Hundreds of bug fixes and more content coming to Saints Row

The latest Saints Row game has been out for a while now, but has mostly been met with a shrug of the shoulders and a hesitant "nahaaaa". In addition to not quite living up to its predecessors, many players have also complained about various bugs that mar the experience, including trains plowing through buildings, T-positions, and NPCs getting stuck in things. Help is on the way, though, and developer Volition says they're working hard to improve the experience and have heard all feedback. T

Huge leak from Diablo 4 as well

Yesterday we reported on the massive GTA 6 leak, where tons of footage, source code, and other material from Rockstar's blockbuster game seems to have leaked online. Blizzard is probably not happy now but might just not be that sad either, because it took some of the spotlight off the fact that a Diablo 4 leak also appeared yesterday. There are two leaked gameplay videos totaling 43 minutes. The movie shows how a Barbarian runs some quests, and also the skill tree, the shop and more. It is

Huge GTA 6 Leak - Videos, Images and Source Code Available Online

Someone has managed to come across a huge collection of footage from Rockstar's upcoming GTA game and then leaked it online. It's about leaked footage and images from GTA 6 which is currently in development. In addition to images and videos, it has also been confirmed that more serious things such as the source code for the game were leaked. The leaked material must have come from the staff's communication logs in the Slack app. Some videos also appear to be taken from Rockstar's in-house develo

Hellena Taylor is rallying fans to boycott Bayonetta 3

Hellena Taylor has been Bayonetta 's voice in two games, but in the 3rd it is instead Jennifer Hale who does the witch's voice. It has been unclear why they switched voice actors. but at the same time, it has happened before in the gaming world that iconic voice actors have been replaced. Sometimes it can have to do with things as simple as scheduling conflicts, but in Taylor's case, it's all about the money. According to her, she was only offered $4,000 dollars to do the role.

Half a million players flock to Chivalry 2 after Game Pass release

Last week it was time for Chivalry 2 to be released on Game Pass, and judging by the player numbers, many were hungry for the action-packed medieval battles. Via Twitter, the official Chivalry 2 account writes that over 500,000 new players have jumped into the game since its release on Game Pass, and that was written after just four days, so it's not impossible that the number has risen further. The game came out last April, and after a month Torn Banner Studio was able to proclaim that it

Half a million Call of Duty accounts have been suspended

The gang behind the Call of Duty games continues to work on reducing the number of cheaters and people who misbehave with others. A consequence of that is that half a million Call of Duty players have been banned so far. In addition, 300,000 account names have been changed since an automatic filtering system was launched. The changes apply to names that are judged to be offensive, offensive and similar. The administration uses both automatic systems and human moderators to keep chats and na

GTA VI - Trailer 2 is released!

Completely without warning a new trailer from GTA we were just released, close to a year and a half after the first. We meet Lucia Caminos and Jason Duval, a love couple with crime as livelihood. They live their lives in a solar and night-drenched vice city (based on Miami). Just like in the first trailer, we get to see Lucia Mucka from prison, but she has apparently not learned for it not long before the couple robs and ravages. Everything is captured on the PS5, according to the final text. Th

Gotham Knights is locked to 30 FPS on Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S

WB Games Montreal says that their upcoming Batman game (without Batman) will lack "performance mode" and the ability to choose between it and "quality mode". Gotham Knights will also be locked to 30 FPS on consoles. According to them, it's because of the co-op and cooperative nature of the game. The information about this was posted on their own discord and has since been spread via, among other things, twitter by others. In other words, they haven't released any official information about this

Gollum developer Daedalic is happy to make more Lord of the Rings games

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum definitely has potential, even if what has been shown has not received a resoundingly positive reception. Everything from the graphics and Gollum's design to the game mechanics have received skeptical comments, and the latest we heard from developer Daedalic was that the game is being delayed (for the second time) indefinitely instead of releasing as planned on September 1st. However, Daedalic are hopeful and believe that the game may show the world what they a

Flight Sim X-Plane 12 released - Demo Available

Microsoft Flight Simulator may be the oldest (the series is about to turn 40!), but flight sim competitor X-Plane has also been at it for decades. And yesterday a new version - X-Plane 12 - was released as early access. So it's an early version that's still in development that's been released, and you have to be aware that mods and third-party stuff might not work. But X-Plane 11 is included as a backup, if that's any consolation. New in version 12 are, among other things, new planes, weath

Fallout doubles its player numbers on Steam (and you can probably guess why)

In the wake of the Fallout series on Amazon Prime, several Fallout games have "more than doubled" their Steam concurrent player stats (according to Steamdb). The series is of course an obvious reason, but Bethesda (coincidentally!) has also teased some games, and Fallout 76 is currently free to try for doom-seekers. That, Fallout 4 and Fallout: New Vegas have all received major boosts. That's about doubled, tripled, yes, even quadrupled the numbers for the Fallout games. And there will

Fallout 2 as fps - Download or play online today

There are Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 reasons to believe in a long wait for Fallout 5. The game is confirmed, but will only be released after Bethesda's other two giant RPGs. 2028-ish? Perhaps?

Fable development is said to be slow, as Microsoft insists on its own game engine

We haven’t seen the smoke of Fable since the summer of 2020, when it was announced. The reporting since then has mostly consisted of who joins the team. However, we have heard rumors that development is slow as the Forza Horizon studio lacks RPG experience . New report talks about another brake block: Microsoft is said to insist that their games use in-house engines. In 2021, we got wind that the engine that will drive Fable is the Forza engine Forzatech. Microsoft insider Jez Corden h

Embracer is not entirely satisfied with Saints Row's reception

Saints Row was released exactly a month ago and … probably didn't impress very many. The ratings have been relatively low - enough to cause the Embracer share to decline - and sales do not seem to have been very good either. During Embrace's annual meeting, CEO Lars Wingefors had the following to say: "Personally, I had hoped for a better reception for the game. It has been very polarizing.
