GTA 5 Player Becomes First To Beat The Game Without Taking Any Damage
For the first time ever officially recorded, a player beat Grand Theft Auto V without taking any hits or damage. The feat was accomplished by UnNameD, who posted the full run on YouTube with a comment saying it took 48 attempts to finally complete the game with no hits. And if you’ve played GTA 5, you know the game isn’t exactly short.
To make sure absolutely no damage was taken during the run, UnNameD used a mod that gives the player just 1HP, ensuring any hit would be a one-hit KO. Trevor’s special “Red Mist” ability was also disabled, and UnNameD additionally didn’t use body armor for the full run.
The run is impressive for a game like Grand Theft Auto 5, where shootouts are often chaotic and a single stray bullet has the potential to end a promising run. Besides shootouts, players aiming for a no-hit run on GTA also have to be careful drivers, with even low-impact car crashes having the potential to deal damage. A few players in the speedrunning community have been a…
Insomniac Pledges $50,000 To Abortion Rights Group, Sony To Match Contribution – Report
Following widespread criticism of PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan’s email last week urging employees to “respect differences of opinion” around abortion rights before writing at length about his cat’s birthdays, Insomniac Games has reportedly decided to donate $50,000 to the Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project, a pro-choice organization.
According to The Washington Post, Insomniac shared the news in an internal email sent May 13. In it, Insomniac CEO Ted Price also confirmed that parent company Sony has agreed to match the studio’s donation, a marked departure from Ryan’s “middle-of-the-road” stance last week. Furthermore, Sony has also pledged to match all donations made from individual Insomniac employees as long as they make them via the company’s PlayStation Cares program.
The Ratchet and Clank and Marvel’s Spider-Man developer then revealed it is currently working with Sony to “formulate an initiative to provide financial assistance to employees who might ha…
Jurassic World Evolution 2 Announced, Launching in 2021
Jurassic World Evolution 2, a sequel to the park management title, has been revealed at the Summer Games Fest Kickoff Show, by actor (and Jurassic Park alumni no less) Jeff Goldblum. The teaser trailer showed off a new stunning park filled with all sorts of familiar prehistoric life, with a 2021 launch window confirmed at the end.
The pre-rendered trailer doesn’t present much in the way of details regarding how this sequel will build upon the foundations of the first game, but you can probably count on having a whole new set of challenges to tackle as you navigate building and running a dinosaur-filled park of your own. This time around the game is coming to a host of platforms from the get go, with Xbox One, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC all listed at the end.

Jodie Foster To Star In True Detective Season 4 – Report
Actor Jodie Foster (The Silence of the Lambs) has reportedly been cast to lead Season 4 of True Detective, a batch of episodes subtitled True Detective: Night Country. Deadline was first to report.
Foster, who is also executive producing the series, will reportedly play Detective Liz Danvers. Season 4 of the anthology show will come from writer and director Issa López (Tigers Are Not Afraid) and co-executive producer Barry Jenkins (Moonlight).
Back in 2019, series creator Nic Pizzolatto was developing a storyline for a potential Season 4–though months after the Season 3 finale instead decided to use what he had come up with for another series or film. He then began work on another storyline for True Detective he had discussed with an undisclosed actor. And after that, for a while, True Detective’s future seemed uncertain as years passed with no new updates.
In February 2021, HBO chief content officer Casey Bloys revealed that work ha…
John DiMaggio Returns After All For Hulu's Futurama Revival
Futurama will be returning with its original cast intact, after all. According to Deadline, John DiMaggio–the sole holdout in the recent announcement of the revival–has “closed a deal to reprise his signature voice role.”
“I’m back, baby! So damn grateful for the love and support of fans and colleagues alike during this whole time (especially my wife, Kate), and I cannot wait to get back to work with my Futurama family,” DiMaggio said in a statement obtained by the publication. “#Bendergate is officially over, so put it on the back of a shelf behind Xmas decorations, or maybe in that kitchen drawer with all of the other crap you put in there like old unusable crazy glue, or maybe even put it in a jar you save farts in. Whatever floats your boat, I don’t care, you get the picture. I’m back, baby! Bite my shiny metal ass!”
After the revival was announced in February, and that DiMaggio would not be participating, speculation quickly arose that the acto…
Legacy Of Kain Fans Are Convinced The Next Game In The Series Is Being Secretly Tested Soon
Crystal Dynamics is preparing to hold a secret playtest for one of its upcoming projects in May, with some fans speculating that the Tomb Raider developer will invite select players to try out a new Legacy of Kain game. Crystal Dynamics confirmed to PCGamesN that a closed playtest is happening next month, but the studio didn’t mention which game will be tried out on an invite-only basis.

What is known is that players who completed a recent Legacy of Kain survey report have received an email from Crystal Dynamics for the playtests. “Crystal Dynamics will be hosting playtests for a new game from May 3 to May 12,” the invitation reportedly reads. “The playtests will be remote so you can participate from home as long as you have a PC or Mac, web camera, microphone, and the Microsoft Teams app installe…
