"We need to do better in Europe. When I look globally, mainland Europe is definitely an area we want to focus on," Spencer told Edge (via GamesRadar).
"I’m excited about going to Gamescom at the beginning of August, having another press show where we’re able to show games that we didn’t show here," he continued.

Fallout 4 Development Is ‘Basically Done’
Fallout 4 is "basically done," according to Bethesda marketing executive Pete Hines.
As such, it's too late for Bethesda Game Studios to add in any last-minute requests from fans. Right now, the studio is focused on making the game as bug-free and polished as possible before its release this November.
"Let's be honest,
it doesn't matter what anybody wants for a feature in Fallout 4," Hines told GameSpot. "The game is basically done. It was by and large done before we announced it, in terms of the features going in. You're not adding new features in May, June, July in the year you're releasing; you're trying to get everything fixed."

7 X-Men We Want in the Movies
How awesome is it that we’ve seen so many X-Men characters on the big-screen? If you told a comic book reader in 1989 that Apocalypse, Magneto and Psylocke would one-day be on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, they would’ve lost their minds (mostly over the Psylocke part).
After 15 years of being treated to X-Men at the movies -- and a total of seven installments thus far -- we’ve seen some pretty obscure characters get screen-time (we’re looking at you, Angel Salvadore). But we’re not quite satisfied, as there are still some major fan-favorite Muties we’ve yet to see in live-action.
IGN has selected the top seven X-Men we’d still like to see in the movies, with the hope that our wishes will someday come true. Let us know what you think of our choices, and sound off with your own suggestions in the Comments!
