Valve is one of the most reputed video game companies in the industry. Having been in the industry for over 25 years, the company is known not only for cult video game series like Half-Life but also for revolutionizing the digital PC software marketplace with Steam.
Fans have asked the video company for Half-Life 3 for a long time. But to no avail. Now, it seems the company is all set to expand its horizons by releasing a 6v6 hero-shooter similar to Overwatch.
Valve’s 6v6 Hero Shooter, Deadlock’s Screenshots Leaked on Social Media No Half-Life 3, seemingly no problem.
Valve is a studio that makes headlines even when it doesn’t develop games for numerous reasons. Deadlock is allegedly an upcoming title being developed by the studio, and news about the game started doing the rounds on X and other social media platforms.

The Fallout video game series is one of Bethesda’s most popular series of post-apocalyptic role-playing video games. The fourth installment in the main series, Fallout 4, is already cited as a great game by many critics as well as gamers. However, now, the game is all set to expand with a fan-made total conversion mod called Fallout: London developed by Team Folon.

Fallout: London is like a Dlc for the game but it is different from other fan projects primarily because of how big it is. In fact, Fallout: London is so big for Nexus Mods that the creators had to approach Gog Ltd. The project is so well-made that many Fallout fans believed that it was an official announcement from Bethesda. Unfortunately, the project was delayed since Bethesda dropped a next-gen update for the game in April.

Seeing how Prime Video’s Fallout is heading full-speed into the Mojave Wasteland for Season 2, countless possibilities are opening up before the showrunners. Mojave is the home of Fallout: New Vegas, one of the franchise’s most popular games, and there are bound to be some points of intersection between the TV show and the video game… Though some ideas are better left untouched.
Fallout S2 Likely to Expand the Ghoul’s Lore
Out of the show’s four main characters, the Ghoul is clearly the most important: he’s the only one whose flashbacks provide us with context of the past 200-something years and thus explain the nature of current events. From Vault-Tec and the Great War to cold fusion and Moldaver, Cooper Howard connected all plot dots together.
Season 2 will most likely keep up the trend of adding Cooper’s flashbacks to support the present-day plotlines, and as a side effect,...

Starfield players on the Xbox Series X are having the worst experience imaginable with a disastrous patch involving the game’s performance and visual quality. The players have been begging for a performance boost since launch, and Bethesda finally delivered with a few caveats.
Despite being the most powerful console of the current generation, it seems like the Xbox Series X is struggling to run first-party titles at a stable rate. This is a gut punch for users who want the best experience but are getting the opposite and that encourages them to jump ship.
The Starfield Update Is Not Helping the Game at All

Fallout 4 has a handful of possible endings, but Prime Video’s new TV show makes only one of them possible — and since Todd Howard claimed the show was canon, it effectively means that we know just how the events in the Commonwealth unfolded. If you think it’s all about the Prydwen, though, you’re greatly mistaken: there’s a lot more going on there, and “the Brotherhood won” is not the correct answer.
The Prydwen Suggests the Brotherhood Won
While many articles argued that the Brotherhood of Steel airship in the Fallout TV show wasn’t the Prydwen, that claim has since been debunked. The one-of-a-kind technological wonder officially remains one-of-a-kind, so its arrival to the West Coast suggests that the Brotherhood of Steel certainly didn’t lose the fight with the Institute.
But that leaves us with two potential canon endings.

One of the best things Prime Video’s Fallout has going for it in the eyes of Og fans is its immaculate attention to detail. The showrunners carefully implemented countless tiny bits of lore in their scenes and added many nods to the original games; while irrelevant for new viewers, their dedication paid off handsomely with the gaming community’s praises. Even Todd Howard was impressed by the show’s faithfulness!
Fallout Boss Didn’t Anticipate Such Level of Detail
Even the most faithful adaptations tend to stick to what’s visible on the screen. It only makes sense, after all: why bother with something no one in the audience will never get a chance to appreciate? But that wasn’t the approach the Fallout team chose. They went all-in, crafting the bits and pieces that were literally never shown to us.

