Fallout: Invasion Of New Vegas [Film]

Yep, time for another movie watch. So, let us travel to the Mojave in Fallout: Invasion Of New Vegas, which is a non-canonical fan-film by DINZHI that depicts the theoretical story continuation of an NCR victory in Fallout: New Vegas. The film doesn’t exactly have a clear protagonist to follow, as it’s more of a war movie, if the Brotherhood of Steel were to invade after the NCR takes the dam. It’s one brutal skirmish after another, with pretty entertaining battle scenes made in Blender and the Unreal 5 engine.

SCP: First Contact [Film]

SCP: First Contact is by now a classic Machinima created by Evan Royalty, which has reached over 7 million views on YouTube. A most impressive achievement! As the title might allude, it’s a film set in the SCP universe—where we have a team of special operatives investigating a strange event in the Yukon territory. For you that have experienced SCP before knows that nothing good will come from this, beyond providing a tension filled horror flick, that is. It’s made in the Grand Theft Auto 5 engine, and what has been created here is nothing short of remarkable—from atmosphere, to story and voice acting. Take a look for yourself, down below (if you dare).

The Complete Project Zomboid Lore Story [Film]

Say, how about a full feature zombie outbreak mock documentary in the world of Project Zomboid? It has everything from the initial conspiracy, to the failed evacuation of Muldraugh—so prepare your behind for a full bloody undead disaster time-line. I found it very amusing that Spiffo, the cute mascot, is implied to be part of the outbreak—at least the owners of the logo. I doubt this is canon in any way, but it works as any other explanation for the outbreak.

The creators (Undead Captures) made the film in a first-person camera view, in a low-poly visual style that works splendidly to capture the feel of Project Zomboid. Seeing as it actually looks like it could be from the game, but now viewed from a boots-on-the-ground perspective. Overall, everything involved with this fan project is impressive—from the motion capture for the animations, to the story and atmosphere. It feels true to the genre, campy, but still a serious tale from the apocalypse. It was very easy for me to get caught up in the story.

I highly recommend you check out the movie after the jump, especially if you enjoy the zombie genre, and have played Project Zomboid. There’s a lot for fans to recognize!

My Top 10 Saddest Game Cancellations

Being a gamer at heart, the cancellation of a title you follow is truly one of the saddest things that can happen. Most of the time, it involves a slow fade into obscurity until one day you randomly come to think; “whatever happened to this game?”. Then you look it up on google, and are met with the headlines: Name-of-cool-game CANCELLED, everyone involved fired (presumed dead), and studio buried under a mountain of debt!

Recognize it? I sure do, so here are my top 10 saddest game cancellations that I feel were and are a real loss for the gaming community. However, it should be noted that the cancelled projects I picked for this list are games that personally resonated with me. Titles that had my eyes on their development—that for one reason or another were scrapped. It’s not a list of the most objectively important games, or some such, except for me (and maybe you), that is!

You can check out the film after the jump!
