Fan made movies based on video games seem quite common nowadays, but very few are really worth watching. Fallout: Lanius however, looks set to buck that trend by creating a “high production” fan movie based on the Fallout universe. How “high production” are we talking? Well, for one thing, Director Wade K . Savage has actually gotten one of the game’s voice actors to reprise their role from the game!
Obsidian has let go approximately 20-30 people, Joystiq reports. Kotaku has also heard from multiple sources about the layoffs, which affect both an unannounced project and the developer’s upcoming South Park RPG. [Joystiq]
Did you forego picking up Fallout: New Vegas and its downloadable content in the hopes that Bethesda would release some sort of Ultimate Edition featuring everything rolled into one? Then February 7 (10 in Europe) is your day to reap your patience’s reward.
Sometimes games aren’t to your exact liking. If you have computer skills, maybe you can create a mod. If you have computer skills and developed the game, well, you can do that, too.
Originally, the graphic novel tied into Fallout: New Vegas was only available by buying the collector’s edition of last year’s post-nuke RPG. But Bethesda’s announced that you can now download All Roads to iDevices.
In an attempt to put the brakes on the pre-owned market, there seems to be an increasing trend towards concepts like the online pass, or game content that’s only accessible via new purchases. Makes sense for publishers, but not necessarily for consumers. Obsidian CEO Feargus Urquhart believes there’s another way — makes games so compelling that they want to keep a hold of them, instead of trading them in. Crazy, right?
