GTA 6’s New TV Trailer Is A Bit Different, See It For Yourself
GTA 6 's marketing push is ramping up substantially, and that includes with TV commercials. Eagled-eyes fans have discovered that the new GTA 6 TV spots actually contain some extended sequences, but just barely. For starters, a 30-second TV spot cuts out the steamy shower scenes with Jason and Lucia from the launch trailer . While the shower scenes are gone in this edit, the new TV spot has a slightly longer shots of an airplane sequence and another with Jason and Lucia standing next to their car. Jason playfully nudges Lucia, and in the TV spot, she nearly topples to the ground. The Xbox logo was also removed, presumably due to Rockstar's reported promotional deal with Sony. You can check out the comparison below. https://twitter.com/GTAVI_Countdown/status/2112897438885245268 A 90-second version, meanwhile, includes the shower scenes, along with the slightly longer sequences seen in the

I’m Getting Very Worried About Skate Following EA Layoffs
Publisher Electronic Arts recently slashed 400 roles across its company , which resulted in the shuttering of legendary RPG studio BioWare . But also impacted by the layoffs was Skate developer Full Circle, and now I'm growing increasingly worried about the future of a franchise I waited so long to make a comeback. Part of EA's latest round of layoffs on October 21 included cutting an unspecified number of staffers to create a "very clear roadmap" that leads to a "healthier and more sustainable business." Then, as VGC noted on the same day , "many" of the developers at Full Circle are gone. This includes artists Brendan Vermeltfoort and Will Granda, seasonal creative director John Epler, and senior designers Adam Martinazzi and David Milne--all of whom posted the unfortunate news on LinkedIn. It's always a bummer when talented developers lose their jobs at the hands of corporate greed, b

Breaking Down The Leaked Mass Effect 5 Trailer
After hearing the disappointing news that EA has shuttered BioWare , putting an end to two of my favorite RPG franchises— Mass Effect and Dragon Age —I have been, like so many other players, feeling pretty bummed out. But I consoled myself with the fact that, given the environment at BioWare in recent years, the now-canceled Mass Effect 5 probably wouldn't be that good anyway. Like many players, I enjoyed the Mass Effect trilogy, but felt that Mass Effect: Andromeda fell short. Similarly, BioWare's other recent titles— Anthem and Dragon Age: The Veilguard —struggled with messy development cycles marked by frequent changes in direction, mixed messages from higher-ups at EA, constant staff turnover, and other issues that ultimately led to an underwhelming gaming experience. After playing Veilguard, which felt nothing like the Dragon Age games I had grown to love, my hopes weren't too high
