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…

If you ask people, “What’s your go-to nuclear post-apocalyptic story?” Most will probably say Fallout; the action role-playing franchise that has been around for more than two decades and is now considered one of the most influential game series of all time. Fallout is one of those massively successful and recognizable names that had very humble beginnings. It may not be as dramatic a tale as two broke programmers grinding in sweat and tears, day and night, to come up with an era-defining masterpiece, but that first game…

Cheat codes have somewhat become a thing of the past in modern gaming, with mods coming in to take their place. Most Bethesda games, such as Starfield and Fallout 4, enjoy plenty of mod support, but also have plenty of ways you can tweak the game using some old-fashioned cheats and console commands. Even as big as Fallout 4 is, it has shown its age at this point, so why not try out a few cheats to keep things exciting in the wasteland? Here are all the cheats and console commands you can use, and how to activate…

Man, have I been writing a lot of Fallout articles lately! Ah, well. One more won’t hurt. This time, however, it’s not about the main games, but about one of the most ambitious mods for Fallout 4, which is still on track for an April release. In the latest progress video from developer Team FOLON, Fallout: London gives us one last look at some of what we can expect from the UK-centric add-on. Specifically, there’s some clarification at the start regarding the use of the word “cells” in a previous video.…

The TV adaptation of Fallout is due to air on April 12. To celebrate this – and because you need more Fallout in your life – Bethesda is launching an anthology of all the games in the series. The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. (my word, is that a pain to type out!) Anthology set is launching April 11 and comes with a total of seven games. You’ll get Fallouts 1-4, New Vegas, 76, and even the 2001 release Tactics. To cap it off, the set will arrive in a mini-nuke that makes an “audible bomb” sound when you open it. I can’t see how…

It’s been a long time coming, but the ambitious Fallout London mod is on the horizon. The bad news is that the team has been unable to meet its intended 2023 deadline. The good news, however, is that the fan-made Fallout 4 project is just a few months away from release. In the latest dev video diary, narrator and voice actor Drew Faithwaite has given the skinny on where things are at with Fallout London. As of now, the project is pretty much complete, save for some testing. After all the hard work and dedication,…

The impressive-looking Fallout: London mod for a couple of years, and now the fan-made adventure of April 23. The development team says the game's already finished, but it requires these last few months for testing, This is a “DLC-sized mod” for Bethesda’s Fallout 4, so it was built from the bones of the 2015 sequel. As you can guess, it gives players free rein over a post-apocalyptic London. The release date trailer shows iconic locations like Big Ben, Shakespeare's Globe and Trafalgar Square, among others. Of course,…

Anybody remember when Bethesda said we could expect a PS5 and Xbox Series upgrade of Fallout 4 sometime in the future? It’s understandable if you’ve forgotten. It was kind of brushed to the side, but now the studio has a (sort of) update. In a recent post on the official Twitter account, Bethesda has thanked fans for their patience in waiting for the Fallout 4 next-gen update. However, the developer says it needs “a bit more time” so don’t expect it any day now. Thank you for your patience with us as we work on the…

If you’ve been crowding around your gaming console waiting for the long-promised “next-gen” patch for Fallout 4, you still have a ways to go. Bethesda just announced that the update has been pushed to 2024, after being promised for this year. There has been no information given as to what part of the year the patch would release, though developers have stated they just need “a bit more time.”The “next-gen” patch is really a current-gen update, as it's being developed for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. However, Fallout 4 did…

It’s never been a better time to be a multiplayer gamer, with fantastic titles such as Fortnite, GTA Online, and Call of Duty: Warzone taking the industry by storm. However, the same can be said about single-player experiences, especially in recent years thanks to the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Dedicated single-player games are some of the richest, most beloved experiences in the medium, and in this list, we’ll go through the very best. These are the best single-player games.…
