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.

D.O.R.F – Infantry Combat [Trailer]

D.O.R.F is an upcoming indie RTS of the classic nature (think 90s) that I haven’t posted about before. However, I thought it was high time now with their latest trailer that focuses on the infantry aspect – my favorite aspect of any RTS. The trailer showcases their usefulness, how they might be used during play, and how much punishment they can take before the eternal oblivion embraces them. Things are looking good, and it seems tactics might actually be a thing, instead of just right-clicking for the blob to consume everything labeled “enemy”.

The combat actually reminds me of Blitzkrieg, in visual sprites, and animations, including the gameplay. It’s a realistic approach, but with the reins fairly loose to give the poor digital men a fighting chance. Check out the trailer after the jump!

Airborne Rangers – Devlog 2 [AI, ragdolls & destruction]

I made a post about Airborne Rangers back in April this year. It presented the initial announcement trailer that looked very promising. Especially if you are into military simulations like Arma 3, with co-op as the core. Now, the developer team BlowPunch Gameworks has released a devlog in video format that showcases some truly cool stuff. We get an impressive ragdoll/gore system, detailed destructible environments and an AI that actually uses tactics, and looks challenging to defeat.

And with that, my hype has doubled. Could this be the first realistic tactic game in ages – a spiritual sequel to Men of War that will be good? The future will tell, of course, but I will allow myself to feel a little hype. Check out the video for yourself after the jump!

Darkest Hour – The mod that refuses to die!

For those who don’t know, Darkest Hour is a fantastic stand-alone mod based on the classic WW2 shooter Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. That means it’s free to play on Steam if you own that game, and if you don’t, it’s usually crazy cheap to buy. Anyway, the mod creators have once again released a major expansion for their fabulous mod. This time Italy, with plenty of new weapons, maps, and vehicles matching the new campaign. It all looks absolutely stunning. Check out the trailer below for yourself. I’m going to give Darkest Hour a go again, after a long break. Maybe I will see you on the EU servers!
