Before its launch, Starfield was set to be Bethesda’s magnum opus, as it seemed like one of the most ambitious games ever created. Naturally, the anticipation from the developer’s fanbase was high, as its track record was enough proof of what the studio was capable of. Then came September 6, and after getting a hands-on experience, players realized that it wasn’t that great and didn’t live up to the developer’s legacy.
The dip in quality in the space RPG was clear, and a former Starfield developer has shed light on why the end product wasn’t that amazing.
Former Starfield Developer Nate Purkeypile Discusses Why the Game Was Underwhelming According to a former Starfield developer, the team had less freedom than previous titles.

In a recent interview with FandomWire, the creator of The Axis Unseen, Nate Purkeypile, talked about his path before working on this anticipated title. Bethesda employed him before he started making the game and he was part of IPs like Fallout, Skyrim, and Starfield.
Purkeypile is very proud of what he accomplished with those Aaa projects and explained why he did not return to the studio. Speaking highly of his experience, he eagerly anticipates the release of this new project later this year.

Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Fallout Season 1.
In the finale of Fallout Season 1, Hank MacLean takes off to New Vegas with Lucy and Cooper hot on his trail. The latter duo’s motivation is obvious — they’re following their target — but it’s never explicitly explained why Hank needed to go to New Vegas. There were, however, subtle hints at his reasons that make a lot of sense.
Hank Wants to Awaken His Superiors
Having been compromised, Hank MacLean is left with no allies. He’s alone and hunted by not some random raiders — he’s hunted by the feared Ghoul. Hank needs to escape, but he also needs allies, and powerful ones, to protect him. The only obvious choice for him, since he can’t return to the Vault, are his superiors.
Where are they? Why, in New Vegas, of course.
Immediately after the final shot,...

Given its warm critical reception and past PGA and SAG Award notices, it makes sense that “Mr. Monk’s Last Case” has maintained a massive lead over its Best TV Movie competitors ever since we opened our 2024 Emmys predictions center. However, because the original “Monk” was never even nominated for Best Comedy Series during its eight-season run, the one-off Peacock continuation can’t exactly be considered a shoo-in. In truth, it faces quite a few strong challengers, including the laugh-packed Netflix offering “Unfrosted.”
Hours before its May 3 premiere, “Unfrosted” rose above its 100/1 Gold Derby odds and pulled ahead of both “Finestkind” and “Genie” to become this year’s seventh most likely TV movie nominee. Its next immediate challenge is passing sixth place runner “Scoop” (also from Netflix), which is currently a predicted nominee among our editors and experts.
Limited series acting hopefuls Nicole Kidman (“Expats”) and Johnny Flynn (“Ripley”) also recently improved upon their 100/1 odds,...

For Jenny Slate, there’s much to love about working as a stand-up comic today.
“We have the opportunity to be really thoughtful about saying something deeply important about our own personal development, about the world at large, about current events, about censorship in art, about what is the current vernacular in art,” the comedian says.
Certainly, she acknowledges, “cancel culture is frightening,” and it’s always “scary to be a person with a microphone, [but] it’s also a great privilege. If you’re a performer and you feel that you’re talented, if you pair that talent with thoughtfulness, I think [it’s a] great opportunity to feel fully expressed.”
On Monday night, Slate was at Deadline’s Studio at the Prime Experience to promote her latest special Seasoned Professional, which debuted on Prime Video on February 23. Also appearing for solo interviews were comedians Tig Notaro and Jim Gaffigan, who while discussing...

In a recent interview with FandomWire, Nate Purkeypile, a former employee of Bethesda, talked about how his experience with Fallout and the studio helped him make his new game a whole different title. Purkeypile said that when he worked on games like Starfield, there was freedom, like a top-down kind of development.
The goal was to create a timeless game that players could revisit whenever they desired. The Axis Unseen will be the next project of this developer, and the game will be available at some point this year.

