Bully has been rated for release across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, right as it's due to debut for GTA+ members.

As first reported by Gematsu, Rockstar's oft-overlooked classic Bully was just rated in Taiwan, for a release on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One.

You can probably already guess how the regular rumor mill has taken this as evidence of a remaster, or even a remake.

It’s next to impossible for a Republican candidate to be so utterly, obviously rancid as to give LDS voters agita.

I don’t care how giddy the past couple weeks have made the Democrats; they can’t possibly hope to win Utah. »

It’s true that this isn’t something IGN normally does, but seeing as Fallout London is a project on a scale that rivals a full game, we’ve made an exception.

As big and grand as Fallout London is, it can sometimes be easy to forget that this is a mod and not an official sequel.

London itself is massive, around the size of Boston from Fallout 4. »

"If I had a game, I would not sign with 90% of publishers": Manor Lords publisher thinks "self-publishing is a fine way to go"

"If I had a game, I would not sign with 90% of publishers that exist out there.

The publishing lead states that not only could developers cut costs that way, but they'd also have more interest in their game's success.

Bender concludes that "self-publishing is a fine way to go" - as long as developers know what direction to take and are willing to "learn." »
