One of the most interesting things happening with Fallout right now, as we close out what's been a very newsworthy year for the franchise, is Fallout 76 taking a crack at letting players turn their wasteland wanderers into ghouls for the first time.
]]>If you were starting to think that Ella Purnell was set to become some sort of gaming icon, you'll be devastated to hear she ain't really into video games and would like to stop landing video game roles after Fallout and Arcane.
]]>While some of them have been taking a little longer to arrive than first planned, Fallout: London's post release patches have certainly been delivering plenty of fixes, and the next one, patch 1.03, will be taking things to a whole new level - arriving alongside the massive mod's first bits of DLC.
]]>Filming for Fallout season 2 has finally started, and The Ghoul himself Walton Goggins has shared a little look at himself in the makeup once more.
]]>Fallout: London, the massive Fallout 4 mod that's recently gained some pretty stiff competition in the 'cool radiation-themed things that people love, but suffered from some gnarly launch bugs' department thanks to Stalker 2, featured some really interesting cameos.
]]>Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG Avowed is almost here, and one of the devs behind it says he's never felt more confident in a game like this one.
]]>Fallout fans have been staging an annual community get-together in the real-life town of Goodsprings for a few years now, with help from the owner of the Pioneer Saloon, as a celebration of Fallout: New Vegas day. 2024's edition looks to have been a good time, with lots of cosplayers having made their way out to Nevada, so they can roleplay as anything from an NCR ranger to Todd Howard.
]]>Most Fallout fans now have their eyes set on looking forward to the second series of Amazon's Fallout TV show that's already in the works. However, one of the big talking points surrounding the release of its initial season earlier this year was this - should there have been a new Fallout game ready to drop around the same time? Well, Xbox's Phil Spencer has now offered his view on that.
]]>Popular modding site Nexus Mods recently announced an update to its policies on paid mods, and, as ever with the topic that seems very much to be a never ending source of controversy, the response from players and modders was a bit complicated.
]]>Paid mods are always controversial. Just look at Bethesda’s latest attempt at creating a system designed to facilitate such a thing having proven pretty much as polarising as its predecessors, even if things have died down a bit since that bit of Starfield Trackers Alliance mission controversy back in June.
]]>It's October 23, aka Fallout Day, and the folks behind massive mod Fallout: London have elected to celebrate in their own special way - by officially revealing that their creation has now been grabbed on GOG/com by over a million players.
]]>We still don't know when Fallout season 2 is releasing, but it might not be that far away, as filming is apparently starting very soon.
]]>The team behind Fallout: Vault 13, a modding project dedicated to remaking the very first Fallout game in Fallout 4, has announced that it's made the decision to "suspend" development.
]]>The big Fallout: London update that's been brewing for a little while, Patch 1.02, finally arrives today, October 18. It's bringing with it a huge amount of fixes and tweaks as previously teased, and drops around the time the mod's closing in on having been picked up a million times.
]]>October 23 is coming up, which only means one thing - what's grown into the Fallout version of May the fourth. It's the anniversary of series' world getting a nuclear makeover on that fateful day in 2077, and for the first time, Bethesda's commemorating the occasion with a broadcast that'll feature both developers and community folks.
]]>Starfield design director Emil Pagliarulo has put the sci-fi RPG up there with the Elder Scrolls and Fallout, though I'm not sure he gets to make that call.
]]>It's been a little while since Fallout: London last got a fresh patch, but Team FOLON's now offered an update explaining what it's been working on with regards to Patch 1.02. Long story short, some extra help's been drafted in to help improve how it performs, and you shoudn't have to wait too much longer to check the fixes out in-game.
]]>Jason Damron, the voice actor behind The Storyteller - the main character of a long-running and popular fan-made Fallout lore video series on YouTube - appears to have died.
]]>While it might not be the awards you were expecting, the Fallout show has in fact won a couple of Emmys.
