Do you like classical music? Is your life set to a beautiful symphony invoving violins, pianos, and the occasional tuba? Do you yearn for the surreal event that will be tunes from the Elder Scrolls being played on a radio station that your grandparents might listen to?
]]>There's a new trailer for The Last of Us season 2, and while it doesn't show all that much, it does at least have some familiar moments and a release month.
]]>Remember how Mighty No. 9 was supposed to get a Nintendo 3DS port? Well, that never happened, and now Amazon is finally cancelling people's orders.
]]>If you can believe that much time has passed, Bayonetta is 15 years old now, and PlatinumGames has teased… something!
]]>As you're probably aware, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead gave players the game's first driveable vehicle when it deployed the Omens of Tyranny update. It's called the FRV, and it's an off-road jeep - or at least it was until modders got their hands on it. Now, one's made the inspired decision to replace it with Axel's iconic cab from Crazy Taxi.
]]>2025's already had plenty of GTA things to talk about three days in thanks to some alleged leaks and definitely real projections surrounding GTA 6, which is set to come out later this year. GTA 5's still chipping in though, with a team of modders having recently released a huge project for it that'll let you explore Liberty City as Mike, Franklin, and Trevor.
]]>You know GTA 6? That small game that's set to come out later this year and definitely hasn't had people on the internet going a bit wild as they try to predict when it might get a second trailer? Well, it's projected to make an obscene amount of cash when it arrives.
]]>Skyblivion, the massive modding project that’s remaking The Elder Scrolls IV in Skyrim’s engine, is now in its currently scheduled release year - 2025.
]]>The Nier series is hitting its 15th anniversary next year, and while a new game hasn't been confirmed just yet, the games' producer might have teased something for 2025.
]]>Hideo Kojima is infamously known for his lengthy cutscenes these days, but once upon a time he was a lot more cautious of them.
]]>It looks like one of next year’s Game Pass updates will be bringing us some classic bangers, particularly those of us who grew up playing shooters on the Xbox 360/PS3 generation. The latest leak is yet another thing that points to Microsoft’s continued interest in expanding the service’s line-up with classic, back-catalogue titles from the many studios it owns.
]]>For a little while there, it seemed like EA felt jealous of Capcom’s immense success with its Resident Evil remakes. The publisher had its own horror franchise laying dormant, so it decided to do something with it.
]]>Ubisoft's done it again. Here's a new weird NFT game that's been released with close to zero fanfare by the publisher. This one's got Rayman in it, and is based on a thing that's inspired by Far Cry 3's fun Blood Dragon expansion, if you can believe that.
]]>You might well have forgotten about Exodus in the year since it was first revealed at The Game Awards 2023 by actor Matthew McConaughey, who's playing a mysterious "major character" in it called C.C Orlev. The good news is that about a year on, it's now gotten its first gameplay trailer, featuring action that looks like it'll appeal to those who like to bang, ok.
]]>Because you don't have enough new gear to grab as you battle the Illuminate, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has just revealed the game's first ever crossover. It's a welcome one with dormant PlayStation shooter Killzone, and the first of its gear drops is available right now.
]]>It's been over a year since the first trailer for GTA 6 was released without much news since then, and one former GTA 5 dev has shared why Rockstar has been so quiet.
]]>A lot of Dragon Age fans were left disappointed at how few decisions from previous games matter in The Veilguard, but BioWare has promised they're still important.
]]>Dragon Age: The Veilguard hasn't been a surefire hit with everyone, but luckily the series' original designer has a new game on the way, and it's out soon.
]]>Yesterday was Dragon Age day, and fittingly, some of the top devs behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard used it as a chance to chat a bit about where the series could go in the future, now most people have seen the end of this latest adventure that involved Rook, Solas, and everyone else.
]]>Warning: Spoilers for Fallout New Vegas lie ahead.
]]>The ongoing legal battle between the Nintendo & The Pokemon Company team and Palworld developer Pocketpair may be heating up, but development of new content for Palworld isn't slowing down. Now, the company has announced a surprise collaboration with Terraria that will happen in 2025.
