Some characters in video games are going to spend a lot of time rubbing rolling around in puddles and rubbing themselves. It can’t be helped! It’s simply their nature. Some have argued that Metal Gear Solid 5’s Quiet character is little more than a vehicle for oggling: after all, she wears no clothes and never speaks. And of course, none of the male characters spend the entire game naked/showering. But that’s what we have modders for. They didn’t alter the actual model, but the simple act of substituting series stalwart Ocelot into some of Quiet’s scenes shows just how silly some of them are.

We’re getting a new Pokemon game. It’s not on a Nintendo handheld, it has no overworld, and it’s going to look nothing like any Pokemon game you’ve seen before. The idea of Nintendo putting its energy into a mobile spinoff of one of its most beloved franchises might be necessarily concerning to longtime fans: when does this ever work out, after all? But I’ve become unreasonably excited about Pokemon Go, and I think it shows more creativity than I’ve seen from Nintendo’s core franchises in years. It might not reinvent the company, but it’s indicative of an energy that’s very encouraging.

Yesterday, Rockstar more or less said outright that GTA Online has become their only focus when it comes to providing new content for GTA 5, meaning that story DLC is looking less and less likely as we move further away from the window when it would be relevant. But they’re also looking to cut ties with last-generation consoles completely, as they’ve announced that all future GTA Online updates will not becoming to PS3 and Xbox 360.
