Todd Howard made sure the Fallout TV series didn’t include Fallout 5 ideas

Last week saw the exciting new trailer for the upcoming Fallout show. While the adaptation is going to be telling its own story, you may be wondering whether it might touch on Fallout 5‘s possible narrative, even accidentally. However, Todd Howard has made sure that hasn’t happened. In a recent interview with Den of Geek (as spotted by VGC), the show’s executive producer Jonathan Nolan clarified whether the TV series is, to some extent, Fallout 5. Nolan says a conversation between him and Todd discussed the idea of the…

Starfield’s latest patch boasts over 400 fixes

We all know that interest in Starfield has been waning, with an unfortunate decline in people playing Bethesda’s new IP. Still, the developer is determined to keep the metaphorical motor running, and the latest update for the game is now out in Steam Beta. One thing to note about the patch notes is the sheer number of “fixes” that have been implemented. In fact, in a recent post on The-X-Formerly-Known-As-Twitter, version 1.10.30 of Starfield has over 400 things that have been fixed. Bethesda games, amirite? Also, just…

Prime Video’s latest Fallout trailer deftly captures the tone of the games

has released a full trailer for the that's coming to soon. It's our most in-depth look yet at the show and early indications suggest that the creative team has captured the distinct blend of irreverence and violence that helped Bethesda's game series become so successful.The clip focuses on Lucy (Ella Purnell), a young woman who emerges from a fallout bunker into what used to be Los Angeles, 200 years after a nuclear apocalypse. Lucy quickly discovers that life on the surface isn't quite as cushy as staying in a luxury…

Six months later, Starfield’s modding scene has yet to take off

Bethesda Shortly after Starfield released last summer, my initial discussions with friends and colleagues about its future tended to skew positive. Within six months, we hoped, Starfield’s empty cosmos would no longer be quite so empty thanks to the same thriving modding scene that’s made games like The Elder Scroll V: Skyrim so timeless. Regardless of whether or not we were being optimistic at the time, our predictions mostly fell flat. Yes, a decently-sized modding community rapidly emerged in September and has…

Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC may be coming soon

Following its promises of substantial updates and improvements coming to Starfield in 2024, Bethesda has overall been suspiciously quiet on this front. The promised updates are, indeed, dropping in, but there’s been absolutely no news about the announced Shattered Space DLC. Until now, that is. As it currently stands, virtually nothing is known about Starfield: Shattered Space, short of the fact that it’s supposed to be coming… eventually. As this DLC is included as part of the game’s Premium Edition, we do know that the…

Here’s Skyrim on a Steam Deck, controlled by iPods

When the end of the world comes (and it will), I like to imagine that in the midst of all the rubble and chaos, people will still be playing Skyrim. There doesn’t seem to be any way that people won’t tinker with the game and in this instance, we get to see dead technology being revived in order to play TES5. As spotted by PCGamesN, Reddit user nekomichi recently showed that it’s possible to run the game in a Steam Deck (so far so normal) using old iPods as controllers. The clip attached to the post shows it working as…

Finally, a Skyrim mod that lets you match NPC speeds when you follow them

Even though many of us may see Skyrim as one of the greatest RPGs of all time, there’s no denying that it’s a painfully flawed game. We know this, and that’s why modders are always working to make sure Bethesda’s aging epic maintains some degree of relevancy. This mod in particular is pretty simple, but quite effective. As spotted by PC Gamer, Nexus Mods user wSkeever recently uploaded “Simplicity of Stalking – Automatically Follow NPCs.” As the name suggests, this gives you the ability to follow a character in Skyrim…

Here’s your chance to win a Starfield-themed AMD hardware bundle

Since Bethesda announced the studio would be teaming up with AMD prior to Starfield‘s release, the two have barely left each other’s sides. As well as optimizing the game for Team Red’s hardware, there’s now a chance to win some PC hardware from the tech giant that’s themed after the game. In a post on Twitter, Starfield has announced a giveaway, in which one lucky winner can win an AMD bundle. The prizes up for grabs include a Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics card and a Ryzen 7 78003D CPU. Total value of these items:…

Skyrim enemies can now outsmart your cheesy long range attacks with this clever mod

If there’s one thing many of us know about Skyrim, it’s that the NPCs are not the brightest around. Enemy AI is usually pretty easy to manipulate, but this one modder decided that better NPC reactions make for a better experience. Back once again with another of their trademark TES5 improvements, Nexus Mods user JaySerpa has made it so Skyrim enemies are a little bit smarter during fights. If you’re the kind of Dragonborn that likes to cheese bandits and the like, you may have to rethink your approaches from now on.…

Bethesda finally confirms that Hi-Fi Rush is coming to PS5

There's an entire generation of gamers out there who cut their teeth in the old arcades. Standing side by side with your opponent was the only option for real player-versus-player competition back in the day, and the king of the competitive genres was undoubtedly fighting games. The simple premise of two fighters squaring off against each other spawned some of the most popular and successful gaming franchises of all time. To this day, games that once made their debut in arcade cabinets are releasing new sequels for…