Coming from one of the genius minds behind games like Fallout 3, The Axis Unseen looks like a blend of everything that the creator has experienced in his career. Considering how Nate Purkeypile spent 14 years at Bethesda, it’s natural for his solo effort to include inspirations from the titles that he worked on as the developer’s employee.
Skyrim is one of Bethesda’s most iconic titles, which is something that Purkeypile’s also been a part of, but the Just Purkey founder makes it clear that his horror game has plenty of fresh elements to differentiate it from his previous works.

Upon launch, Starfield was the gaming equivalent of ‘pineapple on pizza’— Everyone hated it. But over time, it amassed a new fan following, as well as winning over its initial player base. While there are still some polarizing opinions on this game, it can’t be denied that Bethesda is keeping up with the trend, i.e., launching a broken game and then working on it over the next few months… Still, they’ve managed to salvage their reputation after the messy splatter Fallout 76 left.
Starfield holds on with lukewarm reviews
And of course, Todd Howard is at the center of it all. Drawing flak for everything that went wrong with this game, Bethesda’s boss had some explaining to do. Stating that it was a bold new IP (their brand new one in about 25 years) with Bethesda trying out ambitious feats, Howard appeared on the Kinda Funny Gamescast to clear the air.

With modern resources, console games are constantly improving in terms of graphics and performance. Consoles like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S allow gamers to run certain games at 120 frames per second, depending on the freedom game developers give players. Unfortunately, there is one studio that is still sticking to the outdated 30 frames per second limit for their upcoming video game: Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II.

Helldivers 2 launched earlier this year to loads of critical and commercial acclaim owing to its simple yet exceedingly fun gameplay loop, fair monetization strategy, constant support and community interaction from developer Arrowhead, and a community that embodied the tenets of teamwork.
It’s not a stretch to say that the game racked up a huge amount of goodwill in the 3 months since it launched, and was projected to remain successful for a long time. However, every bit of that goodwill Arrowhead built up is at risk of collapsing because of a controversial change to the game.

Starfield is a dream come true for Bethesda Game Studios. The developer has crafted several iconic franchises like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls but this new ambitious space title was a passion project for the team. However, the game lacked one key feature for an open-world game.
It is bizarre to believe that Bethesda Game Studios didn’t include a proper interactive map system in the latest title and instead allowed the players to wander aimlessly to let them figure it out for themselves. Fortunately, an upcoming update later this month will remedy the problem and then some.

Ubisoft has had its ups and downs with the Far Cry franchise over the years, with a few games outperforming the others, and some that players even avoid talking about. One particular title that has received mixed feelings from players over the years is Far Cry 2, a game that Clint Hocking might have had a different vision for before it was finally released.
Clint Hocking had a different vision for the game before it came out
For those who do not know, Hocking was also responsible for the development of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell series, which primarily focused on stealth-based missions and just might have been where the director got his experience with the said play style.
What Did Clint Hocking Envision For Ubisoft’s Far Cry 2
Unlike Splinter Cell, the level design in Far Cry 2 does not support pure silent takedowns as the enemies ultimately have better awareness.

The success of the Prime Video live-action series Fallout is one of the more popular moments in the franchise.

Sharing the sentiments of the majority of gamers, Todd Howard praised a game and developer that took the world by storm last year, winning numerous accolades in the process. Not only did the title manage to win the prestigious Game of the Year award at The Game Awards, but it also showcased how much dedication was put into it by the studio. Led by Swen Vincke, the team brought Dungeons and Dragons to the mainstream in a masterful way.

Fallout games have seen a rise in popularity since Prime Video’s TV series was launched last month, and Fallout 3 has also seen some effects from it. One fan has recreated the iconic town of the game, Megaton, in Far Cry 5’s arcade mode, and it may be the best creation seen so far in arcade mode.
The recreation looks amazing in the game, and the fan has managed to stay faithful to the original look of the town. While it is surely exciting to see the town in Ubisoft’s game, it also shows that the renowned publisher has not been able to crack the full potential of the popular franchise.

