First Fallout 76 Raid Coming Next Month And It's "Very Challenging"

Bethesda has revealed that Fallout 76 will get its first four-player raid next month. During a Fallout 76 QuakeCon 2019 panel (go to around 13:15), the future of the multiplayer-focused RPG was discussed--including the launch of the Vault 94 raid.

"We are finalizing the first Vault, which is Vault 94," Fallout 76 development director Chris Mayer said. "It's a pretty expansive Vault. We do think it will be very challenging. I, myself, have been challenged in the playtest--many times--trying to get to the end of it. I think some of the rewards are really cool. Some of them might actually help you hide a little better in the environment."

Mayer followed up by saying Vault 94 should release in "the next few weeks," barring "something really major or unforeseen." Fallout 76 project lead Jeff Gardner added that it would be "definitely August." According to a tweet, August 20 is the specific date.

"The Vaults are designed for four players, but you can solo, duo, or triple them if you're a masochist," Gardner said. "They're super hard. When you go in, you get to choose one of three different difficulty levels. The first one is called Novice, and when you go in, it's still very difficult--don't get me wrong--but it's probably a good way to get used to the Vault and the puzzles and how to handle it. It's very puzzle-based. You have to figure out the right blend and balance between taking down mobs and opening doors and doing different things. The second two levels add a time pressure. There's internal time pressure, from minute-to-minute, but this is a meta time pressure where you have to do the whole [raid] within a certain amount of time."

Like the previous Fallout 76 expansions, these raids will be free for all players. And after the Vault 94 raid releases, it seems like players won't have to wait very long for the follow up Vault 96. "We are [currently developing] the second Vault," Gardner said. "We don't know when it's coming out exactly but it will be in the not too distant future. And it depends on the community. If you like these and you want us to build more then we'll keep building them."

"We do want to space out the release enough that we can get feedback on Vault 94 and then act on it with Vault 96," Mayer added.

Fallout 76 is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been...
