Bethesda announces its first ever Fallout Day broadcast, featuring a look at future plans for Fallout 76 and a community parade

October 23 is coming up, which only means one thing – what’s grown into the Fallout version of May the fourth. It’s the anniversary of series’ world getting a nuclear makeover on that fateful day in 2077, and for the first time, Bethesda’s commemorating the occasion with a broadcast that’ll feature both developers and community folks. While this date’s long been a time when Fallout fans post cool stuff and do a bit of ‘wink,...

A24’s amazing-looking Ochi movie has highlighted the lack of brain cells in the average Twitter post, with AI scaremongering running riot for engagement

Every once in a while, a neat-looking little movie comes along and gets tons of flak for very stupid reasons. Now, it’s A24’s turn to face AI-related criticisms only because Isaiah Saxon‘s The Legend of Ochi looks adorably clean. The movie, which stars Helena Zengel, Finn Wolfhard, Emily Watson, and Willem Dafoe, follows a girl on the run after finding a weird little guy from a rare animal species that’s feared by the local northern...

After Stalker 2 on Xbox Series S felt “impossible,” GSC now thinks any game can reach the console’s memory limits, and PC version is more optimized

Stalker 2 previews are out, as are a selection of interviews with developers at GSC World (our own interview is coming later today, October 17, by the way)! In one such interview, conducted by Windows Central, the devs chipped in on the Xbox Series S, and how working on it convinced them that any game can reach the console’s memory limits. “At first, we thought bringing Stalker 2 to the Xbox Series S might be...

Stalker 2 dev GSC did deal with Xbox after finding Phil Spencer’s email address on Reddit, like you do

Stalker 2‘s been through an interesting development cycle to say the least, one that’s certainly demanded a lot of developer GSC Game World. As it turns out, one of the minor demands that came of the studio in its efforts was a hunt for Xbox boss Phil Spencer’s email address on Reddit. If you’re out of the loop, GSC’s endured a uniquely tough development process as it’s worked on this sequel to the original cult...

Does Venom: The Last Dance tie into Spider-Man 4? Tom Hardy doesn’t want to say anything, but seems happy about the idea

As Venom: The Last Dance nears its October 25 release date, fans are starting to wonder what’s up with Knull as the main villain and whether this iteration of Eddie Brock and the symbiote will ever cross paths with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Meanwhile, Tom Hardy is playing coy but forward. Via Comic Book Movie, we’ve learned about the lead actor’s most recent answer regarding a potential crossover into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (616). Long story...

IO Interactive’s Bond game starring a young and original James is great – but Project 007 must be careful to dodge certain tropes

When Ian Fleming first delivered James Bond to readers in 1953, Agent 007 arrived ready and raring to go. Casino Royale isn’t one of those novels that flitters about trying to slowly layer and build its protagonist into their ultimate form – Bond just already is that. In fact, it’s crucial to the narrative of the novel that Bond is an experienced agent, the best card player in the service, and trusted. To see this...

V.A Proxy is the perfect Steam Next Fest demo for anyone that really wishes we had Nier Automata and Sekiro sequels already

Have you ever seen a game that looks so ridiculously, insatiably cool that you’re filled with such a strong desire to live so that you get to feel even a fraction of what the trailers show you? V.A Proxy is that exact game, and now that I’ve played its Steam Next Fest demo, I am filled with an even stronger urge to play the full thing before I die, because I need to feel...

The Electric State, directed by the Russo Brothers, gets a first trailer ahead of its March 2025 release on Netflix

Netflix might be controlling its spending a little bit now, but is also still looking to put out gigantic blockbusters that rarely hit the big screen. Up next, we have the Russo Brothers’ The Electric State, an adaptation of Simon Stålenhag’s 2018 illustrated novel of the same name. While the Russos’ The Gray Man didn’t resonate with critics nearly as well as everyone would’ve liked, it did well enough views-wise for Netflix, who remains quite...

Life is Strange has grown up with its protagonist in Double Exposure, which makes for a great story, but also a grim reminder of our own lost youth

I’ve now played (courtesy of the early access Ultimate Edition) the first two chapters of Life is Strange: Double Exposure, which sees original protagonist Max Caulfield return to the spotlight for her first full-length game in nearly a decade. The original Life is Strange celebrates its 10th anniversary in January, and while Square Enix hasn’t explicitly associated Max’s reappearance with this upcoming milestone, it feels like it can’t be pure coincidence that they’ve decided to...

Alan Wake 2’s The Lake House DLC is returning to its horror roots on October 22

Today’s Xbox Partner Preview Showcase has shown off a few things, but most notably for horror fans, we finally got a better idea of what to expect from the upcoming Alan Wake 2 DLC, The Lake House. First announced during Sony’s State of Play back in September with a tantalizing teaser trailer that, frankly, didn’t give us much of an idea of the plot or gameplay that players can expect, fans have now been shown...
