Lots of news this week, however:

Konami insists Hideo Kojima still works at company
343 Industries not ruling out PC port of Halo 5
Rebellion rescues Kickstarter backers from GRIN’s bankruptcy
Classic car combat RPG Autoduel may be making a comeback with inXile
Pete Hines: Entire game not on Fallout 4 PC disc

The Question on the Week: Do you prefer first person or isometric RPGs?

This week’s news includes:

Rumor: Caveman game teased by Ubisoft leaked as Far Cry Primal
Steam Sections coming to major videogame retailers this November
Sony: “Climate is not healthy” for a new PlayStation handheld
LEGO Dimensions outsells Skylanders Superchargers and Disney Infinity 3.0
Fan turns to the crowd for Pokemon PAX party settlement
