News::Square Enix CEO on not having more yearly games: 'Our cadence is not annual'

Our industry is filled with annual franchises, while others are only released every few years. When you take a look at the IP of Square Enix and how they utilize each one, their frequency falls under the latter.

News::Bethesda's Fallout Anthology comes in a mini-nuke

While you probably already own most of the Fallout games on PC given how routinely they're discounted, here's a cool thing out of QuakeCon 2015. Bethesda is packaging Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition, and Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition inside of a replica Fat Man mini-nuke that makes an "audible bomb sound."

Really? Sounds more like a cash register cha-ching to me.

The Fallout Anthology releases in North America on September 29 and in Europe on October 2. Bethesda assures that there's extra room in the case for November's Fallout 4. Uh huh.

News::The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna is out now

The more time passes since playing The Talos Principle, the more I think it's going to end up on my personal games of the year list. Releasing late last year, it just missed the cut to be considered for 2014, so it will be grouped in with the 2015 games.

Road to Gehenna will help to keep it fresh in my mind for those end of the year considerations. The downloadable content is available today, so publisher Devolver Digital put together this short trailer for it. More story from Tom Jubert and Jonas Kyratzes sounds like a great thing, though I'm a little anxious at the idea of tougher puzzles; some of the puzzles included in the base game were taxing enough.

Today's release is only for the PC version of The Talos Principle. PlayStation 4 players will have to wait until "later this year" to check out Road to Gehenna.

News::Bethesda just announced the Fallout Anthology.

Bethesda just announced the Fallout Anthology. It’s a PC-only collection of every Fallout game that comes in a container that looks like a mini-nuke. It’ll be out at the end of September. War never changes, but buying old games does, apparently.

News::See Fallout, Doom, and lots of computers in these QuakeCon show photos

via GamesRadar - Updates http://ift.tt/1MqlwHT

This Doom chainsaw replica is just begging to slice through that gawking Revenant back there.

The Vault Boy forgives you for letting hundreds of his friends get eaten by radroaches in Fallout Shelter.

This looks like the same huge, interactive Mr. Handy that Bethesda had at E3. It tells jokes and everything!

Here are the beginnings of QuakeCon's massive "bring your own computer" LAN party. They say you could turn off all the lamps and monitors and still find your way by the LED case lighting…

Sleeping bags, luggage, and a desktop tower. Just the essentials.

The Hilton Anatole becomes an air-conditioned ecosystem all its own in the sweltering Dallas summer, and this is the point of no return.

Alienware has a huge, glowing green truck parked on the show floor because of course it does.

Good lord, that's enough Bawls Guarana to kill a herd of elephants. Still, better than the shame of being the first person to fall asleep at a LAN party.

This Doom cosplayer is either about to obliterate someone with a plasma blast or throw one hell of a dance party.

News::Well, Dragon Quest VIII almost looks as good as it did 11 years ago

I'm always down for photo modes. Still, adding a photo quests feature that tasks you with snapping pictures for rewards, in a port of a game that looked a little bit better in 2004? (For reference, it is now 2015)

Well, ok. Still nice to have Dragon Quest VIII on a handheld that's not a cellphone. I hate those things. They are too big, too expensive, and too damn necessary (I was looking to upgrade or perhaps change carrier today).

News::Will you be buying Super Mario Maker?

I'm very interested in seeing how Super Mario Maker will turn out when it debuts on Wii U later this year. While there have been a lot of people vocally supporting the project, I see a lot of indifference towards it. In fact, if I wasn't set to review it come September, I probably wouldn't have picked it up if it weren't for the fact that my wife is really into it, and I generally buy Mario games day one.

There's something about Mario Maker that just doesn't wow me, even though I know that dedicated fans will be making creations for years on end -- creations we will likely be covering on Destructoid. But still, I don't think Nintendo has done enough to really get me excited for it, perhaps due to the fact that it feels rather limited in terms of the source material it draws from (right now only objects from Super Mario Bros., Mario 3, Mario World, and Mario U are set to debut).

If they boasted the inclusion of every asset ever created for Mario, it would be really cool, but for now, I'm cautiously optimistic.

Remasters have become a significant part of the games that are released each year and with a lot of fans embracing them with arms wide open, there isn't much sign of those slowing down anytime soon. It's not just people who haven't played these games before that are picking up remasters, it's also people who want to rediscover them on a new generation.

Here’s an interesting nugget of League of Legends eSports information: GameSpot interviewed a bunch of North American pro players and found that an overwhelming majority would prefer the League Championship Series (LCS) format be changed to best of two games, rather than best of one. I think they all have a point.