Starfield is a dream project for Bethesda Game Studios, and the Fallout developers have shed blood, sweat, and tears into developing this ambitious space title. However, the technical drawbacks have overshadowed the game and the studio will be releasing a much-needed update soon.
Patches and updates are common for video games nowadays, and some of them greatly improve the quality of life from a visual standpoint. And now it seems Bethesda is taking a page out of Cyberpunk 2077’s book, making the game look even better than it ever did before.

Starfield is getting a massive free update in a few weeks, which will include a bunch of new stuff like ship interior customization, gameplay and difficult adjustments, and a ton of performance settings for Xbox Series X users.
However, one of the most exciting updates hitting the game isn’t coming in May but is currently being worked on for a future release. Buckle your seatbelts and brace yourselves, because the game is finally going to have vehicles.

Baldur’s Gate 3 was undoubtedly the biggest game launch of 2023, and Larian Studios’ efforts were immortalized when the massive D&d-inspired RPG won the coveted Game of the Year award in 2023, in addition to revitalizing the genre.
The game’s success is simply too huge to ignore, even for Bethesda Game Studios’ director and executive producer Todd Howard, who recently revealed his admiration for Larian. Adding to the list of big names, Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt also jokingly responded to Howard’s comments.

Baldur’s Gate 3 was a title that set the standard for immersive RPGs for the gaming industry with its release in 2023. Baldur’s Gate 3 has won numerous awards at various ceremonies, including the GotY award. It suffices to say that it did wonders for the RPG genre and its developer, Larian Studios.
Hasbro, the company known to make toys, also benefited from the game’s launch due to a deal between Larian and the former’s subsidiary, Wizards of the Coast, known for publishing Dungeons and Dragons. One of the biggest names in the toy market is looking to expand its horizons and bet on the gaming industry’s bright future.

Helldivers 2 is a title that took the industry by storm when it came out and is still going strong as one of the most acclaimed and celebrated live-service titles. The game also receives new and meaningful content, which players often appreciate.
The upcoming wave of new content has been revealed recently, and the game’s next Warbond is the game’s version of traditional Battle Passes in live-service games. The Warbond will remind you of a beloved Intellectual Property that enjoys a cult following.

The leaks on the upcoming Warbond, titled ‘Polar Patriots,’ were shared on Twitter by an account called ‘Helldivers Alerts.’ The leak showed that the upcoming Warbond for Helldivers 2 would feature new outfits for players, which seemed straight out of Star Wars.

The CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios can be found on X engaging in substantial discussions about his game, answering fan queries, and interacting with the gaming community as a person instead of a studio boss.
Another good marker of a healthy mindset is being forthcoming with appreciation where it’s deserved. Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3 was a smash hit in 2023, and when Bethesda’s Todd Howard admitted as much, Pilestedt just wanted to let everyone know the obvious was being restated.

In the past three decades, the Fallout series has successfully cemented its place as one of the most popular post-apocalyptic role-playing video games of all time. Thanks to its massive success, a TV show based on the series was also released on Amazon Prime recently. Since its first game, Fallout (1997), the series has drastically changed but the franchise hasn’t lost its core element, making it very popular among the fans.
So far, fans have got nine Fallout games across many different consoles, and one may assume that their first game would be the shortest in terms of runtime. However, that’s not the case. As for the longest Fallout game, it is only 1/4th of the time it takes to obtain 100% completion of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring. Here, we have ranked every Fallout game depending on the time it takes to complete it:

Bethesda’s Fallout has been in the spotlight all over again ever since the release of the franchise’s live-action adaptation, with the release of a 5th canon release in its video game series remaining imminent at this point. However, Todd Howard, the renowned director of the series has refused to take a suggestion that fans have been trying to deliver the studio ever since it all began.

It has been recommended by the players that the next game, i.e. Fallout 5 should take place somewhere else rather than America as while it is a great experience for the first 4 games, it is about time the studio introduces new premises for the next release.

