The Garry’s Mod ‘successor’ is, tragically, more Roblox than anything else

S&box, a first-person shooter and successor to Garry's Mod, offers a map editor and sandbox mode for constructing vehicles, but does not fully meet the expectations set by its predecessor. The innovative toolset that empowered modders in Garry's Mod is less prominent in S&box, which introduces a business model that may disappoint fans of the original's community-driven content. Currently, S&box faces technical challenges, including a low success rate for multiplayer server connections at around 30%. The front page features remakes of classic Garry's Mod games like Prop Hunt, highlighting ongoing nostalgia for the original.

‘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.
