The Axis Unseen is an upcoming horror game where players hunt different monsters that can only be heard of in stories that come from different parts of the world. The game comes from one of the former Fallout developers, Nate Purkeypile.
His latest creation promises to be a unique experience. This is not because of a story on its own, but because the game will feature three things every game needs to start including. These can’t be found in modern Aaa titles, but Purkeypile promises it will revolutionize indie games.
The Axis Unseen is your next Anti-Greed Game and Here is Why The Axis Unseen features creatures from folklore.
Recently, Purkeypile took to X (formerly Twitter) with a few more details on his upcoming The Axis Unseen video game. In his post, the former Fallout developer said that his video game will come with several features that have become increasingly rare: no internet required,...

The Fallout series is one of the most popular RPG series of all time, and it has also propelled Bethesda to new heights. After the last game in the video game series was a letdown for most fans, the next title is rumored to be released after a long wait.
Until then, fans can check out other unconventional experiences in the series. Fans of the IP are currently developing one such experience. Fans are remaking Fallout 2 from a first-person perspective, and there are already over 100 people working on it.

The funniest thing about Prime Video’s recent Fallout TV show was just how shocked was everyone by its immediate overwhelming popularity, including its creators, actors, the franchise’s Og fans, and the platform’s top management. No one expected Fallout to work miracles, but they still made the series with great care and love and meticulous attention to detail — and it turned out to be a huge hit.
Fallout was renewed for Season 2 only three days after Season 1’s premiere, and we already have an amazing update: the next part might be closer than we thought.

Watch Dogs, a video game franchise from Ubisoft, follows the story of skilled hackers who make use of complex technology to fend off oppressive forces trying to control major cities around the globe. Ubisoft’s action-adventure franchise has managed to captivate gamers with an appropriate portrayal of hacking culture and underground networks. The studio even had a film adaptation planned, but it ended up being stuck in development hell.
However, it seems like the Watch Dogs film adaptation is finally gearing up. The Robin Hood star, Tom Blyth, has now joined the film cast. While this has undoubtedly caused massive excitement among fans, many point towards the failure of the Assassin’s Creed movie series and believe that we shouldn’t even bother hyping up.

There’s no doubt that Obsidian Entertainment’s upcoming title, Avowed, is one of the most highly anticipated fantasy RPGs. The game is set in the same universe as Obsiain’s Pillars of Eternity series and takes players to the Living Lands, where they are tasked with unraveling a mysterious plague that has wreaked the realm.
Reports suggest that the Avowed will be featured in the upcoming Xbox Games Showcase. While Obsidian has already been generous with the content and features revealed for Avowed so far, there may be even more in store, with the gaming bringing one of the most popular features from Fallout and cranking it to the next level.

Jeremy Renner wanted to Rennervate the script for “Mission: Impossible — Fallout” after realizing his character was going to be killed off.
During an appearance on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast (video below), Renner revealed that he turned down reprising his role of Imf agent William Brandt for the 2018 franchise installment. Renner was asked to film for one week to close out Brandt’s “M:i” arc after he starred in 2011’s “Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol” and 2015’s “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation.”
“I remember they tried to bring me over[seas] for a week so they could kill my character, and I was like, ‘No, you don’t get to do that. You’re not going to drag me over there and just kill my character,’ like get out of here!” Renner said. “If you’re going to do this and you’re going to use my character, you’re going to do it right.

Jeremy Renner’s William Brandt was a bad*ss Imf agent introduced in Tom Cruise’s fourth film, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Renner reprised his role in the next movie, Rogue Nation, and was even rumored to take over the series from Cruise. However, he left the series right before the sixth film and it may have to do with one of the ideas from director Christopher McQuarrie.

“Baby Reindeer” was among the winners at the first-ever Gotham TV Awards on Tuesday evening, taking home the prize for breakthrough limited series.
“I never thought in a million years that this dark, weird, messed up show would have brought in this universal love that it’s received,” said Richard Gadd, the show’s creator and star, in his acceptance speech. He also thanked Netflix, his team and his mom and dad for “messing [him] up enough to make [him] an artist.”
Gadd went on to say, “It’s kind of weird also that a show as messed up as this has gone on to strike a chord with so many people. I think it speaks to the fact that a lot of people in the world are struggling right now. And I don’t know much in the way of advice, but I do know that nothing lasts forever.

