Brian Fargo and his crew have put out another screenshot for Wasteland 2, for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure, I guess, in case you really hate the game's looks): <center></center>

To be fair, I don't remember the 122 vaults rule being cited in a game, but just in the Fallout Bible. I'd have to check back, but if it's like that then I don't see why Bethesda couldn't change things.

Yup: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/35125/E3_ids_Carmack_Willits_Happy_To_Be_Done_With_Engine_Licensing.php

Re: On some related good fucking news: Considering it's "powered by Id Tech" I'm guessing it's some solution for either physics, animations, or Idunnowhat that Bethesda will use mostly for their other studios' titles. I can't imagine Todd Howard's team suddenly switching engines now...

While Dellums' tweets are making me consider the chance that the teaser website might be real (I'm still leaning towards fake though, and guess it just ended up popping up close to the time of the planned end of the year reveal), the Tumblr is most assuredly a fake. Probably just someone else...

Well, I don't think there's ever been any doubt this is related to Fallout, the point is whether it's legit or someone faking it because they had nothing better to do. If it *is* a fake, kudos because it's actually well done rather than the "my cousin that works at Bethesda told me" crap...

Bethesda is already using id to power most of their other internal projects, but could have already made the switch with Skyrim and didn't. To be honest, I think they'll stick with iterating on their own tech.

So far Bethesda's official Fallout merchandising had been a little on the underwhelming side, and mostly consisted of t-shirts and posters, but it looks like they're starting to work on more unique items, if these Vault-Tec Bobblehead statuettes are any indication (can also be found on...

They can write more or less what they want in the site code. I checked this when I wrote the article and the American server IP wasn't there. I'd imagine the guy who's handling this is checking the news about his website. That said, I'll edit the article and title to leave a little bit of room...

But it doesn't matter because the website apparently is either from a Polish dude or someone living in Poland. Still, eh, gives an excuse to discuss something that isn't a Fallout 3 retrospective or Wasteland 2! Yay!

The case is this: a website by the url of thesurvivor2299.com has recently appeared, and would seem to be registered by ZeniMax Media according to the whois data. The game plays a radio file called Bridgeport (likely referencing the Connecticut city, assuming the teaser site is legit) that...

For a while it was this October, then it became "the new demo for pre-orders is coming in October" and now uh, they missed that too. Still looking forward to it, but basically never trust a date a developer gives to you, especially if that dev is Vince D. Weller.

Something like frequent crashes and problems on certain configuration, though, for example, would be severe enough that Fargo would want to keep working on it a while longer, especially considering I assume the first purpose of the beta is to get feedback on gameplay and generate some buzz.

Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer for Wasteland 2's beta, as Fargo stated on Twitter that he isn't quite happy with its state yet:<blockquote>Ok the beta for Wasteland 2 is really close but I'm not quite comfortable releasing it in its current (technical state). I'm excited to get it...

The second season of Fallout: Nuka Break, successfully funded by a Kickstarter campaign (with some additional money from Machinima), has been finally released. Before you raise an eyebrow, I'll add that yes, all the episodes have been released together, so if you want you can watch them in a...

The 2d map is FoW'd because they didn't want to spoil the locations.

The latest Wasteland 2 update has info on the world map, the Wasteland 1 re-release, t-shirts and the upcoming early beta. Here's a snippet:<blockquote>The World Map Like Fallout or Arcanum, the basic experience on the world map is one of exploration and discovery. Your travel on the...

As long as they err on the side of Wasteland 1, where putting the first point into a skill, or two at most was the most important part, with the bulk of the leveling occuring with skill usage, I think it'll turn out okay, I think. It encourage broadening your deck of skills and selecting stuff...

While pretty bare as of now, Bethesda has announced the launch of a European store for merchandise through a partnership with Level Up Wear. For now it looks like just a bunch of pre-orders for t-shirts with some very standard designs, but it's apparently going to expand in the...

The latest Wasteland 2 update tackles the feedback inXile received after the latest gameplay video for the title. Here's an excerpt:<blockquote>Combat Systems On to some of the gameplay points. One often seen discussion was the change from hex grid to squares. This is one of those points...
