Fallout: New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment ran into a spot of legal trouble over some real-world material folded into the parody-heavy RPG, according to studio and RPG veteran Chris Avellone.Speaking with YouTuber TKs-Mantis, Avellone recalls butting heads with Bethesda over trademarked material which Obsidian evidently didn’t fully account for at the time. This particular discussion begins with a mention of Wild Wasteland, a trait that introduces a range of content and encounters that generally reference other media, from films to older Fallout games.”We got into trouble for some of those things because it wasn’t passed along what some of the…

Saros comes together with a single line: “How does it endure without entropy?” It’s a throwaway comment in reference to alien machinery, but something about that idea permeates through the entirety of Saros, the latest third person bullet-hell shooter and sci-fi roguelike from Housemarque and Sony. How does something important last without breaking down? How does a person cheat death and persevere? And do certain gameplay ideas hold up when…
There is perhaps nothing better in this medium than when a game “feels,” right. When the moves in the player’s arsenal are tied to hyper-responsive controls, matched by clear, dazzling visuals, and an epic soundscape. This is where Housemarque has always excelled.In its latest game, Saros, the Finnish studio pairs that gameplay mastery with a deeply mysterious, unsettling story and a wonderful central performance from Rahul Kohli for one of the most memorable first-party games on the PlayStation 5.Saros is a third-person, rogue-lite shooter. From the same team that brought you the brutal, but beautiful Returnal, Saros takes much of…
It’s been rough going these last few years for Bloodborne fans, with hopes for a remake or remaster repeatedly dashed and, with the recent closure of Demon’s Souls remake studio Bluepoint Games, buried six feet underground. That said, the recently revealed Bloodborne animated movie is a moment to “celebrate a win,” in the words of YouTuber Seán “Jacksepticeye” McLoughlin, who’s producing the flick.The sting of Bluepoint’s closure was made all the more bitter when a report surfaced in February claiming the studio had pitched FromSoftware a Bloodborne remake, but was turned down. The game studio is known for its excellent…

I know I’m not the only one who thought that Stranger Things season 5 was a bit of a disappointment. After 10 years of build-up, and a fairly promising Vol. 1, the show’s final chapter wrapped things up with a lackluster final battle, an overlong epilogue, and a frustratingly ambiguous farewell to Eleven – and, ultimately, dropped the (Magic 8) ball.While it can’t tell us whether Eleven did really sacrifice herself in ‘The Rightside Up’, given that it takes place between seasons 2 and 3, new animated series Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 goes some way to making up for…
The long-awaited Garry’s Mod follow-up, S&box, is finally launching on Steam next week, and developer Facepunch Studios is already making some big promises about the game’s future. The devs previously announced that they’d partnered with Valve to allow games made in S&box to be sold royalty-free on Steam, and they’re taking some well-earned potshots at other platforms driven by user-generated content ahead of launch.”We’re not guided by commercial milestones, we’re not going to do an IPO,” Facepunch says in a press release. “We do this because we love it, we want to give the community the same opportunities we’ve had.…

Diablo 4’s second expansion, Lord of Hatred, is on the horizon, but not everything included will be immediately useful.Aside from the new classes and questline, the Diablo 4 version of the Horadric Cube, first introduced in Diablo 2, is one of the big selling points of the Lord of Hatred DLC. If all goes well, it could shake up endgame itemization in a way that people have been asking for for years. For the uninitiated and in the simplest of terms (I go over it in more detail here), the Cube lets you use items you’d otherwise salvage to upgrade…
Developer American McGee had to learn he was destined for goth greatness at some point, so why not during Quake 2’s development? Somewhere around 30 years ago, he found out he was interested in telling stories through video games in a way his co-workers at id Software didn’t care for, and it eventually led him to create my favorite, graveyard smash Alice games.In response to a clip from his 2000 game American McGee’s Alice on Twitter, the former Doom developer remembers the moment he discovered others at id Software weren’t eager to use the studio’s proprietary Quake engine for “proper…
