Fallout 2 as fps - Download or play online today

There are Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 reasons to believe in a long wait for Fallout 5. The game is confirmed, but will only be released after Bethesda's other two giant RPGs. 2028-ish? Perhaps? We'll see. While waiting for part five in the series, we get the chance to rediscover the soon-to-be 25-year-old Fallout 2 as an fps. The fan-made game can be played online as well as downloaded and costs nothing, although you can support the game and the creators through things like Patreon. T

The Vampire Survivors studio couldn't find a "non-greedy" mobile developer, so took matters into their own hands

Vampire Survivors not only became one of the most popular games on Steam in 2022, it was also released for Xbox and mobile formats before the end of the year. Something striking is that the mobile version is really free. No, not free-to-play, but free through and through. The end. Or yes, maybe a little comma is in order. Namely, there are advertisements for purchases in the game (but "no pop-ups"), which you can ignore and avoid interacting with. The reason is that the developer wants to m

Bethesda support confirms - Starfield will be released in the first half of the year

It was recently rumored that Arkane's co-op vampire game Redfall has been pushed back a few weeks due to unspecified issues. It raises concerns that Starfield will also be affected, as both titles will be launched before the end of the year and Redfall will be first. But when Bethesda now threw up a support page for Starfield, it gives reassuring news: it says in black and white that the launch will take place in the first half of 2023. "Starfield arrives exclusively on Xbox Series X|S and

Confirmed - System Shock remake to be released in March

The long and shaky development journey of the System Shock remake seems to be coming to an end. Developer Nightdive confirms that the game will be released in March, which has been on the game's Steam page since October. The announcement is made in a status update on the Kickstarter page. Nightdive writes there that this is not the first time the game has a release window (the first plan was to release it in 2017), but that the situation is different now.

Rumor: Sony puts a stop to the Silent Hill 2 remake on the Xbox

The pie throwing between the two console giants continues and this time it is the upcoming, highly awaited Silent Hill 2 remake that is in focus. Microsoft now claims that they have evidence that Sony has bought exclusive rights to the game that will prevent a release on the Xbox. The same is also alleged to apply to Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII remake. "MS has already told CMA that Final Fantasy VII Remake cannot be released on Xbox. This is because Sony has signed an “Xbox excl

Fable development is said to be slow, as Microsoft insists on its own game engine

We haven’t seen the smoke of Fable since the summer of 2020, when it was announced. The reporting since then has mostly consisted of who joins the team. However, we have heard rumors that development is slow as the Forza Horizon studio lacks RPG experience . New report talks about another brake block: Microsoft is said to insist that their games use in-house engines. In 2021, we got wind that the engine that will drive Fable is the Forza engine Forzatech. Microsoft insider Jez Corden h

"Our motion was heavily inspired by the tobacco motion just in terms of what we were alleging. Judge Sylvain Lussier, who approved the lawsuit, also agrees with the comparison. He

Vice City and Payday-scented Crime Boss: Rockay City is star-studded like few

Michael Madsen, Chuck Norris, Danny Trejo, Kim Basinger, Danny Glover, Michael Rooker, Damion Poiter, Vanilla Ice… The Vice City vibes are clear. Payday too, right? That’s the feeling we get from the Crime Boss: Rockay City trailer, an fps for shooters. It’s honestly hard to draw any major conclusions. Ingame has previously contributed to titles such as Mafia, Arma and Silent Hill , but will now stand on its own action legs. What stands out most in the trailer is the star-studded cast;

Netflix is hiring for a new AAA game for PC

This summer, analyzes were released that indicate that less than one percent of all Netflix subscribers consume Netflix games on a daily basis. Yep, Netflix is investing in games, which you might have missed. Currently, you get access to roughly 40 mobile games, all of which require Android or Apple format. Now, however, we get strong indications that Netflix intends to invest in PC games – from triple-A cuts (via Mobilegamer). Now they intend to hire a game director for their Los Angeles-b

Diablo 4 is more open, but has “beginning, middle and an end”

The release for Diablo IV is approaching, and is rumored to take place already in April. In the past, Blizzard has said that the adventure will take around 35 hours to complete – if you focus on the story. There is, of course, much more to see. In a new interview, Blizzard believes that the open world does not interfere with the story. Rod Fergusson, general manager, tells IGN that their open world isn’t of the same caliber as, say, Zelda: Breath of the Wild . It’s not completely organic an

Starfield is released after Redfall

In May, it was announced that both Starfield and Redfall would miss their planned release dates this year, which is often full of delays. Both have been moved to 2023, but there are no release dates yet. But now it looks like Redfall will be released first followed by Starfield. The task comes from none other than Xbox Game Studios head Matt Booty and he says it in the Friends Per Second podcast, Pcgamesn writes.

Ncsoft is said to be working on a Horizon MMORPG with Sony

The rumors has once again blossomed, and this time in South Korea.

In that case, the development would be handled by an internal team at Ncsoft, but the project still seems to be in its infancy and the company is now recruiting people.

TMNT Shredder’s Revenge is getting a Playstation 5 version

The beat’em’up game featuring the mutant turtles was very well received by both players and critics. Now it seems that TMNT Shredder’s Revenge will also get a dedicated Playstation 5 version. There is really nothing strange about this, but the strange thing here is that according to them themselves, the game will be identical to the PS4 version. Why they choose to release an identical version is unclear as the game can already be played on PS5 through the PS4 version, but regardless Shredde

Sony tweets about Bloodborne, then deletes the tweet

Many people agree that the number of remasters and remakes is often exaggerated. But! Just as many (at least) probably wouldn't turn down a PS5 remaster of Bloodborne , whose PS4 original hardly flows flawlessly on PS4. While you're at it: a PC version too, please. Rumors have come and gone but so far we have no Bloodborne remake in sight. Yesterday, however, Sony posted a tweet showing a cropped and zoomed-in image of Bloodborne 's cover, and the question: "Can you see that? Do you se
