I am shocked they don’t have the Vice City jerseys in 2K next week. That’d be easy money for them.

New Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick interview with CNBC:

- He refused to comment on the GTA 6 pre-order figures reported by Sensor Tower, but said their expectations were already high and were still surpassed
- NBA 2K27 sales are weaker because consumers are sitting on the sidelines, waiting to buy GTA 6 instead, as many people tend to buy only one game a year
- NBA 2K27’s new season will have an easter egg (likely referring to the Rockstar collab planned for Season 3 later this year)
- GTA Online support will continue with new content
- Take-Two wants to use the new tech to deliver new content more rapidly
- They now has the ability to create realistic images in ways they’ve never been able to do before

Based on those tree shadows, this could be PS5 Pro footage.

The video is real!

This is GTAVI, just confirmed by Rockstar on Instagram.

People who think DC should only be dark and gritty fundamentally misunderstand DC.

Anti-Ai artists and animators must now stop working for Disney and stop using Photoshop. This is going to be hilarious.

George Lucas says he wrote Star Wars for 12 year olds.

[Gabe Eltaeb Big Man Comics @Bigmancomics]

Star Wars a New Hope.

Batman, the animated series.

The Lord of the rings.

These are all regarded as some of the greatest fiction of all time. They are all written for adult adults and appropriate for children.

You can make things that engage adults without dropping every cuss word known to man, having perverted, gratuitous, sexual situations and horrific gory violence, and morally grey characters that celebrate evil like Deadpool. It’s easier to put the filth in your work to get a shocking reaction, but writers with real skill can write for adults and keep it safe for kids without dumbing it down to a preschool level that would bore adults.

[Jeremy @ManaByte]

That’s simply not true. You’re confusing a game’s frame rate with the display’s refresh rate. VRR is absolutely relevant at 30fps when Low Framerate Compensation (LFC) is supported.

Xbox has system-level LFC that allows a 30fps game to output at 60Hz by repeating frames, keeping the display within its VRR range. If the game drops to 28fps, it can output at 56Hz.

It doesn’t magically turn 30fps into 60fps, but it allows the display to synchronize with uneven frame delivery, reducing tearing and refresh-related judder. That’s a real benefit, particularly when a game struggles to maintain its 30fps target.

The idea that VRR suddenly becomes irrelevant below 40fps fundamentally misunderstands what LFC is designed to do.

[Jeremy @ManaByte]

If you have an OLED that supports VRR and Dolby Vision, it's surprisingly the best console to play the game on.

[ModernWarzone @ModernWarzone]

After seeing the news about GTA 6 on PS5 pro, looks like I made the right decision not getting one and buying an Xbox instead.

[Terry Matalas @TerryMatalas]

My work here is done.

[Jeremy @ManaByte]

Except people in the US with a specific console will be playing it as soon as it unlocks in New Zealand simply by changing their console region to NZ and rebooting it.

[officialragingluv @ragingluvYT]

Lowkey wish GTA VI had ONE global release time. 🌎

With New Zealand getting it 18 hours early, the internet is gonna be flooded with gameplay before the US midnight launch even happens. 😭

What are y’all thoughts on regional releases? Are you using the New Zealand trick or waiting until midnight? 👀

No other traveler has ever journeyed so far from home.

Voyager 1 is about to become the first human-made object to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth, or about 16 billion miles. ½

The GTA 6 poster is actually smaller on Xbox compared to PS5

[Jeremy @ManaByte]

He was a regular guest throughout the series starting in season 3.

Look who's in the STNG finale...

Romulan G'Kar!

@unikunka I remember meeting Jeremy way back when Marvel Studios was in the building with the Mercedes dealership on Santa Monica Blvd. Good dude, and knows his comics as well as his old boss Mr. Feige.

[Jeremy @ManaByte]

They should do a commercial where Gemini digitally erases the mustache without making his mouth look like this:

Henry Cavill is basically embracing every meme he's inspired 😆

[Victor Lucas @Victor_Lucas]

It’s Christopher Reeve.

Not Reeves.

If you say his name wrong in your expert commentary TikTok about James Gunn, a whole generation of fans screams like we’re Zod trapped in the Phantom Zone mirror.

Update 2: Rockstar has taken the billboard down.
