• Dev rewrites GTA 3 source code to reveal what Rockstar was hiding and show how Liberty City fit on a PS2

  Grand Theft Auto 3 was not the first open-world game, but it laid a blueprint that the industry is, in many ways, still following to this day.

Now, a dev has rewritten the game's source code to demonstrate how it all works.The PS2 has just 32MB of memory to work with,

• Control is "Remedy's RPG franchise," says creative director, and it's been that way since long before it was even called Control

  13-05-2026 21:26 via gamesradar.com
  
  Control may have been GamesRadar's 2019 Game of the Year. It may be a thrilling action-adventure game with a mind-bending world and story, but there's one thing it isn't: an RPG. Sure, there are some light RPG-style systems and character progression, but a full-blown RPG, Control is not. That said, its sequel, Control Resonant, is shaping up to be exactly that, a true-blue action RPG with dedicated buildcrafting, a bunch of meaty skill trees, stat screens, and so many different abilities as to e

  Somewhere in the ether, there's evidence of the Generic Universal Role Playing System, or GURPS, version of Interplay's Fallout, in which franchise co-creator Tim Cain dumped every adjective he's ever heard of before a botched licensing deal ultimately led the 1997 game to the SPECIAL ruleset current developer Bethesda still uses. Cain is missing most of that evidence – or he thought so, before unearthing a fat list of advantages, disadvantages, quirks, and skills he shares in a new YouTub