]]>Is Fallout supposed to make you think about society? I'd argue that, at its best, it is, with capitalism being an obvious candidate to explore, given the mainline series' unflinchingly corporate American atomic age-inspired setting and the whole resource war that led up to the bombs being dropped. Though, according to co-creator Tim Cain, that isn't the central crux of Fallout theme-wise.
]]>Team FOLON, Fallout: London’s creators, have long been open about their desire for people to create mods that put fresh twists on or add stuff to their massive mod, and they’ve now done a bit of leading by example in that regard, with a mod that injects some chaos into your playthrough via Baldur's Gate 3-esque dice rolls.
]]>Fallout: London’s massive, but naturally there’s still some stuff that didn’t quite make it into the Fallout 4 mod. For example, in addition to the whole cut Wild Card questline that’ll be arriving in a future update, the team had a go at making rideable horses and bikes.
]]>“Don’t.”
]]>The first big patch for Fallout: London has now arrived and is full of fixes for the various technical teething issues which afflicted the launch version of the mod, just as Team FOLON had said it would be.
]]>Fallout: London has been a big hit with fans, and it sounds like the team that made it wants to stick together to make their own games.
]]>“I studied at University College London where they have the Jeremy Bentham auto-icon and the whole concept of that is weird,” Fallout: London project manager Dean ‘Prilladog’ Carter tells me.
]]>Right, so, as you know, us Fallout fans have been really hard done by when it's come to modders and companies doing things with this series we like so far in 2024. It definitely isn't like we've had a Fallout TV Series, Fallout 76 things, and most recently Fallout: London's release, all giving us Fallout stuff to do.
]]>Paying for mods. If you’ve ever said those three words to anyone who plays games or makes mods for them, odds are you got a pretty strongly held opinion in response, or at least an acknowledgment that - as many Facebook relationship statuses say - it’s complicated.
]]>Fallout: London, the DLC-sized mod — which is a complete lie given how gargantuan this mod is — from Team FOLON launched on July 25. Now that the team at VG247 has had enough time to wet their appetites and see what this highly-anticipated mod is all about, we decided to discuss and share a few of our favorite things across post-apocalyptic London.
]]>So you’ve wandered into Fallout: London’s Westminster and found yourself headed for the Palace, only to be turned away until you have a petition full of signatures from London’s wacky array of leaders. You spend your time doing just that, only for it to, well, be for nothing. As you venture down beneath the ‘Palace’, the All to Pot quest begins.
]]>As you finally reach the borough of Westminster in Fallout: London, you’ll find that life there is a little more pleasant than it is across the rest of the city. There are no ghastly mutations around each and every corner, nor are there any hostile factions trying to kill you. Though, there are plenty of posh toffs that’ll comment on how you stink. The folk at Westminster University, however, are quite nice.
]]>This might surprise you, but Fallout: London - the big Fallout 4 mod - is proving pretty popular among Fallout modders who aren’t part of Team FOLON. Some of the bigger New Vegas fans among them have even started bringing that game’s faction rep and disguise systems to Blighty.
]]>As you might be aware, massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London managed to recruit some pretty big names to go alongside its core voice acting pool.
]]>As you progress with the main quest in Fallout: London and eventually wind up in the borough of Westminster, where things are slightly rosier and less ruined than the rest of London, your next goal will be accessing the Palace of Westminster. Of course, these folk aren’t going to let you walk right in, and you will need signatures from the leaders of all four London boroughs to be let inside.
]]>Fallout: London has its fair share of issues, and despite them, the mod — which applies a British overhaul to Fallout 4 — is brilliant fun. As you progress with the main quest and strive to find out who you are and what the hell is going on in post-apocalyptic London, you’ll eventually arrive in Westminster where there’s been another train crash.
]]>If you’ve run into a door you can’t get through while exploring the English capital in massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London, as anyone who’s played more than a few hours almost certainly has, you may well have unknowingly stumbled across a location used by a cut main quest line. The arc in question is a Fallout New Vegas-style Wild Card option, and it’s set to be deployed properly in a future update.