Despite the popular misconception, Prime Video’s Fallout TV show followed not three but four main characters — but while the three most prominent of them shared their goals and crossed their paths on a regular basis, the last one was left alone. He’s often not even considered a main character at all, but his story proved to be the most intriguing and nerve-wracking in Season 1.
Norman’s Often Regarded as a Side Character
Norman MacLean, Lucy’s little brother, stayed in Vault 33 when his sister ventured out into the Wasteland to find their father. With that, his story as a minor character seemed pretty much concluded — except it wasn’t as he was not a minor character. Throughout Season 1, Norm had his own story and a hefty amount of screen time.
Surprisingly, many Fallout TV show fans often claim that there are three main characters in the series, overlooking Norm entirely.

Bethesada announced today huge cuts to Bethesda’s collection of studios. That includes Redfall developer Arkane Austin, as well as The Evil Within and Ghostwire: Tokyo developer Tango Gameworks. Per IGN, the beleaguered Redfall will have its development ceased, thereby not receiving its promised updates, including an offline mode and new character Dlc. Redfall will remain online to play, and Microsoft will provide a “make-good” offer for those who bought the Hero Dlc.
The other Arkane studio, Arkane Lyon, which is currently working on Marvel’s Blade, survived the cuts, as did Machine Games, which is currently working on Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. Bethesda Game Studios also survived the cuts. Doom developer id Software was unaffected.
According to IGN, an email to staff sent by Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, had Microsoft blame the cuts on a “reprioritization of titles and resources”.

The Fallout game series was one of the pioneers of GenX and Millennial storytelling.
When creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky created a post-apocalyptic vision of human civilization gone awry (but never one to lose its sense of humor), the open world narrative eschewed labels of Good and Evil.
The Fallout universe was made of multiple factions, each one selfish, every character a survivalist in their own way.
These political and social plots explored the diversity of human thinking, teaching us concepts of anarchy that were foreign to even 1990s American cinema.
Now that the Fallout series on Prime based on the Bethesda game has debuted, it has the nearly impossible task of trying to humanize a game that was all but designed to escape humanity.
The show is a big hit and most likely the best video game to TV show adaptation we will ever see, thanks to the clever mind of Jonathan Nolan.

Creating video games like Helldivers 2 and Call of Duty is no easy feat. Most games require huge amounts of code written into it. And trivial details like reflections in the mirror, and bushes in the field do not affect the gameplay much but eat away a lot of time from the developers.
So, the developers have found ways to work around these time-consuming acts by inventing shortcuts. The final results are hardly discernible in the game and everybody is happy. We have prepared a list of 9 popular gaming tricks game developers play on us. Maybe you will be able to find one or more of these in the games you play.
9. Games Like Call of Duty and Helldivers 2 Have Unit Slotting Not all enemies will shoot or attack you at once.
When you are surrounded by groups of enemies, you will usually find that not all of them are attacking you.

A series of high-profile closures have been announced at studios owned by Microsoft, including Redfall developer Arkane Austin and Hi-Fi Rush’s Tango Gameworks.
In yet more grim gaming industry news, Microsoft has announced a series of closures across the studios under its ownership. The studios affected fall under the Bethesda and ZeniMax banners, and include Arkane Austin, which released last year’s vampire shooter Redfall, and Tango Gameworks, the firm behind Hi-Fi Rush and The Evil Within.
The cuts were announced in an email written by Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty and published by IGN. In it, Booty said the closures were being made in order to “double down” on certain franchises and “identify the opportunities that are best positioned for success.”
As a result, Booty writes, Arkane Austin will be closed, with some staff moved to other studios within Bethesda; development on Redfall will cease as a result.

Between the hyper-violent car combat of Twisted Metal and Fallout’s familiar-looking Mysterious Stranger, it’s pretty clear that George Miller’s Mad Max franchise has been incredibly influential in the world of gaming. That’s why you might find it surprising that video games directly based on the adventures of Max Rockatansky have been notoriously difficult to get off the ground.
From Mindscape’s Outlander – which was supposed to have been an official Mad Max adaptation until the studio lost the license when the title was nearly complete – to the ill-fated Melbourne House project which would have been the first Australian-made game based on the franchise, telling an interactive Road Warrior yarn has never been easy.
In fact, only two officially licensed Mad Max games have ever seen the light of day. While the first one was simply a re-skin of 1988’s Road Raider, the second might just be...