Thanks to the success of the Prime Video Fallout series, the franchise has encountered a new level of popularity that it has never achieved. The Bethesda IP has inspired gamers to come up with novel ideas for a game spinoff that could work. A Reddit user posted an idea for a Fallout Tactics game that could feature Xcom-like gameplay.
The user even suggested that The Coalition from Xbox should lead this potential project. This studio has already worked on a similar title, Gears Tactics, and the team has the experience to make this game.

Fallout launched two months ago with a big question hovering over it — could another postapocalyptic streaming drama based on a video game also become a hit after the success of HBO’s The Last of Us? Any doubts were quickly erased, with Fallout racking up a 92 percent average positive review score on Rotten Tomatoes and breaking Prime Video streaming records with its sprawling tale of three very different survivors (played by Ella Purnell, Aaron Clifton Moten and Walton Goggins) navigating a nuclear wasteland amid moments of graphic violence and off-beat humor.
“The popularity of the show is an immense surprise,” showrunner Graham Wagner said during a recent THR Presents panel, powered by Vision Media. “We didn’t make this show for everyone. We made it for ourselves, and that was, an important part of approach. But you never know how that’s going to go.”

Months before the highly anticipated third season of “Hacks” premiered, Gold Derby’s thousands of 2024 Emmy predictors collectively agreed that it poses the biggest threat to defending Best Comedy Series champion “The Bear.” As the Max series’ latest batch of episodes dropped throughout May, its standing in the main race steadily improved, with its well-received finale triggering noticeable boosts in multiple categories.
Over the past week, the share of top Best Comedy Series votes held by “The Bear” decreased by 1.2%, while that of “Hacks” grew by the same amount. Although the two programs remain separated by nearly 80 percentage points, it speaks volumes that “Hacks” is at least 1.5 points ahead of every other contender.
After simultaneously running second in their respective races for several weeks, lead and supporting “Hacks” actresses Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are now closer than ever to toppling frontrunners Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”) and Meryl Streep...

Jeremy Renner has revealed that he was asked to appear in 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout but refused when he found out his character was going to be killed off.
Long time appreciators of the Mission: Impossible franchise will probably remember that Jeremy Renner had a prominent role alongside Tom Cruise in two movies before mysteriously vanishing around the middle of the 2010s.
It turns out there’s a good reason for this: having previously appeared in 2011’s Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and 2015’s Rogue Nation, Renner was invited to return as globe-trotting agent William Brandt for a third time in 2018’s Fallout. Then the actor discovered that the film’s plot would see his character killed off after just a few scenes, and so he flatly refused to appear.

Robert Downey Jr. led the Avengers in the Infinity Saga as Tony Stark/ Iron Man for a decade. Following his introduction in Iron Man, he slowly assembled the original six Avengers with the help of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, Hawkeye, and Iron Man would assemble for the first time in 2012’s The Avengers.

Since then, Iron Man and Black Widow sacrificed themselves for the greater good, while Hulk, Thor, and Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye have gone on their own adventures post-Endgame. With audiences clamoring for a reunion of them in some way, Renner really wants it to happen down the line.

“Let’s not make ’em laugh” seems to be the new mantra for rewarding comedies at the Emmys.
Clear-cut, humor-filled chuckle fests once dominated the Emmys for comedy series, with classics such as “Taxi,” “The Golden Girls,” “Friends” and “Seinfeld” amusing generations of fans and finding new life via reruns and streaming services.
However, at the dawn of the streaming era, the multi-pronged so-called dramedy began creeping up in the awards circle with titles such as Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black” — which famously changed from comedy to drama — and Amazon Prime Video’s “Transparent.” As of late, the category has taken a more serious turn.
In recent years, the nominees and winners for comedy series have reflected a broader, more inclusive interpretation of comedy. Shows like Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Fleabag,” along with HBO’s “Barry” and Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” have garnered critical...

