As a way of celebrating that influence and promoting his new game, he’s crafted a couple images that give us an idea of what Fallout 4 would look like from the classic isometric camera angle. While Fallout 4 isn’t isometric, Chris Bischoff’s STASIS certainly is....
Bethesda is starting to talk a little bit about the nitty gritty of Fallout 4‘s in-game mechanics. Specifically, they’re talking about how many levels are in the game. An official Bethedsa representative spoke with OXM about how leveling works. Each perk actually has levels in itself.

Bethesda clearly has a lot of faith in the potential success of the upcoming Fallout 4. They think it can be their biggest release ever.

Bethesda’s Pete Hines spoke with MCV about this potential success. “I think this can top Skyrim. It could be our...
Fallout Shelter, Bethesda’s mobile take on the beloved Fallout series, hit iOS this June and Android just last week. Now Bethesda has released an infographic boasting how much time players have spent with the game. It’s a lot, it turns out. We’ve spent about 3,300 years playing the game.

One of the primary tenants of Fallout 4 appears to be the freedom to choose. You’ll be able to choose how you play, how you explore, how you defend and how you build. Heck, you’ll even be able to choose if you do those things at all. Take crafting, for instance. Games Radar spoke with Bethesda’s Pete Hines about whether or not crafting is 100% essential to beating Fallout 4. No. It’s...
For now and into the immediate future, it’s all Fallout 4 for Bethesda. Dual Shockers spoke with Pete Hines, Bethesda Vice President of Marketing, while at gamescom 2015.

If you pre-order Fallout 4 on the PlayStation 4, you’ll be getting a free theme. Don’t get too excited there, friend. The theme is pretty darn lame. It’s a picture. Yep. It’s basically this picture, in fact. I do love that YouTube user MadMoneyBanks actually made sure to capture the video tour of this “theme” in 60fps. You can see his tour, which is mostly him asking for likes and...
If you’re already a member of Loot Crate, you know the drill: every month, you get a themed box of stuff – trinkets, toys, and all kinds of other stuff. A subscription can be hard to justify because it’s hard to say whether you’re going to be a big fan of next month’s crate, but when you know what’s on the way, they can be awesome. Case in point: Loot Crate and Bethesda Softworks are...
