Elgato is known for making a variety of products that help with content creation and streaming, and many of them now have Fallout editions. First is Stream Deck Fallout Edition, which is available for $150 and models the device after a Pip-Boy. The $100 Wave DX microphone and Wave Mic Arm LP are now also available in the RAD green color scheme heavily associated with the Pip-Boy. Audio interface and mixer Wave XLR has a “design inspired by post-nuclear Americana” and is available for $160.

Elgato x Fallout Limited Edition Drop

Fallout has reentered the mainstream gaming zeitgeist in a strong fashion thanks to getting a show on Amazon Purnell. Starring Ella Purnell, Walton Goggins, and Aaron Moten, the show doesn’t directly adapt a specific game and instead follows the adventures of original characters around Los Angeles and Vault 33. Although video game adaptations have historically been hit-or-miss, Fallout has been well-received by critics and audiences and sits at a 93% average on Rotten Tomatoes. As this show is rolling out, it’s not too surprising that Bethesda is doing more collaborations to bring attention to it as there are no new Fallout games to promote right now.

All eight episodes of Fallout are available to stream on Amazon Prime, while Elgato’s new Fallout Editions of the Stream Deck, Wave DX, Wave Mic Arm LP, and Wave XLR are available to purchase together or as a bundle on the company’s website.

The Alters review: philosophical sci-fi carries this fascinating survival game

We've all had those moments where we lose ourselves in thought, pondering the big "what ifs" of our lives. What if you had followed your childhood dream of becoming a musician? What if you had mustered up the courage to ask out your high school crush? Trying to predict the butterfly effect of those possible scenarios on your life is impossible, but always an interesting thought experiment. The part we tend to focus on in these scenarios is how our choices would change our external circumstances, but rarely do we contemplate how those decisions would have changed who we would become.

That's the exact premise The Alters looks to explore in its high-concept sci-fi survival format. In it, players scour a small map for resources, balancing time and materials against a ticking clock and conflicting goals to please a safehouse full of clones. It doesn't break new ground in its survival loop, but the situations that arise from one man trying to live with a group of alternate versions of himself are more than engaging enough to carry a memorable experience.

Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree is very much Bandai Namco’s Hades
Heroes fight a fire-breathing boss in Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree.

If this year’s Summer Game Fest taught me anything, it’s that Hades is all the rage right now. We saw multiple game last week that took clear inspiration from Supergiant’s hit roguelike with fast-based top-down action. The appeal is so undeniable that even Bandai Namco is jumping on the trend with Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree. Set to launch on September 19, the game puts its own spin on a popular formula with its ink painting-inspired art and colorful cast of characters.

Is that enough to set itself apart in what’s becoming a crowded field? I went hands-on with it at Summer Game Fest to find out, trying out my first 15 minute run (and a second one after an initial defeat). While it won’t fully be able to separate itself from the inevitable Hades comparisons, Towa does include some bright ideas in its two-character combat that makes battles even faster.

Multiplayer returns to the Metal Gear franchise after twelve years

After an absence of 12 years, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is bringing back multiplayer, but Konami cautions fans to expect a completely different experience than the original Metal Gear Online. Announced at Konami's Press Start Live event, the new multiplayer mode titled Fox Hunt is something like hide-and-seek on steroids, with a dash of camouflage thrown in.

According to Yu Sahara, director of the multiplayer aspect, "Fox Hunt is a completely original online multiplayer mode. Although it shares the same world with Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, the gameplay is completely different." That said, he did acknowledge the nostalgia fans have for the original Metal Gear Online. "When we say Metal Gear multiplayer, many fans will probably think of Metal Gear Online, but Fox Hunt will be its own new type of mode. We very much appreciate all the long-time fans of MGO who have always wanted to see it make a comeback, but the landscape of multiplayer games has changed a lot since MGO. It took a lot of careful consideration to think about what a new online mode should look like."
