So which video game intros are the greatest of all time? Before I answer this politically explosive question, my definition of “intro” must be clear. I am defining a video game intro as any cinematic segment before or after the title screen that sets up a narrative and/or establishes a tone or theme. Also, the title screen itself may be an important part of an intro, as I will explain in some of my choices. Finally, no gameplay is allowed in my definition of intro. If the gamer, as opposed to the director, controls the direction of the segment, the effect is interactional, not cinematic. It’s the simple difference between viewing and playing.
Just because they're old doesn't mean they aren't worth revisiting.
The three first "Fallout" games are still pure RPG gold in the current year imo.
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.
According to a new report, Xbox knows the next Fallout game has to release sooner rather than later and is working on it. Following the release of Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios is now working on The Elder Scrolls 6. And this is what it's going to be doing for the next several years. This means the next Fallout game is probably not going to be out until the 2030s unless something changes. To this end, Xbox knows it has to change something and get something out sooner.
Just bring the quality and hopefully some gameplay refinements.
Like build a new engine if you make me have a 45 second load to enter a building and exit a building on 9th gen hardware to your game is just taking the piss it's absolutely down to the engine and not the hardware it should have been possible to eliminate this load on the PS4 Xbox one but they failed to while other games like witcher 3 and GTA v had no problems with this.
Like all Bethesda games they really need to also address the ultra stiff character animation the dialogue scenes are not great and even in starfield they were substandard compared to other games look at how character interactions are done elsewhere it's far more engaging when you are not standing still talking
Most especially coming from Bethesda, a company known for releasing buggy games, while they are busy working on 2 other projects with MS breathing down their neck to rush this one out while the TV show hype is still hot.
The thing is coming from Xbox and Bethesda... That's the formula for a pretty big disaster.
I would think building a new engine would add significantly more development time than less, unless they implement AI tools to aid in the develelopment time. But that’s another whole can of worms entirely.
This is a problem....let the games be. Maybe try to get something out by the time next season rolls around. You've got time. If the fallout show continues like this then it'll be fine to wait and invest in a good game.
I think people are missing the point of this
It’s not rushing a releases for next year it’s Microsoft knowing Bethesda won’t get round to Fallout 5 until 2031 at the earliest and want it to become a franchise that can come out within a typical 4-5 year development over every 15 or so years.
Bethesda took it upon themselves to do a new IP with Starfield which is fair enough, it's great to see studios wanting to do new IPs but in the process of doing that they've created a massive gap for sequels to their other games.
They just don't want to give their franchises away to another studio because I feel after New Vegas they are scared someone else will be able to create a better game to them. If Obsidian were giving a full lengthy development time and a bigger budget I think New Vegas could have been bigger and better than it was.
I really do enjoy the fallout world, I always been into the series but couldn't get into new vegas cause the gameplay is a slog, the atmosphere was and still top notch tho, decide to finally play fallout 4 and it's been so mf fun it looks good in 60fps
If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.
"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."
😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?
Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.
20% off...lol
The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.
So what the heck is this
The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz
Love the throwback to Ninja Gaiden. It's crazy at one time that was mind blowing, lol.
damn spammers!(talking to nichol05),but anyway,mab I really need to play the original fallout,love 3 and new vegas.
