    Steven Ogg famously portrayed the wildcard character Trevor in Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto 5, and he wishes Rockstar brought the character back for GTA 6.
    Speaking to Principle Magazine, Ogg said it would have been a nice moment to "pass the torch" to have Trevor show up at the beginning of GTA 6 "sitting on the toilet" or doing some "weird thing" like walking around having something fall on his head, knocking him to the ground.In short, Ogg said he wanted Trevor to have some kind of "acknowledg

    Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Players Are Creating Incredible Cover Songs In The Game
    For fantasy nerds, it's hard to top The Legend of Zelda video game series and Lord of the Rings film trilogy. If that's you, like it is me, then X user Seven will probably give you goosebumps with his cover of "Concerning Hobbits" in-game with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Watching young Link recreate the iconic song from The Fellowship of the Ring movie just works perfectly as a crossover (which you can see below).That's not the only song people are recreating in the Zelda: Ocarina of T

    We've seen Mario, karts, Mario on a kart, and lots more since Lego first teamed up with Nintendo, and at long last, everyone's favorite talking green dinosaur is getting his chance in the spotlight--not you, Denver. Never you.While it's just a quick tease for now, the Nintendo Today app featured Yoshi poking his head out of frame. It's clearly the fan-favorite character, judging by the color of the bricks, the shape of his eyes, and what's clearly a big snout taking up space; and judging by the

    Nier Automata is my favorite game of all time, and I've been telling everyone I know to play it for nearly a decade. On PC, however, Square Enix accidentally made that a little bit more difficult, because the game's latest patch ballooned the game's file size by more than 600%.
    The update, tested by RPG Site, takes what was a pretty reasonable 50GB file size and raises it to 366GB. It appears to be incorrectly assigning a file size of more than 40GB to each piece of DLC. The patch itself was sup

Stellar Blade on Switch 2 also targets 60fps, but in order to achieve that, it uses a very aggressive form of frame generation to
