Bruce Nesmith says Skyrim's opening quickly sent a message to players about how much freedom they had: about 30% ignored the road to Riverwood after escaping Helgen and headed straight into the wilderness instead. The choice surprised the developers, even though letting players roam from the start was one of the game's design goals.

The ground in the unreleased Miami from the Rockstar leak was coloured in with map screenshots — menu and "Show labels" tickbox included
Plenty has been written about the early map from the Rockstar archive over the past week: it was put together in 2014–2015, and its ground looks like screenshots from a mapping service — Tech4Gamers wrote about it, and TheGamer reported the same. There is almost no vegetation on the map either — that much is visible in the textures we pulled out. VGTimes pulled those textures out and looked at them close up. It turns out the point is not the resemblance: the maps' own menu is still in the ground. -

Portingpete has put together an unofficial native Windows version of The Darkness by translating the Xbox 360 code ahead of time. The game, originally developed by Starbreeze Studios and published by 2K, launched for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2007 and never received an official Windows release; its sequel, The Darkness II, did reach PC. Portingpete released the project on GitHub.

"We're stealing horse semen so the psychopath who scares us doesn't eat us": VGTimes found the reason behind GTA 5's cut heist
The cut GTA 5 heist known as The Sharmoota Job has been public knowledge since 2015: GTA Wiki has a page on it with three approaches and the available crew, and audio from a tour of the mansion has been on YouTube for over a decade. Its targets are just as well known — the safe, the prize horse and the kidnapping of the lady of the house. What we did not find explained in the breakdowns we checked was why the heist needed a horse at all. The answer turned up in a recorded but never released scene, which VGTimes transcribed in the archive of Rockstar source code. -
