To gamers too young to have played the 1996 original, the excitement--and controversy---surrounding Fallout 3 might be a bit baffling. Now those wondering what all the fuss is about have a chance to play the first Fallout without having to track down a battered copy on eBay.
In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed that he has no plans to retire and reiterated Bethesda's openness to help from other studios.
Oh great, now we have to deal with Anasts Bethesda fetish indefinitely.
Thanks a lot, Todd
"with no plans to retire anytime soon" I mean this is like a common news topic involving his name. Knock it off and do some actual newsing. This is like the biggest "No Duh" article of the day, and several sites had to regurgitate it. Geez. So lame.

This is when he'll retire.
Netimmerse 4.0, presumably 5.0 for TES6. They should give the Fallout IP to Obsidian, and have it made in UE5.
Discover the impact of the recent Fallout show on Amazon Prime and the white-hot popularity of the Fallout franchise. Will there be a Fallout 5 anytime soon? How about any new Fallout? Its a good problem to have.
I’m going to get back into Fallout 4 since I haven’t finished it yet. The recent update will likely give me more of an incentive to get to it sooner rather than later.
New armor, weapons, and mission(s) is enough for me, especially since I haven’t finished the game yet.
Where is the problem part again?
There is a show
There is 76 that is perfect for non-standard fallout players and perfect for Bethesda to coin up on.
There is a Fallout Shelter
There is Fallout 4 updated for current gen (that went free for subscription services in most cases).
Also there is a whole new audience that has never seen or played fallout before. Seems like they have PLENTY to dig into, before they worry about FO5.
They are beyond trending and are banking with willing investors atm, and you are calling it a problem. Mkay. Sounds more like you are just chapped that FO5 is not point of discussion. No worries, it is coming, just gonna take a bit. Just be glad MS and Bethesda ironed out their multi-platform woes, THAT was a problem, the rest is cake.
I called it a good problem because they have so much momentum, or did you fail to read that part
That momentum is going to die when the new players realize their games aren't very well made compared to other games.
Just because they're old doesn't mean they aren't worth revisiting.
Don't be afraid. I actually started fallout with 3 back in the day and so I went to play the ogs. I like the ogs more. We just didn't have a pc as a teen.
I agree I played the original 3 a few years ago and they are fun. I feel this needs to be said though. Console players don't have access to these games and that's a shame. However, If you have any sort of windows laptop you can play them they are really old now a basic office pc can play it.
I also want to say is Fallout Brotherhood Of Steel on the PS2 the first console Fallout game. It gets hate for no reason. I enjoyed them more than the originals. I believe it's on Xbox as well. Anyone with access to a PS2 or Xbox or emulated them on pc. It's a fun game to play. Don't get why it was hated on.
"Console players don't have access to these games and that's a shame."
These games will run on just about any low end laptop/PC/tablet and they cost next to nothing. I'm 100% positive no one is missing out that actually cares to look into these games.
That's the bad thing. They re did wasteland for xbox. I know they are 2 different studios but why hasn't the orginal fallouts been done for console. I played on pc but I'd rather play on console with a true controller experience. Is bethesada afraid to be shown up by the source material where their game comes from
Don’t think I’ve played any Bethesda games except Quake 3 team arena on pc back in the day!
a lot of their games are slow and boring to me, + as people always say, full of bugs and crashes!
Not what I want, from a full priced game,
I mean Fallout 3 hasn't been full price for over 10 years. FO NV is like 5 bucks on sale. I understand not paying full price for their games, but every FO game out when on sale is just dirt cheap.
Yeh the fallout ones in question are all cheap
I’m talking Bethesda as a general remark
Neither Quake 3 or Fallout 2 are "Bethesda Games". ZeniMax Media purchased id software in 2009 and also owns Bethesda.
@smells, my bad I got I wrong good point, I assumed doom and quake are from same people and both Bethesda. but yeh, id tech FTW, did you know, both all the halo games, and modernwarfare games, all the way up to 2019 version of MW, are based off a modified quake 3 engine., interesting snips of info for the people, so yeh these companies kept selling technically a game from 1999, heheh, makes me laugh, only in 2019 did they create new engine from scratch, THATS 20 YEARS
Hate turned based worlds. Tried playing 1 10years ago and couldnt figure out howto get past 30 feet.
Added a disagree. Then I didn't feel right about it lol. So took it away. Just wanted to say that's a shame cause your missing out on some great games. Turn based are my personal favorite but I play everything except music games, and racing.
I'm going to try again after reading about how to start...I do like the world...not a fan of a timed main quest though.
Now no one can say they couldn't try Fallout. Awesome return of the classic.
Go get Fallout now kids, thank me later.
it's great for people trying to find the game, but as for me I've had 1 and 2 since they were released and recently bought tactics which I enjoyed alot, my expectations were low, but it was pretty well done, I mean obviously not fallout but still very good if you like turn based combat.
I'm only 17 but still a huge fan of the fallout series, tactics was a good game in itself but not a patch on the original 2. Personally i'm a bit cautious about fallout 3 as it is constantly being compared to Oblivion, if fallout 3 is going to be a 'reskinned' version of oblivion with a slightly different battle system (Which it seems as if it probably will be) then i will be sorely dissapointed.
p.s. Check out the fallout 1+2 modding community, it's small but there's some pretty nifty things out there (www.nma-fallout.com is a good place to start)
tried to find a couple of these games a while back. I did find one of them, but at a price I didn't want to play. This will give me the chance to play what I've missed.
