One of the most interesting things happening with Fallout right now, as we close out what’s been a very newsworthy year for the franchise, is Fallout 76 taking a crack at letting players turn their wasteland wanderers into ghouls for the first time. It’s something Fallout fans have been asking about for years, and it’s been implemented in an interesting way that involves sometimes letting you glow bright green. Speaking of green things in Fallout,...

The generous teaser trailer for Superman, written and directed by James Gunn, has finally arrived, and you can bet that everyone has strong opinions about it, good and bad. Here’s a quick rundown of the current buzz online. As far as first looks go, this one, from my personal point of view, feels quite classical and uplifting. It’s also the rare sort of trailer that doesn’t reveal a lot about the actual plot and character...

Since Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead deployed the opening bit of the game’s Killzone crossover, the prices players are being asked to pay for this new stuff have been causing some serious backlash. Now, after working to respond to unhappy players, the studio’s made the decision to give away the gear coming as second part of the collab for free. As we reported yesterday, the big bugbear players have about this Killzone gear is the fact...

2024 was a big year for folk with a never-ending affinity towards all things survival-horror, largely due to the fact that the Silent Hill 2 Remake finally released. A game that, after its initial announcement, I was truly dreading. I love Silent Hill 2, so much, and for the longest time, all I ever really wanted was for the original trio of games to be ported to modern platforms exactly as they are. Nothing more,...

Just before we all check out of 2024 and prepare for the new year, Capcom hosted one final community update to address pretty much all the major topics the recent beta of Monster Hunter Wilds generated. The livestream touched on a number of key topics, including some that have caused some controversies amongst the Monster Hunter community. It was full of good news, and even the promise of another chance with the beta. To see...

It’s been easy to forget that Helldivers 2 has still had an Illuminate invasion going on over the past couple of days, as everyone’s been distracted by the pricing backlash against the game’s Killzone crossover gear. But, the aliens are still doing their thing in-game, and the next step in their warpath could delay yopu getting your hands on a new ride. Remember the Omens of Tyranny update’s announcement mentioning Helldivers 2’s first driveable car,...

Yep, it’s time to talk about video game boxes again. And the future. I know, I’m scared too. Anyway, a reasrach firm has had a go aty predicting what the next generation of console hardware will look like, and its verdict is this – one of PlayStation and Xbox will be able to achieve the kind of success it craves by avoiding landing in third place, while Nintendo’ll be just fine. This is according to...

While the core ARPG community may be busy arguing the merits of Path of Exile 2 right now; how challenging (and sometimes downright unfair) it can be, and how much it is and isn’t like Diablo, casual players likely don’t care much about all that. What may turn their heads, however – at least, the way Blizzard sees it, is a chance to play Diablo 4 for free while everyone is off for the holidays....

Ubisoft’s done it again. Here’s a new weird NFT game that’s been released with close to zero fanfare by the publisher. This one’s got Rayman in it, and is based on a thing that’s inspired by Far Cry 3’s fun Blood Dragon expansion, if you can believe that. As you may be aware, this isn’t the first time Ubisoft’s pretty much stealth-dropped a weird NFT/Web3 game this year – there was Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles...

The second series of Amazon’s Fallout TV show has already commenced filming, and even if we’ve still likely got plenty of time to wait until we see what Lucy, Maximus and The Ghoul get up to in New Vegas, that doesn’t mean people aren’t excited. It’ll no doubt be a boon for Fallout games too, with the first series having brought players to the likes of Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 in droves, as the...
