Epic Slash writes: E3 is basically the Superbowl of gaming and leads the way for most of the announcements for the year. However as usual there are a number of games that were curiously missing from press conferences and reveals. Games that seem in danger of becoming vaporware.
Take-Two Interactive revealed it is pausing development on its Nintendo Switch 2 edition of "Borderlands 4" in its latest quarterly earnings.
The creative director of Ubisoft’s long-in-development Beyond Good & Evil 2 has spoken for the first time since the company’s ‘major reset’, reassuring that development of the game is progressing.
No fan wants that BS, we wanted a sequel not an MMO spinoff with an "Evil Jade" cameo
I love how they only added Jade like a year later through a CGI trailer to hush up the complaints about it being a prequel without Jade
Only to show Jade who's now evil creating a massive timeline issue as it makes no sense.
It's been in development for 15 years and counting. So, who cares, really? Say whatever you want. It's completely meaningless.
O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.
Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."
I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.
After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.
It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.
To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.
Rockstar and Valve live off of this kind of exposure and the more we tear at our skin awaiting the next big thing, well that's how they do things and will probably show what they have in their own time. So Agent, GTA and HL2-Ep3/HL3 will be out in 2000 and ... well before the next millennium.
The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy Versus 13 have a much better chance of appearing at the Tokyo Game Show and we should expect that to be the case.
As for the rest, well they're either relatively new announcements or the devs feel (as in the case of Bioshock and Zelda) that they've built enough of a hype train to miss E3 and keep going.
