GTA VI News: Rockstar Games Insider Speaks About “Project Americas”

Grand Theft Auto VI has been heavily rumored, and everyone is anticipating locations, maps, storyline and praying for some official news or at least a tease from Rockstar Games. However, we haven’t heard anything official – only that there will be a new GTA sometime in the future, as the team has a ton of ideas about it. But that’s all. Well, until now…

The sequel has been rumored to take place in different locations, such as South America or even to return to Vice City. This popular map in the franchise was added in the first GTA game that soon became a standalone game. It even got a prequel four years later: “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City” – 2002, “Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories” – 2006.

GTA VI – Project Americas

An insider from Rockstar Games said to Inside Gaming (YouTube channel) that the sequel title is codenamed “Project Americas,” which could mean that this is the main location where the game will take place.

The term ‘Americas’ point towards the possibility that the game could take place in made-up locations from the US and South America. In other reports, we saw that the US part of the map in GTA 6 would be represented by Vice City, writes EconTimes.

While fans also considered London as a good setting for the GTA 6, Rockstar Games lead writer Dan Houser stated in an interview that a game set in the UK would be awesome, but not something that would be a GTA game:

“I think there are plenty of great stories we could tell about the UK, great environments to showcase, great gameplay mechanics that could have a UK bent to them – I just don’t think it would be a GTA necessarily.”

GTA VI: Release Date

As for when the GTA VI will be released, looking back at the distance between the previous installments, GTA V was launched five years after GTA IV, which means we might see the game being released in 2021 or even later – in 2022. Until then, fans of the franchise can play the online GTA, which keeps getting new content and events.

Last month, Game Spot noticed Rockstar’s job listings showing that they are looking for a team that will create “next-generation worlds for some exciting upcoming projects.” One of the jobs was for a vehicle artist, a MoCap tools developer, and a technical face developer to “help research and develop new technology for future titles.” All of these future titles could mean a GTA VI and probably a Red Dead Redemption 3, which will be just in time for the future PlayStation 5 and next-gen Xbox consoles that should be released in 2020.

Visit Gyms and PokeStops is you need more Pokeballs and other helpful items. You can see them in exciting places such as art installations, museums, monuments, and historical markers.

Bowser Substitutes Nintendo America’s President, Reggie Fils-Aime

Nintendo fans received a very shocking news today. Namely, President of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils-Aime is quitting his job. In his place, there would come Doug Bowser, a fact that created a lot of buzz among Nintendo fans. Bowser is the name of the supervillain, King of Koopas, in the Super Mario Bros. franchise.

In 2003, Fils-Aime joined Nintendo America as the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Later, in 2006, he became the president of Nintendo America. Now, about 13 years from that moment, Reggie Fils-Aime decided to quit his job and retire as he feels satisfied with what he has achieved over these years at Nintendo America.

“Nintendo owns a part of my heart forever. It’s a part that is filled with gratitude – for the incredibly talented people I’ve worked with, for the opportunity to represent such a wonderful brand, and most of all, to feel like a member of the world’s most positive and enduring gamer community. As I look forward to departing in both good health and good humor, this is not game over for me, but instead leveling up to more time with my wife, family, and friends,” said Reggie Fils-Aime.

Bowser Is The President Of Nintendo America, As Reggie Fils-Aime Quitted

Nintendo fans are shocked that a guy name Bowser came in as the new CEO of Nintendo America. Many of them believe that Doug Bowser, who is sharing the same name with the supervillain in the Super Mario Bros. franchise, would put an end to the successful era for Nintendo America which has thrived under the guidance of Reggie Fils-Aime.

But, that’s all a coincidence, of course. Reggie Fils-Aime even said that the best guy to take his place as President of Nintendo America is this one, Doug Bowser. And I believe that Fils-Aime is not making any mistakes. However, Nintendo fans already started joking around about Bowser and how he’ll destroy Super Mario Bros. franchise as he is the supervillain, right? Not going to happen, though.

Pokemon Go To Allow Players To Switch Teams, But Not For Free

Now, approximately two years after it rolled out, Pokemon Go will finally permit players to switch teams. However, that option is not going to be free. Niantic announced that it would add a new item called Team Medallion to the Pokemon Go in-game shop, which would make it possible for the gamers to change their teams once a year.

Pokemon Go To Allow Players To Switch Teams

Team Medallion would go live on February 26th and would cost 1,000 PokeCoins. That’s quite a fair price, overall, since 1,200 PokeCoin cost $10. But choose wisely before using Team Medallion because once you use it, you’ll not be able to buy a new one and change your team again for one year.

After a new player begins playing Pokemon Go, the game would ask him/her to join one of the three teams in the game – Mystic, Instinct, and Valor. These teams are governed by Legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and, respectively, Moltres. Until February 26th, it would be impossible for players to switch sides, but, as soon as Team Medallion goes live, gamers can change their team.

Pokemon Go Also Received The Recently Announced Snapshot AR Photo Mode

In other news, Niantic added the recently announced Pokemon Go Snapshot AR Photo Mode. This one permits players to snap any of the Pokemon monsters they have in storage and share those pics with friends via social media.

Besides, we’ll have another busy weekend in Pokemon Go. Between today, February 22nd, and up till February 25th, Niantic returned the Gen 3 Legendary Pokemon Latias for a special Raid Weekend. Also, on February 23rd, tomorrow, a new Pokemon Go Field Research time-limited event would commence, allowing players to capture Clamperl that comes to Pokemon Go for the first time.

In short, Pokemon Go will finally permit players to switch teams via the new Team Medallion item which would come out on February 26th and would cost 1,000 PokeCoins.

The Sims 4 StrangerVille Game Pack Would Bring Players In The World Of Conspiracies

The Sims 4 StrangerVille game pack is due to roll out next week, on February 26th, and it would bring players in the world of conspiracies, characterized by alien menaces, government secrets, and body snatchers. The upcoming expansion is set in StrangerVille, as its name implies, a desert town where all kind of weird things happens. You’ll have to conduct specific paranormal detective activities and reveal the story of StrangerVille.

With zombies, a secret lab, potential alien menaces, lots of monster-themed outfits, and many conspiracies to unravel, The Sims 4 StrangerVille game pack promises to be a fun expansion in the same spirit of the previous adventure-focused release, Jungle Adventure.

Nonetheless, it seems that unraveling the story of StrangerVille also depends on which characters you play with since military Sims would have access to additional in-game options, while other characters have their unique abilities that the gamers can take advantage of to collect gadgets and use them in StrangerVille to discover more and more secrets.

The Sims 4 StrangerVille Game Pack Would Launch On February 26th

In addition to all that, as Jungle Adventure came out with its particular deadly elements, including cursed relics and jungle plagues, the upcoming The Sims 4 StrangerVille game pack might also bring some specific ways in which the Sims may die. Could be alien abductions or an extraterrestrial virus, who knows, but it would be fun to find out.

However, The Sims 4 StrangerVille is only a short game pack, not a full expansion, so we might not witness some sophisticated happenings such as a global alien invasion or a “zombie apocalypse.” The mode will most likely focus on investigations of the mysteries of StrangerVille that would help players unravel the story of this town.

The Sims 4 StrangerVille game pack would launch on February 26th. We still don’t know much would this small expansion cost, but the previous ones ranged around $20, so we expect this new one to have the same price tag.
