‘Fallout’ Lands in Sin City This Fall

By Dena Cassella Published February 4, 2010

Publisher Bethesda Softworks announced today that Obsidian Entertainment’s Fallout: New Vegas will be part of this year’s fall video game lineup. The new title will be released for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 this fall. The company says that Fallout: New Vegas is intended as a follow-up to 2008’s critically-acclaimed Fallout 3, and sets players in post-apocalyptic Las Vegas—which from this teaser trailer this one kind of looks like a nice mix of Wall-E and Terminator Salvation, but Las Vegas-style.

Bethesda didn’t reveal any additional details, but we’re expecting to hear some more soon—it’s just another game to get excited for this year.

Anthropic cracks down on video game cloning with new Claude restrictions

Claude can still help develop original games, but copying existing titles is now off the table.

AI has been making its way into video game development for a while now, but the recent developments have started raising some serious concerns. Popular games are being reverse-engineered with AI assistance, recreated for web browsers, and made playable on platforms they were never released for. Between all that, indie developers have started pulling down their demos over fears of getting copied. Anthropic has now stepped in with new restrictions for Claude Code.

The change was first spotted on X and subsequently confirmed by Anthropic's Addy Osmani. The new instructions prevent Claude from recreating specific existing games, even if they are renamed or presented as original projects. Users can still make original games, work on games within a genre, and use their own designs and assets.