]]>Massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London has had a launch filled with plenty of technical teething issues that have impacted a lot of players’ attempts to delve right into Ol’Blighty right out of the gate.
]]>Fallout: London is a wasteland; one that's full of danger and precarious situations. But as you pop out into post-apocalyptic London, you arrive with a bang after your train crashes off its rails somewhere near Greenwich. The crash takes its toll, of course, leaving you with the Railway Spine and Lab Rat afflictions to cure.
]]>In your irradiated adventure across Fallout: London you meet an array of wacky characters and, as you’d be right to expect from any massive RPG, you can recruit a few of them to become your companions. After all, being a lone wanderer can be hard work, so having some company isn’t a bad idea.
]]>As you explore the British wasteland of Fallout: London, you’ll meet plenty of characters to love and loathe. Some of the folk you run into can tag along as your companions too, if you play your cards right, and having a companion is a pretty good idea. They can carry your stuff and take aggro for you, but of course, some of them can be liabilities.
]]>One of the most impressive things about Fallout: London is just how much stuff there is to collect. Before you’ve been exploring long, your pockets are sure to be full to bursting with junk for crafting and shiny equipment.
]]>In the time I've spent with it so far one of my favourite things about massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London are its fun little parodies and jokes about iconic UK brands and staples. However, there's one parody company you'll find throughout post-apocalyptic England that I'd argue doesn't feel like it fits in as well as others, and I'm clearly not alone, as there's already a mod to swap it out.
]]>As you frolic around Fallout: London, seeking out unusual call boxes, dolls, and plenty of strange folk, you can also encounter multiple companions to come on your journey with you. One such companion who doesn’t shut up is Arthur Mountbatten, a smartly-dressed ghoul that has found himself in a bizarre predicament.
]]>Fallout: London has a few companions for you to meet that you certainly won’t forget in a hurry. One that you can find a few hours into the game is Keira. Trapped in the Bank of England’s Vault with some brainless Ghouls for company, Keira is more than happy to invite herself along on our adventure once we rescue her.
]]>As you make your way through the Rads and rubble of post-apocalyptic London, it isn’t too long before you wind up at the Bank of England in Fallout: London. A key location during the Heaven Slayer quest and running rampant with hooligans, it becomes your job to show these folk who is boss while looting gold bars and key cards.
]]>Amazon's Fallout TV show has rightly earned about nine million plaudits since it came out, and the latest comes from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. During a call outlining the company's latest batch of financial numbers, we've learned the extent to which the show boosted the player counts of Fallout titles on Game Pass.
]]>Following its release, those delving into massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London have been faced with a number of teething issues. The good news is that the modders are very much on the case and have been busy prepping fixes, though it's taken an outside modder to help those whose characters can't stop munching on pet food.
]]>As you stumble out of a secret underground bunker at the start of Fallout: London, it doesn’t seem like things can get any worse. But as your first tube ride ends very, very abruptly in a horrifying crash, you’re left debilitated with the “Railway Spine” affliction.
]]>Fallout: London is a full DLC-sized mod, packed with loot to discover and quests to complete. Some of the best parts in official Bethesda RPGs always come from the side quests and Fallout: London is no different, with tons of interesting characters - each with their own backstory - waiting to meet the Lab Rat Wanderer around every corner.
]]>As you step foot in post-apocalyptic London and explore all that Fallout: London has to offer, one thing you certainly do not want to neglect are Perks. These function as additional Skills for your character to unlock, improving their capabilities in combat, chem-consuming, conversation, and much more.
]]>As you wake up in a strange laboratory in Fallout: London, being gawked at by two goggled scientists, you are presented with the option to select some starting Traits for your character. This is where your character’s journey begins and you can start morphing them into an agile brawler, careful assassin, or whatever else your headcanon conjures up.
