Tim Cain, lead developer of the original Fallout, recently lamented the loss of Fallout's earliest development materials. When he left Interplay he was told to delete his copies of early builds and even his notes from development meetings, and apparently Interplay has since lost not only the source code but also the original Fallout artwork and the clay models that were scanned to make the 3D talking heads some of...

At the close of this year's EVE Fanfest, CCP Games CEO Hilmar Veigar Pétursson took the stage to announce a surprising new commemoration of the long-running sci-fi MMO: An epic poem in the style of the ancient Icelandic sagas, written on genuine vellum in⁠—and here's the kicker⁠—the blood of EVE Online fans. Did I mention they'd be giving it freely?"We're obsessing about this 'foreverness,'" said Pétursson. "It turns out, to...

When asked to explain why Valve never made Half-Life 2: Episode 3 for the recent 20th anniversary documentary, Gabe Newell said that he "couldn't figure out why doing Episode 3 was pushing anything forward."For the Valve founder, the Half-Life games can't just push Gordon Freeman's story forward. They have to push videogames forward in one way or another. So, if Half-Life 3 ever happens (or Episode 3, but that ship...

It wouldn't be a new Diablo 4 season without someone figuring out how to deal so much damage the game can't compute it anymore. A couple of lucky players looted a pair of placeholder gloves and proceeded to go god mode with them, crushing the action RPG's hardest dungeons before Blizzard disabled them in an emergency patch.At first glance, it doesn't look like Bilibili user Alaimo was doing anything new...

Oh dear, I'm writing a news story about Garn47, which means I now have to explain Garn47.Okay, so hear me out: Garn47, developed by the largely mysterious solo developer/artist/musician Floombo (she wears many hats), is a very strange open world exploration sandbox that started out hidden in a Friday Night Funkin' fangame, but you can get it now direct on Itch free. It is deeply strange and you should try...

Whether it's reworked old classics you're after or fresh picks inspired by '90s gems, you don't have to look far for a good JRPG these days. While Clair Obscur might be stirring up discourse on whether a French game can carry the genre name, let's not forget the powerfully Québécois Sea Of Stars, which dropped back in 2023. It's gearing up and winding the clocks for an encore performance this...

While undeniably a classic first-person RPG, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind never quite lived up to its name. Sure, you technically were in Morrowind, but the game limited you to the volcanic island of Vvardenfell, with the mainland frequently spoken of, but teasingly just out of reach.Enter the Tamriel Rebuilt project, a colossal (and frequently covered) mega-mod decades in development, aiming to expand the game's playable area to encompass the...

Freshly written and ready to go, today's clue might be just the thing you need to win Saturday's Wordle. Bring it out at the start to help get your game off to the best start possible, or keep it back for later, just in case good ideas and green letters seem to be in short supply. However you do, the May 3 (1414) answer is on standby just in case...

The big news of the day is, without question, the Grand Theft Auto 6 delay from fall 2025 to May 26, 2026. Despite the reassuring words of Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick, who said the company is still going to make a great many truckloads of money this year, just about everybody was unhappy to hear the news: Gamers, analysts, Take-Two shareholders, and PC Gamer senior editor Rich Stanton are all...

Mudrunner in the style of Disco Elysium is maybe not the most obvious videogame mashup imaginable, but that's pretty much what seems to be going on with Zarya, an upcoming "narrative simulator" about a guy named Vasily who's just trying to earn a living and do the occasional solid for his friends in a deeply rural post-Soviet backwater.Zarya—not to be confused with the Overwatch character of the same name—has been...
