Head into Fortnite's ever-growing library of user-generated game modes and you'll be inundated with all kinds of AI-generated thumbnails vying for your attention.That won't be changing anytime soon either, as Epic product management director Dan Walsh and executive vice president Saxs Persson dove into the rise of generative AI usage in Fortnite during a YouTube livestream around moderation in the battle royale. When asked by host MustardPlays about Epic's stance...

It didn't take long for Oblivion Remastered players to start pushing the boundaries to see what they could get away with. It only took three hours for someone to upload the first gooner mod, and now one player has managed to break through Cyrodiil's border into Valenwood and Hammerfell.Valenwood is to the southwest of Cyrodiil, Oblivion's location, and features in The Elder Scrolls Online. While it may be on the...

AI—that is, the annoyingly titled generative AI, which is super different from the AI we're used to in games, is also different from machine learning technology—has been a massive point of contention just about everywhere. In art, in music, in acting, and in coding. As a result, it's also been an issue in videogames, because they're a combination of all those things, regardless of what the boss of Amazon Games...

Larian's journey with Baldur's Gate is officially over. Oh, I'm sure there'll still be the odd bug fix, and who knows what might happen in the far future, but for now the studio is finally done adding free content to Baldur's Gate 3, there's no DLC or expansions coming, and it's not making Baldur's Gate 4. So the question is, what comes next? And in the wake of one of...

Waiting for a missed skin to return in the Fortnite shop is, at times, a trying task. Even more so if you're gunning for a collaboration—some return pretty regularly, while others disappear into the vault for hundreds or even thousands of days, often with no indication of when (or even if) they'll return.Take the Borderlands Psycho skin, for example. First introduced in August 2019—just before Borderlands 3 launched—it returned a...

Dark Souls 2 is widely considered the "worst" Dark Souls game, which is not only wrong (that distinction goes to the greatest hits listlessness of Dark Souls 3) but ignores the fact that it could have had a giant hermit crab with a castle tower as a shell.As discovered by YouTuber Zullie the Witch, the Lost Bastille area was originally meant to have a big 'ol crustacean boss battle, which...

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is most notable for its graphical and gameplay updates to the 2006 classic, but something that's brought me a lot of joy is how fantastic and, critically, well-casted its new voiceovers are.The original Oblivion had a ludicrously small cast for how large a game it was, and while this represented a clear area of improvement for the remaster, it also risked wiping out some...

When I think Dune, I think long treatises on politics and philosophy, dramatic knife fights, hands melting in mind torture boxes, Sting in a speedo with glistening abs, and, of course, giant toothy sandworms. I think about the striking scale and imagination of each and every adaptation of Dune over the years, from illustrated novels to David Lynch and Denis Villeneuve's films to the Dune Bible from the unmade Jodorowsky's...
