News Fallout 4 Mods on PS4 May Be Arriving This Summer
A rough estimate from Todd Howard
Mod support for Fallout 4 has been a big talking point - especially when it comes to us console players. How will they work? Will they be limited? How long will we have to wait? All of these questions and more have been spiralling for months, but sadly, we're still no closer to any definitive answers. However,...
News Upcoming Fallout 4 PS4 Patch Lets You Make Really Ugly Settlements
Meat bags, anyone?
Fallout 4's getting some new content courtesy of update 1.4, which has just entered the beta phase on PC. Alongside a slew of bug and quest fixes, the patch will add a bunch of new items that you can build at your settlements. These items aren't your average bits and pieces though - most of them take inspiration from the lairs of...
News The Elder Scrolls Online DLC Owners Can Look Forward to Free Pets
A husk's best friend
In a short but rather pleasant announcement, developer ZeniMax Online Studios has revealed that downloadable content owners will be getting freebies in The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. This'll apply to both those who purchased the Orsinium expansion, and those who end up nabbing the upcoming Thieves Guild add-on...
News Fallout 4 Has a Secret that No One Has Discovered Yet
According to Todd Howard
Fallout 4's back in the headlines recently following the game's downloadable content reveal, and Bethesda creative director Todd Howard seems adamant to keep people talking about the studio's latest release. During his DICE talk last night, Howard teased a "secret" in Fallout 4 that, as far as he's aware, no one has...
News Fallout 4 Developer Bethesda Has Three New Games in the Works
A glimpse of the future
It certainly seems like Bethesda is expanding as a developer if creative director Todd Howard's words during a DICE talk are to be believed. According to the always enthusiastic boss, the studio is currently working on three unannounced projects. Admittedly, Howard doesn't go into much detail, but he does say that the games...
News Fallout 4 Finally Drops a Bomb with DLC Details
Custom robots, taming monsters, and big expansions
Bethesda's finally opened the vault door on its downloadable content plans for Fallout 4, and to be honest, they sound pretty interesting. The open world adventure will be getting three confirmed slices of DLC in the relatively near future, with more coming further down the road. However, we should...
News Fallout 4's Season Pass Is About to Get Pricier on PS4
Start counting your caps
Hmm. Either publisher Bethesda's doing us a brilliant favour, or it's trying to convince more people to buy Fallout 4's Season Pass before reviews for the content spill out. Either way, it's announced that starting from 1st March, the price of the pre-purchase will increase from $29.99 (£24.99) to $49.99 (£39.99). That's a...
News DOOM's Single Player Campaign Will Last You 13 Gory Hours
Better grab some ammo
We'd like to think that publisher Bethesda is on a roll with the shooters that it's got under its umbrella these days. Much like 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order, it would appear that DOOM is going to provide a rather meaty single player experience. The news comes from the title's official Twitter account, where, in reply to...
News You'll Starve and Get Diseases in Fallout 4's Survival Mode
You asked for it
Fallout 4 is a funny game, isn't it? This author enjoyed his time with it enough to unlock the coveted Platinum Trophy, but looking back it's hard not to feel a little disappointed. For many people, that dissatisfaction set in right from the off, due to the sequel's watered down Survival Mode. Fortunately, developer Bethesda has...
News Fallout 4's New Patch Makes the Game Look Better on PS4
Isn't that nice
There wasn't anything too exciting included in Fallout 4's latest PlayStation 4 patch, but we're pleasantly surprised to hear that the update seems to have improved the graphical quality of the title on Sony's console. According to our pals over at Digital Foundry, who have run multiple tests on the game, Bethesda's blockbuster now...
News The Latest Bug Busting Fallout 4 Patch Is Now Available on PS4
The fixer
How many fixes can you fit into a 506MB patch? We couldn't tell you the answer to that, but Fallout 4's going for a record with its latest PlayStation 4 update. The patch was expected on Sony's home console last week, but clearly it was delayed. Update 1.3, as mentioned, features an absolute ton of bug fixes, big and small. It also adds a...
News The Internet Reckons DOOM's PS4 Box Art Is Bad
And, for once, the Internet is right
In concept, DOOM couldn't possibly appeal less to this author's tastes. For starters, it's more heavy metal than the doodles on a teenage misfit's pencil case, but it's also one of those games where the shooting's only ever going to be the draw – we're not expecting anything in the way of story at all. Despite...
News DOOM Blows Away PS4 in May
Hell yeah
Better start stocking up on ammo, because DOOM finally has a confirmed release date. The new-gen shooter has looked great in the footage that we've seen of it so far, with chaotic, brutal battles against ugly, ugly enemies taking precedence over the usual bells and whistles that so many shooters get bogged down with these days. The...
News Fallout 4's Next Patch Goes Nuclear on PS4 This Week
Patch me up, doc
Fallout 4's patch 1.3 has emerged from its beta testing stage on PC, and will be available on PlayStation 4 later this week, Bethesda has revealed. In truth, the update doesn't really do anything overly exciting - it just fixes a ton of bugs, both general and quest-specific, and adds a "status menu" so that you can track your...
News Oh God, the E3 2016 Announcements Are Starting Already
Where are we
It's the 1st February today folks, and that means E3 is a mere five or so months away. In other words, it's time to start thinking about this year's show - what fun! No but seriously, are we really talking about E3 2016 already? Look, we know it's a relatively slow news day, but this is a step too far. Following on from its E3 2015...