]]>Shuhei Yoshida, former president of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios and champion of indies, has announced he's leaving the company after 31 years.
]]>No matter who you are, right now the games industry is a tough place, as Humanoid Origin, the new studio from the director of Mass Effect, is shutting down.
]]>Final Fantasy 14 Mobile will bring players back to the beginning of the popular MMO, just not the beginning some of you might be after.
]]>Which entries in the about to turn 30 years old Need For Speed series are your favourites? Did you think the same of all of them right after playing them for the first time? You might well have done, but a lot of games in the iconic racing series, especially over the past decade or so, have garnered a bit of a polarised or mixed reception on release.
]]>Good news, Final Fantasy 14 is coming to mobile, meaning you'll be able to play the big RPG/MMO thing on the loo without having to haul your bulky setup in there, or do some trickery with keeping doors open so you can still see the screen.
]]>Sony is reportedly in talks to buy Japanese media giant Kadokawa Corporation, the current majority owner of Elden Ring, Bloodborne, and Dark Souls developer FromSoftware, in an attempt to expand its portfolio of entertainment stuff.
]]>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.
]]>Crikey, Half-Life 2 just turned 20 this week, but despite that, and even thanks to that, it's just hit a new concurrent player count peak.
]]>Dragon Age: Inquisition players currently aren't able to import their world states over from the Keep, but don't worry, BioWare is working on a fix.
]]>GTA: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition's launch in 2021, three years ago, was infamously rough. From badly upscaled textures, to shoddy character models, to broken animations (and plenty more), the three games that defined modern open worlds were butchered. Now, Rockstar Games has wowed everyone by pulling off a complete 180.
]]>Two decades on from the release of Half-Life 2, Valve has shown off some of what Half-Life 2: Episode 3 could have looked like.
]]>GOG has announced it’s kicking off a new preservation program that’ll see it commit extra resources to making sure a selection of the kinda old to very old titles it offers run well across a variety of modern and future hardware.
]]>If there’s one card EA has yet to play to salvage the reputation of the embattled Battlefield franchise, it’s bringing back the Bad Company sub-series. Back around the launch of Battlefield 2042; when everyone was feeling down about the quality of the game and the direction DICE had taken it into, there was a lot hope for the follow-up to simply be a blast from the past.
]]>If you want to learn more about the behind-the-scenes path that's led EA's Madden series to the point it's at with this year's confusingly named Madden NFL 25, I've got good news for you. It's In The Game: Madden NFL, a documetary about the series, is set to drop on Amazon Prime Video later this month.
]]>Obsidian knew what it was in for as it was developing Fallout: New Vegas, but that didn't stop it from sticking with its guns.
]]>“We've all waited 14 years for this game,” modder Badass Baboon says of the original Red Dead Redemption, when it finally arrived on PC at the end of last month.
]]>Dragon Age: The Veilguard has now gotten its first patch, and while I'm sure you've seen the Mass Effect gear care package it adds to the game, you also need to look through the rest of the notes, because BioWare's saved us all from some very weird NPC behaviour.
]]>Do you live your life a quarter star system at a time? Well, if you do, and you're into Mass Effect, here's some good news. It's been revealed that BioWare's sci-fi RPG series is getting its own TV show from Amazon, with development having already kicked off.
]]>Warning: Spoilers for the first season of the Fallout TV Show lie ahead.
]]>It's N7 Day, that wonderful time of year when alien fanciers the world over come together, look at BioWare, and say 'come on then, do a thing'. Well, the good news is that this year, BioWare's done a thing with No Man's Sky developer Hello Games. As of today, Mass Effect's Normandy is back in NMS, arrving alongside some other new features.
]]>You can chill out for now, as Take-Two's latest earnings call has brought a statement that GTA 6 - this little game you might have heard of - is currently on track to make its previously announced release window of fall 2025.
]]>Quite frankly, GTA Online can physically never have enough robberies. Like, it never can. Those people who own half of Los Santos at this point, they always need more stuff to nick, and the game's December update's set to deliver in that regard, with Rockstar also dropping some good news for PC players.
