News L.A. Noire Remaster Does Away with Its Often Confusing Trust, Doubt, Lie System
Chill out, Cole
There's a new trailer out for L.A. Noire's remaster, and it reveals a rather important change to one of the game's core gameplay systems. And yes, we know this is a Switch-specific video, but we don't see why this alteration would't be implemented in the PlayStation 4 version as well. Okay, so in the original L.A. Noire, you...
News Red Dead Redemption 2 Will Likely Be Rife with Microtransactions
Take-Two aiming to add additional purchases to all its games
You know how we all complain about microtransactions on forums and social media? Take-Two (the company that controls labels like Rockstar and 2K) literally doesn’t give a crap, as it’s cashing in big time on titles like Grand Theft Auto Online and NBA 2K18. In fact, “recurrent...
News Grand Theft Auto V Is Officially the Best Selling Game Ever

Looking killer?
Crime drama L.A. Noire will make its grand comeback on the PlayStation 4 next month, and to build a little enthusiasm, publisher Rockstar Games has released a new trailer of the title running in 4K on the PS4 Pro. To be honest, despite the significant bump in resolution, this game is still looking very much like it belongs in the...

Despite the success of Grand Theft Auto Online

Red or dead?

News Two More Grand Theft Auto Games Are Coming to PS4
And more Max Payne on the way
Why is Rockstar the only publisher porting its PS2 Classics to the PlayStation 4? Clearly there’s money to be made with this initiative, and Sony should be trying much harder to encourage more companies to hop aboard. For now, though, we’re going to have to make do with Rockstar’s wares: Grand Theft Auto: Liberty...

News Red Dead Redemption 2 Story Trailer Introduces an All-New Outlaw
Ganging up
As predicted, Rockstar has wheeled out a fantastic trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2. The video introduces us to Arthur Morgan, an outlaw who rides with the famous Van der Linde gang.

News Red Dead Redemption 2 Returns Next Thursday
Rockstar teases more info
Rockstar is teasing something Red Dead Redemption 2 related over on Twitter, and as you'd expect, the gaming sphere has gone nuts. It's been pretty quiet on the Western front since the developer announced that the game's release would be delayed back in May. There were rumours that it would reappear around E3 2017, but...
News Grand Theft Auto V Is The Best-Selling Game of All Time
In the US, anyway
Grand Theft Auto V is the best-selling game of all time, according to American sales tracking organisation NPD. Now there are some caveats here: this only applies to the United States, so there may be titles that have historically performed better – though it’s perhaps worth noting that Rockstar’s opus finished second in...
News L.A. Noire Will Be Doing Some Detective Work on PS4 Later This Year
Rockstar announces port
Following rumours that surfaced earlier this year, somewhat-sandbox detective title L.A. Noire is making the jump to PlayStation 4, Rockstar Games has confirmed. The original released on the PlayStation 3 all the way back in 2011, and it was reasonably well received by critics and gamers alike. The current-gen edition...
News Four Years After Launch, Grand Theft Auto Online Just Had Its Best Quarter
Gangster's paradise
Grand Theft Auto Online enjoyed its best ever quarter in the period spanning 1st April to 30th June – despite the game being almost four years old.

News Is Rockstar About to Bring Midnight Club Back?
Leaked images apparently appear
This is an unexpected rumour to say the least.

The nature of the game is unknown at this time, but images on an Xbox Live server...
News Grand Theft Auto 6 Rumours Just a Big Fat Hoax, Sadly
Rockstar's maybe not doing motion capture work after all
Update: Tim Neff has no knowledge of Grand Theft Auto VI at all. "That isn't my page, account, or resume," he said of the resume which supposedly leaked. "I don't even know that website. I worked on Grand Theft Auto 5 a long time ago and haven't done anything since." Original...
Rumour Fresh Evidence in L.A. Noire PS4 Remaster Case
Rockstar investigating PlayStation VR support?
A few months ago, there was a rumour that suggested Rockstar was remastering Team Bondi’s detective title L.A. Noire for the PlayStation 4.

