Estonian independent developer Fracture Labs aims to rectify one major shortcoming in the gaming market with its Decimated project: the current lack of any decent cyberpunk-themed online game.
GTA 6 trailer sends fans into frenzy, earns game dev praise, and leads people to ponder their inevitable demise: 'What if we die before GTA 6 releases in 2025?'

Grand Theft Auto 6, the latest open-world crime simulator from Table Tennis studio Rockstar Games, got its first trailer yesterday. Perhaps you heard. So far as I can make out, the reaction so far has been a kind of obsessive euphoria, as literally millions of people around the world pore over 90 seconds of footage to pick out details, theorycraft, and plan literal crimes against humanity.

So, yes, people are very excited. Type the letters GTA into a social media search bar or glance at any of the series' myriad subreddits and you'll find a sea of fans in ecstasy over Rockstar's long-anticipated reveal. «What the fuck are those in-game graphics,» reads a relatively measured and highly rated comment from Reddit user aweh_sassy, «it looks real.»
Other users pretty much echoed that sentiment in one way or another, at least when they weren't kvetching about that 2025 release date, including redrubies20, who turned to Cartoon Network edits to communicate their boundless excitement for the sudden reality of GTA 6.
The reaction from a lot of actual game devs was, well, pretty similar actually. Rami Ismail tweeted that he hadn't seen «such a realistic depiction of any real place on Earth» since Flight Sim 2020. Neil Druckmann, of Last of Us fame, called the trailer «jaw-dropping,» and added that «for someone who grew up in Miami… This feels eerily familiar.» I was curious if Hideo Kojima had tweeted anything in response to the trailer, given his own experience cutting trailers for his games, but he's mostly just been retweeting things about Léa Seydoux, which is fair enough.
The thing about trailers that send the whole world into a spin, of course, is they take a lot of work. That's also why the fact this particular trailer leaked hours before it was supposed to air officially had Rockstar devs declaring that «this fucking sucks.» Despite the widespread excitement, lots of people seem to agree. Amid all the enthusiasm, some people are taking the time to offer Rockstar's devs their condolences—and express their own upset—at the fact the trailer leaked early.
«Teams work literally hours, days, weeks, nights, to build the best rollout to capture the attention of social media,» wrote Joshua Stein, senior social media manager at Xbox, «Leaks utterly ruin that and waste a ton of work and also risk flat spinning your whole marketing message.»
Even fans agreed. A commenter named Leddy12 on Reddit summed things up when they wrote, «I really despise leakers, I don’t know why, but I actually feel bad for Rockstar. They’ve been working on this for so long, and some hooligan comes along and

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Fans Showing Love To Square Enix Devs
Video game developers are constantly under pressure to make the best titles they can. That goes double for when they’re working in an established franchise or have made a hit game and are asked to follow it up. With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the pressure increases exponentially because of various factors. First, the previous entry in the “remake saga” was a smash hit and “rewrote” the world and characters that fans loved in certain places. That means the sequel could be just as “shifting,” and that has caused some problems amongst “some fans.” By that, we mean people have been bombarding the Square Enix team with messages and demanding that certain things don’t happen in the sequel.

Here's one for people who like Vampire Survivors, bullet hell, and when games go all meta and screw with you
Wild and weird action roguelike Picayune Dreams released from Early Access recently, meaning it's definitely time to enjoy this thing if you're a fan of horde survival roguelikes, bullet hells, or games that get all meta and screwy. Populated by a cast of surrealist 3D renders that look like rejected 1990s clipart and backed up with a very serious drum and bass breakcore soundtrack, this is an indie that's decidedly, committedly into a specific aesthetic.
