As we approach the halfway point of Brokevember, TheGamer has tons of big games to talk about. This week has been no different, with big releases like Animal Crossing’s Happy Home Paradise and the remastered GTA Trilogy inspiring some of this week’s highlighted features.

We’ve also had more Pokemon features – because of course we have – a deep-dive into Battlefield 2042’s disappointing new mode, and a speculative piece on how Obsidian might be able to take on The Elder Scrolls with Avowed. Get your pitchforks ready, it’s time for some opinions.

Interview: Rockstar On Remastering Its Classic 3D GTA Games For A New Generation

For our first spotlighted article this week, we’ve got features editor Andy Kelly interviewing Rockstar about the recently released GTA Trilogy – Definitive Edition. The piece sees Rockstar producer Rich Rosado discuss the process of remastering a set of games that are so distinct in many gamer’s minds and figuring out how to bring them into the modern era, with Rosado revealing during the interview that “one of the first choices we made for these remasters was to leave them intact.”

Pokemon Has An Amazing Community

This week, Pokemon king and lead features editor Cian Maher took a break from 3,000-word think pieces on Arceus and wrote about one of the biggest strengths of the series – its community. After going on the Sword & Shield Subreddit to look for help in trading a Grookey, Cian almost instantly found another player to trade with and managed to collect all of the game’s Pokemon because of it. With so many negative gaming communities out there, it’s nice to see one that’s as wholesome as its subject matter.

Obsidian Is Taking On The Elder Scrolls With Its Next Big RPG, And It Might Just Win

Next up, features editor Andy Kelly makes a second appearance with a piece on Avowed, and how Obsidian might be able to take down the Elder Scrolls – or at the very least, give it a good run for its money. Andy argues that Obsidian are top of the class when it comes to making deep role-playing experiences and that presenting the Pillars of Eternity world through a more approachable open-world RPG could open gamers up to a world of RPGs beyond The Elder Scrolls.

Restarting My Animal Crossing Island Was A Huge Mistake

Jumping back into Animal Crossing has been an exciting prospect for many after the release of the 2.0 update, but features editor Jade King has had a very different experience after being forced to reset her island. Not to spoil anything, but this was a big mistake. Jade had to make a new island after swapping to the Switch OLED, but has quickly realised how much work the first few weeks of creating an Animal Crossing island is. Although it’s a painful loss, restarting is a nice reminder of why New Horizons was so special when it first released.

Battlefield 2042’s Hazard Zone Is Escape From Tarkov, But Terrible

Finally, we have one of our guides team Harry Alston discussing Battlefield 2042’s new Hazard Zone mode, which he describes as like Escape From Tarkov, but terrible. According to Harry’s time with it, Hazard Zone fails to have the same amount of tension as its inspiration, removing pretty much any consequence for dying. It’s also filled with wildly inconsistent AI players that help scrub away any fun the mode might have. As Harry points out – Hazard Zone is destined to go the way of Firestorm. What, you don’t remember it? Exactly.
