It’s no secret that behind the unbreakable loyalty of Fallout 4’s Dogmeat is real-life German Shepherd, River. This gorgeous pup brought the fan-favourite companion to life, not just as a reference for Dogmeat’s appearance, but also his behaviour and shining personality. However, almost six years after her starring role, River has sadly passed away. This heartbreaking news was shared by her owner and Fallout 4 developer Joel Burgess, who described her as a four-legged friend who “loved making people happy....

Since the release of Fallout 76 in November of last year, the issue of inventory management has been a frequent point of discussion amongst the community, with many players voicing frustration about how frequently their characters become over-encumbered. Bethesda has continually acknowledged this concern, and the company once again looks to address it in an upcoming patch. Specifically, Fallout 76’s next update, which is planned for next week, will increase Stash limits to 800 pounds, allowing players to lighten the loads of their characters with additional storage opportunities....

In the world of cosplay, the Fallout franchise has supplied no shortage of inspiration. Costumes inspired by characters and items from the game’s world have become a staple at gaming conventions thanks to the franchise’s unique post-apocalyptic vision and the crazy armor featured in each game. Unfortunately for one cosplayer, wearing that kind of costume outside of a convention can definitely scare people who aren’t as familiar with the series. And also lead to some trouble with the law…...

Many people in the fan community are aware that Warcraft 3: Reforged was largely unpopular when it came out at the beginning of this year, enough so that some fans demanded refunds from Blizzard. Some modders and fan creators are taking it upon themselves to improve the game by turning in into Warcraft 2 instead. Even though Warcraft 3: Reforged was strongly disliked by both critics and fans, some fans are volunteering to spend more time with the negatively reviewed game to make it into a game that was very popular when released in 1995: Warcraft 2....

Rachell “Valkyrae” Hofstetter is currently one of the fastest-growing YouTube streamers this year. After starting the year with around 330,000 monthly live views, her monthly live views quickly rose to over 11 million. Valkyrae has gained a ton of popularity for her streams playing Among Us with other famous streamers like Corpse Husband, Pokimane, and Sykkuno. Recently, while playing Rust with fellow streamers, Valkyrae suddenly ended her stream, leading to fans expressing concern on social media....

Fargo creator Noah Hawley is one of the busiest men in Hollywood right now, which means the award-winning series was put on hitaus longer than fans anticipated. Thankfully, FX brought Hawley back for Fargo Season 4, brandishing the intriguing cast addition of Chris Rock, who will be the lead in this installment of the anthology series. While Fargo Season 3 was another ratings winner for FX, some critics of the show believe that the premise has gone stale....

With The Dawning holiday event at an end, Guardians are starting to wonder what’s next for the game. As Bungie developers head back to work for the first time in 2017, players should be hearing more about that topic soon if the final Destiny: Rise of Iron blog post from a few weeks ago is anything to go by....

If you’ve played Detroit: Become Human, you know that the game is full of war, violence, riots, kidnapping, abuse, and intense situations. At times, the fate of humanity and the entire definition of humanity is at stake. Yet all outcomes, good and bad, depend on the smaller choices made leading up to the finale. Perhaps the biggest obstacle for gamers is the interrogation of the deviant at police headquarters, where you control Connor....

Devil May Cry 5 will share a new gameplay trailer tonight at The Game Awards 2018, confirmed due to the trailer leaking early via the Xbox Portugal Facebook page. The trailer was pulled rather quickly, making it difficult to share, but alongside the trailer is some very exciting news.

Fallout 4 wins the top prize at the 19th annual DICE Awards, earning its place as Game of the Year against the likes of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Super Mario Maker. Fallout 4 has proved to be a massive critical and commercial success, with the game earning almost entirely positive reviews and Bethesda having to ship 12 million copies for day one demand alone. That said, the game has not always proved to be a winner in awards ceremonies, with Bethesda’s action RPG playing bridesmaid to other acclaimed games....

In an interview with Den of Geek, former Doctor Who actor Colin Baker hinted at a return to the spoof The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot special that was produced for the show’s 50th anniversary celebrations in 2013. “I’ve spoken to Peter [Davison], Paul [McGann] and Sylvester [McCoy] about it, and they’re all up for it. If it happened, we’d do it.” Speaking at Edinburgh’s Capital Sci-Fi Con about the spiritualism of Doctor Who, the Sixth Doctor actor Colin Baker was asked about the possibility of The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot coming back for the 60th anniversary in 2023 and seemed keen at the idea....

Wynne is easily one of the more likable companions that players recruit in Dragon Age: Origins. Although she’s a mage, she doesn’t seem to have the arrogance of other spellcasters like Solas or Morrigan. Rather, Wynne comes with a naturally nurturing attitude, offering words of wisdom to the heroes and returning any kindness showed to her. One might think this makes her a pushover, but she’s also proven more than capable of handling herself within both combat and conversation....

I don’t much care for Star Wars and Mass Effect is a better space opera than George Lucas could ever dream up, so away with any of you who are seething with rage over an 18-year-old game. I was seven when it came out and hold no nostalgic bias over Knights of the Old Republic - it’s a good game, whereas Dragon Age Origins is a great one. The Dragon Age and Mass Effect series contain no bad games....

As a franchise about fighting, Dragon Ball has no shortage of characters versed in martial arts. However, many of these are Saiyans or members of some other alien race. Due to their unique biology, they’re able to increase their strength and fight for far longer than their peers. This means that the human beings in this universe are at a fundamental disadvantage, but that doesn’t mean that you should count them out...

A large chunk of Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition can now be experienced for free, as a ten-hour demo recently became available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

DragonForce’s legendary lead guitarist Herman Li isn’t happy with Universal Music Group. Unfortunately, the musician has run into some obnoxious issues regarding copyright censorship on Twitch. He took some time during a stream to vent to his viewers, claiming that his VODs are being blocked by Universal as a result of him playing his own songs. Li was clearly upset over the matter. “It is out of control.” The guitarist had no patience left to give....

To say that it has been a rough few months for publisher Electronic Arts would be putting things mildly. For a company that has never occupied the best light when it comes to the perspective of gamers, the recent controversies surrounding Star Wars Battlefront 2 have done a lot to sour the public’s perception of the publisher and now its financials are suffering as a result as well. In a new report from analyst firm Cowen, Electronic Arts’ financial projections have been slightly lowered for the quarter despite market trends showing a 6 percent return for investors....

Sherlock… Mycroft… and Enola! The Holmes siblings—we’re looking for a mind at work! It is easy to insert the names of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective and his brother—and their baby sister, Nancy Springer’s relatively recent creation—to the tune of “The Schuyler Sisters” from Hamilton. It’s just the sort of playful, futzing-with-lore vibe given off by Enola Holmes, Netflix’s feminist riff on Doyle’s canon. But unlike Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical, the Netflix movie won’t stick in your memory beyond the credits....

Epic Games is a giant in the video games industry, and it wears many hats. Not only does the company own Fortnite, it also runs the Epic Games Store, which promises more exclusives than ever over the next two years. While these sources of wealth have their own controversies, one thing that almost everyone loves about Epic Games is its contribution to game creation: the Unreal Engine. Unreal is a simple (for what it is) but powerful game creating tool, and has been utilized for a huge variety of projects....
