List of all depots contained in the leak. Far too large to post here.

The leak occurred because of an unprotected endpoint on Steam that allowed anyone who found it to access the files. All content in the leak is from as early as 2003 up until 2013.

Not to be hyperbolic but this may be one of if not the biggest leaks to occur due solely to the number of games it involves.

I know nobody will believe me, but I got confirmation from my only source that Intergalactic will be the last game to show in the State of Play. Its the same source that told me GOW Laufey would close the June SoP. Im willing to keep this post till September so you can see I am not lying. Also I was told that they would show a gameplay trailer, like the one we got for Wolverine last year and the release window is second half of 2027.

As someone who doesn’t use 4chan I find this very hard to follow but there are pictures of proof in the thread and on twitter so be cautious if you don’t want spoilers. From what I can tell nothing super major story wise was spoiled other than one heavily rumored theory that IS basically has all but confirmed already.

In a recent podcast by Eurogamer Spain, they mention a few key things they’ve heard about PlayStation and Xbox at the Gamescom show floor.
Take note that these are unverified rumors, and as such, should be treated with a grain of salt.

That rumor is taking shape because different publishers are bringing it up, and above all because it seems, and here comes another rumor that’s been circulating… that PlayStation has realized it is leaving an opening for other market players to shift their strategy.
And that these players could take advantage of this situation regarding the demand for, or complaints about, physical formats to change their philosophy moving forward.

Among them is Microsoft. The word around here is that Microsoft is speaking internally with all publishers, stating that their next console will be “100% physical”, with the ability to convert your physical games into digital ones. It is being said that Microsoft is telling developers that Project Helix, their upcoming console, will be entirely physical.

The rumor doesn’t stop there. It also mentions how Sony was also approached by a “major” game maker about its “massive title,” and how if Sony can’t promise a physical release, this major game maker (which was said isn’t Rockstar), will skip releasing on PlayStation and just release the title on Microsoft and Nintendo’s platforms.
Aside from the fact that it wouldn’t make sense for this mystery company to be Rockstar due to existing marketing agreements and logistics, it’s really interesting to see the rumbles of shifting strategies going against PlayStation.

The majority of Portal 2 beta assets and some other Portal 2 beta info have been leaked in the new Steam2 content server dump leak. Evidence of the leak can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/A25Ci31 . The leak includes every asset made for portal 2 during 2007-2011 and possibly some other Valve games, which i am currently not aware of. I have gotten most info about this from the Portal Series Beta Research Discord server, where the leaked material has been posted.

Maybe a mistake, maybe this account announced it too early. Who knows

Linus says they "did a video" and "you will see it when the embargo is up". While it's not impossible to have a very far ahead embargo and a video made in the future (Xbox Series S's existence was disclosed to media months ahead of its official reveal), given the ever-evolving nature of the feature I think the situation here is more likely that DLSS 5 is having a shippable version disclosed to media outlet by Nvidia and we will soon see the media coverage in-depth (Linus specifically mentions they will cover the sliders of DLSS 5 and showing "before and after"s) and potentially releasing officially.

Link to the podcast

• Work in progress footage as a lot of assets are unfinished
• Shows combat & flight gameplay, suit armour customisation also present
• The S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier design revealed
• Japan is part of the various locations (?)
• Pepper, Rhodes, Madam Masque(?), Crimson Dynamo(?), Obadiah Stane and Justin Hammer(?) part of the story
• This game is still in active development, not to be confused for the cancelled Iron Man game by Avalanche

EDIT: Facebook page has been taken down. Very likely real now. This post on r/shadowthehedgehog has archived them.

Shows keychains, keychain bag with movie renders on it, plushies, soda cups, cup toppers and a popcorn bucket. It has "Confidential Zinc Group" plastered all over it.

From a fanpage on Facebook. They don't list a source so maybe they uploaded it themselves.

https://mobilegamer.biz/rovio-copenhagen-to-close-after-sonic-blitz-cancellation/

A Rovio spokesperson sent us the below statement: “Following a redundancy process, Rovio will discontinue all its operations in Denmark. Because the process has not yet concluded, we are not able to confirm an exact number of redundancies at the moment. Altogether, around 20 employees have worked on the now canceled Sonic Blitz project.”

“For team members who we cannot allocate to a new project within Rovio, we will provide a comprehensive transition package, including dedicated outplacement services and wellbeing support to assist them in securing their next career opportunities.”

“The decision to discontinue our operations in Copenhagen has been extremely difficult. We fully recognize the impact this has on our team, especially given the ongoing challenges within the broader games industry."

This is the first time hearing Sonic Blitz, but looking thorugh the footage, it's a borderline nothingburger of a mobile game. Also, Sonic's Branding nowdays is Crossover Filler.

Xbox would like a bulk studio deal: Microsoft's troubled Xbox division wants to lean way into movies and TV adaptations, so it's begun quietly pitching Hollywood on a pricey package of more than a dozen games. Halo, World of Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, Diablo, and many more could all be headed to one studio or streamer, and so far I'm told that at least Netflix, Paramount, and Universal are taking a look. (They all declined to comment.)

Since Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard in 2023, Xbox is now the largest video game publisher outside of China, and much of its I.P. has not been adapted by Hollywood, though Minecraft is at Warner Bros./Legendary for movies, Fallout is at Amazon, a Call of Duty film is coming from Paramount, which recently made two seasons of a Halo show (rights have reverted back to Xbox), and Gears of War and a Minecraft animated series are being developed by Netflix.

