The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer has smashed through 60 million YouTube views in 12 hours | PC Gamer
WWW.PCGAMER.COM Y'all got any more of that once-in-a-lifetime reveal trailer?  

Looks like the Jason character has had a slight redesign. Didn't see too much of him in the trailer but I assume he'll be a playable character like Lucia. 

They certainly can't be turning up in 2027 with the Creation Engine, 2D character interactions, visuals from 2012 and no facial animations again🤣 ES6 is probably still another 5+ years away - I get the impression from interviews that they announced it way too early and then let it take a backseat whilst they were halfway through Starfield development. After the reception this game got especially from a technical and outdated standpoint, they may go back to the drawing board because releasing another archaic and unambitious game later this decade will not sit well. Their reputation is beginning to wane and people ain't as forgiving.

Bethesda are seriously making me worry About Elder Scrolls 6. They're going to fuck it up aren't they 😭🤣

Bethesda developers have been working overtime all week responding to negative reviews and telling people they were wrong and how they didn't play the game right. Some of the responses seem really unhinged and remarkably out of touch. 
 
Here's one infamous take:-
Some of Starfield’s planets are meant to be empty by design - but that's not boring. “When the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there. They certainly weren't bored." The intention of Starfield's exploration is to evoke a feeling of smallness in players and make you feel overwhelmed. You can continue to explore and find worlds that do have resources you need or hidden outposts to look through.
 
Comparing a real-life moon landing which was one of the biggest achievements in the history of humanity to their shitty procedurally-generated copy and pasted planets to justify their emptiness is one of the most insane things I have ever heard from a developer. It's just one of many really weird responses. Surely they would thank the players for their feedback, understand the critique and take on board what has been said for future titles but no, they have to tell the players that they should not be bored because the game is 'realistic'.
 
It's also a damning insight into their design philosophy through development.

2025? I struggle to find any sort of excitement for something so far off.

Real shame it wasn’t released as planned tomorrow but at least I don’t have to worry about finding a quiet 5 minutes at work! It would’ve been one hell of a global spectacle and many will go about their day tomorrow not knowing that’s it’s been out for 12+ hours already🤣
 
Trailer looks amazing and Rockstar never fail not to impress with their once in a generation games. Gutted it’s not 2024 and it could still be two years away but it will be worth the wait.

Thoughts?

I missed last week, so here are Episodes 71 & 72.  We talk about the mass exodus of talent from The Escapist, including Yahtzee Croshaw, and I'm sick this week, so Sarah and Adrian talk about some gaming tables, the PS portal, among other things.
 
 

Episode 73 is LIVE!  We talk about the new Super Mario RPG remake, an "Adults only" N64 channel for switch users in Japan, as well as some of the nominees for the game awards.
 
 

Episode 74 is LIVE!!  While we freeze our asses off at the Wellington County Christmas Market selling some handmade items, we pre-recorded this discussion on remakes good and bad.  Check it out!

Did this even get out of 'beta'? 
Activision Just Killed Call of Duty’s DMZ Mode — and No-One's Surprised - IGN
WWW.IGN.COM Activision has announced Call of Duty DMZ will no longer receive new content updates, sounding the death knell for the mode.  
Half arsed support and a lack of monetisation opportunities for Activision. Shame because they could've done so much more to it with a dedicated team working on this mode.

Gary @techno will be the first to get one no doubt! 😂
