Rockstar hasn't even released a second trailer yet for Grand Theft Auto VI, but that isn't stopping analysts from again predicting that the highly anticipated game should retail for at least $100. This time, Wedbush Securities--alongside well-known analyst Michael Pacter--are arguing this premium price point could benefit players as well by bundling in GTA Online currency.In a Wedbush industry note, a prediction is made that Take-Two will sell GTA VI "at a previously unheard of price point." The game company "can offer consumers an incentive to pay $100 or more per unit by rewarding them with a large amount of in-game currency to be spent in GTA Online," write Pachter, Alicia Reese, and Kade Barr. What's intriguing about this proposal is the fact it's unknown what happens with GTA Online once GTA VI launches. Last month, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick suggested that GTA Online could continue with GTA VI's release, but theoretically alluded to it as a "legacy title." Meanwhile, GTA V just received an enhanced upgraded on PC earlier this month, with the old version subtitled Legacy. The Wedbush analysts point to how Call of Duty: Warzone (and mobile) have helped lead "to a 40% increase in sales of Call of Duty premium," though Activision and Microsoft haven't confirmed those figures. As such, Take-Two can utilize similar integration to boost GTA VI sales. The Wedbush group isn't the first to posit that GTA VI could cost $100, though proposing this high cost could reward players seems new. Additionally, last year Larian Studios director of publishing Michael Douse noted that GTA VI could prompt a shift to more expensive games. One thing usually left out of this discussion is the fact many big-name new games already cost more at launch with deluxe and collector's editions.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ahead of its release later this month, Ubisoft has shared a few details on the graphical performance for Assassin's Creed Shadows on PS5 and PS5 Pro. This is the first Assassin's Creed game to be made specifically for current-gen consoles, and on PS5 hardware, there'll be three graphical modes to choose from. Ubisoft noted that PS5 Pro is the only console that supports extended ray tracing, which offers ray-traced reflective surfaces throughout the game world.On PS5, players looking for a 60fps experience will want to stick with Performance mode, as this offers an upscaled 4K resolution and selective ray tracing that is used to compute global illumination for diffuse lighting in the Hideout portion of the game, according to a Ubisoft blog post. Fidelity mode offers upscaled 4K with standard ray tracing, but this means you'll play the game at 30fps. For the best of both worlds, Balanced mode is upscaled 4K at 40fps with standard ray tracing, but it does require a 120/240hz display and HDMI 2.1.For the PS5 Pro, the specs sound more impressive as Performance mode is 4K upscaled with 60fps and standard ray tracing, while Fidelity mode is 4K upscaled with 30fps and extended ray tracing. Like the base PS5, Balanced mode on PS5 Pro also requires a 120/240hz display and HDMI 2.1, and it offers a 4K upscaled experience with 40fps and extended ray tracing.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Video game voice actors have been on strike since July 2024, and with no end in sight, members of the SAG-AFTRA union held their first picket of 2025 this week and further discussed why the issue of AI is so critical.Resident Evil Village actor and member of the negotiating committee Andi Norris told Variety that picketing paused for a period due to the Los Angeles wildfires and "everything that the world is dealing with" currently. But picketers returned to the WB Games offices in Burbank, California this week, with Norris said the aim is to ensure that people understand that the voice actors are "still fighting."According to the report, the two sides have come to terms on 24 of 25 items, with the one outstanding issue being protections against generative AI.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When Activision revealed Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 this week, the company didn't get into specifics about whether or not the two-minute time-limit structure from the older games will carry forward to the re-release. Now, developer Iron Galaxy has cleared up the situation.The original Pro Skater 3 included a two-minute time limit to complete a level's challenges, but this was removed in Pro Skater 4; players could freely explore levels and complete missions at their own pace for its career mode. When Activision announced the re-release of 3+4 this week, many wondered if there would be a time limit in Pro Skater 4, with confusion stemming from product pages that mentioned a "two-minute format."GameSpot understands that THPS 3+4 will have a shared feature set that aims to unify the two games. Objectives for players to complete will be based on a timer for both games. That said, the game has a Free Skate mode with no timer at all. The game also has Speed Run and Single Session modes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The annual Nacon Connect event had several interesting reveals this year, from Lovecraftian horror to a RoboCop: Rogue City expansion, but a deep dive into Hell Is Us showed off some interesting ideas from developer Rogue Factor. Set in a semi-open world, Hell Is Us is an action-RPG where players can traverse a region under siege from supernatural creatures. The big draw here is an emphasis on satisfying combat and exploration, with Rogue Factor aiming to make the art of discovering new locales feel rewarding by stripping the game of maps, compasses, and quest-markers. "Combat is only 50% of the experience. The other half of the game is all about the exploration, the discovery, the joy that's related to them, and how they play a central role in your journey," Hell Is Us creative director Jonathan Jacques-Belletête explained in a developer-diary video. "Unlike traditional games, Hell Is Us doesn't rely on quest-markers or a guided path. There's no magical compass pointing you in the right direction, and there's no quest journal with a shopping list of everything that you need to do and in which order. Our player-plattering approach encourages you to follow your own instincts, discover clues organically, and chart your own course through the adventure."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