Fallout was a successful live-action adaptation of a popular video game with the combined efforts of Bethesda Game Studios and Amazon Prime Video. It shattered records and even made short work of popular series like The Boys and Invincible but couldn’t top The Lord of the Rings.
The show was able to pull an impressive 65 million viewers in the first 16 days since the day Prime Video released all of the episodes. Compared to an equally well-budgeted show based on the popular work of author J.R.R Tolkien, it was considerably better and more well-received.
The Fallout Series Is Way Better Than the Lord of the Rings Spinoff The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power had a strong start but failed to capture the fans, unlike Fallout.
Despite having a strong start, the video game adaptation was the second most-watched title on the platform and fell behind The Rings of Power.

If you’ve played the Fallout games, it’s likely you’re aware of how American it can feel. Not only with its setting and cultural aspects but also the philosophies honed by its narrative. As it turns out, Todd Howard pretty much aligns his views with this, keeping aside the feelings of Fallout: London developers.
In an interview, Todd made it very clear that the games are supposed to stick to a cultural approach that is familiar to most of its fans. Now that the TV show is out, this is even more evident. Sorry Fallout: London fans, this one’s gonna sting.
Todd Howard Would Like to Keep Fallout American, and That’s It Todd is pretty clear about the Fallout history (and future).

Breaking the long-standing curse of disappointing video game adaptations, Fallout and The Last of Us have now attained a gold-standard status amongst gamers being delivered faithful small-screen versions of games they pour hours into. This comes after years of inaccurate and shoddy live-actions that have left a stain on the industry, and for viewers and gamers alike.

While we’re still waiting for Resident Evil to give us our favorite Backstreet Boy-looking Leon Kennedy in a perfectly adapted series, and debating whether a triangular…chest is indeed peak Lara Croft, there are some games that deserve another go— Not as a game since they continually bombed, but as a TV show, since their stories can be done a lot more justice.
And while Ubisoft has broken our hearts with a terrible Assassin’s Creed adaptation, there is one more game that is now thought to be long dead.

Fallout has become one of Prime Video’s biggest series ever — according to Prime Video.
The well-reviewed show, based on the video game franchise of the same name, has become the second-most-watched title ever on the Amazon streaming service over its first 16 days of release, the company says. Prime Video says 65 million viewers worldwide have watched at least some of Fallout since its April 10 premiere, putting the show behind only The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power in the streamer’s catalog.
Global audiences have powered a majority of that viewing: More than 60 percent of Fallout’s audience is outside the United States. The (limited) data from Amazon jibes with that from outside sources like Samba TV, Luminate and Reelgood, all of which have tracked a strong start for the series (Nielsen’s streaming data lags by several weeks).

Video-game adaptations are going next level. Amazon says “Fallout” is off to the second-best start for any series on Prime Video ever.
More than 65 million people watched “Fallout” in its first 16 days on the streaming service, per a Prime Video rep. Amazon says that’s second only to the 16-day debut window for “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” back in 2022. Amazon also says “Fallout” is the number 1 title globally on Prime Video in that span, it’s hit number 1 in 170 countries, and more than 60 percent of its audience has come internationally. People in the UK, France, and Brazil especially love it.
The streamer claimed back in 2022 that the debut episode of “Rings of Power” was watched by 25 million people in just 24 hours and by 100 million people overall, but never reported specific figures for a 16-day window. But how many kept watching? A report said only 37 percent of...

That makes it the second most-watched title ever on the platform and the most-watched title since the debut on “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” back in 2022.
Amazon also says the show is its most-watched ever among adults 18-34, with 60% of the show’s audience coming from outside the United States. In particular, the UK, France, and Brazil have all proven to be hubs for the show’s popularity. It should be noted, however, that Amazon has not released any data on how viewers are counted, especially when it comes to completion of the show.

Prime Video’s latest and hottest TV show Fallout is famously set in the popular video game universe of the same name. Thanks to staying faithful to the source material and carefully adding countless references to the games, the new series earned the love of Og and new fans alike. Much of it can be attributed to the long and passionate planning that Jonathan Nolan and Todd Howard’s team did together.
Fallout the TV Show Isn’t an Adaptation
Unlike most live-action movies and TV shows set in animated or video game worlds, Prime Video’s Fallout is no adaptation: it’s a completely standalone story with original characters which exists in the same universe as the Fallout games. During the process of its creation, the series was treated as such, and it led to a great result.

