Fallout season 2 is on its way – and showrunner Graham Wagner says we might not have to wait very long."We are going as fast as we possibly can, and we’ve got a lot of heavy lifting from Season 1 already done," Wager told The Hollywood Reporter.

Following Resident Evil 4 and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth fallout, the Silent Hill 2 remake is avoiding 'yellow paint' trend

Silent Hill 2 won't feature yellow paint around its environments to help guide players, though you will have a fully customizable HUD.Yellow paint has been the focus of countless online debates so far in 2024. Modders attempted to remove the yellow paint from Resident Evil 4 remake, and the notorious yellow paint discourse then came for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Some claim it breaks their sense of 'immersion' whereas some developers argue you can guide in more creative ways. For many, though, it'

Behold, the industrial-strength model of Miquella's arm custom-made for Shadow of the Erdtree events: "That arm is reinforced with resin, metal, and fiberglass"

In case you didn't know, there's a life-size replica of Elden Ring character Miquella's arm going around at events, and apparently it's near indestructible.To be clear, this is a completely separate thing from the Malenia life-size replica that you can buy from Bandai Namco's store, as well as the 10-foot statue of Messmer the Impaler that was given away as part of a video contest. The Miquella arm, as far as I know, isn't available for purchase or as a prize winning and is being shuttled around

Steam Next Fest dev says the "juggernaut game we're all dwarfed by, the baddest motherf***er in the room" is a cozy li'l building sim that's on over 800k Wishlists

Steam Next Fest hasn't even started yet, but apparently the frontrunner in terms of early data is a little indie castle builder called Tiny Glade, and a developer working on a separate game is loving the irony.The irony, of course, being the fact that out of presumably thousands of games being showcased during the June 2024 Steam Next Fest, the one apparently with the most buzz around it has been described by its developer as "a small relaxing game about doodling castles." Personally, I've been

"People could've made billions": MMO legend returns from 2-year hiatus to share a game-breaking Old School RuneScape bug so dangerous even a former dev is shocked

Many MMO fans will remember the Falador Massacre that struck RuneScape in June 2006.

Cue the rampant looting. Old School RuneScape, a 2007-inspired branch of the MMO operated in parallel to mainline RuneScape, recently dodged another PvP bug with ties to player-owned housing – and while it w
