So what are the games developed in Quebec?

For example, Sea of Stars. What else?

I don't need them, but being immediately taken to a screen with a plethora of accessibility options on first start up is really commendable (Stellar Blade).

Load your old saves to collect a bunch of achievements. There should be 45 trophies for KOTOR and 57 for KOTOR2.

I only had Dark Side saves on my XBOX ONE. Time for a Light Side replay.

Ahead of ‘Grand Theft Auto VI,’ Rockstar Staff Vote on Union Effort | Next 2 weeks could be a little hectic for employees at Rockstar. On Nov. 19, they’ll release 'GTA VI' to seismic success. And along the way, more than 1,600 staff in the UK will vote on whether to form a union

The ballot is open to Rockstar employees who are below director level at the company’s offices across the UK. The vote will run until Nov. 26. The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain says that if the current contract is recognized, it will “provide a framework for workers to negotiate over pay, including overtime and bonuses, as well as leave and pensions, and to have consultation rights over HR policies and the use of AI.”

In a press release announcing the union vote, Rockstar programmer and union representative Nestor Uriarte said that he was “incredibly proud” both of Grand Theft Auto VI and the organizing effort. “For me, those two things are connected,” he said. “We care deeply about the games we make, and we want to make sure we can continue doing that work in an environment where we’re respected, have a meaningful say over our conditions and can feel secure about our futures.”

Wondering if there's a game like that?

I'm currently playing Dying Light 2, and it's making me think about a game with zombies, where you would work across the map to "take back" sections of the map from the zombies/infected, progressing until the whole map is cleared. Does such a game exist?

I don't believe Project Zomboid fits this, neither do Days Gone or State of Decay.

Forza Horizon 6 Content Roadmap

Playground Games has detailed what to expect in Forza Horizon 6's upcoming series updates in early 2027.

Playground Games has shared a new video detailing what players can expect in Forza Horizon 6’s upcoming series updates into early 2027.

Presented by Design Director Torben Ellert and Senior Game Designer Will Hugh, the video reveals that Series 8, dubbed Horizon Holidays, will add a new winter-themed circuit to the stadium, with a Time Attack and Drift Attack track running alongside each other.

Series 8’s Drift Attack will also have different sized clipping points, with narrower ones that are harder to hit but offer higher multiplier rewards.  

Beyond that, a roadmap reveals what to expect in early 2027. Dubbed Legendary Explorers, Series 9 will add seven cars on 31st December.

Out of these, five will be Festival Playlist reward cars with an off-roading theme. New-to-Forza cars will include the Subaru Forester Sti Version, Subaru Outback Wilderness and Lexus GX 550 Overtrail. They are joined by the Toyota Hilux Arctic Trucks AT38 and classic Range Rover, which return from Forza Horizon 5.

Also making its Forza series debut as a Treasure car is the Datsun Baby, a diminutive 1960s car designed for learner drivers in Japan. With a top speed of 28 mph, it’s the slowest car in Forza Horizon 6. Lastly, the Renault 4L Export will return from Forza Horizon 5 a Playlist History Reward.  

Alongside the new cars, the series will introduce permanent new content for Legend Island, including a regional mascot and an extended Marathon street race event with an extended route across the island and Japan.

Next year will see the release of Forza Horizon 6’s first expansion on 21st January, with Playground Games teasing that details will be announced “soon.” This will also coincide with the long-awaited PS5 release and the Exotics & Tuners series. 

Five reward cars are confirmed for this series so far. By popular demand, the Honda Civic SIR-II will make its Forza series debut alongside a ‘Lola’ variant of the Toyota Corolla GT-S. This appears to be based on the hero car in Drifter, directed by and starring Sung Kang, which shares the same nickname.  

These will be joined by the Holden HSV Commodore Group A SV, which is new to Forza Horizon but previously featured in Forza Motorsport. The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S and Ferrari 599 GTO will also return from Forza Horizon 5.

There will also be a permanent new radio station, along with other content still to be announced.

On 25th February, Series 11 will add three new unannounced reward cars and two returning cars. On top of that, 15 cars from previous entries will return to the Autoshow alongside a new paid DLC pack.

There will also be a new permanent Drift Attack location at the docks, providing plenty of opportunities to drift around containers.   

Looking ahead, Playground Games announced an “overhaul” for Festival Playlists that will “address the FOMO with the cars” next year. After Series 11 drops, all new and previous playlist reward cars will be “permanently accessible,”  though it’s unclear how they can be accessed.

A second unannounced expansion will also be released in 2027.

Previously Beloved Game Platform "Humble Bundle" Releases Slop Website Update that Breaks Security and Basic Functionality

8.4k Upvotes

For those who don't know, IGN purchased Humble some years ago and seem to have consequently fired almost all employees of the previously beloved company.

Humble was set up to get money to charities, and it certainly did that- purportedly to the tune of almost $300 million over the years since. I've personally used the site since it's original launch and purchased many bundles and games from there.

They just dropped a website "update". Of the issues reported so far:

  • Complete inability to log in
  • Long passwords are no longer supported
  • If you had a long password before, you're entirely unable to log in
  • TOTP MFA via app has been removed from all user accounts with no notice or explanation
  • You can now change your password without any confirmation or even knowing the old password
  • You can now change your email with no notice or verification to the old email address
  • You can no longer see which keys you've redeemed in your purchases list
  • You can no longer filter by which games/bundles have been redeemed
  • Your games list now displays FIVE games, leading to some users have thousands of pages of unsortable games
  • The order of your games list now seems to actively change randomly while in use, meaning there's no way to comb through them
  • The search function for your owned games/keys is completely broken and always returns zero results
  • It's no longer possible to remove payment details
  • Bulk downloads for book bundles don’t work and right click ”save as” just tries to save an html file.

The list goes an almost uncountable amount of issues, not counting things like the whole site just being clunky and ugly.

It's a huge disappointment to see a platform that was built to help gamers support charity be used to fire a bunch of people and turned into a vehicle for extracting money from customers at any cost.

I won't you what to do about it, but I can say as a security profession I'm removing whatever info I can from their platform and will be extracting my keys if/when the site is functional enough to do so. A huge shame and loss for the gaming industry and all of the charities they've supported over the years.

EDIT: Additional PSA. If you used PayPal with Humble ever, you cannot see it on your account anywhere anymore, but they still have that connection saved. You are able to go find it on PayPal under "Autopay" and remove them (even if you aren't actually subscribing to anything, it can still be in there).

EDIT2: It's possible to cancel your account, thanks to folks who got this link from their support (doesn't seem to be linked anywhere on the site): https://dsar.humblebundle.com/