A lot of work in the development of Fallout and Skyrim is paying off for Nate Purkeypile as he develops The Axis Unseen all by himself. The heavy metal horror game looks out of this world. His upcoming game hasn’t got a release date, but gamers may see it coming at some point this year.
The game is being developed under his solo banner, Just Purkey Games, and will take place in an open-world setting. Recently, FandomWire sat down with Nate to discuss his journey, touching on the time spent at Bethesda and then the solo development. After the conversation, we are more than curious to play the upcoming video game.

Fallout 3 was essentially Nate’s first real gig.

Upon launch, Starfield was the gaming equivalent of ‘pineapple on pizza’— Everyone hated it. But over time, it amassed a new fan following, as well as winning over its initial player base. While there are still some polarizing opinions on this game, it can’t be denied that Bethesda is keeping up with the trend, i.e., launching a broken game and then working on it over the next few months… Still, they’ve managed to salvage their reputation after the messy splatter Fallout 76 left.
Starfield holds on with lukewarm reviews
And of course, Todd Howard is at the center of it all. Drawing flak for everything that went wrong with this game, Bethesda’s boss had some explaining to do. Stating that it was a bold new IP (their brand new one in about 25 years) with Bethesda trying out ambitious feats, Howard appeared on the Kinda Funny Gamescast to clear the air.

Henry Cavill has starred in multiple action films in his career and has even performed many of his own stunts. The actor starred in two action comedies this year alone, featuring in Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle and Guy Ritchie’s The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which saw him return to his action hero persona.
The Superman star also featured in Mission: Impossible – Fallout in 2018, which saw trade blows with Tom Cruise. The latter, who is known for performing dangerous stunts on his own reportedly inspired Cavill to do so on the sets of the film. However, he had to go through one obstacle before he was allowed to perform one iconic stunt that the Cruise-led franchise is known for.

Walton Goggins is an extremely well-known and respected actor. While he has been making headlines recently through his work in Fallout, other iconic works have helped him become the star that he is today. One of the best examples is his hit series, Justified, which ran for six seasons and became very critically acclaimed.

In the hit series, the actor played the role of Boyd Crowder, alongside Timothy Olyphant’s Raylan Givens. The pair naturally became very close through the filming of the series. However, by the end of the shooting, it would seem that there was a very apparent drift between them, and the reason for it is quite interesting.

Paramount+ tends to lag in both Luminate and Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings, but came through with a No. 4 title for the April 26-May 2.
“Knuckles,” a limited series based on the “Sonic the Hedgehog” video games, debuted on the first day of this viewing period and was watched for 450 million minutes. Divided by the series’ 171-minute runtime, that translates to roughly 2.6 million views.
In terms of minutes watched, “Knuckles” placed behind “Fallout” on Amazon Prime Video and “Baby Reindeer” on Netflix, which held onto their No. 1 and No. 2 positions from last week with 817.8 million and 668.5 million minutes watched, as well as Netflix’s Spanish crime drama “The Asunta Case,” which debuted at No. 3 with 506.3 million minutes watched in its first full week of availability.

Josh Sawyer’s Fallout: New Vegas is widely regarded as one of the best games in the Fallout series as well as one of the best RPG games of all time. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Bethesda Softworks, Fallout: New Vegas was a spin-off of the main Fallout series but still shared some elements from the main series. It’s nearly impossible to tell how gamers would react to certain mechanics of a video game before its release, but Fallout: New Vegas‘ director Josh Sawyer explained that it is purely based on “vibes.”

Most games in the market right now go through various testing phases, but Sawyer explained that in terms of ability and weapon balance, he doesn’t focus much on player feedback as it simply “doesn’t really matter to him.” He admitted that conducting a simulation before the final release would be beneficial,...