The source of Maximus’ genuine excitement, his new master quickly proved to be an egotistical pathetic cretin who enjoyed humiliating others and cared little for his noble quest.
Knight Titus was more than willing to use his squire as a meat shield and then, after failing to defeat a Yao Guai in full power armor, put the blame on him.

While unnamed, this pathetic creature deserves no empathy and was definitely a vile person.

Prime Video’s Fallout TV show expanded the franchise’s lore in many ways, but the apparent fall of the Ncr is among the most major ones. Some Og fans didn’t like this decision, but seeing that the series is officially canon, there’s little to nothing we can do — except for resenting how we weren’t told the reasons for the Ncr’s fall.
Except that we were… Just in a really subtle and unexpected way.

Transitioning that experience into a cinematic storytelling form is no easy task, but this season has seen more than a few production designers square up to the challenge.
Fallout takes some visual models from the Bethesda game series for an entirely new story, Halo grounds the sci-fi game universe with real world architecture, and although The Witcher exists as a video game series, the Netflix series version focuses on finding depth in Andrzej Sapkowski’s original fantasy novels.

The popularity of the Fallout franchise is currently riding the crest of a wave following the hugely popular Prime series. This has increased sales for titles, with many fans re-visiting various games for a renewed adventure in the wastelands. To say that Bethesda are joyfully rubbing its hands may be an understatement.
Given the popularity of the franchise and its impressive array of supporting characters, it is perhaps no surprise to see modders adapting them into other titles. It’s nothing new to see this happen; they can have varying degrees of success. However, it is the Fallout Mod which has been adapted for another popular franchise that has surprised many fans

The Mad Max franchise is unarguably one of the most popular action franchises of all time, created by mastermind George Miller. While the star power connected to it — which includes notable names like Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, and Mel Gibson — is one factor behind its epic success, its breathtaking action sequences and stunt scenes further set the saga apart from every other.

That being said, in the highest-rated critically commended movie from Gibson’s original trilogy, i.e. Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, there is a very brutal yet one of the most memorable stunt scenes that could have even resulted in the actor being taken down to surgery. In fact, that scene was brutal enough to rival even Tom Cruise’s ankle-breaking scene in Mission: Impossible – Fallout!

There is a highly anticipated title called Trench Tales is knocking on the door, which might give you Helldivers 2 and Fallout vibes. Helldivers 2 is known for its chaotic gameplay, and Fallout is based on a post-apocalyptic setup, decades after a horrifying nuclear war.
This upcoming title is also going to be something like this, as it is set on the aesthetics of WWI and WWII, but in an alternative world with a horror touch. There is no confirmed release date for the game, but by looking at the trailer, the game looks quite promising.

In the past few years, Invincible has elevated the superhero genre as the animated TV Series has decided to take a different approach from Marvel and DC animated shows. The series features memorable characters such as Omni Man, Invincible, Atom Eve, Allen the Alien, and many more. Moreover, the show makes the plot interesting with an engrossing storyline.

10. A Collectable Guns & Bullets Magazine
Starting from Episode 1, Fallout started throwing countless Easter eggs at the franchise’s Og fans to establish connection, but some were subtler than others.
For instance, as Maximus visits his friend Dane in the medical tent, the latter is reading a Guns & Bullets magazine — a rare and very useful collectible item from Fallout 4.
9. Kid in a Fridge Is an Indiana Jones Reference
There are two sides to Maximus’ infamous flashback scene. Obviously, his being a kid in a fridge is a direct reference to Fallout 4’s quest that’s literally called “Kid in a Fridge” — but it’s also a nod at Indiana Jones’ notorious technique for escaping a nuclear explosion: the legendary adventurer and archeologist also hid in a fridge.

Bethesda’s Fallout 76 recently achieved a huge milestone by reaching the 20 million player mark. The major contributor to this success was the Fallout TV series, which began airing on April 10th earlier this year.
After the major achievement, Director Todd Howard gave an interview in which he talked about the future games and even the future of the show. He teased that the Fallout TV series will follow the new characters as they still have stories to tell.

