Few franchises in all of video games have an as large, passionate and loyal fanbase as the Fallout franchise. Considered by many to be the greatest game in the series, fans of Fallout: New Vegas are still working hard to keep the game relevant and thriving. The creators of the highly anticipated Fallout: The Frontier mod have put in countless hours of work and enlisted the help of a staggering amount of the fanbase to help finally bring this unofficial expansion to life....

Popular Fallout 4 companion and robotic handyman Codsworth receives an update, learning over 300 additional names that he is capable of speaking aloud in conversation. One of the more exciting features that Fallout 4 brought to the franchise was the fact that the protagonist’s robot butler Codsworth knew hundreds of names and could use them seamlessly in conversation, something that required a lot of extra voice work for the talented Stephen Russell....

Ever wanted to combine the worlds of Five Nights at Freddy’s and Fallout? It might seem like a chalk-and-cheese combination, but one modder has taken their fandom for both series to the next level by releasing a Fallout: New Vegas mod that does just that. Projects like this often dodge difficult questions of how and why two franchises would be mashed up in such a way — even the recent crossover between Sonic the Hedgehog and Angry Birds raised some suspicions among fans....

A modder uses DOOM’s SnapMap level editor to recreate most of the King’s Fall raid from Destiny: The Taken King, resulting in a impressive version for players to check out. Destiny’s latest raid, King’s Fall, debuted last fall with The Taken King expansion. It is Destiny’s biggest and most complex raid to date. So it’s very impressive that a modder was able to recreate a good portion of King’s Fall using DOOM’s SnapMap level editor....

You’ll have to languish in F2 for a few races, but once you’ve played through this in F1 2019’s career mode, you’ll have a big decision to make. There are a number of reasons sport-based video games are so popular. One of the main ones is because fans enjoy nothing more than being able to feel as if they are part of the clubs and franchises they follow. Annoyingly, only a tiny percentage of us will ever know what it’s like to be the real thing, so we have to rely on games to let us experience it....

In a choice-based game like Detroit: Become Human, every decision taken by the player is important. With a multitude of outcomes available and even the smallest of mistakes able to make everything crumble in the long run, the game doesn’t exactly make it easy to keep everyone alive for a good ending. To get the best ending, everyone from the core group of people needs to stay alive. This includes every major character in Markus’, Kara’s, and Connor’s storylines....

Half a year ago, Sony finally introduced cross-platform play to the PS4, after years of refusing to give in to public demand. Currently, only a handful of games including Fortnite and Rocket League support the feature, which led to some game developers accusing Sony of playing favorites among game creators. Dave Bars, founder of BARS Studios whose game called SHiRO 011 recently entered early access on Steam, sympathized with Sony stating that it is understandable from a business perspective that the studio is reluctant to fully enable PS4 cross-play because it doesn’t want to share its player base to its competitors....

In 2019, a trailer for Diablo IV, featuring Lilith as the main antagonist, was released. Lilith is the ‘Queen of Succubi,’ a character who’s been in the Diablo lore for a long time, but the game’s main plots haven’t revolved around her until now. The game doesn’t have a solid release date (except that it won’t come out this year…), but the excitement is palpable. In the meantime, fans are waiting for the remaster of Diablo II....

Developers at ZA/UM studio continue to praise Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, which is a definitive edition of the instant-classic detective RPG, coming to PC and console in a few days. According to the team, The Final Cut is much closer to their original vision of the game and even feels like “going from a black-and-white movie to full color.” Prior to the release of an extended version of Disco Elysium, the developers spoke to GameSpot about the strongest features of The Final Cut....

On January 6, supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol during a joint session of Congress that was to certify the Electoral College vote in President-elect Joe Biden’s favor. During the chaos — in which congressional leaders were evacuated, improvised explosive devices were planted, and rioting occurred — a symbol from the Dishonored series could be spotted in amid the carnage. One of the participants sported an Outsider’s Mark from Dishonored on his left hand....

