Former Bethesda Game Tester Once Broke Fallout 4 So Completely The 'Entire Zenimax Media Company' Was Sent Email Blasts Saying 'Somebody Found 4 Crashes In a Single Morning'

Image
Former Bethesda game tester Colin McInerney once discovered so many crashes in Fallout 4 that the entire organization received emails saying, "somebody found four crashes in a single morning." McInerney, now at Am I Your Beast developer Strange Scaffold, worked at Bethesda as a games tester during college, and said that even then, his "approach shifted out of the publisher side and into the dev side." "I was working with the Bethesda developers and learning s*** from them directly and working on weirder stuff," McInerney told GamesRadar+ . "At one point, I just decided to play hot and cold with the RAM because we were on Xbox One. The Xbox One has 8GB of RAM, so if you get above that, the game's going to crash. So I brought up a RAM readout and was just like, how can I break this? That thought occurring to me, no one else was doing that. That isn't a standard testing practice of, how can I leak memory from the game?" McInerney add...

'This is Free And I Still Don't Want It': Tomb Raider Remastered I-III Fans Slam Outfits Provided in Free Update 

Image
Tomb Raider fans have slammed Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered 's latest patch and outfits, claiming they "can't accept this level of quality." While most fans were pretty excited by the new challenge mode and collectible outfits, within hours of last week's free patch going live , fans flooded social media to share images of "Melting sunglasses, clipping accessories, pixelated and squiggly textures, nonsensical AI slop symbols, and painted on straps and details instead of 3D ones." Said one fan: "I'm sorry, but even if it's free this is nowhere near acceptable." "The saddest thing is that modders have used their free time to create much better looking outfits," wrote one unhappy player. "Questionable styles aside, these outfits are terrible quality and I can’t believe they’re an 'official' part of the game. My first reaction to seeing complaints was 'how bad can it be, it’s free, I’ll just ignore the outfits...

Resident Evil Requiem Now the Series' Fastest-Selling Game Ever, as It Passes New Sales Milestone

Image
Resident Evil Requiem has now sold six million copies, making it the fastest-selling instalment of the horror game since it all kicked off in Raccoon City thirty years ago. We already knew that the latest mainline Resident Evil game had sold five copies within five days (causing some stock issues for physical copies ), and now — just a few days after that announcement — publisher Capcom has added another million to the tally. The publisher said that going forward, it plans to "implement several measures," including "ongoing support and additional game content so players can continue to enjoy the title longer." We also learned last week that we're getting a major story expansion for the game , the addition of a "mini game" in May, and the upcoming arrival of a photo mode. On top of that, we'll also get to see what Capcom has up its sleeve to celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary on March 22, 2026, including a collaboration between U...

Slay the Spire 2 Early Access Review

Image
The fact that Slay the Spire 2's Early Access debut plays so similarly to the groundbreaking original deckbuilding roguelike makes this one of the easiest recommendations I've ever given. If you never played it, you're missing out and should jump into its turn-based combat immediately if the concept is remotely appealing to you; if you've sunk 1,000-plus hours into the original like I have, the sequel's new character classes and extensive reworking of the founding trio make going up against its even tougher bosses feel refreshed and less predictable. On top of that, the novel co-op mode gives us a new way to play and share all the thrilling highs and tragic lows of a great run. It may not be the most ambitious sequel when it comes to reinvention, but this is an excellent reinvigoration of a brilliant game. After a week of playing, I've now clocked a little over 43 hours of Slay the Spire 2 and have completed full, three-act runs as each of its five classes – ...
