GTA 6 makers have 10 working days to voluntarily recognise Rockstar IWGB Game Workers Union or it may go to a government tribunal

The newly-formed Rockstar IWGB Game Workers Union are pushing for official recognition by Rockstar ahead of GTA 6's console release this November. Although the union publicly announced themselves at the end of May, they still aren't officially recognised by Rockstar Games. Until they are acknowledged by Rockstar, the union won't have the formal channels to push for their stated aims of pay transparency, flexible working, and an end to crunch. However, UK law is on the union's side.

Generative AI is a "virulent plague" and even using it to eliminate "drudgery" has downsides, reckons long-time Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider

Generative AI is a "virulent plague" and even using it to eliminate "drudgery" has downsides, reckons long-time Dragon Age lead writer David Gaider

Former Dragon Age wordsmith David Gaider isn't keen on the use of generative AI in game development, at least in the tech's current form. In the veteran developer's view, even if it can be used as a means to speed up the handling of more mundane tasks - which is the way many execs have been trying to sell it - genAI runs the risk of inhibiting developers' abilities to teach the less experienced colleagues the ins and outs of the craft.

Mini Review: Arcade Archives 2 TEKKEN (Switch 2) - A Welcome Throwback To The Iconic Original

Still the King? It’s been 14 years since Tekken last showed up on a Nintendo console. Yet despite supporting the Wii U and 3DS with Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Tekken 3D: Prime Edition, Bandai Namco has yet to grace the Switch 1 or 2 with a new entry or port. Enter Hamster. The company’s latest Arcade Archives 2 release revives the original 1994 arcade Tekken for Switch 2, enhancing it with a modernised menu, new modes, and online leaderboards. In sticking to its arcade roots, however, we miss o...

The word going around Summer Game Fest this year was that Stranger Than Heaven was tougher than nails. And having played it I can confirm that it is. Until it isn't. Stranger Than Heaven is frightfully hard to get your head around for the first few minutes, particularly as this demo was essentially just a case of being dropped into three bouts of increasing challenge with only a quick video tutorial first. But once you unlearn a few habits and learn to think the way it wants you to, it's less di...

That means the bill's march through the legislature, which has been backed by the wider Stop Killing Games campaign, has come to a relative standstill for now.
