  • News Fallout 4's Far Harbor Expansion Sounds Bloody Massive

    Making waves

    Fallout 4's already stuffed with content, boasting one of the most dense game worlds that we've seen in quite some time - and it sounds as though it's about to get a heck of a lot bigger. The game's third piece of downloadable content, titled Far Harbor, is set to be a more traditional expansion, introducing a fresh location that...

  • Guide How to Build the Best Robot Buddies in Fallout 4: Automatron

    Death machine

    Building your own robotic companion is a big part of Fallout 4: Automatron. Not far into the add-on, you'll get the ability to craft mechanical allies, and at first, the process can seem a bit daunting. With so many mods and parts to make use of, diving head-first into your new profession as a post-apocalyptic engineer can be...

  • Review Fallout 4: Automatron (PS4)

    Robots rock

    Fallout 4: Automatron is a logical step for a game that puts so much emphasis on its expansive crafting system. Allowing you to build and customise your own robotic partners, Fallout 4's first add-on has the potential to breath some new life into a dusty old save file, but don't expect its main quest line to keep you occupied for more...

  • News Sony Revokes Free Fallout 4 Season Pass Purchases on PS4

    Understandable

    You win some, you lose some – but you've always got to try. Sony accidentally listed Fallout 4's pricey Season Pass for free late last week, leading many to believe that they'd nabbed all of Bethesda's post-release content at a complimentary fee. However, it's since revoked access to the DLC, so you'll need to stump up if you want...

  • Guide How to Access Fallout 4's Automatron Add-On

    Robot wars

    Automatron, the first expansion pack for Fallout 4, is out now, and if you're reading this article, you may be pondering how to play it. Well, to start, we're assuming that you've bought it: the content can be acquired from the PlayStation Store as part of the game's Season Pass or as a standalone purchase. Either way, you'll need to...

  • News Fallout 4's Survival Mode Isn't Too Far Off on PS4

    Best stock up on InstaMash

    Fallout 4's overhauled survival mode was confirmed weeks ago, but it's still yet to scavenge a concrete release date. The tweaked difficulty setting will require you to eat, drink, and sleep in order to survive, while healing happens over time, and ammunition has weight. Basically, it's going to make the game more of a...

  • News You Can Play Fallout 4's First DLC at Midnight on PS4

    North America has to wait, though

    Fallout 4's first slice of downloadable content, Automatron, is set to launch tomorrow on PlayStation 4, but Bethesda's revealed that European vault dwellers will be able to get stuck in as early as midnight. According to the publisher, the expansion will go live at 12:00AM across the Old World. However, you...

  • News Fallout 4's First DLC Looks Crazy, Launches Next Week on PS4

    Gotta build 'em all

    Automatron is shaping up to be the perfect excuse to jump back into Fallout 4, and we have to admit that we're intrigued by the add-on's official trailer. Judging from the clip, a lot of effort has gone into the main element of the download: robot customisation. The video shows off a load of different ways to build your...

  • News Fallout 4's Automatron DLC Comes Equipped with 5 New Trophies

    Risky robotics

    Bethesda still hasn't issued an official launch date for Fallout 4's first slice of downloadable content, but we know that it's due to release this month. Titled Automatron, the add-on sees your vault dweller repel robotic forces from the Commonwealth, collecting their parts in the process so that you can craft your very own...

  • News Fallout 4's New PS4 Patch Preps the Game for DLC This Week

    Atom bomb baby

    Update 1.4 for Fallout 4 will arrive on PlayStation 4 this week, according to Bethesda. The patch doesn't do anything overly exciting - unless you're a fan of making Super Mutant settlements - but it at least paves the way for the game's upcoming downloadable content. The first add-on, titled Automatron, is still set to launch at some...

  • News DOOM's Multiplayer Beta Boost Jumps to PS4 This Month

    \m/

    Pull on a Megadeath tee, throw us the horns, and prepare to head bang your way through some breakneck rounds of Team Deathmatch: the DOOM closed beta is coming soon to the PlayStation 4. Bethesda's announced that those who bought Wolfenstein: The New Order and redeemed the bundled code will be able to go hands-on with the bloodiest shooter of...

  • News The Elder Scrolls Online Thieves Guild Story Trailer Sneaks into View

    Quietly does it

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited's third downloadable content pack, the Thieves Guild, should be another solid add-on for fans of the massively multiplayer online title. The DLC's latest story trailer details the state of the guild and puts some fresh gameplay on display as thieves set about the new location, robbing...

  • News This Guy Won $1 Million Playing The Elder Scrolls Online

    Lucky bugger

    You may recall that back in December we reported on a big opportunity for players of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited. Basically, if you hopped online for a spot of adventuring over a certain period, you'd be automatically entered into a prize draw to win $1 million. A tempting proposal indeed. And hey, someone's only gone...

  • News Don't Like DOOM's Crap Box Art? You Can Vote for a Better Design

    Blown away

    So, DOOM's box art is shite. We've said it, you've probably said it, and the Internet seemed to ramble about the issue for days on end – but now, there's a beacon of hope. The official DOOM Twitter account wants you to vote on a reverse cover for the upcoming shooter, and there are two available options. Option A is a bit arty, but...

  • News Want Fallout 4's Season Pass? We Suggest Getting It Now

    The price explodes tomorrow

    Consider this a friendly reminder that the season pass for Fallout 4 will jump in price tomorrow. In other words, today is your last chance to grab it for the more reasonable cost of £24.99/$29.99. Bethesda announced that the pass would be increasing in price earlier this month, following the reveal of the title's first...

  • News DOOM Should Run Like a Bloody Dream on PS4

    "The best-looking game at 1080p, 60fps"

    Gotta love the team over at id Software, eh? The developer's lead project programmer, Billy Khan, has bigged up DOOM's engine ahead of its release in a few months, stating that it'll run at 60 frames per second in 1080p on PlayStation 4. "We want players to wonder how DOOM and idTech 6 games can be so...

  • News Fallout 4's Survival Mode Takes Things Way More Seriously

    It's a tough old world

    If you haven't already heard, Fallout 4 is getting a survival mode in a free update relatively soon. Much like Fallout: New Vegas' hardcore mode, you'll need to eat, sleep, and keep yourself hydrated in order to survive - but we could have guessed that this would be the case anyway. Nevertheless, Reddit's data mined some more...

  • News Todd Howard Says Fallout 4 DLC Is 'Pokémon-Esque'

    Gotta scrap 'em all

    Who doesn't love an easily exploitable quote, eh? Speaking to Game Informer, Bethesda creative director Todd Howard has spilled a little more information on Fallout 4's upcoming downloadable content. As you may already know, three add-ons have been announced so far: there's Automatron in March, the Wasteland Works

  • 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...

  • 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...

    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.

Alongside some new downloadable content packs, the developer will be making alterations to how the game's played. For starters, veteran ranks are being...

  • 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...

    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...

    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...