It's you, the Gray Fox

The add-on will launch on the 23rd March on PlayStation 4. To coincide with the announcement, developer Zenimax Online Studios has released a rather...
News Bethesda Promises Incoming Details on Fallout 4 Mods for PS4
About time
Yes, it would appear as though Bethesda still has plans for Fallout 4 mods on PlayStation 4. Although the developer confirmed last year that it was planning on bringing mods to the console versions of the game, we're still yet to hear any concrete details. That could all change in the near future, however. Replying to a tweet from...
News The Thieves Guild Will Soon Be Stealing Your Time in The Elder Scrolls Online
Sticky fingers
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will continue to grow in 2016, starting with its first slice of downloadable content for the year: the Thieves Guild.

Loads of fixes incoming

Onwards and upwards
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited game director Matt Firor has shared some information regarding what we can expect from the massively multiplayer online title in 2016.

News Your PS4 May Be DOOMed This Summer
Possible release date leaked
DOOM has had some decent hype behind it ever since it made its gameplay debut back at Bethesda's E3 2015 press conference, but things have been a little quiet over the last few months with regards to the shooter in general. Indeed, one thing that we're still missing is confirmed release date, but thanks to a possible...
News Your Character Can Now Look Like the Bloke From the Trailers in The Elder Scrolls Online
You'll have to bring your own beard, though
The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited is offering up several new costumes in its premium Crown Store - but one in particular has caught our eye: the so-called Nord Hero Armor. Instead of running around looking like a relatively generic adventurer, you can now don the attire of that mighty Nord...
Soapbox Fallout 4's Biggest Improvement Is Stealth
Michael acknowledges the Commonwealth’s underappreciated undercover
Note: There are minor Fallout 4 story spoilers in this article. Fallout 4 does a lot of things wrong. The dialogue system is a mess, the perk tree feels dumbed down, and the lack of choices throughout the game is disheartening. You've probably heard those complaints a thousand...
Soapbox Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Should Be Among 2015's Greatest Games
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Wolfenstein: The New Order went under the radar when it hit shelves in mid-2014. The advertising portrayed it as a reboot that appeared over-the-top and generic. You shoot Nazis, and I've done that countless times already. What creativity could MachineGames jam into this rusty chamber of a tired premise that would...
News Fallout 4's First Patch Is Here to Stabilise the Commonwealth on PS4
Update 1.02 available to download now
It's taken quite a while, but Fallout 4's first PlayStation 4 patch is here. As with Bethesda's previous game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the developer released the update on PC first, where users could beta test it before providing feedback. Weighing in at just over 500MB, the patch admittedly doesn't seem...
News Play The Elder Scrolls Online, Win $1 Million
Okay then
We're not entirely sure how popular The Elder Scrolls Online is these days, but we're going to guess that it's not quite as popular as it perhaps should be. This theory is backed by the fact that earlier tonight at The Game Awards 2015, Bethesda's Pete Hines announced that the company would be giving one lucky player $1 million in the near...
News The Witcher 3 Developer Shares the Love for Fallout 4
CD Projekt Red is inspired by Bethesda
Ah, CD Projekt Red. When you're not giving us free downloadable content and providing outrageously good expansions for low prices, you're praising other developers for their hard work - and it's quite heart-warming to see. What we often forget is that the people who make games tend to be a a lot like us -...
Review The Elder Scrolls Online: Orsinium (PS4)
Orsimer down
Veteran players of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited will know exactly what to expect from the game's newest expansion, Orsinium. The add-on, which costs 3,000 in-game crowns (£14.99/$24.99 on the PlayStation Store), manages to pack a lot of content into the fresh location of Wrothgar, but it's ultimately more of the same...
News Black Friday Deals Come to The Elder Scrolls Online