Mike Flanagan, the prolific filmmaker behind “The Haunting of Hill House,” “Doctor Sleep” and “The Fall of the House of Usher,” is in talks to direct “The Exorcist” sequel for Universal and Blumhouse, an individual with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap. The source stressed it’s early days and a deal is far from guaranteed, but there is interest from both sides and Flanagan has a take on the material.
Universal directed TheWrap’s inquiry to Blumhouse, who had no comment.
In 2021, Universal shelled out $400 million for the rights to the “Exorcist” franchise and planned a trilogy of films, but director and cowriter David Gordon Green exited the series after directing last year’s “The Exorcist: Believer,” despite having mapped out the next two films.

I kid, of course, but there is something still dramatic about this year’s drama categories – even as we (I) wait with bated breath to see which limited series blinks and joins the party in these final days, pre-printed FYC ads be damned. For now, we’re all operating on the idea that “The Crown” is the favorite here, but that feels like it’s operating on more vibes than reality. The final season of the Emmy Award-winning series was certainly better received than its preceding season… but it was a far cry from the sweeping fourth season.

Was Moldaver in Cryosleep Inside A Vault? Fallout Fans Theorize on How She Is Still Alive - Main Image
Was Moldaver in cryosleep inside a vault in the Fallout series? How has she survived over 200 years, otherwise? Fans have something to say.
Content Spoilers: This article contains spoilers for Prime Video's Fallout series, so proceed with caution.
Did Moldaver Die in the Fallout Series on Prime?
Moldaver may not have been the hero or villain we always thought her to be, but what fans find interesting about her character is how she has been alive for over 200 years.
Considering that she was only taken out when she didn't survive from a gut wound, how did Moldaver survive in the Fallout series?
Well, even though the series hasn't fully explained this to its fans yet, the Moldaver actor Sarita Choudhury seemingly teases that this would be answered in Fallout season 2.

As gamers will know, Fallout is one of the most popular and best-known video game franchises, whose first installment was released back in 1997 for the PC, but it wasn’t until Fallout 3 was released on platforms that the series exploded. This post-apocalyptic role-playing game turned out to be an ideal material for a series adaptation, which is why Amazon Prime picked up the series, which was – in an almost unprecedented move for the streaming service – released on April 10, 2024 as a batch release; Amazon usually releases series on a weekly basis, but Fallout was a risk they were willing to take and it turned out great!
The series has been praised by both fans and critics, and it is one of the most talked-about shows at the moment, which is why we’re not surprised that Amazon has already renewed it for a second season. In light of that fact, the...

Christopher Nolan never ceases to leave his audiences amused. Be it through the absolutely jaw-dropping masterpieces he creates for the big screens or simply the way he prefers to spend his life (which notably includes ‘without a smartphone’), the mastermind filmmaker somehow manages to leave his fans surprised down to the core in the most unimaginable of ways.

Recently, following the release of the Emma Stone-starrer critically acclaimed series The Curse, Nolan did the same. However this time, he didn’t stun and leave his fans confused and unable to believe it through some strange tactic. Instead, this time, it was simply through his reaction to the finale of the 2023 series, which he seems to have texted showrunner Benny Safdie about!

Beau DeMayo’s X-Men ’97, which serves as a continuation of the beloved 90s X-Men: The Animated Series, has been a raging success among Marvel fans. However, despite the show’s success, another show has captured DeMayo’s heart, with the writer sharing his love for it through social media.
Amazon Prime’s Fallout is based on the popular video game franchise of the same name.
DeMayo took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), to share his thoughts on Amazon Prime’s adaptation of the Fallout video game franchise. DeMayo had nothing but the highest order of praise for the live-action adaptation and fans seemed to agree with him. Here is what DeMayo had to say about Fallout.

Ever since the dawn of cinema, stunts have been at the heart of the medium. The very first motion picture, Eadweard Muybridge’s 1878 reel The Horse In Motion, captured a jockey riding a horse at speed — cinema’s first stunt! And ever since then, fearless stunt people have been engaging themselves in the ultimate game of one-upmanship, putting their bodies on the line and minds at work to help make movies soar higher, go faster, hit harder, and be bigger than ever before. Even if the Oscars still aren’t ready to recognise that just yet with a Stunt category, we don’t need an awards ceremony to pay tribute to the crazy folk who do this stuff for real.
To celebrate the stunt community – and mark the release of stunt-tastic action extravaganza The Fall Guy – take a look back over the craziest movie stunts that were actually done for real.

