Microsoft could be on the verge of purchasing Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity and South Park: The Stick of Truth developer, Obsidian Entertainment, according to recent reports.
A Microsoft spokesperson said the company does not comment on speculation, while Obsidian at least took a lighter approach to the news, stating: “Unfortunately, we don’t comment on rumours or speculation other than to say that the Rumours album by Fleetwood Mac still holds up.”
If the deal goes through, it would be the fifth studio this year Microsoft have purchased, following the acquisitions of Ninja Theory (Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice) Playground Games (Forza Horizon series) Undead Labs (State of Decay 2) and Compulsion (We Happy Few). A Kotaku source close to Microsoft is reporting that the company is looking to reinvigorate its PC development, and that Obsidian would be a “perfect fit” for such a task. What do you think of the rumours? Is this a good deal for both parties? Let us know your thoughts below.  2K and Gearbox Software today announced that Borderlands 2 will be getting the virtual reality treatment and landing on PS VR as a single player adventure just before the year is out.

The menus have been updated to accommodate the use of motion controllers and a headset, providing a "new and intuitive way" to manage your inventory.

For the first time in the series, players will be able to drive around in first-person perspective, steering with the joystick and aiming weapons with their headset.

Rumours have been circling today suggesting Nintendo are planning to release a new iteration of their hybrid console sometime next year.
Naturally, with no official confirmation from Nintendo themselves, this is all rumour and speculation for now.
Given the company’s history of releasing revised editions of their consoles – particularly handhelds – it’s certainly a possibility, however. We even came up with a few changes we’d like to see in any future redesign. What changes would you like to see made to the Switch, if any? Let us know below.

“Through Exorder’s development, it was always important to us that it felt like a rewarding experience to our players, regardless of platform, location or time invested,” said Darek Skrzypkowski, CEO, Fat Dog Games. “That’s why we made sure to tear down those common multiplayer barriers to make combat easy and enjoyable for newcomers and veterans alike."
