GTA 6 Studio "Must Be Quaking" With Nervousness About Living Up To Hype, Hell Let Loose Dev Says
The developers at GTA 6 studio Rockstar Games "must be quaking" with nervousness about the reception to the game, according to developer Craig Clark. Clark is a producer on Hell Let Loose, and he said in an interview that Rockstar has a lot of hype to live up to with GTA 6.
"The more excited people get, the more you get worried," he told GamesRadar. "I feel like Rockstar must be quaking."
GTA 6 is coming to market with a seemingly unprecedented level of hype behind it, and the game is expected to be a gigantic success commercially. The game has been delayed multiple times already, with Rockstar saying it needed more time to get the game up to its quality standards.

A former Infinity Ward lead animator has recently claimed that at one point, Activision pressured his team to develop a Call of Duty game about "Iran attacking Israel."
Chance Glasco, an animator who co-founded Infinity Ward with the late Vince Zampella, took to X to reveal this. In a post on March 4, Glasco said that there was "a very awkward pressure from Activision" for the next CoD game to focus on a battle between Iran and Israel. He said this came after Respawn Entertainment's formation, suggesting that the next CoD game, 2011's Modern Warfare 3, would've addressed this conflict.
This revelation was in response to the White House using Call of Duty footage to glorify its joint attack with Israel on Iran. While Glasco said the White House appropriating CoD gameplay to promote its military campaign against Iran "doesn't surprise" him, he clarified that the pressure Activision put on Infinity Ward was shut down because "the vast majority of devs were disgusted by the idea."

Pokemon Pokopia is a cozy Pokemon sim, which lets you customize your character with hairstyles, clothing, and shoes. You're pretty limited in the initial character creation process at the start of the game, but you can always discover new looks and change at any time. In this guide, we'll explain how to change your appearance and where to find new cosmetic items.
Table of Contents [hide]What you can and can't change in character customization
In the initial custom creation process, you don't have to stress any part of your physical appearance, because you can change all of that at a later time. This includes your clothes, hair, and skin color. However, it's worth noting that you can't change your name, so choose wisely.
How to change your appearance
You'll need a mirror to change your appearance. You can do this by finding a mirror out in the wild, as you can find them in the remains of human habitats. You can also purchase your own to change whenever and wherever you like.

Since its debut in 2022, GTA+ has primarily served Grand Theft Auto Online players and provided access to older Rockstar titles. This month, GTA+ members are also getting one of 2K Games' sports titles for a limited time.
Starting March 10, GTA+ subscribers on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S will be able to play NBA 2K26, the latest version of the long-running basketball franchise. This will include full access to everything in the game, as well as 5,000 VC, 6 types of Skill Boosts for 5 games, and a guaranteed Diamond Player Pack. However, that last benefit will require a NBA 2K account as well.
NBA 2K26 will only be on GTA+ until April 20, but whether or not this is indicative of any changes to the membership is unknown. GTA+ has been laser-focused on Rockstar's games----including LA Noire, Bully, and Red Dead Redemption. But it could grow even bigger if had access to the vast library of 2K titles. The sports games alone are some of the company's biggest hits, but older titles like the BioShock trilogy could offer even more variety to the lineup. For now, however, Rockstar hasn't said if it will add any more non-Rockstar games to the GTA+ library going forward.

Over a decade after a disastrous debut plagued with faceless NPCs and frame rate issues, Assassin's Creed Unity is rounding out its comeback story with an update that bumps up the frame rate to 60fps on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
The patch is now available, allowing Assassin's Creed Unity players to experience the French Revolution era title more smoothly than before. And while Ubisoft didn't advertise a resolution upgrade, the PlayStation version's update history mentions 4K support. It's also worth mentioning that Unity supported the Xbox's FPS Boost feature, but the new patch gives native support for the improved frame rate.
Ubisoft also promoted a massive sale for the PlayStation version of Unity, while the Xbox version will be one of many Assassin's Creed titles playable for free from April 2 to 6 as part of Xbox's Free Play Days.

Developer Bungie has revealed new details about Marathon's monetization strategy now that the extraction shooter is almost out, promising that there are "no pay for power" mechanics.
In an X post on March 4, the official Marathon account explained the extraction shooter's seasonal content and premium currency. The team said that all seasonal content will be "free for all players," regardless of when you decide to jump into the action, because the reward passes "do not expire." This means that, in the game's sort of Battle Pass structure, you can always go back and buy old content, as well as unlock new seasonal content (which includes zones and playable characters) for free.
You can do this with two different types of in-game currency: Silk, the currency you earn by playing the game; and LUX, the currency you buy with real money.

Highguard is shutting down soon, and when the servers close on March 12, the game will have lived for just 45 days. Why did developer Wildlight have to close the game so soon and scrap the previously planned DLC?
According to Chad Grenier, the studio head at Wildlight and game director for Highguard who previously worked on Apex Legends and Titanfall, it came down to money. He said on social media, "Not enough revenue to keep anyone employed to work on it, unfortunately."
Grenier said this in response to a question about Wildlight's previously announced Year 1 DLC roadmap for Highguard. Someone asked why Wildlight was not going to keep the game online long enough to get all of that content out the door, and Grenier said the studio does not have enough funds to continue.

Saber Interactive's Hellraiser: Revival is shaping up to be an authentic recreation of the infamously brutal film series, and ahead of its eventual release, the game has received an ESRB rating. According to the chief creative officer at Saber Interactive, Tim Willits, no content needed to be cut for the game, which includes some very gruesome content. Willits hinted at this push for extreme content last year, as he mentioned that Saber Interactive was going to go as far as possible to secure an M-rating.
"I can say that we have our ESRB rating, which was great, and we had to take nothing out for that," Willits said to IGN. "We're working with all the other ratings groups now, and I think that we're going to do really well. It's all context. It all fits with the IP. It is an artwork, and it is a mature game for mature audiences. We've stayed within those lines, and we've been very successful at moving the game through all rating boards."
While gamers are no strangers to gore--just look at Mortal Kombat or modern-day horror games like Resident Evil Requiem--Saber Interactive is looking to push the envelope with Hellraiser: Revival by aiming to be as true and as unfiltered as possible to Clive Barker's creation. Hellraiser books and films don't just cover a disturbing amount of brutal violence, but also sex and BDSM themes that the Entertainment Software Rating Board is usually strict on. How Hellraiser: Revival will be rated in other countries also remains to be seen, as some of its content might not fly in other regions, like the infamously strict Australian Classification Board.

Resident Evil Requiem actor Nick Apostolides, who plays Leon Kennedy, has commented on the state of AI in gaming today, saying AI is capable of speaking lines but there is "nothing human behind it."
Speaking to PC Gamer, Apostolides said what draws people to games is that the characters and stories in them are "so human." He said, "The stories are so real, the emotions are real" and players get invested in that. "I don't believe AI can do that," he said.
He went on to comment on the raid shooter Arc Raiders and how its developer, Embark, used text-to-speech and machine-learning technologies for its voice lines. He said for a game as successful as Arc Raiders, "to pay for an actor's voice session is not that big of a deal."

Pokemon Pokopia is a cozy sim that lets you live alongside Pokemon in a game centered around crafting and building instead of battling. Building your own settlement with Pokemon can take time, but there is a hack if you want to speed things up.
Much like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pokemon Pokopia features a day-night cycle linked to real-world time, meaning that a day in the game is as long as a day in real life.
Time traveling on your Switch 2 can be used as a hack to allow you to speed things up and see your projects come to life faster in-game.
