  14-10-2026 17:23 via gamesradar.com
  
  Rockstar Games still won't reveal just how much GTA 6 has cost to develop, but one person involved has shot down the idea that the game has a $1.5 billion budget.Given the 13-year wait for GTA 6, it's probably safe to assume that Rockstar and Take-Two have spent a lot of money on the project. The game has been worked on in one way or another since at least the mid 2010s, with Rockstar North co-studio head Rob Nelson confirming the studio was working on a version of the game dubbed "Project Ameri

  14-10-2026 17:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  GTA 6 leaker Cyberleek has once again called it quits after their meme coin not only failed to meet the $30 million market cap goal meant to trigger the release of a purportedly playable build of the game, but flamed out entirely. In a series of posts to their website later shared online, Cyberleek insists that the coin crash wasn't their fault. Rather, somebody else dumped their coin stock, "everyone else sold, and CL was blamed for the crowd's dump." "The token was always a donation, never an

• Razer has decapitated Kuromi for its new earbuds, but it's the perfect amount of gaming tech absurdity

  When a brand like Razer launches a new "edition" of its existing tech, I always prefer the design to go big or go home. Transforming my favorite goth-bunny girl's head into a pair of Kuromi Edition Razer Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed earbuds is definitely a go-big moment.The $119.99 earphones don't just re-color the charging case pastel purple and slap on some existing Sanrio artwork and call it a day. Instead, the entirety of the existing gaming earbuds case has been swapped out with Kuromi's head

• Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Remake’s Dedicated Jump Button Is Good, Actually

  14-10-2026 15:41 via gamespot.com
  
  The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake looks to be a mostly faithful modernization of the classic game, with a few quality-of-life tweaks and updated visuals to make it play like a modern game. One of the more controversial of these is the addition of a jump button, which the original game famously lacked. But now having gotten hands-on with the remake, I can say that the addition of a jump is a good change, and Ocarina is better for it. Ocarina was designed without a jump button, and

  VisionQuest may be the conclusion to the WandaVision trilogy, but this is not Wanda Maximoff's story. Instead, it's Vision, specifically White Vision, who takes the limelight, and according to showrunner Terry Matalas, it was always planned that way. "She died in that big movie," he tells GamesRadar+ when asked how Wanda's absence impacted the story, referencing her death in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. "It's Vision's moment now.

  Did The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time need another remake? Ocarina is an all-time classic, but it's rooted in a particular time and place in gaming history. How would the new Ocarina of Time balance respect for its original design with modernization? Would it feel like old angular game geometry with an updated paintjob, or would it stray so far from its original design that it no longer feels like Ocarina at all? All of this was on my mind as I sat to play a lengthy portion at a demo event.I'

  The CRKD Atom+ has gone through some upgrades to merit its new 'plus' namesake, and its new size is exactly what I had hoped for when I first learned of the improved version of the retro-inspired gamepad.Don't get me wrong, it's still teeny tiny and should never be used as a day-to-day Switch 2 Pro controller substitute, unless you want some Mario Kart World with a side order of wrist cramp. However, the £29.99 (via Amazon) growth spurt has made it big enough to stand out amongst my messy
