GotGame: You go into your local game store and buy the latest title that you’ve waited almost 2 years for. After multiple delays and now rave reviews, it’s in your hands, and you’re as excited as Hitler in disguise at a Bar Mitzvah. Ok that was kind of terrible, but whatever. You take it home and turn on your console of choice, and pop in the game disc. It loads, and you’re shaking. You’re SO excited. Then…the following message pops up:
“Your system is not permitted to run this game. Your graphics card is out of date. Please update your graphics card to play this title.”
Digital intelligence and analytics firm Sensor Tower has released its State of Gaming 2026 report, revealing flat growth in mobile game revenue, double-digit growth for PC and console gaming, and another record year for PC, with more games sold on Steam than ever before.
Tom Lee, Creative Director, Team Ninja: "We’re excited to announce that The Two Masters DLC for Ninja Gaiden 4 will be released to ninjas of all skill levels on March 4, 2026! This story-driven expansion continues Yakumo and Ryu’s battle against fiends that once again threaten to take over the world. After completing the main story, players will unlock new story chapters that push both characters into battles against even deadlier enemies, challenging bosses, and new trials that will test the skills of even the most seasoned master ninja."
Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."
Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.
This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.
I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.
I have no idea what I just read :D
I hate that picture...it's so arrogant
Who approved this? I'm not upgrading my browser to read some stupid article.
dude hair is blowing in the wind in the pic. thats silly with some washed up and beaten dude who is down in the dumps.
"The only time you have to update your console is when it breaks or a new one comes out, so every 10 years now."
I nearly freaking fell out of my chair laughing at this one. The ten-year cycle marketing Kool-Aid has certainly come full circle.
"So go ahead and play what you want on anything you want, but don’t assume one is better than the other. They’re the same in terms of money."
Um. You haven't heard of the Humble Bundle or the Steam Sales, have you? Or the somewhat-frequent $50 triple-a releases...