The Division 2’s raid, Operation Dark Hours, is live and players are already burning through its challenges and earning the loot within. One such reward is the new Eagle Bearer Assault Rifle, an Exotic-rarity weapon that’s bound to be a popular choice within The Division 2’s endgame. But the Eagle Bearer isn’t going to be an easy weapon to acquire, at least not for everyone. Those hunting for the Exotic would best prepare for what’s involved....

DJMAX Respect V is out on PC via Steam next week, so get your headphones ready. Where did rhythm games go? To your phones, mostly. The era of Rock Band and Guitar Hero slowly faded away to be replaced by a mobile era of tapping to your tunes. Mostly electronica and house club beats, but that’s just a sign of the times. Now it’s time to return to the club. DJMAX Respect V might not have you reliving your rock band fantasies, but it will make you believe in becoming a hit DJ practically overnight....

Ever since the adult animated science fiction sitcom first aired on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim programming block in 2013, Rick and Morty has been a hit with viewers. Winning a swathe of awards and earning Cartoon Network some of its highest ratings in years, the hilarious misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick Sanchez and his gormless grandson Morty Smith has gained a fan following unlike any other. Whether demanding McDonald’s gives them a special supply of Szechuan sauce, or shouting “I’m Pickle Rick!...

One of the benefits of a service like Google Stadia or Microsoft’s Project xCloud is that you can game on basically any mobile device imaginable. Don’t own the specific console needed for a game? That’s not a problem in our crazy digital future. Just grab whatever old mobile device you want, pair a gamepad, and start gaming. Thing is, it looks like anyone with an Apple device won’t be able to join in on that fun....

An official website for Double Dragon 4 emerges online, confirming several features including Story, Duel and Tower Modes, as well as Share Play on PS4. Earlier this month Arc System Works, current owners of the Double Dragon property, announced plans to release a new game in celebration of the series 30th anniversary. Double Dragon IV would be a follow-up to the three original Double Dragon games, prior to the series branching off in a different direction post-Nintendo Entertainment System....

Streaming personality Dr Disrespect often comes up with video game ideas and tweaks on the fly. It makes sense, given the fact that he was once a level designer and community manager for Sledgehammer Games (Doc even has his own level and character in Rogue Company). He has always had a grasp of game design and what the community is hoping for, and now that he streams on a regular basis, that is perhaps doubly so....

Dragon Ball Z is well-known for its many iconic scenes. From the epic beam struggle between Goku and Vegeta to the first Super Saiyan transformation to Gohan’s and Goku’s father-son Kamehameha, the show has no shortage of great moments. Arguably one of the more popular ones is Trunks sudden appearance in the beginning of Androids Saga (or Trunks Saga, depending on how you prefer to split the series). Becoming only the second Super Saiyan to ever appear in the entire franchise, his swift annihilation to Frieza and his troops easily made it one of the coolest scenes in the entire show....

You can now use stuff created in Dreams for other “business purposes” so long as you ask Media Molecule nicely first. And so long as you were already using Dreams to make stuff in Early Access. Dreams released on the PlayStation 4 last month, and although the game hasn’t quite revolutionized the game development industry as Sony had originally hoped, that might just be because folks are a little concerned with what might happen to their creations after they’ve already made them....

Drones are coming to Rust on February 4, and the first-ever released gameplay footage from them is finally out. What do they do? Well, they fly out to a vending machine before flying right back to drop off your delivery, saving you the trip. How will enemies be able to? Well, they fly in real-time, in-game, so the time will vary based on how far you are from a vending machine, and all that time away from home will be the time that others can snipe them down....

As the world watched Joseph R. Biden Jr. swear the oath of office to officially become the President of the United States, another inauguration attendee snagged the attention of the internet. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders made an appearance, wearing a disinterested demeanor and stylish mittens, which were quickly turned into a huge string of memes. This isn’t the first time the Democratic Socialist Senator has given the internet meme material, but this time his mittens have been turned into an extremely powerful item in Dungeons and Dragons....
