Bethesda exec says bringing ‘Fallout 76’ to the Nintendo Switch isn’t ‘doable’

Don’t expect Fallout 76 to make its way to the Nintendo Switch. Bethesda executive Pete Hines confirmed during a panel at an Australian convention this weekend that while the studio considered bringing the game to the platform, it just “wasn’t doable.” Hines says the Nintendo platform is “part of every conversation” when they develop new games because it is considered a “viable platform” but it seems it wasn’t going to work out this time around. That said, Bethesda has ported a lot of its games to the Switch, including Skyrim, Doom, and Wolfenstein II. While you won’t be able to play Fallout 76 on the Switch, it’ll be coming to the Xbox One, PS4, and PC on November 14^th.

Malware disguises as Google Chrome download link on Microsoft Edge

We already know about the running joke of Microsoft Edge existing so you can download Google Chrome. But apparently Bing is causing a bit of trouble as it is supposedly returning search results that have malware and adware. Twitter user Gabriel Landau discovered this when he was searched “download chrome” on Bing, using the Microsoft Edge browser. He clicked on the first link that was marked as being from “google.com” and leads to a page that looks like the legitimate Google Chrome download page. But upon closer inspection, the URL of the page says “googleonline2018.com.” And if you don’t pay attention, you would think you were downloading the browser’s installer from the legitimate site. It even says you’re downloading “ChromeSetup.exe” when you press on the Download Chrome button. But when checking the file’s properties, it shows that it’s digitally signed by a company named Alpha Criteria, which isn’t Google.

How To Geek investigated the matter and found that the site is marked as a “deceptive site” by Chrome but it isn’t flagged as such by Microsoft Edge and Bing. The big problem here is it seems Bing isn’t checking the URL off the search result, which could make this deception easier to pull off. And it seems an issue like this has happened earlier in the year. Microsoft told How To Geek the fake ad has been taken down and accounts associated with the malicious content have been banned. However, they didn’t give an explanation on why the ad was marked as from “google.com” or that there will be an assurance that this won’t happen again.

Could ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ possibly make its way to VR?

There might be a possibility of this happening, if hints inside the companion app are to be believed. Rockstar Games fan site Rockstar Intel found inside the files for the app multiple parameters that hint the game could make its way to the PC and possibly virtual reality (Oculus, specifically). While this discovery doesn’t necessarily translate to the game making its way to these platforms, it does suggest that Rockstar Games might be considering bringing the game to VR. With Red Dead Redemption 2 being one of the Rockstar’s games to have full first-person support, it won’t be to difficult to imagine the game as a VR game.
