Since the release of the TV show, the next game has some explaining to do. The TV series is the latest-set entry in the franchise, and incorporates people, places, and things from across the decades of lore — even if it does leave out one major recurring character. But as hard as the TV show tries to stay canon-neutral, it makes its own impact on the universe, too. Sticking closest to one of ' endings as the true outcome for the Mojave Wasteland, the TV series clearly has its own take on canon.

As one of the classic franchises of the RPG genre, has built up an extensive timeline across its many games — one that can be confusing to keep track of with each new addition. Developed first by the now-defunct Black Isle Studios and then by Bethesda (and Obsidian, for ), as a series has gone through a number of distinct changes, with each game putting a post-apocalyptic spin on a new region of the United States.

Bethesda have released a patch for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC versions of Fallout 4 which allow you to chose a target frame rate and prioritise visuals or performance, There are also some bug fixes for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game. Here are the patch notes.

Amazon Prime's Fallout TV show has inspired fans to flock back to the wasteland's radioactive monsters and even more radioactive insults, with many now celebrating Fallout: New Vegas and its… interesting dialogue.

Can Disney Speedstorm be considered a rival to Nintendo’s near-unstoppable Mario Kart 8? While the kart-racing subgenre has seen a good few new entries since the moustachioed motorist and his entourage sped their way to glory on the Wii U almost a decade ago, few have come close to a podium finish, let alone besting what many consider the finest kart racing game of all time.

Bethesda has shared a new developer preview of Fallout 76: Skyline Valley. With a runtime of nearly three and a half minutes, the new video has plenty of time to go over the biggest highlights of the upcoming Fallout 76 update.

Brahmin in are descendants of domestic cows that survived the Great War, evolving significant mutations that have dramatically changed their traditional appearance. These two-headed creatures are essential to survival, providing meat, milk, and hide, and serving as pack animals for traders and settlers.In Appalachia, Brahmin are similar to those found in other wastelands but are somewhat rarer.

and represent fairly different implementations of Bethesda's open-world formula, but when it comes to their shortcomings, they both end up falling into the same trap. There's always a certain level of familiarity to Bethesda RPGs, from the strong points like worlds full of varied possibilities, to the weaker elements like outdated engine design. Not everything has stayed the same over the years, however, and the newer ideas in and are exactly why they don't measure up to the best qualities of Bethesda's most memorable games.

Despite being back-to-back entries in the series, and offer wildly different experiences. Especially with the advent of the streaming series, many first-time players may weigh the pros and cons of these two entries. Each one has its positives and negatives, and both provide a quality gameplay experience that will leave new players wanting more. Either is a great way to start the series, so choosing which one to play first may boil down to personal preference and what players are looking for in an RPG.

One Fallout 4 player has created a lifelike player character version of Norm, the younger brother of main character Lucy MacLean from the games' Amazon Prime streaming television adaptation. While Fallout 4 and other games in the series have been getting more attention since the release of the television series, Norm hasn't been the character on most players' minds when they're starting up a new run.

Now that the belated “next-gen” Fallout 4 update has finally arrived (nearly four years into said generation), Bethesda has at last offered up and enhanced way to play on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. However, the bar was already set fairly high by the excellent Xbox Backward Compatibility programme, of which Fallout 4 was an early beneficiary: thanks to the Xbox One X 4K patch and then the FPS boost, we already had the choice of whether to run in high frame rate or resolution modes (not both) on Xbox Series X and Series S. At least, that’s the idea. Currently it’s a bit broken on Xbox, but we can expect it to run as well as the PlayStation 5 version soon, and the improvements there are welcome.
