‘Wow, that was quick’: Resident Evil Requiem devs thought it would take 2 weeks to crack the Final Puzzle, but players did it in 4 days

Players of Resident Evil Requiem faced challenges with The Final Puzzle, which involved deciphering a series of numbers linked to celestial symbols. The gaming community solved the puzzle in four days through datamining, surprising even the developers at Capcom. Producer Masato Kumazawa initially doubted the puzzle's solvability. A complex segment included a conveyor belt and grinder sequence requiring a 15-minute wait while avoiding zombies. Players theorized that the goal was to flood the grinder system to bring a doll to the surface. Afterward, players had to return to a hospital bathroom to flush a toilet eight times, linked to a clue involving a dead body with the number eight written in blood. This task was part of the process to flood the system, retrieve the doll, and complete the symbol puzzle for in-game currency rewards.

Valve’s new Steam Controller has a major problem for PC games not on Steam

The new Steam Controller lacks native Windows drivers, making it dependent on the Steam application for functionality. This means it cannot be used effectively with games from other platforms like the Epic Games Store or Xbox Game Pass, as it cannot interface with locked files on Windows 11. Gamers wanting to play titles like Forza Horizon 6 via Game Pass must purchase them directly from Steam to use the controller. While Valve could release standard Windows drivers to address this issue, there is skepticism about their willingness to do so. The gaming community previously developed a tool called GlosSI to enable the original Steam Controller to work with non-Steam applications, and a similar solution may emerge for the new model.

Nintendo GameCube Gets Surprise Minecraft Alternative In 2026

The Nintendo GameCube is experiencing a resurgence, particularly with the availability of GameCube classics for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, including Pokémon XD: Gales of Darkness. A creative individual has introduced a legally distinct game from Minecraft for the GameCube, referred to as "Cube game on GameCube," which requires a modded GameCube and the Swiss homebrew tool to play. This game offers a block-based sandbox experience similar to Minecraft, which predates the original Minecraft release by a decade. Players can modify the game to resemble Minecraft, but must provide their own assets. Additionally, the port is compatible with the Dolphin emulator on PC, which has seen enhancements, and can also run on the Nintendo Switch. The gaming community has recently seen an increase in the availability of GameCube titles on PC and Switch, including a port of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Cancelled The Last of Us Online director says it was ‘the best multiplayer game’ the team had ever played

The Last of Us Online was canceled, disappointing many fans who anticipated it as a significant addition to the franchise. Former game director Vinit Agarwal called it "the best multiplayer game [the team] ever played," a sentiment shared by many ex-colleagues. Initially intended as a mode for the single-player campaign, the project evolved into a standalone multiplayer spin-off. The cancellation decision arose from a choice between continuing TLOU Online or prioritizing the next game directed by Neil Druckmann. Agarwal learned of the cancellation just 24 hours before the public announcement, describing it as "soul-crushing." He expressed a commitment to ensuring future projects do not go unnoticed. The gaming community is now looking forward to Druckmann's next title, speculated to be Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, with hopes that elements of TLOU's multiplayer experience may eventually return.
