According to Tez2, Rockstar will split GTA 6 into two editions: one edition will only include an online mode, and the second will be a complete version with storyline and multiplayer, as was the case with Red Dead Redemption 2. The only difference is that GTA Online will be available at launch, rather than being released later on:

R*/T2 already sell GTAO & RDO separately, but VI will be the first game where online is sold separately at launch, while story mode will be part of the full package that covers both. They will have to factor the online standalone price into the total cost. What portion of the base price will be the online's price? And what would be the story mode upgrade price for those who've bought the online standalone?

T2 could benefit by pricing the online standalone lower, making it accessible for those who can't afford the $70 or $80 price. Eventually, those players will upgrade to access the story mode, so that's a win-win for them. This also opens an opportunity, some players may be eager to access the story mode but can't afford the upgrade price too. That's when they could slide in GTA+, and offer Game Pass-like access. They'll net extra profits from players who keep subscribing instead of saving for the upgrade. Another win-win for T2.

The win for us is if the online standalone is priced as low as it can be and factored into the total cost, the game could be sold at the standard $70 instead of a higher price.

A ResetEra user noticed that there is an unannounced Jurassic World or Jurassic Park game on the LinkedIn profile of John Melchiore, executive, responsible and CEO of Universal Executive and one of the top producers at NBCUniversal Media and this game is seen in the section dedicated to the Jurassic World / Park franchises. In the 'Experience' section you can see that he names all of these games along with a TBA 'To be announced' and it does not seem that it is a new Jurassic World game for smartphones, since it is mentioned in the triple AAA games section along with Jurassic World Evolution 2, Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Jurassic Park: Survival. So it seems that another game apart from Jurassic Park: Survival could be cooking.

Hi all! I figured I would come here and make an update regarding the post I made just a few days ago about the "Mario Kart Bowser's Challenge" models being leaked.

Well, I was correct! Sort of..

The models actually come from the "Epic Universe Preview Center" app. Just on how they were dumped from the app is still up in the air but plenty more was uncovered from the app itself.

So further examination shows that these models are without a doubt the official rigs that Nintendo uses (or at least VERY close to that) I personally think that these models are the same as the ones used on the actual Mario Kart ride. Yoshi, for instance, has shape keys for all eyelid expressions.

Another cool find is there is an EXTREMELY high poly ATV model in the files. It seems to be the exact render model seen in renders from Mario Kart 8.

I can't share the link to the files because of rule 11, I'm sorry :( You're welcome to go look because it is out there.

Originally, PCF announced a while back they were working with Microsoft on an Unreal Engine project using one of their IPs. The studio is best known for creating Bulletstorm, and originally being the lead developers behind Gears of War: Judgement in 2013. Wario64 originally reported on the project via job listings in June 2023. Heres' the original link for that:

While it could be for GT8, that game is supposedly far from release, so could it be an entirely new game from Polyphony?

Alexey Menshikov, the CEO of Beatshapers and Fortell Games, has been accused of failing to pay employees and contractors for over a year. Multiple former employees have reported unpaid wages, lack of communication, and unfulfilled financial commitments.

Despite this, Menshikov appears to have no issue affording luxury items—recently, he was spotted with an Apple Vision Pro, a $3,500 headset. This has sparked outrage among those who are still waiting for their overdue payments.

Beatshapers, known for indie games like Machines of Madness, and Fortell Games, which ran a Kickstarter campaign to revive Blocksworld, have both been under fire for alleged mismanagement and financial disputes. Employees and contractors claim they were promised payment but were ignored or given excuses for months.

If you have any information about this situation, feel free to share. The gaming industry needs accountability for these kinds of business practices.

"Following 185 layoffs and a studio shutdown, Ubisoft has sent an internal memo to staff via its Agoro Newsroom about the recent layoffs, saying that the decision was made due to 'finding more efficient operating models and to ensure our long-term success.'"

Part of the memo reads: "Jeff Combos, Studio Manager of Ubisoft Dusseldorf, informed the studio yesterday about a plan to reduce its headcount by approximately 65 positions. Most of these reductions would affect production roles currently not assigned to active development for a prolonged period of time. The studios in Berlin and Mainz are not affected."

AMD has mentioned that one of the reasons the RDNA 4 is delayed is due to the on-going work it's software to ensure more FSR 4 games are available at launch, but it seems like it have already leaked anyway via unofficial drivers.

But it is unusable anyway to us consumers as its only compatible with RDNA 4 GPUs, so no one aside from retailers who already has the RDNA 4 GPUs hidden behind their warehouse or AMD Radeon can use and test it.

It also supports DLL Upgrade method now like Nvidia does with their DLSS 2.0+ games, FSR 3.1+ games can now be upgraded by user themselves as well, and AMD is rumoured to be developing their own way of doing this via their app.

According to a source familiar with the plans, both games will be released digitally on PC later this week. They’re expected to arrive with all of their original expansion packs included, but it remains unclear if the legacy games will also make it to consoles at some point.

Ubisoft has just closed a unit in England and laid off 50 of its employees. In addition, other units of the company, in cities such as Düsselford, Stockholm and Newcastle, will have their workforces reduced. In total, 185 employees will be laid off. This adds more fuel to the rumors of a possible merger (or sale) of Ubisoft with Chinese company Tencent.

According to their official AIB Retailer, the Radeon RX 9070 XT's pricing were originally meant to be $900 and for 9070 non XT is $750 and they were meant to launch at January 23rd 2025 but AMD Radeon delayed it due to unexpected aggressive cheaper pricing of Nvidia RTX 50 series line up that made AMD RTG's original pricing strategy obsolete, therefore they had to delay the launch of RDNA 4.

If these were really what is going on behind the scenes with AMD Radeon RDNA 4 launch, then no wonder why it got delayed, AMD Radeon's being considerably more expensive than Nvidia RTX is pretty much a big joke considering their tiny MarketShare and worse feature set, those pricing even if we account for tax and AIB premium is just very bad compared to Nvidia's RTX 5070's $550 - 5070 Ti's $750.

Performance leak is also all over the place, some are claiming 7900 GRE - 7900 XT / 4070 Ti & S performance, some say it is around 7900 XTX / 4080S. What is almost certain though is both of these RDNA 4 GPUs seems like will directly compete against the RTX 5070 - 5070 Ti which will land at around the same performance basing on scalability calculation of RTX 5090's performance.

At any other time, this wouldn't mean too much, but with how Sega has been bringing back franchises like Virtua Fighter, Shinobi, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, etc. these past few years, coupled with the success they've seen from JRPG stuff such as Like A Dragon and Atlus' games (Persona, Shin Megami Tensei, Metaphor), this is probably worth keeping an eye on.
