Take-Two Interactive is suing the creators of reverse-engineered Grand Theft Auto 3 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City fan projects.
This news comes by way of VideoGamesChronicle, which reports that the lawsuit was filed in California and names 14 programmers who were working on the project. IGN reported back in February that this project had received a DMCA takedown from Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games.
The lawsuit claims that the people on the project "are well aware that they do not possess the right to copy, adapt, or distribute derivative GTA source code, or the audiovisual elements of the games, and that doing so constitutes copyright infringement," according to VGC.

A new Destiny 2 update went live yesterday and it enabled cross-play voice chat, a little over a week after cross-platform play was added to the game.
Bungie posted the patch notes for yesterday’s 3.3.0.1 Hotfix coming to Destiny 2 and in them, the company lists cross-play voice chat as now enabled in-game, as reported by GameSpot. This voice chat feature comes just after the launch of Season 15, which is called the Season of the Lost, on August 24.
At the bottom of the patch notes, in the "General" section, you'll find "Cross Play voice chat enabled" as a bullet point. However, Bungie lists some communication privacy issues that aren't working as intended for Xbox players. Here's what those issues are:
Xbox players will still...

Brendan "PlayerUnknown" Greene, the creator of PUBG, wants to create the biggest sandbox-style open-world game ever with his new studio.
The PlayerUnknown Twitter account posted a five-minute video today featuring Greene talking directly to the camera about his studio's aspirations, as reported by Eurogamer.
In it, Greene discusses his fascination with open-world games, how he wants to create games at a scale seldom seen, and more.
"And since [getting lost in the open fields of Chernarus in DayZ], I've held this deep fascination with sandbox-style open-world games and the freedoms that they give players, but I always just wished they were a bit bigger," Greene says in the video. "So that's our mission as a studio. We want to create...

The Top Gun: Maverick expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator has technically been delayed as a result of the movie's recent delay.
Asobo Studio and Microsoft have been clear from the start that Flight Simulator's Top Gun expansion would be released alongside the release of Top Gun: Maverick in theaters. As such, the release date was theoretically the same as Top Gun: Maverick's release date.
Now, due to Top Gun: Maverick's delay, the Flight Simulator expansion has been delayed as well, as reported by Eurogamer.
"Paramount Pictures recently shifted the release date of Top Gun: Maverick to Memorial Day weekend, May 27, 2022," a blog post on the official Flight Simulator page reads. "As we have previously announced, the Top Gun...
Android-only play tests for Battlefield Mobile will begin this Fall in two countries: Indonesia and the Philippines.
EA announced this news on its Battlefield mobile play test FAQ page, adding that as EA continues with testing, more regions will be added to the play tests. EA didn't mention which regions, however.
"We'll be steadily rolling out Battlefield Mobile starting with a series of smaller play tests in Indonesia and the Philippines," the blog post reads. "The first of these begins Autumn 2021, and will only be available on Android devices. As we continue testing, we'll expand the size of these tests [and] add new regions."
EA says that when the play tests grow broader in scope and size, it will launch a page that allows...
Halo Infinite will bring back the old motion tracker-style radar seen in Halo games before Halo 5 in light of feedback following the game's recent technical preview.
This news comes by way of a recent Halo Waypoint blog posted by 343 Industries breaking down all of the feedback the studio received during and following its recent technical preview, as reported by PC Gamer.
According to 343, most players missed the old properties of Halo radars, which differ from the game's current Combat Sensor that only displays enemy locations when they're sprinting or shooting a weapon.
"The Combat Sensor, or radar, that sits in the bottom left of your HUD follows a different set of rules than previous Halo titles," the blog post reads. "We knew...
Games with Ghibli vibes are becoming more prevalent these days, but so far, the closest I've gotten to feeling like a Ghibli protagonist floating in a summery field of grass has been with Hoa, a new platforming game from Vietnamese studio Skrollcat.
Hoa's inspirations are clear the moment the game starts, with a tiny protagonist floating dreamily to an island upon a single leaf before wordlessly beginning to explore. Without exposition, the titular Hoa begins to explore a world of sunlight filtered through green, gentle bug friends, hanging flowers and vines, sparkling cave systems, and soft, natural beauty. It's all done in a hand-painted style clearly nodding to its animated inspirations, and underscored by a tender, fully...
A remaster of Alan Wake might be coming next month, according to a new store listing.
Back in June, Alan Wake Remastered appeared alongside Final Fantasy 7 Remake within Epic Games Store backend data. Now, a little over two months later, listings for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox versions of Alan Wake Remastered have appeared on Taiwanese store, Rakuten Taiwan, as spotted by Wario64 on Twitter.
The links Wario64 posted no longer take you to the Alan Wake Remastered listings, but before the links were changed, IGN was able to visit each link and verify that each took you to a Rakuten Taiwan listing for the game. Below are screenshots of the PS4, PS5, and Xbox listings for Alan Wake Remastered.

Amazon has some top deals for tantalizing games that are on the near horizon (one of which actually is a Horizon). Basically, there's never been a better time to stake your claim for Forbidden West, Elden Ring, Far Cry 6, and Call of Duty Vanguard. Not into the latest and greatest? Well, a five buck Fallout is always worth a shot. I've also sniffed out some great deals on Rockstar's greatest offerings, and you can't go wrong with a few half-priced Call of Duty titles.

We already knew that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl, a Smash Bros-esque fighting game with characters from popular Nickelodeon shows, will be released on consoles this fall. But it appears that the release date is sooner than we expected if Nintendo's website is anything to go off of.

Curious to find out everything we know about Metroid Dread so far? We've got the Metroid Dread analysis you need to know, including why Metroid Dread IS Metroid 5. Metroid Dread is a direct continuation of Metroid Fusion on the Game Boy Advance. While the Metroid series will continue, producer Yoshio Sakamoto has stated that this game will be the conclusion of the storyline of Samus's particular relationship with the Metroids. While we're all still waiting for Metroid Prime 4, Metroid Dread looks to be an exciting new entry in the Metroid canon, along the lines of Super Metroid.

Todd Howard has described Starfield as "Skyrim in space," and a game that "[says] yes a lot." Offering an incredible amount of freedom and Bethesda's tendency for a massive scope, Starfield should have a lot to offer when it launces November 11, 2022.
