The post-apocalyptic wastelands of Boston are a very unwelcoming place, but luckily in Fallout 4 you won’t have to roam them all by yourself. Bethesda is bringing back a number of beloved companions and throwing some new ones in the mix as well. As you may have already seen in the debut trailer, one of your companions will be a German Shepard, but this is no ordinary dog mind you. Bethesda confirmed that Dogmeat is making a comeback in Fallout 4 and that the German Shepard we’ve seen in the trailer is, in fact, him.

If you’ve played any of the previous games then I’m sure you’re already familiar with the canine companion. If you haven’t played any previous Fallout games, first off shame on you, and secondly, just know that Dogmeat has been around ever since the original 1997 title and is seen by many as the most popular companion in the series. That said, the Dogmeat we saw in Fallout 3 was actually not the same as the one from the first two titles. Likewise, Fallout 4 is introducing a brand incarnation of Dogmeat and this time around, the people over at Bethesda decided to make him immortal.

In addition to Dogmeat, gamers will also be able to choose among a number of other companions that include both human and non-human NPCs. We don’t have a complete list of companions just yet, but Bethesda did mention that Mister Handy, Piper and Preston Garvey will be three of them. The company also revealed that Fallout 4 is all about love and that players can pursue romantic relationships with any human companions regardless of gender. So, same-sex relationships for Fallout 4 confirmed? Sure seems like it.

As for Dogmeat, you won’t be able to romance (I think) the animal, but if you want to learn more about this timeless companion you can check out the new Fallout 4 behind the scenes video below. Whereas in Fallout 3 Dogmeat was inspired by Max Rockatansky’s Blue Heeler from Mad Max 2, for the sequel Bethesda looked at Lead Level Designer Joel Burgess’ German Shepherd, River, as a source of inspiration.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
