Call of Duty Black Ops 7 has been added to the Game UI Database!... but with no UI. Instead, the page redirects to an article about the game's use of AI-generated icons and banners.
Much respect to the UI team, you don't deserve to be associated with this. Shame on Activision.

Hiya, thanks for submitting! โ˜บ๏ธ Unfortunately there's quite a large backlog, so it might take a little while. I'll try to get those up soon!

The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6
YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Picked up two slightly unnecessary but very cool purchases at EGX yesterday: the Japanese versions of Super Smash Bros and Pilotwings 64!

By the way! Just incase you haven't noticed, the Game UI Database has been busier than ever lately. I'm now updating it every Sunday-Friday for the forseeable future, with Game UI references from both classic games and brand new releases!

I rarely post early versions of games to the Game UI Database, but from the moment I saw the UI for Marvel Tลkon: Fighting Souls, I knew I had to break the rules.
I don't think I've ever seen an interface take inspiration from comic book templates before!

I can't believe I only just noticed this, but the Teal & Pink colour scheme seen throughout Donkey Kong Bananza's UI is actually a reference to the colour palette of the first level from the original Donkey Kong!!

This is the best article Iโ€™ve read that perfectly sums up how I feel about Gen AI, and I urge you all to read it.

'I am more than a critic: I am a hater. I'm not here to make a careful comprehensive argument, I am here to be rude. Because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response.'

Theyโ€™re so jealous you can write.
Theyโ€™re so jealous you can draw.
Theyโ€™re so jealous you can make music.

They have all the money in the world, but theyโ€™ve been driven insane because they donโ€™t have your joy.
