Get 2024’s best football game for 39% off during October Prime Day

October 23 is coming up, which only means one thing – what’s grown into the Fallout version of May the fourth. It’s the anniversary of series’ world getting a nuclear makeover on that fateful day in 2077, and for the first time, Bethesda’s commemorating the occasion with a broadcast that’ll feature both developers and community folks.While this date’s long been a time when Fallout fans post cool stuff and do a bit of ‘wink, wink, nudge, nudge, have you checked the calendar?’-ing it makes sense for the series’ developers to being joining in a bit more this year, given how much Fallout’s profile’s been boosted in the aftermath of the TV show.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “Fallout Day is coming on October 23 where we will be hosting our first ever …

Mafia: The Old Country doesn’t have Italian voice acting, but 2K’s now revealed the reason behind what initially looked to be a rather perplexing omission – Hangar 13’s elected to go for Sicilian instead.In case you missed it, The Old Country was revealed right at the end of Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024, with a teaser trailer confirming a 2025 release window and offering a taste of the game’s depiction of the mod underworld in 1900s Sicily.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Not long after that showing, fans checking out the game’s Steam store listing noticed that it didn’t have full audio for Italian checked in its list of supported languages, with English, French, German, Spanish, Czech, and Russian all having that box ticked. Given the thing’s …

Borderlands hasn’t even been in cinemas for a month, and Lionsgate has already confirmed that it’s getting a digital release this week.The Borderlands movie is not what I, or anyone else I think, would call good. I would call it very bad in fact, I did so in my review of the film, and unsurprisingly, the video game adaptation went on to bomb at the box office, opening with $16 million on a $115 million budget, which is, to put it bluntly, abysmal. Clearly this result didn’t best please Lionsgate either, as yesterday the production company announced that the premium video and on-demand release of the film will be coming later this week, August 30. As a reminder, the film only came out on August 9, meaning it’s available digitally just three weeks after it was released.To see this content pl…

Sometimes you just can’t predict whether a game will be the next big thing, so it’s not worth kicking yourself if you get that call wrong. Or at least that seems to be the philosophy of Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who says that he doesn’t regret not making the original Destiny and Guitar Hero platform exclusives, even if those calls look a bit questionable in hindsight.Speaking as part of an interview at PAX West called Story Time with Phil Spencer – seems like that name should maybe have been saved in case Xbox ever made its own children’s TV show, but I digress – the exec discussed some of the ones that got away because he didn’t quite get them right away.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “There are so many mixed em…

A Facebook page puporting to be for a new Like A Dragon title called Yakuza Wars has popped up, along with some apparent advertisements. What is the game? Well, assuming these are genuine, a mobile strategy game starring the likes of Kiryu, Majima, and Ichiban Kasuga with some pretty meme-worthy artwork.If you’re out of the loop, people are assuming this game to be what a SEGA trademark filed back in July for something called “Yakuza Wars” – with the listing offering no inkling as to what that could mean – was all about. Though, as of writing, there’s no official announcement of that being the case or not.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings A Facebook page claiming to be for “Yakuza Wars” has been spotted, with it suggesting that the game is an offici…

UPDATE (13/09/24, 1:10 PM BST): Embracer Group has now confirmed in a press release that 4A Games and Zen Studios will be sticking with it, with their potential sales to Saber Interactive as part of the $247 million deal announced earlier this year that’s seen the latter be sold to Beacon Interactive from the former having been cancelled.Saber CEO Matt Karch, who wrote in a letter to staff back in March that the company planned to pick up options that would see it acquire and take the Metro and Pinball developers with it, said in a fresh statement to Bloomberg that “it was always our intention to exercise on 4A”, but added “we thought it would be better for all parties” for the studio to remain with Embracer.Our original story from earlier this year follows below.You know how w…

The first trailer for the latest iteration of The Office is here, this time being an Australian version and it looks… not great.Look, we all know that the US version of The Office is an incredibly popular TV series, massively outdoing the British original, but I’ll be perfectly honest, I didn’t know how often it had been remade. Outside of the UK original and American versions, there have been 12 different takes on The Office, including ones from Canada, Germany, India, and Poland. And soon, that number is going to go up to 15 in total, as an Australian remake of the series is coming out next month, with Prime Video dropping the first trailer for the mockumentary yesterday. There’s just one slight problem, which is that it is one of the most painfully unfunny things I’ve seen in a g…

Paramount has put out a new trailer for Gladiator 2, and it might be a bit more welcoming to those who don’t like to mix new with old.When the first trailer for Gladiator 2 released back in July, I couldn’t help but laugh a little bit at the fact it used Kanye West and Jay-Z’s No Church In The Wild. Clearly some executive said “we just gotta put it a big song people recognise”, and that’s what they landed on/ could get the rights to. Silliness aside, it did at least look like one of those blockbusters of old, before the days of Marvel, and now yesterday Paramount released the film’s second trailer which feels a bit more tonally appropriate, even if it does now have some screaming, bloody apes that will probably give me nightmares. Oh, and, it should come with a bit of a spoiler warning, as…

Oops, looks like it’s spoiler season for the Silent Hill 2 remake, as some players seem to already have copies of the game.What’s the rules on spoilers when it comes to remakes of games that have been out for decades at this point? If you ask me, I think a little bit of courtesy is nice as for a lot of people this will be the first time they’re experiencing the game – it’s kind of like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, where pretty much everyone knows that One Big Spoiler, but we all talked about it generally vaguely for fear of spoiling it for someone who somehow didn’t know. And now we’re here again, this time with the Silent Hill 2 remake, where I’m having to warn you about spoilers, as it looks like at least a few players have gotten their copies of the game (very) early.To see this content plea…

Helldivers 2 latest order in the path towards building that space station has seen some unforseen challenges thrown Super Earth’s way – the main one being a whole PSN outage. Now, though, the current Major Order is entering its final stages, and it looks like they’d be defined by a final big stand to hold Turing, even if you won’t necessarily be fighting on it.Yep, there’ve already been plenty of little victories in this MO’s quest to facilitate the building of that new, state-of-the-art Xenoentomology Center that’ll let you ping about some gigstructures and continue assembling the big new toy in Gallivare’s orbit, but things aren’t quite over yet.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings After surving that outage earlier this week, the divers have been doi…
