Elder Scrolls Online Legacy of the Bretons trailers set up the MMO’s future

January 28, 2022VG247

Following some subterfuge and a ruthless assassination, it looks as though ESO is creeping towards a tumultuous future. There’s been some big news as of late in the world of Elder Scrolls Online. Legacy of the Bretons, the next expansion due to release for the popular MMORPG, received a lushous new announcement trailer setting up the events that’ll take place in the upcoming content. This trailer (embedded below) brings back some familiar faces from previous cinematics as they investigate the actions of rogues breaking into a palace of some sort. Breaking inside, they arrive too late to save the inhabitants…

The Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls 6 release gap isn’t “a good thing,” but Starfield was a ‘now or never’ project

November 9, 2021VG247

Wave that magic wand, Todd. The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced as being in development at E3 2018 which is was a bit out of character for Bethesda as it tends not to announce a game so far in advance. The company, however, wanted to assure fans the game was in the works. Bethesda has always said Starfield would come before ES6, and zero details on the game have been provided. The studio did say ES6 it was being designed to be played for a decade or more, like Skyrim, and work wouldn’t fully start on it until Starfield is…

A history of global Britain in Skyrim, by Dave Hurst: games writer

November 5, 2021VG247

Skyrim can tell us so much about our history, if you look for it. November 2011. Skyrim is released to an Elder Scrolls thirsty public. Many consider it a role-playing masterpiece (those who haven’t played Demon’s Souls, anyway). June/July 2012. Skyrim’s dominance of the gaming world shows no signs of stopping as Bethesda releases its first DLC, Dawnguard, about a sect of horrid, bloodthirsty vampires, leeching off an unsuspecting public (this is a metaphor). Some weeks later, the London 2012 Olympic ceremony brings tears to eyes across the land. Unbeknown to us at the time, it would come to be…

Colt’s squishy vulnerability is stopping me from enjoying Deathloop’s action

September 29, 2021RockPaperShotgun

Let’s try action. Let’s try action. Let’s try action. This is the Deathloop I’m in at the moment, but I’m slowly beginning to think it’s worth breaking the cycle and taking the stealthy approach as often as I can. I’m confused, you see. In many of the game’s pre-release teasers, we saw Colt bursting into action. Stealth? No no, this is more of an FPS. The music flares, enemies die, it is carnage. But when I actually give action a go in the game, I’m mostly left dead in seconds. Either that, or I meekly duck behind some cover and…

Deathloop review: a thrilling, slick adventure – and Arkane’s best game yet

September 13, 2021VG247

At the heart of Deathloop in both narrative and video game terms is the titular loop. One might argue that Arkane Studios has embraced something of a loop itself, too. There’s a certain type of game they make, a certain feel that ties together Dishonored, Prey, and now Deathloop. Like this game’s lead, Arkane has forged a new path with a canny combination of repetition and experimentation; repeating and refining many of the mechanics and ideas that made their past games great, while introducing new concepts that serve to elevate the game as a whole. Like I said, chief among…

In-game images of Arkane Austin’s co-op vampire game Redfall have leaked online

September 11, 2021VG247

Someone somewhere isn’t happy about this. It seems someone has either gotten their hands on Redfall or found some images of it and posted the lot online. The in-game images of Redfall apparently show an early version of the game, so it’s worth noting you aren’t seeing a finished product. Looking over the images, it appears the game will have some looter shooter elements, a skill tree, ultimate abilities, tiered weapons, different characters, and more. We won’t post the images here, but you can look them over for yourself on Twitter and Imgur. While not much is known about the…

Starfield offers look at three in-game locations

Today, we get introduced to three of the main locations in Starfield. Bethesda has dropped three brief teasers for Starfield, each focusing on one of the unique locations in its game world. The videos are less than a minute each, and they show concept art of three major places. Each one is accompanied by commentary from design director Emil Pagliarulo, who offers a little background into their creation. The first shows a first look at New Atlantis, the capital city port of the United Colonies – the game’s most powerful military and political faction. New Atlantis is home to many…

If you click on a link and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. Read our editorial policy. Dorrani plays through the first three levels of new Quake on PC. What does he make of it? Quake is a classic of the FPS genre, or so I’m told. I’ll be honest with you and say that it’s not a game I’m familiar with, partly because I was only a baby aged one when this game came out back in 1996. I am a huge FPS fan, though, these days spending a lot of hours on Apex Legends, and…

Deathloop: release date, pre-orders, gameplay, and more

July 23, 2021VG247

Deathloop – Arkane Studios’ new project about an assassin in a time loop – promises an action-packed adventure of creative kills and thrills. Colt wakes up every day from the same spot on Blackreef Island, whether it’s the end of the day or the end of his life. He and the eight Visionaries seem to be the only ones who realize that the island is in Groundhog Day mode.To break out of the loop, Colt has to kill the Visionaries — a plan that they don’t seem to approve of. The Visionaries order islanders to kill Colt on sight. Julianna, a…