]]>One of the things that filled the ten year gap between Dragon Age: Inquisition and its recently released successor Dragon Age: The Veilguard was fans wondering aloud if BioWare would consider releasing a collection of the older games in the series, all nicely tweaked for modern hardware.
]]>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.
]]>The PC port of the original Red Dead Redemption finally arrived yesterday, October 29, and it looks like it's taken barely any time at all for the game to start getting the not quite lore-friendly modding treatment. Cue videos of John Marston watching anime and the GTA 6 trailer in Armadillo's old timey cinema.
]]>Dragon Age: The Veilguard's reviews went live yesterday ahead of its release later this week, and naturally that ignited a lot of chatter from folks who've already played the game and those who're planning to. Among this noise was some talk about Bioware's other beloved RPG series, Mass Effect, with the developer currently leading work on the next entry having decided to broadly outline some stuff it'll do.
]]>There always are a lot of cool-looking modding projects in the works for any Bethesda game at any point in time, so there's a chance that if you don't eat, sleep and breathe mods for work like I do, there's a chance Beyond Skyrim: Cyrodiil is one that's flown under your radar.
]]>Warning: Spoilers for Dragon Age: Inquisition lie ahead.
]]>The Magic the Gathering collab train is showing no signs of stopping, as Final Fantasy is the next stop, with some pretty good looking cards coming aboard.
]]>Sometimes, when two video game characters love each other very much, their models awkwardly bump up against each other while a voice actor does a usually very good job of making you feel less ashamed about knowing that the romance of it all could easily have been interrupted by a badly timed t-pose if the devs weren't as locked in as they usually are.
]]>A Starfield modder who's already re-created the iconic prison cell from the start of Oblivion says it's part of a group project dubbed "Starblivion", that they hope will end with an "Elder star system" featuring a re-creation of Cyrodiil.
]]>There's a film about some folks putting on a production of Shakespeare's Hamlet in GTA Online, and it's actually gonna be coming out in a manner which means that if, like me, you're mildly curious about it and live in the UK, you'll be able to go and see it as the flim gods intended later this year.
]]>Helldivers 2's next big patch is now set to drop tomorrow, October 15, because Arrowhead forgot to factor weekends into its plans when it announced that 60 day plan during the summer. The good news is that the studio's made up for this minor oversight via a cheeky video teasing what's coming in the patch, including one inclusion that's seen Johan Pilestedt get in on the jokes.
]]>Discord is obviously the de facto service to use for gamers that want to talk with their friends, and as it turned out, its origin story is quite similar in nature.
]]>The major selling point of Until Dawn is that any of the eight main characters can live or die depending on the choices the player makes. It's a game designed to incentivise multiple playthroughs through its branching storylines, with collectibles and trophies that can only be obtained by ensuring certain characters are alive (or dead) by particular points in the story.
]]>2024's Until Dawn may be more of a remaster than a remake of the 2015 original, but there are still a few new outcomes that diligent fans will no doubt be eager to dig out and see for themselves. In particular, two brand-new post-credits scenes hint at new or expanded endings for a couple of the game's protagonists.
]]>I feel like I need to begin this review by clarifying what exactly 2024's Until Dawn is and what you should — and shouldn't — expect from it. We all know it's a re-release of the now-classic 2015 branching-narrative horror-adventure game developed by Supermassive as an exclusive for the PS4, sure. But is it a remake or a remaster? PlayStation Publishing has been surprisingly resistant to labelling it as either, and it's a confusion that surely hasn't helped to manage any expectations, especially among fans of the original.
]]>The time is almost upon you, OG Red Dead Redemption fans, as the classic open world cowboy game is coming to PC this October.
]]>Did you get off on outsmarting enemies, tiptoeing around the xenomorph, and praying that your save file isn’t going to get permenantly screwed by a misjudged visit to a terminal in the original Alien: Isolation? Yes? Well then, you’re going to be thrilled to find out that a sequel is real, and in production at Sega.
]]>It's been a long while since the modding team behind Fallout: Nuevo México had anything to show off, but the New Vegas mod finally has an official reveal trailer.
