The Fallout TV series is a bonafide hit, and Season 2, if anything, is even more highly regarded by both critics and fans than Season 1. So, wouldn’t it make sense for Bethesda to make lightning strike twice? People love Skyrim even more than Fallout, so shouldn’t Bethesda try to turn The Elder Scrolls into…

When web developers moved on from the Flash plugin in the 2010s, Adobe kept the software used to make Flash animations alive under the name Adobe Animate. Not for much longer, though: Adobe announced today that Animate will soon be removed from sale, with support and access to the software ending over the next few…

GTA 6 has been delayed twice already, and 2026 kicked off with speculation that yet another delay was imminent. That, as PC Gamer’s Tyler Wilde explained, arose from a misinterpretation of a comment made by Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, but even so some fans are clearly on edge. One redditor in this thread, for instance,…

Alone in the Dark was the first 3D survival horror game, beating Resident Evil to the punch by four years. Its polygonal character models in dingy pre-rendered interiors looked genuinely frightening in 1992 and, to be honest, still looks kinda creepy in 2026, albeit less for its realism and more for its antiquated art style….

What do you do if you suddenly have a hit TV show based on a videogame? Well, making a new videogame for fans to buy and play would be a good start—but what if the TV show is Fallout and you’re Bethesda? Since Fallout 5 could still be as much as a decade away, there’s…

In a new interview with PressBoxPR, Bethesda veteran and Skyrim’s lead designer Bruce Nesmith has gone over his time at the studio, addressing topics like why it wouldn’t make sense to switch to Unreal Engine. One of the questions he’s asked is about studio head Todd Howard, and how the public perception of him differs…

Bruce Nesmith has an enviable list of design and writing credits earned over a long history on some of Bethesda’s greatest games: Daggerfall, Oblivion, Skyrim (on which he served as lead designer), Fallout 3 and 4, and others. None of which prevented him from being extremely wrong in his recent assessment that “the reality of…

Valve made a brave move with the launch of its Steam Controller in 2015. It’s a pad designed for PC gaming on the sofa, and it removed the right thumbstick of a traditional controller and replaced it with a mouse-aping trackpad. With another trackpad on the left-hand side in place of the d-pad, you’re dual-wielding……

Cairn released late last week to glowing reviews, with Shaun Prescott calling it “prickly but approachable” in PC Gamer’s review. And clearly it’s been a big hit with the players as the devs celebrate passing a huge milestone less than a week after launch. “Is this the revival of Kami’s golden age of tourism?” The…

I sometimes forget about the existence of Nvidia’s Shield devices, in all their various iterations. Shield TV, however, has been with us now for over a decade in some form or another—and according to Nvidia, the Android-powered set-top box is far from done yet. In an interview with Ars Technica, Nvidia’s senior VP of hardware…
