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...

Ordering food through DoorDash is probably one of the biggest examples of how modern life has grown incredibly convenient, but apparently, there are still some people who think scrolling through an app is too much work. Now, you'll be able to just text DoorDash and have it order food for you without needing to figure out what, exactly, you feel like eating. DoorDash announced the feature earlier this week, and the idea is that you'll text an AI agent through iMessages – apparently Android support will come sometime in the future – an idea of what you want for dinner. Then, DoorDash's AI agent will browse through all the restaurants in your area and give you suggestions based on your past orders and what you included in your text. One of the examples DoorDash includes is asking its bot for your usual Friday night order, and it'll remember what you usually get, along with any modifications you usually make. This is already pretty easy to do within the app, which usually ...

David Jaffe, the creator, co-writer, and director for the original God of War game, has cleared up his viral comments about Ariel Lawrence, creative director for Laufey. Ariel Lawrence has been with the God of War franchise since its very first game — but creator David Jaffe, who left the series behind in 2007 to form his own studio, says he never got along with her during his time at Santa Monica Studio. He described their contentious work relationship in a September 2026 live stream while reacting to footage for God of War Laufey , where he claimed their personalities clashed and that he didn’t feel as though she was truly passionate about the games they were making. “I have no problem with female directors at all,” he began. “This woman started as an assistant producer back when we were making the first God of War. Her and I never got along. She thought I was kind of obnoxious and I thought she was pretentious. She didn’t put the audience first. “People that I didn’t get along with...

007 First Light is getting new, free DLC later this week. IO Interactive has teased the new DLC via a short video on its socials, confirming it will arrive on Thursday, October 2. The DLC will be free, but as of right now, IO is remaining tight-lipped about what it will include. However, based on some prior info, we can likely assume that this is the long-awaited Aston Martin Valhalla update. This content has been teased since launch in the game's main menu, and it appears it's finally being added to the game. This is expected to include a new TacSim mission featuring the Aston Martin Valhalla, which is used near the end of the game as part of a massive set piece. Given the extensive wait, it seems hard to imagine this will be just a short, single TacSim mission. This may add some other items that were revealed as part of a larger roadmap for the game , such as new game+, new gadgets, and other missions and content. A free DLC is just around the bend. Tune in on October 1st. #...