]]>It's time to settle the debate – Deadpool or Wolverine? The year's most chaotic superhero flick, Deadpool & Wolverine, is up for grabs in glorious 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and digital. And yes, preorders are live over at Amazon / Amazon UK.
]]>I would do anything for Moo Deng, but her popularity has astronomically raised the price of a Hippo Calf minion in Final Fantasy 14.
]]>Country music legend and actor Kris Kristofferson has died aged 88, his family has announced.
]]>Astro Bot has more cameos than you probably realised there were PlayStation games, but there's one game that feels conspicuously absent: Final Fantasy 7.
]]>You there. Have you got a minute? Did you stay up for September 24's State of Play broadcast from Playstation - the one that took place last night UK time? Well, Xbox has now let everyone know which of the games we saw at it are currently pencielled in to also be dropping on its platform, and if you'll just stop trying to walk through me, I can give you a quick roundup of the other big news from the show too.
]]>It looks like the leaks earlier today were legit. The Soul Reaver 1 + 2 remaster is real, and it's coming out December 10.
]]>Earlier this year, the Olympics committee voted overwhelmingly to authorise the Olympic Esports Games in Saudi Arabia, to run for a whopping 12 years. It marked a massive milestone for the Olympics, which has recently tried to appeal more to younger generations. Esports is its Trojan horse for such a venture. Video games are a big part of younger people's lives, and if the Olympics can stake a claim in the competitive world of gaming, then perhaps it can get younger people to value sport's longest living event.
]]>Persona 5 was a ridiculously long game, and it looks like the next title from the devs behind it, Metaphor: ReFantazio, will take up just as much of your time.
]]>She's been making gaming videos for almost a decade now, but Skyrim Grandma Shirley Curry has announced she's semi-retiring.
]]>There's now a premium, extended version of this podcast that you can get as a VG247 paid subscriber - check out our Support Us page for more info. Doing so helps ensure that we can keep making the show! But don't worry if that's not for you, the main show will always be free.
]]>The somewhat-awaited launch of Final Fantasy 16 on PC is here, nearly 15 months after the game’s initial release on PS5. The PC version arrived on Tuesday, available for purchase on Steam and the Epic Games Store.
]]>Just in time for it to count as GTA 5's 11th birthday present of sorts, GTA Online's finally had anti-cheat software added to its notoriously teleporting deity-heavy PC version.
]]>EA has finally started talking about the next Battlefield in no uncertain terms. The project, which is aiming for release sometime in 2025, will bring the series back to its modern day roots. Apart from the setting, the next game will ditch the Specialists/hero characters, which debuted with Battlefield 2042.
]]>A new year, a new list of songs that you'll listen to as you experiece the highs and lows of doing a virtual football. EA Sports FC 25's soundtrack has been revealed, with both yer das, not quite yet yer das and non-yer das all currently busy offering their two cents as to whether it features enough of what they consider indie bangers.
]]>It turns out the Watch Dogs movie is in production, and in fact has already wrapped on filming.
]]>There's now a premium, extended version of this podcast that you can get as a VG247 paid subscriber - check out our Support Us page for more info. Doing so helps ensure that we can keep making the show! But don't worry if that's not for you, the main show will always be free.
]]>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.
]]>Netflix has a new alternative history anime on the way, Leviathan, and it has some incredibly strong talent behind it.
]]>Sometimes you just can’t predict whether a game will be the next big thing, so it’s not worth kicking yourself if you get that call wrong. Or at least that seems to be the philosophy of Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who says that he doesn’t regret not making the original Destiny and Guitar Hero platform exclusives, even if those calls look a bit questionable in hindsight.
]]>Oh dear, while the Until Dawn remake isn't due out until October, it appears that there's already been layoffs at its developer Ballistic Moon.
]]>Hideaki Itsuno, director of numerous titles like the Devil May Cry series and Dragon's Dogma, is leaving Capcom after 30 years at the developer.
]]>Following Chris Barrett having been replaced as director of the Marathon reboot earlier this year, a new report is claming that the veteran developer was fired from Bungie following an internal investigation into misconduct.
