Ben Stiller Posts "GTA," But It's Not About GTA 6

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 01:24

Actor Ben Stiller sent some people into a tizzy recently after he posted "GTA" on social media, with some theorizing it has to do with Grand Theft Auto VI or the franchise in general.

That's not the case, though. Stiller is a huge fan of the New York Knicks, and his "GTA" post was no doubt in reference to Knicks point guard Jose Alvarado, and a defensive play he is particularly famous for. For him, it's an acronym for "Grand Theft Alvarado." In last night's game, Alvarado had a steal, which no doubt encouraged Stiller to head to his keyboard and post what he posted.

After Two Great Single-Player Games, This Dev Is Trying Something Totally Different

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 01:00

Surgent Studios has revealed its next game: FixForce. Sticking to the studio's pattern, FixForce is completely different from what Surgent has done before--unlike grief-driven metroidvania Tales of Kenzera: Zau and surreal first-person horror game Dead Take, FixForce is a chaotic cooperative game in which you play as a team of robots charged with repairing a post-post-apocalyptic world.

Designed for up to six players, FixForce sees you and your friends each take control of a robot and do your best to complete repair jobs within a time limit. Viewed through first person, you primarily complete assignments with a tool that allows you to telekinetically pick up, rotate, and throw junk or machine parts scattered throughout the environment to solve environmental puzzles. Your tool can also affix items to others, allowing you to construct makeshift bridges, ramps, and towers to aid in exploration.

To confound your team's efforts, each of you spawns in with a battery representing your health, and hazards will chip away at that health if you're not careful. You can't survive being in water, for example, and occasionally enemy bots will latch onto your character's chassis and begin sucking away your battery. Allies can help you--making a walkway for you to get out of a pool you accidentally fell into, for instance, or pulling off the energy-sucking enemy bots and tossing them away--but they can harm you too. With a simple click (purposeful or by mistake), you can push an ally off a ledge to their demise or steal their battery to power something you need.

Control Resonant Gameplay Preview: Doing The Unexpected With The Familiar

Thu, 03/05/2026 - 01:00

In trying to understand something new we have a tendency to draw comparisons to the familiar. That's probably why, in a 30-minute showcase of Control Resonant's gameplay, attendees mentioned Dark Souls, the Batman Arkham games, Alan Wake 2, and Bayonetta. Everyone has a lens they want to look through to bring the unfamiliar into focus.

Remedy insisted that the biggest influence on Control Resonant is its predecessor, Control. The only influences that director Mikael Kasurinen and combat designer Sergey Mohov overtly acknowledged were Neon Genesis Evangelion and Sucker Punch's InFamous: Second Son.

The former, a story about a traumatized boy defending a city from alien incursions using a biomechanical humanoid mecha in the hopes he will be able to understand himself and earn approval from others, is an apt point of reference for Control Resonant's protagonist Dylan Faden. Dylan, the brother of Federal Bureau of Control's director Jesse Faden, is a powerful parautilitarian who has abilities by way of a connection to an otherworldly entity called Polaris. Despite showing huge potential, Dylan was deemed to be unstable, going so far as to kill or cause the deaths of other FBC agents. In the events of the first game, Dylan was left in a coma after having The Hiss, another hostile entity, purged from his body.