Before I begin, let's just get this out of the way and admit that Marvel's "Thor" and "Furiosa" star Chris Hemsworth is an absolute hunk. I don't know what's in the water in Australia, but all variants of the Brothers Hemsworth are all dreamboats in their own way. Chris in particular looks like what happens when a 10-year-old makes a custom character in a superhero video game, which is why so many people were shocked to see his face transformed with prosthetics to play Dementus in "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."
His luscious locks were now matted with dust and filth, his facial bone structure was thickened to give him a more historical Roman look, and his megawatt smile now showed the wear and tear of living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Don't get me wrong, Hemsworth can obviously still get it and this character will undoubtedly join Walton Goggins' Ghoul...

Starfield is a dream come true for Bethesda Game Studios. The developer has crafted several iconic franchises like Fallout and The Elder Scrolls but this new ambitious space title was a passion project for the team. However, the game lacked one key feature for an open-world game.
It is bizarre to believe that Bethesda Game Studios didn’t include a proper interactive map system in the latest title and instead allowed the players to wander aimlessly to let them figure it out for themselves. Fortunately, an upcoming update later this month will remedy the problem and then some.
Starfield Will Finally Have a World Map in the Next Update
Almost every massive video game has a feature for players to open a world map, mark checkpoints, and plot the best path to take, however, it seems like Bethesda Game Studios wanted to remove the idea of having to spoonfeed the...

Video game adaptations have been all the rage in recent years, following successes like The Last of Us and Fallout. So, it was only a matter of time before Fortnite joined the conversation. Since its release in 2017, this game has consistently been at the top of the list of the most popular games ever played.
Epic Games’ Fortnite
Therefore, a Fortnite movie seems like a natural next step to keep fans happy. However, fans believe that leading such a project in the correct way would require someone like Donald Mustard. Yet, his stepping down from his position and exiting Epic Games complicates the situation further.
Is a Fortnite Movie on the Horizon?
The Fortnite movie discussion has been swirling in the air for quite some time now. It’s become such a hot topic that it’s caught the attention of fans, and rumors have it, even of filmmakers like Zack Snyder and Louis Leterrier.

The Dark Knight trilogy is one of the finest superhero franchises out there, and while The Dark Knight Rises did close the book on Christian Bale’s Batman, screenwriter Jonathan Nolan would eagerly return for more.
Jonathan Nolan, who co-wrote both The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, was asked by Showsha if he’d like to return to the Batman franchise. “Wouldn’t that be a dream?” Nolan said. “That period was 10 years of my life [from] when I got the call to work on Batman Begins, and it was epic. Working with Christian [Bale], Heath [Ledger], Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and to honor an American icon. If I had the chance to go back and work on that again? Absolutely.“
Getting that bang back together would be a tall order, as Nolan admitted, “We’ve moved onto other things,” and “other people have picked up the mantel and moved on with those characters.

After Microsoft’s closure of the Activision Blizzard merger last year, Xbox is now one of the biggest publishers in the gaming industry, a far cry from just 10 years ago, when it had a paltry five studios developing mostly Halo, Gears, and Forza games.
However, things have massively changed now, as the brand has 36 game development studios under its umbrella, as well as ownership of legendary IPs like Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Diablo, and many more. With names like these representing Xbox in the future, where does Halo -the trendsetter that kickstarted the platform in 2002 – fit in?
Xbox Still Finds Halo Important, But May Have Other Priorities Even though Halo Infinite accrued positive reviews, fans were divided on the campaign’s direction.

If you’ve played Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim, Fallout 76, or Starfield, amongst others, there’s a big chance you’ll have experienced some of Nate Purkeypile’s work without necessarily realizing it. A big part of the success of the modern-day Fallout franchise, the developer left Bethesda in search of a new challenge after developing Starfield and found it in a big way with The Axis Unseen.
Solo-developed, the heavy metal, open world, urban legend, and creature hunting game are soon to be released, and whilst there are some pretty clear inspirations from his time on the aforementioned Bethesda games, The Axis Unseen looks to have refined a great deal of them, and made them all the better.
We were lucky enough to speak to the man himself about all manner of things, from Fallout to his upcoming game and even some Thunderdome reveals!

