Larian StudiosCEO Swen Vinckerevealed in an interviewthat one of the series he’d wanted to work on before securing theBaldur’s Gatelicence wasFallout. It’s easy to see why – the first Fallout lies quite close to Baldur’s Gate’s early CRPG roots. Understandably, fans are going practically feral at the idea of Larian making a Fallout game. Like many fans, the idea of a Larian-developed Fallout game is like catnip to me. I don’t care much for the gameplay of modern Fallout games, but the atmosphere and world-building are exceptionally strong....

I’m pretty sure Varric is going to die inDragon Age: The Veilguard. It could be a red herring, but the gameplaytrailerall but screams it at you. Near the end, as Rook and friends prepare to confront Solas, Varric tells Rook that he’s going to try and talk Solas out of his ritual. Harding says, “Varric, Solas isn’t going to stop just because an old friend asks nicely.” Varric insists that he has to try and reason with his former friend, but that he’ll shoot Solas with his trusty crossbow Bianca if necessary....

Well, actually, that’s not entirely true. There is one thing you can bank on being heavily discounted every single time Prime Day rolls back around - Lego Marvel’s Hulkbuster.

Yakuza(now known as Like a Dragon) is getting a live-action Prime Video series, debuting October 24. I love what Amazon did withFallout, andoutside of Borderlands, video game adaptations are on the up and up. But I’m not sure why anyone would want a prestige Yakuza show when that’s what the games are anyway. It’s a running joke that Like a Dragon is 90 percent cutscenes, ten percent fist fights—Yakuza 0 even ends with a 42 minute cutscene....

Summary The originalDoomis known for being playable on almost every gaming system imaginable. In fact, it’s been played on items that aren’t even meant to run video games. There isan entire subreddit called ‘itrunsdoom’dedicated to the strange bits of hardware that are capable of running the 1993 title. Random fans playing Doom on their blender isn’t the only reason the game has a reputation of being playable on everything, though. The fact it gets ported to every console that comes out has also helped cultivate that reputation....

Of course, it was all a massive hoax, and that live stream eventually vanished, as did Copeland himself, but the story of Herobrine became the stuff of legends....

Summary You may think that in a game likeDungeons & Dragons, there would be all sorts of terrifying foes and monsters that you could encounter. In fact, even a dragon would be terrifying to face, no matter what level you are. However, there are certain monsters that can turn any campaign into a horror.

Summary Since Size Matters, the Ratchet game that was actually added to PS Plus this month and is available now is missing from the email, my guess is whoever at PlayStation curated this email accidentally mentioned the game coming next rather than the game we already have. An easy mistake to make, particularly when PlayStation has been gradually adding every Ratchet & Clank game toPS Plusand it was assumed that Secret Agent Clank would be completing the collection in August....