The current Major Order in Helldivers 2 is testing players to their limits but the community is not ready to give up. Players have been ordered to destroy Meridia by injecting Dark Fluid into its core but it’s not as easy as it sounds. With a Terminid Supercolony residing on the planet, there is no limit to the number of enemies that spawn on the battlefield. It’s a tough fight, but Helldivers are having the time of their lives.
Helldivers 2 (via Arrowhead Game Studios)
Players have shared their experiences on the Helldivers 2 subreddit and it’s safe to say this has been one of the most entertaining Major Orders. There are many theories that claim Super Earth is making a huge mistake by completely destroying Meridia as it would trigger the Illuminate invasion.

Walton Goggins was heavily praised for his portrayal of The Ghoul in Amazon Prime’s Fallout series, but behind the exceptional delivery was an anxious actor who believed he wouldn’t be able to give justice to the character.

From its actors to the franchise’s old-school fans, everyone was surprised and delighted by just how sensationally Prime Video’s Fallout blew up. The new post-apocalyptic show managed to please the Og video game fans as well as attract millions of new viewers, building upon the pre-existing world and making it more vibrant, lively, and prominent than ever before.
Fallout was renewed for Season 2 just a couple of days after its premiere, and we’re very excited to learn more about it… Thankfully, Walton Goggins is willing to share!
The Ghoul Star Says S1 Left Many Doors Open
Fallout Season 1 might have felt overwhelmingly massive for new Vault Dwellers, but as Og fans, we see just how much it didn’t cover. Don’t get us wrong: it didn’t need to as it followed one particular story — and yet, there’s much more still to show than what we’ve already seen.

After “Bridgerton” dominated the top three spots on Luminate’s streaming rankings last week, the only TV title that could rival it was a complete change of pace from the high production value Regency-era drama: “Tires,” Shane Gillis’ self-funded half-hour comedy that premiered on May 23.
“Bridgerton” Season 3 of course still took the No. 1 position with 766.8 million minutes watched in its second full week of availability, coming out to an estimated 3.7 million views when divided by the 220-minute runtime of the four currently available episodes.
But “Tires” beat Season 1 and 2 of “Bridgerton,” landing at No. 2 with 447.8 million minutes watched. Divided by its 135-minute runtime, that translates to 3.3 million views — not far behind “Bridgerton” Season 3 at all. Season 2 took third place place with 394.2 million minutes watched while Season 1 took fourth place with 391.6 million minutes watched.
“Jurassic World: Chaos Theory” had its chart debut at No. 5 with 298.1 million minutes watched in its first week of availability.

Prior to the immense success of television shows like "The Last of Us" and "Fallout," many audiences felt that video game adaptations were cursed. There were plenty of quick cash grabs and bizarre attempts at movie adaptations that just didn't work throughout the years, but one secret standout is the 2006 Christophe Gans film "Silent Hill." Based on the Konami video game series of the same name, "Silent Hill" follows a mother (Radha Mitchell) who goes into the uniquely haunted town of Silent Hill to try and rescue her adopted daughter, Heather (Jodelle Ferland). While the film isn't super accurate to the story from the games, it does capture the mood and some of the themes and completely nails the aesthetic, which can be half the battle with video game titles as visually recognizable as "Silent Hill." There's just nothing quite like its grungy industrial meat locker vibe and its delightfully disturbing monsters,...

There was once a time when Xbox was hailed for its exclusives compared to its competition. In the 2000s, we saw the release of Halo, Gears, and Forza games, which defined an entire generation of gamers and changed how we played games. However, something happened in the 2010s, and Xbox’s quality of first-party titles took a massive nosedive.
Xbox’s slump of bad exclusives didn’t end with Series S/X either, and it worsened. In response, Microsoft started buying studios, left and right, and assembling new teams to work on major console-exclusive games for the Xbox family of consoles. 2024 was supposed to be our first look at how Xbox exclusives have improved, and it seems like we’re in for a rollercoaster yet again.

