‘Wolfenstein: The New Order’ Delayed To 2014

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Wolfenstein: The New Order was definitely one of my most anticipated titles for this holiday season, but it looks like we’ll have to anticipate it for just a little while longer.

Bethesda confirmed today at QuakeCon that The New Order has moved from later this year to sometime in 2014. In an interview with Polygon, Bethesda’s Peter Hines gave reason for the delay:

Working on next-gen and current gen definitely has an impact, you’re developing for two different things. The fact that the next-gen stuff is still moving is also definitely a factor. But the most important thing was definitely just looking where it was at, what they needed to polish. Because it’s just not trying to be a shooter, because it’s trying to be a shooter that also has driving elements, story elements, narrative, stealth sections – each one of those has to be excellent. It’s not just like we’re making a shooter, where if the shooting is good, then all 16 hours of the game will be good because it’s all we’re doing.

We didn’t just want to do a one-note Wolfenstein game. We wanted to make something that brought in all these elements, and as it turns out, the polish time you spend on the shooting stuff has no impact on what it feels like in the stealth part.

So there you have it. The game’s going to be awesome, but it won’t be awesome until next year. As the great Shigeru Miyamoto once said: “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”

We Got A Title & Trailer For Bethesda’s New Game! Check Out ‘ The Evil Within’

by Shane O'Hare

Mere hours ago we talked about the official announcement for the newest game from Bethesda and the creator of Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami’s. Code named Zwei, it was supposed to be Shinji Mikami’s return to classic survival horror.

Well, just now, like just NOW, we got an official title and teaser trailer. Check out The Evil Within. 

Still no word on release date, or platforms.

Bethesda’s New Game Officially Announced! Survival Horror With Help From The Creator Of Resident Evil!

by Shane O'Hare

So the rumors have been quelled. Earlier this week Bethesda tweeted this “Mysterious” trailer for their next game. What trailer? THIS!

 

 

When I first saw it I thought they were making a new Nine Inch Nails video. Well as of not too long ago it was officially announced over at Tango Gameworks Site what them and Bethesda are doing! From their site:

Our latest project’s codename is “Zwei” and it is a survival horror game.
The above image ( The banner image for this article) is a collage of different environments we put together for this announcement and is intended to give a feel for the tone and the direction the production is taking. (However, neither the code name nor the image is intended to tell you exactly what is in the game.)

As a master of the ‘survival horror’ genre, Shinji Mikami is committed to making a game that is the realization of pure survival horror, an experience which he defines as one that pushes the limits of fear and exhilaration. He and his team at Tango are committed to attaining this vision.

Shinji Mikami, if you don’t know, is the man who created Resident Evil. He invented modern survival horror.

The game is being developed by Tango Gameworks and is going to be published by Bethesda… so there’s that. No info about release, or platforms have been announced. Just…be excited.

‘Fallout’ Television Series May Be In The Works

by Shawn Madden

There’s no question that the Fallout video game series is a highly-recognizable name and very popular franchise among the video game community. Now, it appears that Bethesda may be looking to branch out by bringing the popular video game series to television. Bethesda Softworks have registered a trademark at the US Patent and Trademark Office with the mark “FALLOUT”, for “an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world.” Pretty straight forward right?

Another interesting thing it’s worth noting is that Erik Todd Dellums, who portrays DJ Three Dog in Fallout 3, recently tweeted that we may be seeing more of the character soon. Many fans had assumed that a fourth installment in the series would be on the way, but with this recent revelation it appears Dellums may have been referring to the television series.

 

 

With the success of shows such as The Walking Dead, Revolution and other shows of the sort…it doesn’t seem entirely unlikely that this show could be coming to your small screens soon. How soon? Well, hopefully before a nuclear apocalypse.

Bethesda Gets License to Make S.T.A.L.K.E.R Game: Will S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 Live?

by Shane O'Hare

The Ukrainian blogger who broke the story of the studio responsible for the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series, GSC Gameworld, shutting down has gotten his hands on some tasty info. Bethesda has a license to make a game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R universe!

On his blog. Sergey Galyonkin, states from a reputable source that Bethesda has picked up the rights to make a game based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R universe! He explicitly says that they have not bought ALL rights to the series and just will be allowed to make a game with their own technology, most likely the same engine that was used for Skyrim.

Does this mean that the long sought for S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 may live? It’s WAY to soon to tell.

Notable improvements include: The Resurrection of Evil DLC, Seven new levels titled “The Lost Missions”, Tighter controls, New checkpoint system that allows for more fluid gameplay, enhanced graphics and visuals optimized for 3D on PS3 and XBOX.

The trailer for Skyrim: Dawnguard is here!

by Matt Landsman

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not much of a gamer…but Skyrim is no ordinary game. It’s quite possibly the best game I’ve ever played in my life.  Like many people though, I ran out of things to do months ago and I’ve been eager to revisit the incredibly realized fictional universe. Bethesda has been hinting at downloadable content for some time, and now the trailer for Dawnguard is finally here.  No release date has been set yet, but Dawnguard has been confirmed for a summer release.

Please Skyrim… come and take away every spare moment of my free time. I’m already growing out my Nord beard in anticipation.
