The hype train for GTA 6 is already well and truly chugging along at this point. However, if you're hoping it'll offer an experience that's "wildly different" to GTA 5 in terms of being a huge step forward from a technical standpoint, a long-time Rockstar developer reckons you might want to keep your expectations in check a bit. In an interview with YouTube channel SanInPlay, Obbe Vermeij, who served as a techincal director at Rockstar from 1995 to 2009, touched on the topic of expectations for this next entry in the series. He offered some interesting perspective as to why he thinks Rockstar may well have faced a big challenge - at least in comparison to previous titles in the series - when it comes to the idea of making a huge leap forwards with GTA 6. "I don't think it's going to be wildly different to GTA 5," said Vermeij, who worked on GTAs 3 through 4 before leaving the studio in 2009, "I think people might be a little disappointed on the first day, but it's still gonna be the best game out there."

Everyone is still waiting for Hollow Knight: Silksong to release, so one YouTuber took it into their hands to get it made in Minecraft. Yeah, yeah, I know, Silksong out yet and it's frustrating. We're all waiting on it! And it is taking a while, but you know what? I bet you haven't even beaten Shadow of the Erdtree yet, so let's put a pin in Silksong for the time being, shall we? Sorry, you're so desperate to play absolutely anything from Silksong that you think you'll burst into a giant plume of confetti if you don't? Fine, alright, calm down. You're in luck, actually, because as it turns out, you can now play Silksong's fabled 2019 E3 demo… in Minecraft. As spotted by TheGamer, YouTuber Primacon commissioned Minecraft map maker Clouser to recreate the 2019 Silksong E3 demo, which you can check out below. Clouser has experience in putting Hollow Knight in Minecraft, as they actually remade the first three areas of the metroidvania in everyone's favourite game about blocks previously. On this occasion, Clouser has recreated the two areas available to play in the Silksong demo, Deep Docks and Moss Grotto, both of which have boss fights named Lace and Mossmother respectively.

Locally Sourced Anthology I: A Space Atlas does not, somewhat disappointingly, offer the infinite possible game concepts that space allows for.

The Energy Link is one of the most critical resources in Once Human, and you’ll run out of it pretty quickly if you don’t work toward keeping your stocks high. Energy Link in Once Human helps you teleport to towns and teleportation towers anywhere on the map once you’ve unlocked them, thus saving you a ton of fuel for your motorcycle and, more importantly, your precious time.

So, what’s the best way to Farm Energy Links so you never run out? View the full article
A group of The First Descendant players discovered an incredible exploit/oversight. Basically, the more FPS you have on your display, the more damage you do. This essentially means you need to buy a better TV or Monitor to take advantage of this method. On July 18, content creator Ryechews Games posted a video explaining how to perform the exploit. At first, Ryechews and a few people on his Discord channel thought this was a glitch with one of the game’s weapons, but it turns out it was tied to the number of frames The First Descendant generates in a second.

Asus' third variation of its Ally handheld, the ROG Ally X, is finally here, and our testing shows it's a genuinely impressive, and powerful, portable gaming PC despite not actually improving upon the AMD Z1 Extreme APU from the original. Instead, upgrades are made to the RAM, the battery capacity, and the overall design and efficiency of the cooling system. The Asus ROG Ally X is easily one of the best handheld gaming PCs, replacing the Ally Z1 Extreme as the strongest alternative to the Steam Deck OLED. That being said, the Windows operating system is still a huge weakness for the portable, and it throws up challenges that left me frustrated with the unrealized potential of this otherwise very impressive hardware.
