  GTA 6 is shaping up to be a monumental release, from the sheer scale of its world to how it's expected to be the biggest game launch of all time. But those sky-high expectations were something Rockstar Games developers were very aware of during production.Speaking exclusively to Edge Magazine about the upcoming blockbuster, long-time art director and one of GTA 6's lead developers Aaron Garbut explained that the studio couldn't simply put out a game that met fan expectations.

• "There is no game preservation with DRM": Why GOG has spent 18 years fighting for classic games

  31-10-2026 15:00 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  Game preservation takes many forms. For some, it's archiving video game history in museums.. For others, it's fighting legal battles to make saving that history easier. Still others collect consoles and TVs from out of time, to play games precisely as they were released.But most players just want to have access to their classic games, and that's where GOG steps in. The acronym once stood for Good Old Games, and while GOG.com has long since become a prolific distributor of modern titles, the site

  After literal months of speculation and theories based on brief clues left in older trailers, Final Fantasy 14 purists have been proven right. The Evercold expansion's second new job is indeed a ranged physical DPS who uses quick-firing crossbows and a deadly pet bird in combat - and it's called Zephyr.Announced at FF14 Fan Fest Japan, Zephyr is described as a take on a "pet job."

• Crimson Desert players share money making tips after the new DLC added a ridiculously expensive ship

  31-10-2026 01:27 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  I've already accepted that I'll never own Crimson Desert's fancy new pirate ship, added as part of the Charting the Unknown DLC. I accepted it the moment I found out it costs 6 million in camp funds, but other players are desperate to take the wheel of the game's biggest, most imposing ship, and that means turning to other players who are throwing down 6 million like it's nothing. To be clear, Crimson Desert players can get the DLC's ships for a much more reasonable sum than 6 million. The small

• Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic could be going for a "simple hero's journey," says BioWare vet

  Mark Darrah, the famously outspoken RPG veteran who steered the Dragon Age ship until his retirement a few years back, predicts Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic will feature a simpler, stripped-down story in response to what he sees as overstuffed writing in BioWare's more recent games.Talking to Eldorado.gg, Darrah mused on the potential direction of Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic under former Mass Effect lead Casey Hudson's stewardship.

• Why is PC gaming outpacing consoles? "PC players have a bit more choice," analyst says

  30-10-2026 22:18 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  It's never been easier to recommend PC gaming, so it sucks that it's rarely been harder to build a gaming PC. With consoles struggling and their market long since mature, PC gaming is responsible for a lot of the annual growth in the industry. It regularly surfaces a much more diverse lineup of top games, and more developers (especially in Asia) are investing more in the platform. But what gives PC gaming an edge?I spoke to Emmanuel Rosier, Newzoo's director of market intelligence, about the gro

• High Stakes, Higher Boots: Here Are Horror Games’ Best-Dressed Women

  30-10-2026 21:16 via GameSpot - All Content
  
  While the female horror-game protagonist fends off demons and other predators, she is also serving looks. This is the rose-covered cross women are made to bear: We must inspire others with our appearance even while covered in gore. Within the broader scope of patriarchal society, this expectation, which then bleeds into fashionable horror games like Silent Hill 3 and the Fatal Frame series, is unfair. Women actively experiencing horror-game scenarios (a hateful god in Silent Hill 3, homicidal sp

• The Blood of Dawnwalker devs want to make RPGs that "we ourselves want to play" and not chase trends

  30-10-2026 20:33 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  The Blood of Dawnwalker, the debut title from Rebel Wolves, is one of the year's best releases, and my personal pick for GOTY 2026. While it's likely to be passed up by more critically acclaimed horror games like Resident Evil Requiem and, for the top award this year, GTA 6, I found it to be a delightfully old-school horror RPG with gothic vibes galore and a story worthy of multiple playthroughs. The secret sauce, according to the studio itself, is not to chase any current trends, but to make th

• Life-Sim Meets Otherworldly, Encroaching Horror in Village In The Shade

  Cozy life-sim games where you get to retreat to a rustic village for a relaxing, self-sufficient life on a farmstead are hardly in short supply--and, with so many stellar entries in this genre out there, a game following this formula needs a really good hook to stand out. Village in the Shade, a new release from NIS America on Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC, certainly looks the part of a cheerful, cozy farming game. But, as the phrase goes, looks can be deceiving--and, in this case, tha

• What GTA Clones Did Better Than Grand Theft Auto Itself

  30-10-2026 18:50 via GameSpot - All Content
  
  Grand Theft Auto represents the pinnacle of AAA games, not just in huge-scale production values, but in the kind of innovation that rewrites the rules for what games can even be. It seems only Rockstar is capable of fully nailing this style of game. Of course, with its level of success, that hasn't stopped other developers from trying.Rightly or wrongly, these games are often dubbed GTA clones, a label that automatically assumes it's an inferior imitation to the real McCoy. However, that doesn't

  Completing the Phantom Blade Zero Four Fierce Axes quest takes a long time as it requires you to reach the game's fourth region before it concludes. However, the bulk of the work is a hunt for book pages around Weeping Creek Valley, and you can't find all but one in your first few hours of playing. That last one is a right pain to get as it's locked off in an area of the valley you can only reach after getting to a completely different region of the game. So, if you're stuck at any point of the

• The best VEL 46 builds in MW4

  30-10-2026 17:28 via Latest from GamesRadar+
  
  Looking at SMGs, the best VEL 46 loadout is tricky to figure out, as it’ll depend on your tastes and intended use. Players favour assault rifles and SMGs overall as the best guns in MW4, and they’re not wrong to do so. In close-quarter and mid-range engagements in particular there's a clear advantage to using fast firing Vel 46, so I've cooked three builds that adapt to different styles - a run and gun option as well as something for mid range and long range, as much as you can push an SMG a