Ubisoft has had its ups and downs with the Far Cry franchise over the years, with a few games outperforming the others, and some that players even avoid talking about. One particular title that has received mixed feelings from players over the years is Far Cry 2, a game that Clint Hocking might have had a different vision for before it was finally released.
Clint Hocking had a different vision for the game before it came out
For those who do not know, Hocking was also responsible for the development of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell series, which primarily focused on stealth-based missions and just might have been where the director got his experience with the said play style.
What Did Clint Hocking Envision For Ubisoft’s Far Cry 2
Unlike Splinter Cell, the level design in Far Cry 2 does not support pure silent takedowns as the enemies ultimately have better awareness.

Despite ancient humans having already overcome several potential doomsday scenarios in real life, post-apocalyptic fiction used to be relatively rare until the invention of the atomic bomb convinced us that the end of the world could be just around the proverbial corner.
Since then, we’ve seen many different stories about the collapse of civilization and the strange societies that might emerge from the rubble, but I’d argue that one of the most interesting of these apocalyptic visions is the post-nuclear America of the iconic Fallout games. A witty satire of American jingoism and cold war shenanigans, it’s honestly baffling that it so long for us to finally see a live-action adaptation of this memorable setting.
Thankfully, Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet’s Fallout TV show isn’t just a great adaptation – it’s also an incredibly fun standalone story that makes the most of its post-apocalyptic worldbuilding.

The success of the Prime Video live-action series Fallout is one of the more popular moments in the franchise. Thanks to a new third-person perspective screenshot, a particular part of Fallout 3 became “cursed.” An X account that is only about this saga posted a picture where the players can see how one of the first parts of the game works, but from a different camera angle.
In one of the first scenes of the game, you play as a baby; this part in third-person resulted in a weird mini-model of a male character, making fans on social media have some fun.

Sharing the sentiments of the majority of gamers, Todd Howard praised a game and developer that took the world by storm last year, winning numerous accolades in the process. Not only did the title manage to win the prestigious Game of the Year award at The Game Awards, but it also showcased how much dedication was put into it by the studio. Led by Swen Vincke, the team brought Dungeons and Dragons to the mainstream in a masterful way.

Amid some Fallout: New Vegas fans claiming that Prime Video’s TV show tried to “retcon” the game’s events as non-existent (which it didn’t) and others trying to explain how this isn’t true, many missed out on one actually huge revelation the series made: the most vile faction in the Fallout universe is still alive and well!
The Enclave Is Downright Monstrous and Evil
The Fallout video games often allow players to join even the most questionable factions, whether it’s the slave-trading and human-crucifying Legion in Fallout: New Vegas, murderous and power-scheming Institute in Fallout 4, or any other organization that rejects the morals of the old America in favor of survivalism.
But one faction has always been so vile and corrupt that players had to fight it whenever it made an appearance. The Enclave, the scum of the Old World.

The Dark Knight trilogy is considered, by some, the best superhero franchise ever made. The trio of films directed by Christopher Nolan, released between 2005 and 2012, are revered for their grown-up, adult crime drama vibe and cinematic scope.
Now Nolan’s brother and franchise co-writer Jonathan Nolan says he’d be down to return to the Batman universe.
In an interview promoting his hit Amazon series Fallout, Nolan was asked if he’d ever want to revisit the Batman franchise.
“Wouldn’t that be a dream?” Nolan said. “That period was 10 years of my life [from] when I got the call to work on Batman Begins, and it was epic.

The first trailer for the upcoming follow-up to Jon Favrau’s 2019 Live-Action Remake of The Lion King was recently released on YouTube. The film, titled Mufasa, serves as a sequel/prequel and tells the story of Simba’s father, Mufasa. Over the past couple of days, the trailer has gained over 6 million views but has been poorly received as the trailer currently has 222K dislikes to 104 Likes.
Much of the criticism stems from the continued pushback of Disney’s conveyor belt of remakes over the past couple of years, with their 2023 remake of The Little Mermaid becoming the most downvoted Hollywood film trailer in history. Criticism over the film allegedly changing the lore and backstory of certain characters has also been brought up.

