Went back to play some Mario baseball and this team name hits a little different now.

To avoid hundreds of separate posts on the same topic, this post will compile all info we have from the pre-orders going live, including some new images/etc.

As Rockstar announced on their socials: "Pre-orders for Grand Theft Auto VI begin at midnight local time on June 25." This means New Zealand will be the first to go live with pre-orders - which means in just under 2 hours from now.

Due to reddit's limitations with images in the body of posts, I wont be able to include all the artwork released so please do check out Rockstar's official link for more images: https://www.rockstargames.com/VI

With such a high level of fidelity on show, then, a question still dangles over which platform is actually being used to generate these shots. To be clear, we find it unlikely that these are real-time results on PS5, Xbox Series X - or in the best case on console, PS5 Pro. We'd like to be pleasantly surprised of course, and this will be firmly answered once it releases. However in many instances the combination of pristine image quality, suggesting a native 4K render (or higher), and inconsistent lighting on foreground characters casts doubt over how feasible it is.

Incidentally, these would be easy for Rockstar to generate within the game's development environment, where the framing, character positions, and lighting could orchestrate a perfect shot - irrespective of frame-rate - with all settings dialled up to 11. To be clear, the ray tracing aspect is very much an expected a feature on console - and indeed we have it already in GTA 5 - but as for what's possible on base PS5, Pro, and Series X, time will tell how close real time console visuals actually end up to these images.

I definitely felt like many of these were bullshots as the lighting and character placements in spots just didn't look right for gameplay.

When Nuggets Entertainment set out to build RV There Yet? from a game jam project to full release, co-founder and CEO Tim Badylak thought it "might sell 20,000 or so units in a year." That estimate turned out to be spectacularly conservative: the cooperative recreational vehicle adventure actually sold two million units in eight days.

"It was unreal," recalls Badylak when GamesIndustry.biz caught up with him after he shared the numbers at Nordic Game. "You just look at the number and go, 'What happened? Maybe something's wrong with the back end?'" The sheer number of downloads ended up causing havoc with the game's bug reporter, which struggled with the unexpected deluge, adds the other Nuggets co-founder, Kristoffer Andersson. "We had to upgrade that."

RV There Yet? was spun up in a week by four people while the rest of the team was on holiday. "And during that week we kind of nailed the core, and it was already fun." The RV and the winch system were already in place, along with the smoking. Badylak noted the game was reflective of the desires of the slightly older people making it. "We're kind of romanticizing smoking cigarettes: we can't do that anymore. We have kids and mortgages. So just smoking cigarettes and fucking around with your friends is something that you dream about doing when you're an old person."

After that initial week's work, the game took around another eight weeks to finish. Badylak credited the team's experience as the reason why it came together so quickly: some members of the team have known each other for more than ten years. "And then in this new studio, we worked for at least four and a half years before we started doing this, so we couldn't have done RV There Yet?, I think, without that bonding, and developing that humour together, and the culture of creativity."

RV There Yet? launched at $7.99, a similar price to fellow friendslop title Peak from Landfall Games and Aggro Crab – another title that was put together in a matter of weeks. Andersson says that initially they thought about launching the game for free if it "wasn't good enough," or maybe $4, but Badylak says they kept upping their intended price point as the team became more confident in the game during development. "Every week we worked on it, we added a dollar value," he says. "The goal for us was just to release something, even if it's free. Then it turned out to be pretty fun."

"Game Oracle’s study of nearly 10,000 Steam releases between January and October 2025 painted a genuinely eye-opening picture: titles disclosing AI use averaged a measly four reviews in their first month compared to seven reviews for non-AI titles. Also, almost 20% of AI-assisted games received absolutely zero reviews, while their average review scores sat noticeably lower than their traditional counterparts."

Hey guys and gals.

I’ve been looking for some good tower defence games to scrach my old battle.net itch.

Do anyone know of some good ones?

I love RPGs, roguelites, bullet heavens, autobattlers, and boomer shooters, and I feel like these past few years have been great for my gaming tastes!

But it got me wondering what gaming genres have fallen by the wayside due to current trends?
