GTA 5 YouTuber finally completes three-year pacifist run

After more than three years, YouTuber and Twitch streamer Matthew 'DarkViperAU' Judge has finally completed his notorious pacifist run of Grand Theft Auto 5's story with an impressively low body count.


Started in 2019, DarkViperAU has been on a long and fragmented mission to try and clear the entire GTA 5 story without personally killing any of the games NPCs or enemies unless it was essential for story progression. In a game where criminality and violence is rife, this was always going to be a pretty big undertaking, and while he could use them to test theories, DarkViperAU also banned himself from using any mods to complete missions.


Over the course of 27 episodes spread out across 1,227 days (which apparently condensed over 1,000 hours of gameplay), a combination of stealth, glitches, and strategy has seen DarkViperAU slog through the GTA V story. By avoiding combat where possible, and by using AI controlled allies or even the Los Santos Police Department to do the shooting when gunfights had to take place, he has managed to get through the campaign with a ridiculously low number of personally inflicted casualties.

GTA 6 looks more like Red Dead Redemption 2 than GTA 5

We're just a handful of days on from what is easily the biggest Grand Theft Auto 6 leak yet and Rockstar Games has been hit hard by it. While the developer is undoubtedly "disappointed" with the leak, studio leads believe it won't impact the ongoing development of the title. While this statement has stolen the spotlight in the last 24 hours, we still need to talk about the actual gameplay footage because it makes GTA 6 look more like Red Dead Redemption 2 than GTA 5 - and that's not a bad thing.


It goes without saying that we know that the next GTA game is going to be quite a bit different from Rockstar Games' 1899-set Red Dead Redemption sequel. However, if you look past the unfinished environments and the unpolished graphics (after all, this is still a game in active development) it looks like GTA 6 is going to play much more like the slower open-world western than it does the Los Santos-based sandbox shooter we know and love, and that's because of a thing called RAGE.


RAGE is the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine - something that Rockstar Games has been updating and adapting for well over a decade now, and the game engine that both GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are built on.

The impact of the giant GTA 6 leak: PC Gamer reacts




In the two decades plus I've covered gaming, I'm not sure I can recall a leak more startling than this weekend's dump of 90 videos from a test build of GTA 6. You could make a case for the Half-Life 2 source code leak in 2003, which Valve considered damaging to the tune of $250 million, but I'm not sure much else comes close. In that instance the affect on morale at Valve (though ultimately not the game's critical or commercial reception) was well-documented, so we can imagine how aggrieved Rockstar's developers must be feeling at seeing their unvarnished work stolen and shared...

Warzone 2 leak claims new map's city POI will feel like GTA

Ahead of the upcoming Call of Duty Next showcase which will update fans on the future of the franchise, a fresh batch of Warzone 2 leaks have hit social media, this time via a popular Warzone YouTuber and streamer.


Taking to Twitter, 'Metaphor' dumps a whole load of information on Warzone 2 based on gameplay he has reportedly seen. A lot of this lines up with previously leaked information, but some of it we're hearing about for the first time.


One of the most interesting Warzone 2 leaks being reported by Metaphor is that Warzone's iconic gas storm that closes in around players in the battle royale is being swapped for a dust storm. This could signal the end of gas masks, although a new piece of equipment serving the same, storm-protecting purpose could certainly be introduced in Warzone 2.