The audience loves Prime Video’s Fallout. It’s engaging and easy to understand for those previously unfamiliar with the setting, but it’s also faithful and carefully crafted enough for Og fans to enjoy without feeling unimmersed. But even despite all its pros, there’s one category of people who seem to have a grudge with the new show.
Some Fallout: New Vegas fans are pretty frustrated with the way Prime Video approached its lore; they claim that the new series overrules the game’s events.
Fallout: New Vegas Is an Iconic Game
The first two Fallout games were isometric and frustratingly old-school for the younger audience. When new developers came around with their fresh approach, the setting became much more popular with the general public; but while the new generation of Fallout is typically associated with Bethesda Softworks, it’s not true.

It’s been over a decade since the launch of Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, and it still rules the minds and hearts of countless fans. The game which was released in 2011 continues to be spoken about highly even in 2024 for multiple reasons. The game was built on Bethesda’s native Creation Engine, which was rebuilt specifically for the game.
Elder Scrolls V Skyrim
It gives players a more unique and diverse open world compared to its predecessors including Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Considered by many as one of the best games ever made, Skyrim received critical acclaim, majorly for its character advancement, world design, visuals, and dual-wielding combat.

It gives players a more unique and diverse open world compared to its predecessors including Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Considered by many as one of the best games ever made, Skyrim received critical acclaim, majorly for its character advancement, world design, visuals, and dual-wielding combat. However, there was another reason, often overlooked, which proves why this game is one of the studio’s best games.

Fallout is the latest game franchise to leap from an interactive format to a linear and straightforward television series. Prime Video has another successful show, as it collaborated with Bethesda and passionate writers.
The secret to its success was that the showrunners behind it were already fans of the source material and knew how to authentically translate it without overdoing it. The writers spoke about the unique experience of doing a game adaptation and what the future holds.
Fallout Writers Almost Overdid It With Season 1
The writers of the Fallout show discussed how they balanced the Easter eggs in the first season.
It can be a daunting task to adapt a beloved franchise to a different format. Fortunately, Prime Video hired Jonah Nolan and his team of writers, who were more than equipped to take on the challenge. The team sat down with TheWrap and shared how the first season...

The Fallout series from Prime Video has been out for nearly two weeks and its popularity amongst fans shows no signs of waning. Its reception has seen a dramatic upturn in players returning to the popular franchise and Fallout 4 especially has been many players go to, following the release of the popular post-apocalyptic series.
With a second season confirmed, many fans are already speculating about what we could expect to see. Given the dramatic ending of the season, we at least know that there will be a new location to look forward to which ties into the franchise and with that climatic ending we get to see the skull of a well-known dangerous wasteland creature.

The Fallout TV series has been out for less than two weeks, and already it is garnering considerable attention from casual viewers and hardcore fans alike. The positive reception of the show is undeniable, and Amazon Prime has already taken its victory lap with the recent announcement that a second season has been greenlit.
Although much can be said for the creative talents of Jonathan Nolan and Todd Howard who worked their magic behind the camera, they cannot take all the credit. Several exceptional actors brought new characters of the franchise to the next level, and it was Moisés Arias who truly stole the show for many. His portrayal of Norm MacLean and the journey taken to discover the secret behind Vault 31 was essential in setting the tone and building tension.
Since the show’s debut, I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Arias about his experience on Fallout.

Amazon Prime Video’s Fallout has been met with rave reviews. With hardcore gamers and newcomers alike itching for a second season soon, a lot is left unanswered by the end of Season 1. Did Vault-Tec really start the nuclear war? Is Shady Sands due for a second reckoning? Why is Hank going to, what looks like, New Vegas? Is Thaddeus a Ghoul? And what was in the serum that the Chicken…ahem… “Lover” gave him?
“Why am I not dead?”- Thaddeus | Fallout
While the show did establish that years of radiation can make you a Ghoul, Thaddeus wasn’t necessarily the right fit for this criteria. Trading the snake oil salesman Maximus’ fusion core has quite clearly done a number on this Brotherhood factioneer. So, if he’s not a Ghoul, what really is he?
