[00:40] insight into the state of the studios franchises. For starters, Howard New Vegas developer Obsidian Entertainment has a new Fallout project in the works. On top of that, he confirmed two heavily rumored remasters

[00:53] that are officially on the way. Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. No details on the surprise launch of the Oblivion remake, they could release at any Fallout projects are also in the works, seemingly separate from Obsidian's new

[02:04] shared tech pipeline using the studios in-house Creation Engine 3. Hopefully, that speeds development up a bit. But on the bright side, it sounds like Fallout liveaction series to keep them busy with between now and the next mainline entry.

[02:17] Speaking of live action video game adaptations, Prime Video's God of War series has hit a pretty major snag. They need to find a new actor to play Kratos and fast. This news comes by way of TMZ who report that while filming in

[02:29] Vancouver, the show's star Ryan Hurst tore his biceps so severely that it requires surgery and lengthy recovery time. This unfortunately would put the production too far behind schedule. So, Amazon MGM and Sony Pictures have made

[02:41] the difficult call to recast and reshoot his scenes. One major factor here is that Hurst's 12-year-old co-star Callum Vincent, who plays Kratos's son, Atraus, isn't getting any younger. Shooting with child actors can be difficult for a

[05:22] historical management and business sim The Guild Europa 1410. If you don't have politics, you might be better off with Hyper Primate, a game where you play as a monkey with a gun doing parkour. The only thing deadlier than a monkey with a

[05:35] And if you want to be a disease that shoots stuff, take a look at Pathogenic, a 2D twin stick shooter rogike where you play as a parasite waging war on someone's immune system. And finally, on basically everything, there is Moss, the