]]>Like A Dragon/Yakuza series developer RGG Studio has locked in an RGG Summit for September 20, the same date we got its fall RGG Summit last year, and seems set to reveal . Naturally, fans have been quick to start speculating/wishing into existence stuff they'd like to see the studio whip out.
]]>Xbox’s Summer Games Fest showcase was a banger that brought back the classic E3 vibes - but of all the games featured in the broadcast, one new title caught my eye - the slick-looking role-playing game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
]]>Ever natter to yourself while you're playing Skyrim? It's ok, we all do it, even if it's just yelling expletives whenever we're playing on legendary difficulty and get ambushed by a dragon while overcumbered. Now, though, a Twitch streamer's taken this kind of thing to the next level, by turning their broadcasts into a live vlog from Tamriel thanks to a mod that lets them voice the Dragonborn in real time.
]]>If you've been on social media over the past couple of years and are into the video game, odds are you've seen or heard of Squirrel with a Gun. It's a game in which you play as a Squirrel with a gun, and it's just had a console release date revealed to go alongside the PC one that's locked in for (checks watch) next week.
]]>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.
]]>Starfield finally got its first land vehicle this week, via a free update Bethesda revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live alongside the Shattered Space DLC’s release date. While it almost definitely won’t convert you if you weren’t already interested in playing more of the game, it is at least spawning an inevitable array of interesting vehicle mods.
]]>This past year, the handegg team I follow – the Seattle Seahawks – missed the playoffs. They weren’t terrible by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, there were some genuinely fun moments peppered throughout their stumble to a 9-8 record. Here’s to you, Jake Bobo, and to you, Geno Smith, for being a nice guy to Drew Lock.
]]>Gamescom Opening Night Live was yesterday, and there was a bunch of news for those who've got an Xbox Game Pass subsciption they use to hop into the still decent array of titles the service boasts. So, here's a quick roundup of all the Game Pass titles shown, as well as the fresh additions coming in August that Xbox announced not long before ONL kicked off.
]]>OK, OK, I know all about the memes. But you can say ‘dead game’ as much as you want and you still won’t be able to undermine one, incorruptible truth: Starfield’s Shattered Space expansion looks great. In a behind-closed-doors presentation at Xbox’s booth at Gamescom ‘24, Bethesda gave me about 15 minutes of information on the game’s upcoming DLC pack, and I have to tell you: I’m sold. It actually reminded me of Dead Space, more than anything.
]]>Goat Simulator Remastered - yes, that's a remaster of 2014's original Goat Simulator as the name would suggest - has just been revealed by developer Coffee Stain during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, and is set to release later this year.
]]>The development of DLC-sized Fallout New Vegas mod Fallout Nuevo Mexico is no longer on hold, with a member of the team telling VG247 that the project is currently “in a good state” as work on the mod has resumed.
]]>The team behind Skyblivion, the massive modding project that’s remaking The Elder Scrolls IV - yep, the one where everyone’s faces look a bit hilarious - in Skyrim’s engine, has just shared some fresh quest gameplay. There’s a bit of Mages Guild, a bit of a scuffle on a farm, and all of it looks pretty great, aside from the odd bug.
]]>We're here again. A big, beloved former developer on the Fallout series has been asked whether they'd be willing to return to the series and do some new stuff. Last time, Tim Cain was in the hot seat, this time it's Fallout New Vegas director Josh Sawyer, and their answers are pretty similar.
]]>If you've been dying to check out the Until Dawn remake, there's good news: it finally has a release date, along with a trailer showing you its changes.
]]>There's now a premium, extended version of this podcast that you can get as a VG247 paid subscriber - check out our Support Us page for more info. Doing so helps ensure that we can keep making the show! But don't worry if that's not for you, the main show will always be free.
]]>The Borderlands movie is so trash, so bereft of merit, that it's driven Borderlands refugees back to the old games. In the wake of the film's release earlier this month we've seen player counts spike for Borderlands, Borderlands 2, and Borderlands 3, as these poor souls search desperately for a reason to still care about the IP.