Since the days of finger painting stories on cave walls, storytellers have known the secret of telling a quality fable. If your characters have flaws, they will resonate, even the villains.
One-dimensional characters just don't cut it, even if they're relegated to a distant, supporting role.
Some pundits are decrying the use of the deeply flawed character as an overdone trope that should die an ignominious death.
Yet, here we are, with the most acutely compromised characters reigning supreme on our TV screens and reverberating throughout our social interactions.

Fallout 76 has recently surpassed a major milestone by reaching the 20 million players mark, 6 years after its release. The main factor in Bethesda’s success was the Fallout TV show, which began airing on April 10th earlier this year. Due to the popularity of the show, both old and new players were captivated by the intriguing lore of the Fallout world.
After the milestone’s announcement, Director Todd Howard gave an interview expressing how this was an unexpected turn of events. However, he also teased that the studio might have been working on multiple Fallout projects.

Science fiction and fantasy have inspired dozens of great television scores through the years, from “Battlestar Galactica” to “Game of Thrones.” Three more streaming series continued that tradition this season: “Silo,” “Fallout” and “3 Body Problem.”
Atli Örvarsson’s music for “Silo,” the Apple TV+ dystopian drama set in a bleak future where everyone lives in underground silos, was initially inspired by the setting. “It’s a mechanized world,” he says. “The technology you see is very, very old; the computers look like they’re from the ’80s, so there was always this idea that even the electronic sounds should be primitive, not slick.”
So he relied on Korg and Moog synthesizers from earlier eras, along with an unusual keyboard: the magnetic resonator piano, which uses electromagnets to create unusual sounds from the strings inside the instrument. “There’s a steampunk feel to the design of the show, and this is the ultimate steampunk instrument,...

Bethesda Studio announced on May 30th that Fallout 76 has surpassed a huge milestone. The game crossed the 20 million players mark which is huge, and an achievement not even the popular game The Last of Us was able to achieve.
In today’s gaming industry, where competition is very fierce and players have a plethora of games to try out, this achievement is remarkable. But what made it even more impressive was not just the number, but the context of how they got to this stage.

If you've watched any of the biggest television series over the last several years, from "Stranger Things" to "Shōgun" to Marvel's "Secret Invasion", you're likely all too aware of one of the biggest debates forever raging among nerds like us: What's the best way to experience the major water-cooler shows commonly considered to be "appointment viewing"? Is the binge model popularized by Netflix the way to approach things, in which viewers are able to spend a whole weekend devouring every episode of an entire season all in one go? Or is it better to exercise a little patience and release episodes one at a time in weekly installments, allowing word-of-mouth momentum to build while keeping the entire production at the center of the cultural conversation for much, much longer? (Or, perhaps, we can have the best of both worlds through "Hacks.")

Charlie Hunnam is set to make a return to series television. The former Sons of Anarchy star is set to play the lead in Prime Video’s highly anticipated Criminal, which is based on a series of graphic novels by Ed Brubaker. The series returns Hunnam to the world of organized crime, a genre that’s paid nice dividends for him in between Sons of Anarchy and The Gentlemen. According to Deadline, Hunnam is set to play the lead, “Leo, a brilliant master thief who sees all the angles, and specializes in plans with no guns and no violence. Like a chess player, Leo thinks three moves ahead. Other crooks think he’s a coward, especially compared to his father Tommy, who went to jail for murdering the most feared man in the city, Teeg Lawless.”

Bluey-mania continues.
The Disney+ series was at the top of Nielsen’s streaming charts with nearly 1.2B minutes viewed from April 29 to May 5. The new episodes that dropped the week prior surely gave it a boost, but Bluey is a mainstay on this list, racking up over a billion minutes pretty frequently.
In fact, Nielsen points out that Bluey has been in the overall Top 10 for well over a year now, and this marks its fourth time at No. 1.
It should also not surprise anyone that Grey’s Anatomy came in second place with around 1.1B minutes viewed. It’s unclear what is prompting this resurgence in the medical drama, since it’s been available on both Hulu and Netflix for quite a while.
Fallout fell to third place this week but still posted over a billion minutes viewed, which is quite impressive for the eight-episode Amazon series. It was No.
