Yes, it's mostly incremental changes, but there does seem to be a lot of small stuff that really polishes the overall experience.

The map overall is a massive improvement, especially with how horribly boring Mexico was in Horizon 5, and fixes one of my biggest gripes with it. The verticality is fantastic, and there's a lot of varied and complex road sections spread out throughout the map that'll make for fun events.

Physics seem to have gotte...

Not a rumor. PGI head Russ Bullock confirmed that about 30% of the team was laid off, with the rest of the team focused on releasing the upcoming MW5: Mercs DLC and another MW5: Clans DLC later this year. He also confirmed that the MechWarrior license was renewed recently, so it seems likely that work will continue on the IP (pure hopium).

Losing Alex Iglesias (their lead artist) is huge, as not only was he instrumental to PGI finding success with MechWarrior thanks to his ...

They confirmed that they toned the traffic way down for this gameplay. I guess they didn't want IGN to hit every second car they see.

This one gave me a chuckle, too.

There's at least a better reason to believe a smaller studio than the likes of Bungie or EA, which can pivot at any moment due to shareholder pressure. You're right either way, no reason to make promises for such a far-away period of time.

It's not just Saudi Arabia, it's also Jared Kushner.

Doubt we're seeing a Switch 2 version.

You mean the same Ghislaine Maxwell that just got transferred to a minimum security prison right after talking with the administration? Anyone can see that she'll say any anything about Trump in order to get her sentence reduced. I wouldn't be surprised at all if she got a presidential pardon soon.

Battlefield V had a BR mode too, although it was abandoned pretty soon after launch. Rumors are that BF6 is getting the resources it's getting due to EA wanting to make a Warzone killer, so the BR mode might be the primary reason why the game looks as good as it does.

BF Labs is a pre-alpha build of BF6.

No Halo isn't a surprise for me, given how early we know the next Halo is in development. What was most shocking was no Fable gameplay, despite having seen snippets of it last year, and E-Day should've had something too since it's also releasing next year. No Forza Horizon 6 announcement was a big disappointment (hopium made me ignore the leaks claiming as such), but we know the next Forza is coming next year, and the trailer and gameplay usually releases the year of launch.

This is a bizarre take. Review embargoes are commonplace among most games, and early embargoes is usually a sign of confidence that the game will be good, not the other way around.

All he needs to do is not open his goddamn mouth every time there's some kind of backlash to not aggravate the fans further. How many times now have his shit opinions gotten Gearbox in hot water?

Booting the ur-Didact from the games was one of the greatest narrative mistakes they made (after bringing back a logic-plagued Cortana, of course). Even if you had to read the Forerunner novels to understand his history, he was one of the most complex characters in the series, and he should have remained as an enduring part of the universe.

I'm happy that he at least got a send-off in Halo: Epitaph, but it shouldn't have gotten to that point.

If you honestly believe that multi-billion dollar corporations won't use the tariffs an excuse to increase product prices, whether it actually affects said product, then I don't know what to tell you.

Yeah, this one threw me off too, I had to check in-game after installing it. DLC is currently 50% off till the 9th, which is still really attractive if I end up really liking the game.
