The person behind a viral AI-generated Fallout: New York game has pulled it offline after receiving a cease and desist from Bethesda. Earlier this week, a self-styled “AI creative” known as “CHRIS FIRST” on X / Twitter published a video of Fallout: New York, a game built by Claude Opus 5.5 and made playable in a browser. It included quests, companions, dialogue trees, Fallout’s iconic V.A.T.S. combat and even a working Pip-Boy. Fallout: New York, a full Fallout game you play in your browser, built with Claude Opus 5.5. Quests. Dialogue trees. V.A.T.S. A working Pip-Boy. Zero texture files. Zero sound files. Every building, weapon, face and sound is generated by code. pic.twitter.com/58Vls0mOYx — CHRIS FIRST (@chrisfirst) September 28, 2026 The initial video, viewed 3.5 million times on X / Twitter, sparked a debate about the rights and wrongs of CHRIS FIRST’s use of AI, with some calling the game AI slop, and others impressed by the gameplay. As you’d expect, many responded to th...

Doom: The Dark Ages developer id Software has announced a new free update coming to the first-person shooter's Revelations DLC next month: an endless single-player "Slaughter Mode." As announced on today's Slayers Club Live livestream with Doom: The Dark Ages game director Hugo Martin, Slaughter Mode will be "an endless single player mode where players fight through escalating demon waves across multiple arenas, earning cosmetics and their personal best in round/score." Though id didn't give a specific launch date for the Slaughter Mode update, we can probably rule out November 19! And if you haven't played the stellar The Dark Ages yet, or its excellent expansion , Revelations, now's the time! Fortunately, id Software carries on after layoffs hit the studio earlier this year, which prompted id co-founders John Romero and John Carmack to each separately comment on the staff reductions, which in turn prompted a response from both the studio ...

GTA 6 will have sex scenes, according to a new listing from international ratings boards. In New Zealand and Australia, GTA 6's store page on PlayStation was updated to include the game's official age rating. A similar thing happened this morning with the UK and American versions of the game , but the New Zealand and Australia versions offer one distinct difference: the mention of sex scenes. Yes, it's true: there will be intercourse in GTA 6. If you're asking yourself, "Is that different from GTA 5?" Yes, it appears to be. GTA 5's rating makes no mention of sex scenes, despite there being at least one. Midway through the game, Trevor can be seen getting freaky with Johnny Klebitz's girlfriend (granted, it's pretty brief). GTA 6's sex scenes may be much more detailed and graphic, especially since the story revolves around the romantic relationship between Jason and Lucia. Various trailers have shown sensual, intimate scenes between the two ch...

The co-founder, co-chairman, and chief product officer of Riot Games, Marc Merrill, revealed the number of monthly active users 2XKO would have needed to justify its budget, and the eye-popping amount has sparked an animated debate within the fighting game community. Speaking on The Lemonade Stand , Merrill went into detail about what happened behind the scenes at Riot to cause 2XKO’s catastrophic failure, and provided a ballpark figure of monthly active users the game would have needed in order to justify how much money and time was spent on its development. It’s no surprise that this figure was, to put it lightly, pretty unrealistic for a fighting game; Merrill said that, considering its cost structure, 2XKO would have needed a player count “in the high hundreds of thousands, if not millions” to rationalize its continued support. Merrill also mentioned Street Fighter 6, saying the 2023 release of Capcom’s juggernaut title threw off their plans to take a big chunk of the fighting gam...
