Don’t tell Nintendo, but I turned GTA 5 into Pokémon Go using a mod

In the modding community, there is an ongoing effort to transform Grand Theft Auto 5 into a version similar to GTA 6. Players have noted that vehicles traveling at supersonic speeds can severely impact anything in their path. The game's protagonists—Franklin, Michael, and Trevor—often appear to navigate Los Santos in solitude, prompting the desire to introduce companions into their adventures. A creative concept called Pokémon Go GTA Edition reimagines Los Santos as a hunting ground for Pokémon, featuring characters like Geodudes, Charmanders, and Pikachu. In this mod, only Trevor seems capable of hunting Pokémon, leading to encounters where he captures a Geodude and a Squirtle, while a Charmander escapes after a brief skirmish.

Who is Cyberleek? What we know about the GTA 6 leaker

On August 18, an entity named "Cyberleek" shared what is believed to be authentic gameplay footage from Grand Theft Auto 6, featuring the protagonist Jason. The footage showcased typical GTA activities and was removed from social media due to copyright claims from Take-Two and Rockstar. Cyberleek's leaks were not from testers but indicated access to a segment of GTA 6. They expressed consumer rights grievances and made three demands: no more digital preorders, no selling DLC already included in base game files, and mandatory offline fallback states for single-player games. Cyberleek is also promoting a cryptocurrency token, $Cyberleek, with a market cap of .1 million, allowing token holders to vote on gameplay clips to release. The timing of the leaks suggests a possible European origin, and investigations link Cyberleek to past posts on a German cybersecurity forum. There are indications that Cyberleek is not affiliated with Rockstar Games, and if identified, they could face significant consequences. Rockstar's official gameplay reveal for GTA 6 is scheduled for August 27.

‘I would love that but we’re cheap and poor’: Jeff Kaplan speeds through everything players should know about his upcoming cowboy survival game, The Legend of California

Jeff Kaplan discussed Kintsugiyama's upcoming game, The Legend of California, set in gold-rush-era California around 1849. It is an open-world survival multiplayer game that combines exploration and player interaction, categorized as a first-person shooter rather than a simulation or traditional MMO. Players can engage in activities typical of a cowboy's life, such as trading, fishing, mining, and ranch building. Private servers will allow for player-versus-environment settings, while public servers can host up to 100 players, featuring competition and combat, but not building destruction. Server resets will occur monthly, changing the locations of key points of interest while retaining player unlocks. Future enhancements may include holiday events, pets, and horse breeding, with the potential for a "Toys to Life" concept. The game will undergo at least two more alpha phases before early access.

Overwatch’s newest Emerald rank is like a live grenade wedged between plat and diamond

Overwatch's Season 4 has introduced a new rank called Emerald, positioned between Platinum and Diamond, to address the skill gap between these ranks. The addition aims to provide players with a better sense of rank identity and a new goal to achieve. Emerald serves as a buffer in matchmaking, allowing for a more tailored competitive environment for players who are better than average but may lack refined teamwork. Players in Emerald experience unpredictable game outcomes, reflecting the rank's demographic. Additionally, there is a noted decrease in toxicity within matches at this rank, emphasizing the importance of teamwork and adaptability in gameplay.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s multiplayer ‘tour’ mode is a chaotic arcade racer spliced with a MOBA, and that somehow works brilliantly
