Fallout 4’s been out for a little bit now, not long enough for the shiny newness of its hype to wear off, but certainly long enough for the many players to encounter quite a few bugs. Hey, it is a big open-world Bethesda game after all, they’re kind of known for them.

Anyway, fear not for a patch is incoming soon to fix some of the more common game-breaking issues as well as some that aren’t game-breaking but just strange in that way that only a Bethesda game seems to achieve.

“It’s true that the freedom our games offer you can lead to unintentional consequences that are sometimes bad, when the game combines too many unexpected elements at once,” Bethesda wrote in a post. “Given the scale and complexity of the systems at work, especially when allowing you to build your own settlements, we’re happy that Fallout 4 is our most robust and solid release ever, and we’d like to thank our amazing QA staff who worked as hard as anyone to break the game so we could fix it during development.”

They then did go on to note that even hundreds of testers couldn’t possibly replicate all the bugs that the thousands playing might encounter, and so the patch will come along to fix those common ones that weren’t caught during the development stage.

The patch will release in a beta form sometime during the next week. A full release will be made available later on for all, and Bethesda have told players to expect more smaller updates that are frequent to fix bugs as they are squashed as opposed to fewer bigger updates that flatten many bugs at once. It also means that any issues caused by a previous update can be fixed quicker in the next small update.

After a grueling season of play, the best of the best from both North America and Europe have converged in Atlanta for the Smite Super Regionals. The teams will be competing for their chance to go to the Smite World Championship in January.

Day 1, Tuesday kicked off with matches between the top NA teams with Enemy facing Team Solomid and Cloud9 going up against Cognitive Gaming.

Enemy and TSM were a fairly even match on paper, however Enemy took the series 3-1. At one point, their close teamwork even prompted the announcers to comment that they looked like “the old Team Solomid”. Harsh. With some solid engagements on gold fury and excellent objective secure, Enemy easily moves on to the next round, despite TSM clawing away one win.

Things looked a bit different on the Cloud9/Cognitive side with Cloud9 (the defending world champions) putting their opponents to bed quickly, despite a good back and forth in game 2. Despite their attempt to bring it back, Cognitive still fell with Cloud9 having a massive 40 kills while Cognitive still hovered in the sub-20 range.

That wrapped day 1 of the Super Regionals, with Enemy moving on to face the top seeded EnvyUs and Cloud 9 going on to battle against  number 2 ranked Team Eager. TSM will face Cognitive to determining the winner of the 5th place spot.

Wednesday starts the EU brackets, and it looks to be an interesting set of matches with London Conspiract coming in as the underdogs against Titan, and Paradigm and Dignitas battling it out on the other side.

The Smite Super Regionals will be continuing all week, so if you want to know when and where to catch all the action, check out the full schedule below!

One of the things about big “open-world” space games is that developers can put a lot of effort into the starscapes around the players, sometimes making them works of art in their own right. And even if you’re meant to be flying around scooping salvage, delivering cargo or fighting enemies there are times when you just want to go a little slower and take the time to stare at those wonderful stars right?

For a while players in EVE Online have been asking developers CCP for a first-person perspective so they can do just that. And while it made sense that the game didn’t have one – the players being in a life-supporting pod instead of a cockpit canonly in-game – CCP have added a beta version that’s now in testing.

Currently it’s available in SiSi which is EVE’s test server and there will be an opt-in beta coming to the regular server next month. There’ll also be an orbital camera added which is like the regular one but with a narrower frame of view and a little bit of drift; as well as a tactical camera which leds you detach the cam and pan around.

So far reactions from the community have been mixed. I say as long as it doesn’t interfere with the game’s core, why not?

The weekly UK chart of the most popular games has just been released and to few people’s surprises Bethesda’s new Fallout game is top of the chart.

Fallout 4 released to great fanfare after Bethesda made the gamers wait for years for any sign of its actual existence, and beat out the other new releases of the week to claim top spot. It even surpassed its predecessor New Vegas by having its launch sales at 213% more than the 2010 hit. It also beat out the record for concurrent players on Steam with 470,000 players logged as playing at once and over 1.2 million owners of a copy of the game on day one.

Although full figures of all sales haven’t yet been released, Bethesda did say they’d produced and shipped 12 million copies of the game in preparation for the launch. Let’s hope nowhere ran out of copies.

In an interview Obsidian’s CEO has spoken about a new RPG the company has been working on that is due to be announced soon.

Speaking to GameInformer, Feargus Urquhart said that the game began life as a proposed Xbox One launch title but due to difficulties in realising a vision that both Microsoft and Obsidian could agree on the game was cancelled. That led to the laying off of 40 staff which Urquhart classed as a low point for the studio.

Microsoft had expected the title to “feel like a first-party title”, but Obsidian had trouble nailing down exactly what that actually meant. As well Microsoft apparently put pressure on Obsidian to incorporate launch features of the Xbox One in the game as well as making it a game that people would want to spend the price of the console to get. Eventually the two companies parted ways.

Since then Obsidian have been asking around other publishers and seem to have found a partner to help them release the game, albeit in an altered form. The new project is going to be announced sometime in the new few months.

Any guesses as to what it’ll be like setting-wise? I can only imagine.
