GDC 2015 is over, and with record-breaking attendance this year it seems like the greater part of the game industry is still trying to get back to business as usual. 

But not everyone had a chance to attend GDC last week, and those that did couldn't possibly have had time to see everything.

With that in mind, we've taken the liberty of compiling a few highlights from the Official GDC Photost…

In the original ending, after crashing through a rooftop window and seeing Makarov strangled to death, Captain Price lights up a celebratory cigar as the scene fades to black. Come from Read more

Take-Two recently announced that Grand Theft Auto VI is now targeting a release in Fall 2025, and CEO Strauss Zelnick is pretty sure the game will make it out on time.

“There is slippage in the industry, and we’re not immune from that. However, we narrowed the timing [of GTA 6] because we are highly confident in that timing,” he told CNBC.

Zelnick also recently talked about how GTA VI’s release date “probably doesn’t matter” given the immense hype for it. However, he acknowledged that releasing in the fall–when people spend lots of money on …

Duke Nukem is a legend in the gaming world–mostly for the wrong reasons. Now, Legendary Entertainment and the producers behind Cobra Kai are trying to make him big on the silver screen, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Legendary Entertainment has picked up the movie rights from game development studio Gearbox and paired with Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg to bring the titular character to life. Four years ago, a Duke Nukem movie was under discussion with John Cena set to star as the Duke himself. The production stalled out, though, and this is an entirely new production with new producers.

Duke Nukem presents a unique challenge for movie adaptation; similar to Nathan Drake, Nukem is a homage to movie characters, inspired directly by 1980s action film ac…
