WC - It’s a pretty exciting time to be a gamer right now.
September will see the release of two of this year’s most talked about Triple A titles, while Sony and Microsoft are preparing to make the leap onto the next generation of consoles this November.
One of this year’s most hyped games, Grand Theft Auto V, is but two short weeks away, while Electronic Arts will release the latest iteration in their football simulation juggernaut series – FIFA 14 – a few weeks later.
As if that wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, the aforementioned PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launch just two months after that, complete with their bells, whistles and fancy gadgetry.
With the release of these new consoles comes a new era of graphical abilities that are sure to stun and astound us just as the capabilities of the PS3 and Xbox 360 knocked us for six all those years ago.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
hahahhahahahahahahahahahaha... ......yeah, i have no thirst for something new. its only been 7-8 years of the same gen.

Not me, I'll be getting a PS4 as soon as I have enough coin to do so...
I've seen the light. No way in the world will I pass it up!
The great thing about keeping your current gen console even if you upgrade is...you can still play it! Dark Souls 2 FTW!
There were great things happened in tis gen like Uncharted but this gen wasn't great as PS1/PS2 eras so I am tired of this gen and I want to move to PS4 as quick as possible.
