• GTA 6 at 60fps is "unlikely" on console and will be "genuinely challenging" on PC, tech analysts say

  28-08-2026 17:41 via gamesradar.com
  
  We haven't gotten official word from Rockstar yet on GTA 6's frame rate, but if you're holding out for a 60fps mode, the prognosis is not looking good. A new tech analysis suggests that it would be uniquely challenging for even high-end PCs to run GTA 6 at 60fps – never mind current-gen consoles.That's according to Digital Foundry, which has gone over the footage from GTA 6 extended look with its usual fine-tooth comb. They found that the game appears to be running at a native 1440p on bas

• The Nintendo ports of Metal Gear Solid 4 replace the iconic PS3 and PSP in-game consoles with generic variants

  28-08-2026 17:24 via gamesradar.com
  
  With the release of Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol 2, it's been confirmed that Nintendo editions of Metal Gear Solid 4 have removed PlayStation references from the game. Metal Gear Solid 4 was famously a PS3 exclusive until this week, and the game itself made that clear. Throughout the game you could see a PS3 console on Snake and Otacon's plane, Sunny could be seen playing the PSP, and Snake used a Dualshock 3 controller to control the Metal Gear Mk. 2.

  A blatantly unfinished trailer for EA Motive's Iron Man game has seemingly popped up online, days after footage from Avalanche's canceled Iron Man game also leaked. Tony Stark's got pretty bad cybersecurity for a billionaire genius, I guess.EA Motive (the studio behind the Dead Space remake) first announced its collaboration with Marvel Games in 2022. Not much was known at the time aside from the fact that EA's Iron Man would be a third-person, single-player action-adventure game and tell an ori

  Former PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida has praised the new Xbox disc-to-digital initiative, with many pointing out the irony of his classic PS4 game sharing video following Sony's decision to drop physical games. Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that physical Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S discs will soon be able to be transferred to digital games. This comes around a month after Sony confirmed it will stop producing physical games in 2028 for the PS5 and any future PlayStation console. That

  New set leak videos from The Batman 2 have arrived... and the hype for the upcoming sequel just tripled in size (for me, anyway).The videos, which can be viewed below, show three different angles of the Gotham City PD chasing the Batmobile via swarm of squad cars. They manage to box him in, but Batman escapes by accelerating and ramming into one of the cars before speeding off. The coolest angle is definitely the one from above, which really gives a heightened sense of realism and, to quote the

• No, That Video Is Not An Accurate Representation Of Fable’s Combat

  28-08-2026 16:20 via gamespot.com
  
  During Gamescom week, the Playground Games team working on Fable released a video showing off the game's combat. That video received a fair amount of backlash online, due to a boss appearing not to react to incoming attacks at all. Having played Fable myself now, and taking part in plenty of fights against both normal mob enemies and a boss, I think it's safe to say that the published video doesn't reflect my experience of Fable's combat.During my time with Fable at Gamescom, I played with two d
