Hi there, it\u2019s me, Zack, your tired but still kicking Kotaku writer in charge of handling Morning Checkpoint while Ethan is out doing stuff at GDC. Today, we have news about a leaked PlayStation-themed Lego set, a look at some awful guides built using AI, and we hear from a former God of War writer who says the sex mini-games should return in the remake.\u00a0It\u2019s the latest edition of Morning Checkpoint,\u00a0Kotaku\u2018s daily roundup of gaming news, rumors, and culture. And before we go any further, I saw this image of Donkey Kong without fur today, and it made me sad. Now I share it with you because I don\u2019t want to be alone in my suffering<\/a>. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

God of War sex mini-games were \u201clargely worked on by women\u201d <\/p>\n

As reported by Eurogamer<\/a>, God of War Ragnar\u00f6k writer Alanah Pearce recently said in a livestream that the controversial and infamous sex scene mini-games in the older God of War games were \u201clargely worked on by women\u201d and should return in the previously announced remakes<\/a>. She worked with one of the women who helped develop the older games and the sex scenes. According to Pearce, the dev was \u201cvery proud of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, when you walk into, I think it\u2019s Aphrodite\u2019s chamber, this was designed\u2014again, including a group of women\u2014to look like a labia. Like, it\u2019s literally designed to be evocative of a vagina. And the women were the ones who did that,\u201d claimed Pearce. \u201cWhen you look at it, it makes sense, but I feel like a lot of people didn\u2019t notice that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pearce says that the God of War sex mini-games should be included in the remakes, adding that while the scenes are \u201ca little silly,\u201d they still \u201cbelong\u201d in the games. She also doesn\u2019t find them \u201cdisrespectful to women\u201d and instead feels that they tell you a lot about who Kratos is as a character and a person at that point in the franchise. Kotaku\u2019s own Kenneth Shepard agrees.<\/a><\/p>\n

Lego OG PlayStation Console Set Leaks <\/p>\n

Lego and Sony are supposedly working on a PlayStation 1 Lego set, according to Lego leaker lego_minecraft_goat on Instagram. According to the insider, the PS1 set will cost $160 and will include 1,911 pieces. The set is reportedly arriving in December.<\/p>\n

Fortnite\u2019s original mode will finally be free next month <\/p>\n

Today, Fortnite is a popular battle royale game (as well as a rhythm game, a racing game, a Lego-themed survival game, and more). But that wasn\u2019t always the plan. It originally launched in Early Access as a survival crafting game built around loot and fighting off waves of zombies. When the battle royale mode blew up in 2017, the original game was rebranded as Save the World and has seen updates here and there. Now, this part of Fortnite is finally going free-to-play in April.<\/p>\n

Amazon is flooded with AI-generated guideslop <\/p>\n

AI-generated slop is infecting and ruining more and more of our world. That includes video game guides, which are still a thing sold on Amazon. However, as reported by Aftermath, many of these guides for games like Resident Evil Requiem and Pokopia are AI-generated and filled with incorrect information and missing details.<\/p>\n

People who have ordered these physical guides report that they often contain no images and are just allegedly AI-generated or plagiarized text. In some instances, the guidebooks reportedly stop abruptly because the AI ran out of information due to embargos preventing sites from posting info about a game past a certain point. Welcome to the future, it sucks so much.<\/p>\n
