GTA 6 Leaker Releases More Gameplay Videos Despite Rockstar Owner Take-Two's Microsoft and Discord Subpoenas

Image
The alleged GTA 6 leaker has released two further gameplay videos despite Rockstar owner Take-Two's subpoenas requesting identifying information from Microsoft and Discord. The ‘CyberLeek’ person or group released two new videos today, August 22, one showing more supercar gameplay and an armed robbery, the other strip club gameplay. The latter appears to taunt Take-Two and Rockstar by showing a snippet of a cutscene in which a character says they need to take "a leak." This is the second cutscene to emerge this week, and there is growing concern that the leaker has access to a build of the game and may post significant story spoilers. These new videos are the seventh and eighth to leak this week. And, like all the others , they advertise the ‘CyberLeek’ memecoin as part of what is widely considered to be a crypto scheme . On August 20, Take-Two issued Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) subpoenas in a federal court requesting information from both Microsoft and Disco...

The Sinking City 2 Review

Image
It was impossible for me to play The Sinking City 2 for more than 15 minutes without coming to the obvious realization that this is Resident Evil in a fedora. That might sound dismissive, but I really enjoy the recent Resident Evil games, so comparing Frogwares' Lovecraftian survival horror sequel to some of the best of them – which feels especially similar to 2019's Resident Evil 2 remake – is much more of a compliment than a put-down. What sets it apart begins with its unique, rich, 1920s New England setting flush with loving detail that instills a strong sense of personality over the top of the mechanics it so clearly imitates. You play as Calvin Rafferty, a likeable occultist waking up to an apocalyptic flood set to wipe out the entire city of Arkham, Massachusetts in 1929. He's definitely a little bit of a pulp fiction stock character: hard-chinned, two-fisted, and foolishly brave. But there are layers to him that rise to the surface here and there. Similar to the Res...

'Hoping for a Huge October Surprise, But Not Holding My Breath' — Arc Raiders Players Torn After Embark Delays Future Expeditions Until Early 2027

Image
Embark Studios has announced that all future Arc Raiders Expeditions have been delayed until early 2027 as it aims to "return with major improvements" following community feedback. The developer behind the early 2026 extraction shooter hit announced the change in its post-launch schedule in an update on the Arc Raiders website today. It came with confirmation that Expedition 5 will launch when the window opens September 8 and close September 29, but after that, the Rust Belt will be quieter than normal. "We have been carefully reviewing your feedback on Expeditions," Embark's post said, "and while we've made ongoing improvements along the way, we've come to realize that some of the issues you've raised, like the tight departure windows, the reward structure, and accessibility for new players, need more than incremental fixes. They call for bigger changes." "In order to address those concerns, we need to pause the Expeditions for a w...

Double Fine Owns IP and Publishing Rights for All of Its Games Following Xbox Split, Psychonauts Studio Confirms

Image
Psychonauts and Brutal Legend developer Double Fine Productions has confirmed it has regained the IP and publishing rights for all of its games released under Microsoft following its split from Xbox. CEO Tim Schafer cleared the air about the developer's future in the industry during a conversation with Kinda Funny Games today. Amid questions from fans hoping to support Double Fine as it enters a new chapter, he clarified that buying any of its previous releases will help it continue to flex the wildly creative muscles it's known for. "I saw a question, there, 'Do you guys make the money on games?' The transfer of the IP came back to us, and we get the publishing rights back to all our games," Schafer said. The one caveat to all of this is that it may still say Microsoft owns "some of them," but that will change in time. He went on, explaining, "it just takes a while for it to all process." The headline, though, is that "when people ...

GTA 6 U.S. Army Deal Has Already Convinced at Least 20 Soldiers to Reenlist

Image
At least 20 soldiers have chosen to reenlist after a United States Army base in Fort Stewart, Georgia, began offering time off for the launch of Grand Theft Auto 6 . According to CBS News , 20 soldiers of the 3rd Infantry Division's 9th Brigade Engineering Battalion have chosen to reenlist after being presented with the opportunity for some off-time to play Rockstar Games' latest. A flyer presenting the GTA 6 deal that was signed by commanding officer Lt. Col. Ryan D. Hodgson found its way online earlier this week. "The idea was to have a unique incentives program that connects to what soldiers are interested in," 3rd Infantry Division Lt. Col. Angel Tomko said in a statement. "The command team, in conjunction with the career counselor, wanted to get soldiers excited to reenlist." There are about 130 soldiers eligible to sign up, with the offer specifying that they must commit to a reenlistment period for at least two years to as long as six years. Dedicati...