]]>Archie is one of multiple companions you can recruit and befriend in Fallout: London, and while he can be quite amusing, you’re likely better off with any companion other than this young boy. He does a whole lot of flailing around and screaming, and frankly, the novelty wears off quite quickly. He’s a good lockpick, though!
]]>Fallout: London, a fan-made mod for Fallout 4 that completely overhauls the game, is a huge feat. Of course, with any large project like this, there are going to be issues that the modders will slowly iron out over time, but there’s no denying the achievement that FOLON is.
]]>The Commonwealth had plenty of companions for you to love and loathe, so it comes as no surprise that the gargantuan mod, Fallout: London, offers some brand-new companions for you to befriend or dismiss. One such companion who you can adopt early on is Churchill the dog, who can be incredibly helpful for finding loot and sneaking past enemies.
]]>England’s capital has always been a hotbed of culture, so it’s no surprise that Fallout: London’s nuclear fire only seems to have fanned the flames, with multiple factions based on classic British fashion, history and military units all stalking the streets of the Big Smoke.
]]>Fallout: London is brilliant, representing an authentic slice of post-apocalyptic action made by a dedicated team of talented developers.
]]>Whether you've been looking forward to playing Fallout: London for ages, or just heard about it recently, the good news is that it's finally time to do just that. However, unlike with mainstream releases, there's a bit more of a process involved in getting started this time around - especially if you're playing through Steam. But, if you're wondering how to install Fallout: London and get it set up so that you can play, you're in the right place.
]]>A few months ago, when Bethesda suddenly announced that the Fallout 4 next-gen update a lot of players had been waiting for would finally be arriving on April 25, there was one question instantly on a lot of people's lips - what does this mean for Fallout: London.
]]>Those of you eagerly awaiting Fallout season 2 will probably be happy to hear that it's apparently running "ahead of schedule."
]]>It's a big day for the labour movement in the games industry, as 241 Bethesda staffers have formed a union.
]]>Massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London's developers have confirmed that their creation is back in their hands and is "no longer down to GOG", but are urging prospective players not to get too excited quite yet.
]]>The project lead of massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London has said that the reason its developers haven't revealed its latest release date is due to them having signed non-disclosure agreements.
]]>This is not a drill. UK political memes look set to inflitrate the Fallout universe via Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London. Having already confirmed some pretty huge names voice acting-wise, the mod's Project Lead now looks to be suggesting a former MP known for yelling things is also on that list.
]]>A spokesperson for GOG.com, the PC storefront which is set to distribute massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London, has confirmed to VG247 that it's currently not in line to be playable via Epic Games store-bought copies of the game at launch.
]]>Fallout: London's project lead has confirmed that the massive mod will need to downgrade your copy of Fallout 4 to a version from before the next-gen updates that dropped earlier this year in order for you to be able to play it. The reason cited is that the next-gen version of Bethesda's RPG "isn't stable enough".
]]>Those of you excited for Fallout: London better get yourselves ready, as the mod's devs have shared a promising update.
]]>If you're among the many Fallout fans still eagerly awaiting Fallout: London's arrival now that we know the team's locked in a new release date, a new Fallout 4 mod might just be the perfect thing to help pass the time. After all, who doesn't fancy a new island to explore?
]]>UPDATE (25/06/24, 11:20 AM BST): We reached out to Neeher to get a bit more of a picture of how they felt about this bizarre link between their mod and CoD, they told us the following: "It was a funny moment where I was like... wait a minute! Task Force 141 of course being a classic CoD military squad thing, and Xander's Aid from several years ago sharing the same number. Now, of course at the time when I made that mod I didn't have any texturing skills. So I just took the Vault 114 texture and swapped the 4 and 1 to make up 141. That's really as deep as it goes. [It] got a good laugh out of me, thinking that through some twisted mental gymnastics I could imagine that Vault 141 is a real lore vault."