Soapbox Why Fallout 4 Has One of PS4's Best Open Worlds
Kell Andersen reckons Bethesda's Boston is spot on
"You see that nondescript object way over there in the distance?" a game developer in an ill-fitting outfit says as they wave their hands in the vague direction of a comically oversized projection screen splattered with images of their latest open world adventure. "You can walk all the way over...
News Fallout 4 Patches Will Copy Skyrim's Approach on PS4
First update is coming soon
Before its launch, Bethesda promised plenty of free updates for Fallout 4, and now that the game's been out for over a week, we're starting to hear how this is all going to work. Needless to say, the developer's now building future content, and the title's first patch should be releasing soon. There's no word on what the...
News Someone Made a Working Rubik's Cube in Fallout 4
What a square
Fallout 4's building system is just another mechanic slathered on top of what is already a pretty darn dense game, but we're beginning to see the fruits of the addition. One committed wasteland constructor has compiled 128 generators, 36 terminals, and thousands of wires to create an in-game Rubik's Cube. It took him/her 25 hours to...
Poll How Well Is Fallout 4 Running on Your PS4?
We hope it's rad
It's been about a week since Fallout 4 launched, so we think that it's a pretty good time to get some feedback on how Bethesda's latest is performing. As you're no doubt aware, the developer doesn't have the best track record when it comes to making games that run as they should - but from what we've watched and read around the...
Weirdness Adult Site Sees Drop in Traffic on Fallout 4 Launch Day
High vaultage
Vault dwellers found a different kind of joystick to play with on Fallout 4's launch day, as adult site Pornhub – not linked for obvious reasons – reported a 10 per cent decline in traffic on the day of the role-playing game's release. Apparently page views dipped at 05:00AM on 10th November, around the time most people would have...
News Ridiculous Fallout 4 Numbers Point to Bethesda's Most Successful Launch Ever
It certainly didn't bomb
Bethesda seems to have really knocked it out with Fallout 4. The post-apocalyptic role-playing game has been headlining every major gaming website all week now, so it's safe to say that it's popular – but even its most optimistic fans wouldn't have thought that it'd be this popular. The studio has stated that the title...
News Keep an Eye on Your Calendar in Fallout 4
Minor spoilers ahead
If the tagline didn't already warn you, yes, there are minor spoilers in this article - that's why we didn't want to ruin everything with a headline that gives it all away. Something that we happened to stumble across in Fallout 4 purely because we were in the neighbourhood, Diamond City will celebrate the holidays if you...
News Fallout 4 Looks and Plays Fantastic on the Vita
Rad
It's been a while since we've written anything about Remote Play, but this deserves its own story: Fallout 4 looks and plays wonderfully on the handheld format. Earlier in the year, Josh Hamrick tweeted that he was working around the clock to make the functionality dazzle in Bethesda's gigantic role-playing release – and the embedded video...

Well, it didn't take long for a YouTuber to do some amazing things with Fallout 4's character creation suite, did it?

News Will Fallout 4's Robot Butler Say Your Name?
Hours of fun await
When Bethesda showed Fallout 4 off for the first time at E3 2015, studio lead Todd Howard mentioned that your robot butler, Codsworth, would actually say your character's name if it was in the title's database - he wasn't lying, either. When this particular author started the game and called his vault dweller 'Robert', for...
Round Up Fallout 4 PS4 Reviews Are Radioactive
Megaton
We've had Robert Ramsey locked in the Push Square vault for weeks now, and he's emerged with a 9/10 review for Fallout 4 on the PlayStation 4. Of course, while we've got more post-apocalyptic content lined up than you can shake an irradiated stick at, it's always interesting to see what's being said around the web. Here are some choice...
News Fallout 4 Has a 500MB Day One Patch on PS4
And it sounds important
You'll need to download a 500MB patch for Fallout 4 if you want your game to be optimised before beginning your adventure on the PlayStation 4. We reviewed the title with the update installed, as it was actually made available to download days ago. We can't tell you the specifics of what the patch does, though. The update...
Feature Is Fallout 4 a Broken Mess on PS4?
Judgement day
Let's not beat around the bush: Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim all launched in shameful condition on the PlayStation 3. All three games run on what is essentially the same, creaky old engine, which is one of the main reasons why many of you are understandably sceptical of Fallout 4's technical...

Yep, you'll soon be hearing the sound of bombs dropping. Fallout 4 is mere days away, so evidently the time is right for Bethesda to deploy the game's rather intriguing launch trailer.

News Bethesda Reveals Graphical Changes in Fallout 4
Graphics, graphics always change
Bethesda has detailed the graphical technology that powers Fallout 4. For those unfamiliar, Bethesda will be using the Creation Engine to bring the title to life, which is the same engine that was used for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. That doesn't mean that the former will look like the 2011 fantasy RPG, however, as...

Fallout 4 has three times the amount of musical tunes compared to Fallout 3, Bethesda has announced.

The first batch being those that many ears will recognize from artists like The Ink...
DLC Review Braving The Evil Within's Season Pass on PS4
Ruvik's cube
Survival horror games are part of a somewhat niche genre that constantly break moulds and, in the process, either make unexpected, monumental strides in innovation or uproarious setbacks by straying too far into other genres. Regardless, many of them have shocked the gaming world, and The Evil Within was no exception last year. Much of...
News Feed Your Hype with Loads of Fallout 4 Concept Art
Big electric swords?
We're at that point where anything even remotely related to Fallout 4 has people shaking with anticipation, so Bethesda's probably picked a good time to show off the game's massive art book, which will be available from its online store starting from the 22nd December. The 368-page tome contains concept art of all shapes and...

No, Fallout 4 isn't getting any sort of demo, but it's for a pretty good reason.

Of course, this may not be that disappointing considering most people are...
