The debut trailer for Fallout: New Vegas mod Fallout: Nuevo México shows off the completely revamped game in a similar fashion to how Fallout: London completely changed Fallout 4.The lengthy trailer was shared on YouTube and gives players a look at the mod’s main location of Mexico City and how the wasteland has overcome it.”Once the vibrant heart of a massive metropolis, Mexico City now lies in ruin, a battleground for factions struggling for dominance and survival,” the synopsis reads. “From the decaying colonia of Chapultepec to the submerged canals of Xochimilco, the city is a haunting blend of beauty…

Halo’s move to Unreal Engine 5 would make it easier for developer Halo Studios, née 343 Industries, to take Xbox’s flagship first-person shooter multi-platform, including a launch on PlayStation 5, tech experts have said.Speaking to Eurogamer, Digital Foundry chief Richard Leadbetter said moving to Unreal 5 makes for “easier” multi-platform development than porting across the existing Slipspace engine.”It stands to reason that an engine designed for deployment across multiple platforms would be easier to work with than existing technology built for Xbox and PC,” Leadbetter said.While Microsoft’s multi-platform video game push has seen the likes of Rare’s Sea of Thieves…

The creator of Shadowrun, BattleTech, and Crimson Skies – Jordan Weisman – has announced a new deck-building, fantasy-infused, pirate-themed isometric CRPG called Sea of Legends. It’s based on the narrative open-world board game of the same name. It’s in development now for PC. The original Sea of Legends board game was created by Zach Weisman and Ryan Schapals. The video game adaptation is being led by Weisman and a team of game-development veterans who’ve worked on Darkest Dungeon, Dead Rising 4, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Skull and Bones, and Ascension. It promises “treasure, adventure, and romance.” Check out the first…

What kinds of lessons do we learn from our favorite pieces of fiction? Are they simply a means for escapism and enjoyment, or can they also have a tangible impact on our lives? Having played nearly every RPG from developer Atlus, my answer to that last question is a resounding, “Yes.” Metaphor: ReFantazio ponders these questions in both concrete and abstract ways through the lens of a politically charged fantasy RPG, further proving that there’s real power in the stories games can tell. As familiar as it may feel at times, it also treads new territory with a sense of…

A lot has changed about both video games and the way we play them since the last mainline entry in the Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series. As the first direct sequel since the PlayStation 2 generation, that means there’s something charming about Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero’s old school design and presentation compared to other fighting games on the market today. It’s tougher than Vegeta’s chest plate, and imbalanced in ways that are both annoying and lore accurate. Menus are labyrinthine, training tips are sparse and sometimes not very useful. But every battle is crafted with the sole purpose of…