]]>The recent release of a creation club for Starfield - delivering content from Bethesda and modders for purchasable credits as the studio's previously done with Skyrim and Fallout 4 - drew a lot of backlash from players. Bethesda's Todd Howard has now addressed the controversy and indicated that the studio could be looking at making some changes to the initiative going forwards.
]]>The Fallout community is good at coming together to create cool things, with the least of these being a huge Fallout 4 mod built in just one weekend to help raise money for a charity drive by legendary Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and Starfield voice actor Wes Johnson - who also stars in it.
]]>Fallout: London's developers have locked in a new release date for the game-sized mod, and it'll seemigly be coming up very soon. Yup, while the exact date's been settled, the team has decided not to fully reveal it quite yet, keeping us all on our toes.
]]>Sure, the base version of Helldivers 2 has plenty of cool tech and gear to strap yourself up with before you head into battle or deploy via stratagems. Though, I doubt any soldier of Super Earth would turn down a suit of the Fallout series' T-60 power armour, which is where a new mod comes in.
]]>It's been a big few months for Fallout, mainly thanks to that little TV show you might have heard about, but also some updates to Fallout 4 that've, er, garnered a pretty mixed reaction. Now, though, the series has really made it into the mainstream - starting today, some stuff from it's in Fortnite.
]]>They were supposed to keep people safe from the horrors of nuclear war and the ensuing, er, fallout, but Vault Tec had other plans.
]]>After Fallout 4's next-gen update forced its creators to abandon their planned release date of April 23, Fallout: London has been left in what's felt like a bit of a purgatory. Behind the scenes, however, the modders have been working very hard to get it ready to release in a form that'll work with these latest changes to Fallout 4. Thankfully, it sounds like Bethesda's latest tweaks won't cause too much of a hold-up.
]]>The next-gen update to Fallout 4, and its less heralded sequel , have proven a bit annoying for a lot of PC players who aren't too bothered about the new additions they bring. Why? Well, because they've messed with a lot of important mods, as game updates tend to do. But it's ok, folks who've chosen to stop their copy updating, here's a mod that'll stop you feeling like you're missing out on one of the update's actually good things - the Piggy Bank Fat Man.
]]>Warning: Spoilers for Amazon's Fallout TV Show lie ahead.
]]>The weird second part of Fallout 4's next-gen update, which we first learned about last week, arrived yesterday, bringing with it a host of fixes mainly aimed at getting the game to run and look a bit better. It's also fixed one of the funniest issues folks had reported experiencing with the first update, though other problems look to persist.
]]>Ever since Bethesda took a certain little-known isometric RPG for neckbeards and turned it into a huge mainstream phenomenon (thank you Bethesda), the Fallout brand has done Big Business. And so it has been roped into numerous cross-promotional schemes over the years, lending its iconic branding to all sorts of pointless adornments you can get for other games.
]]>History repeated itself when Fallout 4's next-gen update arrived broken, but Bethesda has promised an update is coming next week.
]]>Dogmeat. The name conjures up images of a loyal canine companion, braving the radioactive wastes alongside you in the Fallout franchise. And for good reason - Dogmeat is arguably the most beloved companion in any Bethesda game, earning the adoration of players, designers, and critics alike (except for one, but we won’t put them on blast).
]]>“I remember the first three days, everything was so perfect,” Fallout: Deadweight writer and director Nigel Kim tells me. “Everything we got was so perfect that I was having the most fun of my entire life just being there on that set.”
]]>While the likes of Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 are all well and good, after enjoying Amazon's Fallout TV show, a lot of us have been left craving a fresh Fallout experience - or even a new remake - to sink our teeth into.
]]>Have you been left a bit bummed out that, after having your appetite for the series renewed by Amazon's Fallout TV show, the most recent Fallout games on offer are Fallout 4 and Fallout 76, both of which are getting fairly long in the tooth, even if they are still getting fresh updates? Well, here's what could be a bit of good news - Todd Howard says Bethesda's looking into upping its output, if it can do so in a manner it's a fan of.
