imagine if you will.......Fallout 4

[Metalchair]

No

 

[AlphaOmega]

i hope they keep FPS in the next one, Fallout 1&2 were crap, they new fallout is set in vegas

And thus another kitten was killed by god.

 

[Castigar0]

im sorry but it was gay how you had to have actions points to fight, and i have Fallout 1,2,3 and tactics, so i have sampled nearly all of them, and my favourite is the third, but 1 & 2 were great compared to other games in it's time. My father is a huge fallout fan, and his favourite is the third

 

[hem dazon 90]

i heard they're making a new one called fallout: new vegas, so im assuming they're planning on making it take place in las vegas

o rly!
sorry couldn't resist anyway why do all fallout fanboys hate fallout 3 and bethesda?
fallout 3 was a really good game and it captured the feel of post nuclear apocalyptic wasteland really well.
anyway new vegas isn't being made by bethesda

Because they took the game and made it into something it's not, it's an FPS. It didn't capture the feel at all, they have robots, they have a reliable source of food enough to feed cities without any visible agriculture or food sources.

The choice system is very simple, the customisability is empty, even with all the sliding customisation bars, you can't make a mentally retarded brute who can't speak by giving him 1 intelligence, and you can't give your character a back-story seeing as you play it out in that dull mess known as childhood.

If they'd renamed it and every other thing in the game and called it "Futureblivion" then I would accept it as a good game, but it doesn't deserve to be a part of the Fallout franchise, or it could have at least not put the number on the end. that number means it's officially a direct sequel, rather than a spin-off like Tactics.

I understand that Bethesda was trying to appeal to a mass audience, and a lot of people enjoy it, but by doing that they took out a lot of the depth and complexity that Fallout was MEANT to be, and giving us a shallow FPS with the illusion of choice.

Fallout 4? Bring back Chris Avellone and make it all good again.

(Oh, and flame away, I realize that this was a biased and fan-boyish comment, but dammit, I think I'm entitled to it after playing through that game thoroughly just so nobody can say I didn't give it a chance)

their can be a truce between FPS and RPG just look at deus ex the greatest game ever

 

[hem dazon 90]

oh wait I got ann idea, no karma system. they are never done well. so just do a deus ex-stlye choice system where some people will hate you for doing this while others hate you for doing that


oh yeah and bring back the porn star and hooker jobs I created a female charachter for that and black widow only

 

[Kajt]

Screw New York! I want to be chased by giant mutated reindeer's and moose's in Sweden, Norway and Finland!

Was Bethesda going to make that, though? Seems to me I heard that the original Fallout company (whose name I have shamelessly forgotten now) was doing FO:NV.

Black Isle or interplay, One of those. I can't remember who.

 

[UnearthedArcana]

It's likely to be running on Bethesda's engine, since the official line is that 'It is going to be the same style of game as Fallout 3'. Assuming they actually bother to QA test it, I'm really looking forward to it.

 

[Vampire_Hermes]

I'd like to see one set in Europe (or even the UK). I think that'd be cool. Then again, I would, living as I do in England.

 

[Vampire_Hermes]

I don't think VATS is about skill or the lack of it. It's about having a turn-based element alongside the fps stuff.

 

[Ace of Spades]

Put it in a different city, and make more variety in custom weapons. That'd be enough for me.

 

[Vampire_Hermes]

I'd like to see a different international scene explored. Even if it isn't my area, I'd like more insight into the world.

 

[Gerazzi]

I liked all three.
And I can't kill the comparison between John Henry Eden and "The Master".
The only one part of the games I didn't like is that they had switched from a "percent" skill format to a numbered format. It confused me.

Also the ending to Fallout 3 is crap and there is absolutely no reason why you can't send in Charon or Fawkes to put in the code. They're immune to radiation, but apparently they wanted self-sacrifice because in Broken Steel the ending scene is where you are apparently evil because you sent in someone immune to radiation poisoning.

But Fallout 2 is the worst of the series because of all of the pop culture references, they ruined immersion for me.


Fallout 4 needs to return to top down amusement.

There can be a truce yes, but it wasn't very good in Fallout 3. The FPS and RPG elements kind of clunked together roughly, like when you try to put the square block into the circle shaped hole.

And from the comment after the one above, I can tell you have a great respect for women there, bud.

 

[Joshimodo]

Not saying its coming out, just think about it though it takes place in new york this time.
come up with your own ideas for the game, anything just post it in a comment.

Don't have to imagine Fallout 4. Fallout: New Vegas will be out next year made by Obsidian Entertainment. Hopefully it will be akin to something like Knights of the Old Republic. That would be awesome.

It's been announced, I don't need to imagine it.

That's not a sequel. You might want to read up on New Vegas.

London with a 1920s feel.
I want to know what happened in Europe.

That would be awesome, as long as it wasn't in London-The Underground would be even more confusing and annoying than the Metro, though it would still be cool.

I'd like to see a Fallout 3-esque revisit to the West coast, see what has changed. Either that, or Canada.

It's a Fallout game. It is after Fallout 3. It is therefore a sequel.

 

[Joshimodo]

Yeah, because FarCry 2 is really a sequel to FarCry.

Oh wait.

Also:

The title is "just Fallout: New Vegas. No number. It's not a sequel." For those worried this non-numbered expansion would be a party game, fret not. It's "definitely an RPG," according to Bethesda VP Pete Hines. Obsidian Entertainment was founded by Fergus Urquhart who, along with a few other Obsidian guys, worked on the original Fallout. The team was approached by Bethesda and "jumped at the chance" to work on this new title.

Just like Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel wasn't a sequel to the Fallout series. It's a spin-off.
