Fired Rockstar developers can bring blacklisting claims against the GTA 6 developer, UK tribunal rules as final trial looms

An employment tribunal in the UK has ruled against striking blacklisting claims levied against Rockstar Games by staff the GTA 6 studio abruptly fired last year from ongoing legal proceedings between the two sides. The staff were let go in autumn last year, with Rockstar subsequently claiming that they were fired due to the leaking of "confidential information" via a public forum. The IWGB Game Workers Union, representing the ousted workers, have accused Rockstar of union busting over the firing...

Dispatch's Free 'HR Violations Pack' DLC Removes Some Censorship On Switch

Yes, "some". One of the biggest talking points out of Dispatch's Switch 1 & 2 launch earlier this year was its lack of censorship options. Today, developer AdHoc Studios is releasing a free DLC to address some of that. And yes, we mean some. While other platforms came with a Visual Censorship toggle — which let you choose whether to see in-game nudity and profane gestures — the Switch versions had no such option, with everything being unchangeably covered up by default.

Abe Lincoln dodged the bullet in goblinAmerica, a brain-mottling shooter set in a putrefying alternative USA

Towards the end of goblinAmerica's tutorial level, you mercilessly gun down a huge cherry tree. Like much else in the game's world, the tree is an abomination – beige and rubbery as a stunted hatchling, with hard, tacky fruit hanging from it like dumbbells torturously sewn into the skin. Its death throes are pathetic, and somehow erotic. It sags and sprawls, breasting across the arena boobily with an undefinable cry. I am happy that this creature is slain, and hope never to encounter its like ag...

Assassin's Creed Shadows' final content update brings new story tying directly into Black Flag Resynced, but it's bigger than that

With Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced right around the corner and Codename Hexe still brewing (mostly) in secret, Ubisoft is finally saying goodbye to last year's Assassin's Creed Shadows. Its very last content update has now been released, and while its focus is on wrapping up Naoe and Yasuke's storyline, it's a big one, leading directly into next month's pirate remake.

Roughly two years ago, Warframe received a delightful dose of heartbreak in the form of Jade Shadows. Digital Extremes' free-to-play sci-fi shooter has a history of 'intermission' quests - smaller stories that helped fill the space between larger narrative beats; smaller portions of intrigue, and fresh gameplay loops to indulge in.

Feature: "Why Is Falco So Thick In This Game?" - Lost In Space With Star Fox Zero

THREE pilots, TWO controllers, ONE Arwing, ZERO mission. With the return of Team Star Fox imminently upon us, folks are feeling pretty torn about the series retreading old ground instead of forging a new chapter in Nintendo’s long-running rail shooter. And while that may be disappointing to some, there are at least a few interesting additions to the original N64 title beyond its glossy new coat of paint - challenge mode, multiplayer dogfights, filtering our faces in real time to look as handsome...
