Don’t worry—I’m not going to spoil anything about the Severance season 2 finale. Why? Well, because I simply haven’t seen it. My limited understanding of the show has been acquired by social media osmosis, so I can only assume it’s a workplace drama with vaguely uncomfortable vibes but also lots of kissing. Jokes aside, Severance…
Doom: The Dark Ages is big. But can it get bigger? Game director Hugo Martin seems to think so, as he mentioned in the Slayers Club Live stream that went up on YouTube yesterday. While playing through the base game, Martin took a beat to say “I’m not gonna lie, the DLC is nothing like…
Fallout: New Vegas writer and former Obsidian creative officer, Chris Avellone, has given a new interview to Fallout content creator TKs-Mantis, and it’s a hefty one.

One of the first things you’re likely to realise in Gothic Remake is how utterly annoying its torch system feels. When you activate a torch in your hotbar, you’ll light it up, which is helpful in such an often gloomy game, but there’s no way to put it back in your inventory while it’s still…
Earlier today, Xbox Wire published a lengthy interview with Obsidian, in which the studio laid out its philosophy for storytelling, narrative design, and handling player choice in Avowed. Given that it’s a Microsoft-published story about a Microsoft-published game, it’s a bit fawning, but it’s worth a read to see Obsidian explaining how it works to…
We mentioned a couple of weeks back that Nvidia had a new toy called RTX Video HDR coming. Well, it’s here as part of Nvidia’s latest driver release for the launch of the RTX 4070 TI Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.
