the years. This is also radically different from the way GTA handles it, as GTA 5 allows you to carry dozens of weapons in your pocket. However, fans h...

Image
Marathon has set a release date for its upcoming PvE mode, Vault Breaker, as well as the start of Season 3. Marathon will release its new "experimental" PvE mode on July 21st as part of the next mid-season update. This new mode will allow players to venture into Cryo Archive, the map used for the game's endgame raid-like content, to take on a series of challenging vaults. You'll be able to do this on your own or with allies, with a unique progression system that lets you grow more powerful ahead of the final vault. Bungie also revealed that Vault Breaker will have some specific requirements to participate. "Vault Breaker requires a special Sponsored Kit to queue up, and any gear or items you find stay behind when you exfil," says Bungie . "The exception to this is Vault Data. This new currency is found within vaults, and when extracted, can be exchanged for upgrades to your Vault Breaker Sponsored Kits as well as gear that can be used in other modes. T...

Lorcana Attack of the Vine! TCG Showcases Iconic Disney Team Ups – Exclusive

Image
The newest Disney Lorcana expansion set, Attack of the Vine!, is set to have an early release on July 17 at local games stores with a wide release on July 24th. With that said, we’re exclusively revealing six new cards showcasing the set’s new team up theme, Woody & Buzzlightyear, Pocahontas & Meeko, Darkwing Duck & Launchpad, Sulley & Boo, Peter Pan & Tinker Bell, and of course the famous Disney duo themselves, Mickey & Minnie Mouse. Disney Lorcana continues to feature Pixar characters from their introduction last set, but we’re also seeing familiar faces with these new powerful Team cards. Alongside some high ink costs, these team cards are also dual ink which means they can only be added to certain decks. On top of this limitation, the cards can shift from specific characters and there’s only so many characters in certain ink colors. Considering all these factors, these Team cards have to be very strong to warrant using. For instance, the Woody & Buzz Lig...

The Last of Us Part 2 Multiplayer Lives On as PvP Mod Due Out Later This Year

Image
Naughty Dog may have canceled its The Last of Us Part 2 multiplayer project , but Factions fans can now at least have a new PvP mode to look forward to… if they're on PC. Modder Speclizer uploaded 25 minutes of early gameplay for a mod they're working on that will let players go head-to-head as Abby, Ellie, and potentially other characters from the PlayStation video game series. The video kicks off with the news that, after starting development in January 2026, it's expected to launch this September. It's admittedly a bit rough around the edges in its current state but, so far, this The Last of Us Part 2 multiplayer mod seems to feature a relatively fleshed-out PvP mode. The earliest moments of the gameplay video are the most telling, highlighting a matchmaking system, maps, and loadout selections. Is it exactly what Naughty Dog may have had planned for The Last of Us Online? Probably not, and it's only coming to PC for now, but it might just help fill the hole in ...

Marvel's Wolverine Actor Confirms Role in GTA 6

A handful of actors have started confirming they have roles in Grand Theft Auto , including one of the stars of Marvel's Wolverine. Actor Brett Gipson, who plays Sabretooth in Marvel's Wolverine, has added GTA 6 to his resume . The resume notes that he will be playing a character named Ellis, but no other details have been confirmed. It's unclear how big his role will be but, for what it's worth, there's no indication that we've even seen Ellis in any of the trailers or screenshots thus far. Although the focus has been primarily on the game's two protagonists, Jason and Lucia, Rockstar has shone a light on a few supporting characters, including Jason's friend, Cal Hampton, and his boss, Brian Heder. Gipson isn't the only actor to reveal their in GTA 6. Actors like Katie Burke, Ignacio Navarro, and Massi Furlan have all disclosed that they're in the highly anticipated game. Some of these appear to be background characters like random NPCs, while o...