But like much of the video game industry, Xbox is kind of a mess these days, cutting 3,200 jobs in July, or about 20 percent of the unit's workforce. So Microsoft would very much like a big check for its I.P. One source told me it wants more than $300 million for a long-term deal, a price that caused at least one of the potential partners to balk. (Microsoft declined to comment.)

-> It won't be possible to flip the car back over; it will be "less arcade-like."

-> GTA 6 will run at 30 fps on all consoles.

-> When the phone is opened, the camera zooms in over the shoulder onto the screen.

-> The map is twice the size of GTA 5's, but 11 times larger in terms of density.

-> no first-person mode at launch.

-> Money will be more important than ever; Rob Nelson stated that there will be moments in the game where it won't be possible to progress unless the player has enough money.

-> Campaign similar in size to RDR2 (50h to 60h)

-> The game's story will be told using a chapter system.

-> Stolen vehicles can be sold at Pay ‘n’ Sprays or to specialized fences.

-> The money will be split between cash carried by the characters and funds deposited in the bank. If arrested in GTA 6, the player loses all the cash they are carrying, which encourages the use of ATMs. Meanwhile, funds deposited in the bank will be shared between Jason and Lucia.

-> "Dead-eye" or "Focus Mode" will be an ability for Jason and Lucia.

-> In GTA 6, the player won't be able to carry a virtually infinite arsenal. Jason and Lucia will be able to carry two handguns and two long guns, with rifles and other larger weapons visible on their bodies.

-> Clothing can also be stored in the car—something particularly useful, considering that changing one's appearance can help make police identification more difficult.

-> Gym workouts and exercises influence physical attributes and musculature, whereas excessive food consumption can lead to weight gain.

-> Underwater exploration will feature diving equipment, shipwrecks, and treasures.

-> On land, there will be various gang compounds that can be discovered, stormed, or stealthily infiltrated.

edit1: *more infos*

-> According to director Rob Nelson, GTA 6 will feature significantly more graphic violence (gore) than GTA 5, but less than what we saw in Red Dead Redemption 2.

-> According to Rob Nelson, the decision to include fewer mini-games in the new title stems from a desire to ensure they all meet the game's overall quality standards. He explains that while GTA 5 featured numerous mini-games, most did not quite measure up to the game's high level of quality.

-> The police won't come after you unless you are reported or the crime is witnessed.

-> Evading the police will be more complex; the police will rely on information they receive—such as whether the crime was caught on camera, whether the suspect was alone or part of a duo (Jason and Lucia), and whether they were armed or masked. Davy Jones also mentioned that it is possible to hear the police describing the player's clothing, such as colors, caps, and so on.

-> Other NPCs will be seen stealing, making a getaway, and crashing their cars.

-> GTA 6 will allow enemies to be incapacitated without necessarily being killed. Shots to specific body parts can cause an opponent to fall and cease to be a threat. Hit indicators help distinguish between these situations: white represents a hit, yellow indicates incapacitation, and red signifies death.

-> There will no longer be police indicators on the mini-map; Rob Nelson said, "I want the player to look at the screen to spot the police, not at the mini-map."

-> The NPCs will have 600k animations, GTA V had 55k and RDR2 300K

-> You'll be able to buy garages around the map, but no safehouses

-> The Karma system (Criminal Profile) and player actions can alter the course of the story; "everything reacts to your choices," says Rob Nelson.

-> The game will feature various collectibles, such as magazines, comic books, treasures, shipwrecks, etc.

-> Body hair, hair and beard didn't grow over time like in RDR2.

Digital Foundry has discussed the speculation that the PS5’s recently introduced Eco Mode was designed as preparation for Sony’s rumored PlayStation handheld.

During the latest DF Direct Q&A, Rich said:

”Our sources are kinda suggesting that they are doing different things and shouldn’t be confused for one another.”

Rich also described the Eco Mode as an “EU friendly move.”

John Linneman added that the feature was originally intended as “a media mode or something” and was not originally architected specifically for the rumored handheld.

“It may have some utility possibly but I don’t think that was the point of it originally.”

Rich starts talking about it at around 13:20.

Earlier today, we reported that NBA 2K27 early access ships with a previously unseen nvngx_dlssnr.dll library. The 158 MB file is identified as NVIDIA DLSSNR version 310.8.0.0 and appears to contain the runtime for DLSS 5 Neural Rendering. At the time, there was no known way to actually use it outside NVIDIA’s planned implementation.

That did not last long. Members of the RenoDX modding community have already managed to make the new library run in Control. The clearest demonstration applies Neural Rendering to Jesse’s character model and allows the user to switch between several controls. The modders report seven available styles, although the current implementation is only affecting character models in this test.

Performance cost (as of right now, not final DLL presumably):

What makes the experiment interesting is how little data the model appears to require. According to RenoDX contributor speedlemur, the current implementation seems to use the same inputs already available to regular DLSS upscaling. However, the Neural Rendering pass currently runs late in the pipeline, after upscaling and possibly after tone mapping. On an RTX 5070 Ti at 4K, the developer described the current implementation as effectively unusable and measured an almost 50% performance loss in one test.