Fallout games have seen a rise in popularity since Prime Video’s TV series was launched last month, and Fallout 3 has also seen some effects from it. One fan has recreated the iconic town of the game, Megaton, in Far Cry 5’s arcade mode, and it may be the best creation seen so far in arcade mode.
The recreation looks amazing in the game, and the fan has managed to stay faithful to the original look of the town. While it is surely exciting to see the town in Ubisoft’s game, it also shows that the renowned publisher has not been able to crack the full potential of the popular franchise.

The Fallout series has been a huge success and proves once again how live-action adaptations of video games are not a bad idea after all. Following in the footsteps of Halo and The Last of Us, the TV show has become one of the best-performing releases on its respective platforms, and the showrunners have teased how the fun has just begun.
The Fallout TV Series has proven to be a huge success
While the series is getting praised for its excellent world-building and the great understanding of its source material, it is still missing a lot of elements, including Deathclaws, something which co-showrunner Graham Wagner has revealed the studio is looking forward to adding soon in the coming seasons.

Jonathan Nolan wrote The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises alongside his brother (after contributing to Batman Begins), filmmaker Christopher Nolan, and he's since shifted focus to small screen projects like Westworld and Fallout.
Christopher has said on multiple occasions that he's done with Batman, while Christian Bale has vowed to only return if the director does. As a result, we've come to accept this trilogy ended in 2012 and will be left alone.
However, in a new interview, Jonathan has made it clear he'd be open to returning to the Caped Crusader's world...even if his brother would take some convincing.
"Wouldn't that be a dream," he said. "That period was about 10 years of my life, from when I got the call to work on Batman Begins in 2003 to putting out The Dark Knight Rises In 2012 and it was epic."

Walton Goggins and Timothy Olyphant starred in Justified for six seasons, but by the end of its FX run, the actors were not on the best of terms.
Goggins first opened up about his fractured relationship with his co-star in Peter Biskind’s book Pandora’s Box: How Guts, Guile, and Greed Upended TV. In a new interview, Goggins once again said he and Olyphant “weren’t talking” by the show’s series finale.
“We had a tough time towards the end of Justified,” Goggins told The Independent. “We were so deep into these people we were playing, and they were so polar opposite at this point in the story… I think we were both obsessed with our own points of view, just carrying the weight of this conflict.”
However, with time passing, the two seem to have mended things, with Goggins reflecting and saying, “I think we just needed to separate,...

In the past three decades, the Fallout series has successfully cemented its place as one of the most popular post-apocalyptic role-playing video games of all time. Thanks to its massive success, a TV show based on the series was also released on Amazon Prime recently. Since its first game, Fallout (1997), the series has drastically changed but the franchise hasn’t lost its core element, making it very popular among the fans.
So far, fans have got nine Fallout games across many different consoles, and one may assume that their first game would be the shortest in terms of runtime. However, that’s not the case. As for the longest Fallout game, it is only 1/4th of the time it takes to obtain 100% completion of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring. Here, we have ranked every Fallout game depending on the time it takes to complete it:
9) Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel – 8 Hours

The Helldivers 2 community is one that, for the most part, has got each other’s back. Even when teaming up with strangers during missions or coming across a fellow Helldiver‘s post on the internet, people are really eager to lend a hand and help each other out.
And the community largely owes its thanks to Johan Pilestedt, the CEO of Arrowhead Studios. If you’re wondering why, it’ll all make sense when you read one of his latest interactions on X/Twitter.

Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder “dug coal together,” but by the end of Justified‘s six-season run, Timothy Olyphant and Walton Goggins weren’t exchanging many words together — to hear at least one of the actors tell it.
In Peter Biskind’s November 2023 book, Pandora’s Box How Guts, Guile, and Greed Upended TV, Goggins is quoted as saying that he and Olyphant “weren’t talking” by the end of Justified’s run.
