Fallout Operation: Sunburst [Film]

The Fallout franchise once again invites us to watch a fan-made film, made by YouTuber SODAZ. What is cool about Fallout Operation: Sunburst, is that it takes a fascinating event (Battle for HELIOS One) from Fallout: New Vegas that you just heard about and makes a whole war movie out of it. In-game, and lore-wise, it’s a pivotal incident that formed the fate of New Vegas—so it was a pure pleasure to experience this historical event from a gaming perspective. Check out the awesome film after the click, just make sure you prepare yourself for total carnage!

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.

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!

UnderRail 2: Infusion [Lands on Steam]

UnderRail 2: Infusion finally gets a Steam page, which I assume means a release is imminent. With imminent, I mean, five to ten years. Because if it’s something the developer, Stygian Software, are not known for: It’s speed. Jokes aside, the game is looking great. Just check out that juicy trailer (is that ragdoll effects?), and the GIFs presented on the store page. The crafting system looks like something else, both visually and mechanically. I know I’m going to spend a lot of time on that, tweaking my gun until perfect killing potential is achieved. 

What I noticed is that the title got “2” now. I might be behind on the lore here, but I thought Infusion was going to be a spin-off, and not a true sequel. This is new information to me. A sequel comes with somewhat bigger expectations, but I don’t doubt that Stygian is up to the task! Release date is set to “to be announced”, so probably a while out. Yet, it certainly feels closer than before!

Space Scum – Playtest Impression

I got invited to the playtest of Space Scum over Steam and after about two hours of destroying lizard mutants in the desert, I’m ready to give my initial thoughts. But first, it must be said that this version of the game is in a really early alpha stage, filled with bugs a-plenty, and a somewhat stunted AI (according to the devs themselves). However, even for feeling a tad spartan, especially in flair and lore, it shows potential for a nice Battle Brothers romp.
