Such a great, wonderful use of your money. /s

dasbeer883795d ago

But hey at least he'll leave a legacy by bringing a foul taste to every Fallout fan. As far as I'm concerned, I'm surprisingly glad that everybody here on N4G are moaning and complaining about it. :)

il-JumperMT3795d ago

As a Fallout fan, I am still waiting for a proper sequel. Fallout 2 was the last one in the series.

Z_-_D_-_33795d ago

@Jumper

Well, you're not going to get it.

Xof3794d ago

@Jumper:

Well, you're going to get it.
In a few months, actually.

A brief history lesson:

In 1988, while with Interplay, a man named Brian Fargo developed a post-apocalyptic survival RPG with a quirky sense of humor. It was called "Wasteland."

Then in 1997, Interplay geared up to develop a sequel, but due to various issues had lost the rights to the Wasteland name (Interplay was already on its way down). So they developed the game anyway, but changed the name to "Fallout."

The short-lived Fallout series was very much the spiritual successor to Wasteland.

And, wouldn't you know it, but in one of the biggest kickstarters so far, Brian Fargo successful generated enough money to develop a sequel to Wasteland.

Wasteland 2 should release February/March 2014.

....

Similarly, the upcoming fantasy RPG Divinity: Original Sin uses a very similar combat system to Fallout. Also: Tim Cain, also known as "that guy who made Fallout so awesome" is working at Obsidian now... working on another big, epic isometric RPG.

....

I should also point out that Tim Cain worked on New Vegas, so even if you don't want to accept Fallout 3 as a "true sequel," you really can't say the same for New Vegas.

Unless all you're doing is masturbating to a combat system, but if that's the case, you don't have any cause to celebrate RPGs, period.

the guy that did it is apparently loaded, so it wasnt a waste for him

Xof3794d ago

That's not how it works.

jon12343793d ago

when your filthy rich, its a drop in the bucket...

ajax173795d ago

At least he sparked interest. Hopefully this'll help illustrate to Bethesda how much the Fallout community are dying for a new release.

GamersHeaven3795d ago (Edited 3795d ago )

What a waste of time and money

pompombrum3795d ago

In the wonderful world of the internet, there is no such thing as a waste of time or money when you taking trolling to the next level like he did.

wallis3795d ago

That's what trolls tell themselves but honestly I hope they all choke to death on each others micro-cocks. This guy included. It's like if the graffiti on a bathroom stall had a $1 coin slot if you wanted to write something. At best it's a tax on the retarded.

-Foxtrot3795d ago

What a sad life he must have

Indo3795d ago

I imagine that War of Warcraft guy from Southpark behind that computer.

LAWSON723795d ago

I disagree clearly he is loaded with cash and from what I read he is pretty damn intelligent and has alot of time on his hands to do whatever he wants. That life sounds so terrible. He clearly loves video games and he wanted to get the Fallout community together and hyped so maybe Bethesda would confirm the game. Too bad his plan did not work and even backfired making him look like the troll of the month

MONOLITHICIDE3795d ago

Exactly. It brought my brother and I together, all we've been talking about is the next fallout and replaying fallout 3. People are just whinny babies and think they deserve everything. Just look at these comments. You all sound ridiculous. Yes I'm disappointed but come on people it was fun while it lasted. Did it not make you remember the fond memories of the wasteland as the lone wanderer. Anyways I'm stepping into my time machine. Dial is set for the first week of June. E3 here I cum!

NihonjinChick3795d ago

He could have used that time and money on something productive.

NihonjinChick3795d ago (Edited 3795d ago )

Okay, let me reword it..

He should have used that time and money on something that doesn't involve trolling strangers on the internet.

JW10803795d ago

Like charity. Excuse my language but what a dumbass. Why? Just why? Not cool for all the fans of the Fallout series.

Moncole3795d ago

People discovered it was a hoax and people still believe it. It wad funny to see everyone get excited and than discover it was a hoax when it ended

MONOLITHICIDE3795d ago

Was buying a new console productive? Did any of you buy a console for anyone else but yourselves.

How To Solve Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Performance Issue On OLED Steam Deck

Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.

Isn't this a better and easier work around?...

There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back  ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.

Fallout 4 next-gen upgrade woes continue for some PS Plus users

Some PS Plus subscribers can now access the next-gen version of Fallout 4 after Bethesda addressed concerns on Thursday, but others have still been left in the cold.

yup, worked for me a few hours ago

MrDead2d ago

This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Good work detective

Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above

Michiel19891d 15h ago

Ever heard of a game called Doom or Wolfenstein, detective?
Also quake 3 arena was made by ID, which at the time wasn't part of Bethesda.

Profchaos1d 18h ago

Yeah I've had friends rebuy the game because the ps plus didn't work and they used to own the last gen version sold off the physical after the PS plus pack included fallout when they got the ps5.

So overall I know ms has likely warned quote a bit from this error.

Barlos1d 10h ago

This game hasn't aged well. I was really looking forward to the update, but I'm just not enjoying it. I never did get on with the settlement building and raiders, and I still don't. I won't be going back to this now.

mkis0071d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Settlement stuff was way undercooked. Too many settlements and QOL updates are needed, and can only be added by mods...which disable achievements. The game does 2 things better than past games: Gunplay and scavenging.

Profchaos1d 6h ago (Edited 1d 6h ago )

Have to agree settlement stuff was boring and dull but I loved the game outside of that still do. But next to other games is it's era like witcher 3 it always felt a little stuck in the mid 2000s

anast1d 5h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

They aren't really missing much. I've been playing it for awhile and it's just a polished turd. Low effort, hyped up like a full release.

anast2d ago

Ha! They messed up the Xbox upgrade.

GamerRN1d 22h ago

It's not messed up. This mode runs 60fps 1440p with ultra settings. If you want to see the other modes, disable 1440p somehow.

anast1d 4h ago

The S doesn't have ultra settings.

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They have and they haven't just download 60fps and ultra setting mod and gane looks great

attilayavuzer1d 23h ago

Guess we're stuck with 60fps

GamerRN1d 22h ago

And Ultra Settings ... @1440p. It's working as expected. There is a star that states in the patch notes that if 1440p is available, quality mode will stay in 60fps 1440p with ultra settings.

Barlos1d 22h ago (Edited 1d 22h ago )

Surely not! Bugs with something from Bethesda? Get outta here!

Father__Merrin1d 11h ago

I noticed that performance mode on or off both 60fps which is best mode to use then?

BeRich2331d 11h ago

"On" does seem to perform better too me.
