New Vegas director Josh Sawyer says games can and should pull on artistic inspirations from ‘anywhere and everywhere’: ‘Greek plays, they knocked it out of the park thousands of years ago—why not look at them?’

Videogames: They’re cool because they make us feel things—like how cool it is to be a cowboy—or think about things—like which things are worth carrying around while being a cowboy. Or at least, that’s what Obsidian design director Josh Sawyer says in his latest YouTube video, adding yet more yield to his recent crop of…

5 years after we called this Kickstarted MMO ‘a giant fiasco’ and just 3 months after it finally launched, it’s shutting down

The Fridge06 mins

The sandbox MMO DreamWorld raised almost $65,000 on Kickstarter in 2021—not nearly enough to fund much of anything in the way of a videogame, let alone an “infinite open world MMO” that promised to host millions of players and thousands of biomes on a single shared world. But it had the backing of startup investor…

Logitech G316 X (tactile) gaming keyboard review

The Fridge013 mins

Logitech has expressed its desire to have its ‘G3’ products constitute its ‘affordable’—but not necessarily budget—range of PC gaming peripherals.

Alas, what a disappointment….

With a dumpster-truck full of cash, New Vegas director Josh Sawyer would probably make a ‘spiritual successor’ to a crunchy 1992 RPG

The Fridge05 mins

Obsidian studio design director Josh Sawyer has made, if you don’t mind my saying so, some pretty cool videogames. New Vegas is a classic, the Pillars of Eternity games are some of my favourites ever, and Pentiment is a beautiful story about history and failure that also includes the line “A whole lot of inconceivable…