]]>Amazon's Fallout series has quickly proven popular as in just over two weeks, it's already become the streaming service's second-most-watched show.
]]>Fallout 4's next-gen update arrived late last week, and uh, a lot of folks weren't too impressed. While a lot of the initial backlash was due to technical issues or bugs, a lot of those on PC who've given the update a go now seem to be looking for ways to revert their game back to its pre-update state. Enter a couple of works that've quickly shot to the top of the game's Nexus Mods page.
]]>Fallout 4’s full world map has more than 200 main map markers to unlock stretching across the state of Massachusetts.
]]>Well, Fallout 4's next-gen update arrived yesterday, as expected, though its deployment has been far from issue-free. The most noteworthy of these was a problem which has led to those who previously acquired the game via PlayStation Plus being unable to upgrade it to the PS5 version for free. Bethesda's said that it's working on rectifying this, with players being left to twiddle their thumbs in the interim.
]]>Ok, so Fallout 4’s next-gen update finally drops this week, and, obviously, it’s not remotely close to being Fallout 5.
]]>If you've been hopping back into the Fallout games recently - or trying them for the first time - you're probably pretty keen to give Fallout 4's next-gen update a go. If you're wondering what time the next-gen update's set to actually arrive, then you're very much in the right place.
]]>As recent player numbers for the series have shown, Amazon's Fallout TV show has a whole bunch of us playing and thinking about Fallout right now. In the case of one fan, Fallout 3's been the title they've decided to take a trip down memory lane to - having decided to start working a cool demake of it for the Gameboy.
]]>Massive Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London is finally releasing today, July 25, following over five years of development and a number of delays. If you're wondering whether you can play Fallout: London on your Xbox or PlayStation console, then you're very much in the right place.
]]>Hello there. You might be aware that, following the arrival of Amazon's Fallout TV show lots of people have been, well, playing Fallout games. It's a trend that's been pushing modding sites into new territory when it comes to serving folks ways to spice up their favorite Fallout, and now Bethesda's casually revealed some of the actual player numbers involved.
]]>Amazon's Fallout show set up a fan favourite location from the games, though it's sounding like you don't need to worry too much about your own headcanon.
]]>Today, April 23, was orginally supposed to be the release date of Fallout: London, with the massive mod being pencilled in for St Georges's Day following a delay late last year. However, Fallout 4's long-awaited next-gen update ended up putting pay to that idea, given its potential to break several elements of the mod just two days after its planned release.
]]>While Fallout 4's next-gen update hasn't even dropped yet, Amazon's Fallout TV show has already been driving droves of players back to the series. Naturally, a lot these returning wastelanders have been grabbing mods to spice up their experiences - about two Skyrim's per second worth, actually.
]]>Fallout. It's a series of games about what happens when someone pushes that big red button to drop the nukes, damning an alternate timeline version of humanity to spend an eternity doing fun little quests among the rubble. Within that, there's scope for some of the best RPG fun you can get, no matter what kind of fun it is that you're looking for in an RPG.
]]>Following Amazon's Fallout TV show, folks have been hopping en masse back into their favorite games in the series. If that's been Fallout 4 for you, and you want a way to spice your playthrough up, you're in luck, as one of the game's most pupular perk overhaul mods has just gotten a fresh revamp.
]]>Somebody’s lost their dad. Again.
]]>TV shows are alarmingly short these days. Long gone is the era of 26 episode seasons. Nowadays, you're lucky to get ten episodes per year of your favourite show. With Fallout, the absolute television event of the year, we've had to make do with just eight installments. Sure, that means there's very little fat or filler in there, but damnit, we just want to spend more time in the wasteland with those particular characters. Because, let's be frank, the TV show is great. Even the director of the original game thinks so.