News Grand Theft Auto V Has Shipped an Absolutely Insane 80 Million Copies
Digital sales included
We all knew Grand Theft Auto V as going to be gigantic, but we don't think anyone realised just how preposterously successful it would actually end up being. Rockstar's open world blockbuster has surpassed 80 million sales according to publisher Take-Two, which is an utterly insane figure. Equally mental is that the title has...
News Red Dead Redemption 2 Delayed Until Spring 2018
New screenshots released
As anticipated, Red Dead Redemption 2 is hanging up its hat and returning to the saloon until Spring 2018 on the PlayStation 4.

News That Leaked Red Dead Redemption 2 Screenshot Isn't the Real Deal
Shot down
And that's why you put "rumour" before a headline that may or may not turn out be true. Yesterday we reported on an allegedly leaked Red Dead Redemption 2 in-game image. The picture itself is pretty darn boring, but there's so much hype surrounding Rockstar's next blockbuster that we couldn't just ignore it. We noted that the...
Rumour New Red Dead Redemption 2 Screenshot Leaks
Howdy partner
Okay so it's not that interesting a picture, but this is Red Dead Redemption 2 we're talking about - we can't just ignore it, can we? The reasonably legit-looking snap surfaced over on GTAForums, and it's been making the rounds all afternoon. Given that we've seen next to nothing of Rockstar's sequel, it's no surprise to see fans...

News Push Square to Doubt These L.A. Noire PS4 Remaster Rumours
WTF?
There are rumours that Rockstar's readying a remaster of… Well, er, L.A. Noire.

Video Red Dead Revolver PS4 Readies Us for Redemption 2
Straight to the Wild Wild West
This author's last-last-gen Western of choice was Activision's cult classic GUN, so Red Dead Revolver kinda got lost in our boots. But Rockstar wasn't peddling snake oil back in 2004 – this game was clearly ahead of its time. Turning back the clocks with this PlayStation 4 port, the control scheme feels almost...

Video Is The Warriors Worth Revisiting on PS4?
Streets of rampage
The game based on the movie based on the book is back, as The Warriors stealth released on the PlayStation 4 recently as part of Sony's PlayStation 2 ports initiative. In our latest livestream, we figured that we'd give the brawler the once over – and you can watch us get busy with our fists above.
News Rockstar's The Warriors Brawls to PS4
Can you dig it?
Rockstar's made some unexpected games over the years, with The Warriors being one of them. Based upon the 1979 movie of the same name – which itself was inspired by a 1965 novel – the game's essentially a beat-'em-up, which originally released all the way back in 2005 on the PlayStation 2. And now, via Sony's emulation...

Making a murderer
One of the most controversial games of the PlayStation 2 era slipped a noose around the neck of the PlayStation 4 recently, and we figured that it was worth checking out.

Indeed, speaking as part of the firm's latest round of financial results, CEO...
News Here's the Map from Red Dead Redemption's PS4 Sequel
Apparently
Well. Earlier this week, there was a comical NeoGAF thread in which a poster claimed to have obtained the map from Red Dead Redemption 2. As is ever the case on the prolific message board, drama ensued, and the image was eventually removed. It didn't smell like a fake to us, but given the distinct lack of information, we passed on posting...

Disgruntled executive wants $150 million
Do you remember when Leslie Benzies, the former president of Rockstar North, left the Edinburgh-based developer earlier in the year?

Video Does Bully Still Rule the School on PS4?
We don't need no education
Rockstar stealth released Bully, the legendary PlayStation 2 boarding school simulator, on the PlayStation 4 this week – and we've squeezed into our old uniform in order to put it through its paces.

Cotton-eyed hope so
We'll probably all scream yee-haw when Red Dead Redemption 2 is announced – after all, the game's been in development since before the days that people spoke with exaggerated twangs and the main form of traversal was on horseback.
