Fans Solve One of GTA 5’s Biggest Mysteries
An elite team of Grand Theft Auto V players have resolved a major mystery.
The hunt began with the discovery of the golden peyote plant – a hallucinogenic herb that transforms the player into Bigfoot. Then, in search of more of the hidden herb, players took to combing through the game’s code in the hopes of finding more spawn locations.
And more locations they did find. Not only did the players find coordinates, they also found coded messages from the developers at RockStar. One such message reads “he was wrong to start his hunt on Tuesday.”
What the herb-hunting taskforce deduced was each plant must appear on a specific day of the week, under specific weather conditions. With one golden peyote found, this left the team only another six to go.

Overwatch Becomes Korea’s Most Popular Internet Cafe Game
Overwatch is now the biggest game in South Korean internet cafes.

The biggest story leading up to E3 2016, and of the show itself, was the existence of new hardware from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo that will be released over the course of the next year. As the video game industry shifts to a new business model where consoles will be refreshed at a much faster pace, the Associated Press spoke to Microsoft, GTA publisher Take-Two, and Nintendo for insight on what this means for the future.
At E3 Microsoft unveiled Project Scorpio, a stronger version of the company’s Xbox One coming in 2017, alongside the Xbox One S, a redesign of its existing system that adds 4K video output. "We're trying to shift the culture and put the power of when to upgrade in the hands of gamers, as opposed to it being driven by technology or a corporate initiative," said Shannon Loftis, head of publishing at Microsoft Game Studios, told the AP in an interview. "I hope that we don't frustrate gamers. We're responding to them. The feedback we've received is that they want more choices."
