Wow this game is going to BE HUGE, i dont know how i can get into other games once this hits.

jkhan5846d ago

Well from the screenshots one thing is for sure. This game ain't coming to Australia :(

Close_Second5846d ago

...will get modified versions without blood and guns and the setting will be in a cuddly toy factory producing cuddly toys for special needs kids. Ahhh, living in such a politically correct country .... bites!

(I'm in NZ).

Closing5846d ago (Edited 5846d ago )

This game is gonna rock for sure. Now if only it had some sort of multiplayer options.

Premonition5846d ago

Im not sure about multiplayer because this game seems to be only focused on you as a player, and taking this massive game into your own hands, now i wouldn't mind a system where you can show the community your character, stats etc, and stories, that to me would be pretty good.

Closing5846d ago (Edited 5846d ago )

Every game could use multiplayer these days. Being able to explore these huge cities with other players online would be amazing, and could only add to the replay value.

Anyhow I can't wait to finally see this game in action. It's about high time they released some videos!

MK_Red5846d ago

As Relcom said, wrong game. Fallout is NOT meant to be multiplayer. At least not a main Fallout game. They can make spin-offs but the main Fallotu games are about being alone in a seriously cruel and harsh enviroment. And to survive of course.

xsteinbachx5846d ago

I believe an MMO would work for this though. The world is just perfect.

urban bohemian5846d ago

I mean in both the original games you had companions....Dogmeat, Ian, Marcus, Torr, Vic etc whose to say another player couldnt drop in (a bit like in Fable 2 was talking about?). But then again it was born single player and it pwned single player.

Closing5846d ago (Edited 5846d ago )

MK a lot has changed since the older games. To say that this is not meant to be a multiplayer is totally ridiculous especially seeing as how it's shaping up, and how things do, and should change for the better. You guys are trying to make something that could only add to the experience a bad thing is beyond me. It's not like I'm knocking the game, but there are always things that can make games better. It's not like I'm saying it should be a multiplayer only either, but that should be an option especially these days this kind of thing should be expected. A good multiplayer=a better value. It's as simple as that.

MK_Red5846d ago

Closing, I strongly believe that some games are not meant to be multiplayer and Fallout is one of them. Not the main Fallout experience but a spin-off would be more than suitable for a multiplayer. We already have the nice Fallout Tactics which has multiplayer and is rather fun.

And the Fallout MMO is indeed in works by Interplay.

As for multiplayer add value, I also disagree with that but that's mainly because I'm singleplayer fan and usually hate mp.

Closing5846d ago (Edited 5846d ago )

I just don't understand why it should it be a spin off? They already built the world, and characters so adding something like multiplayer is not that big of a task in comparison. Although I'm still talking about a decent multiplayer or otherwise they might as well not even add it. Thats the future of gaming since single player campaign only games, just as multiplayer only games are a thing of the past, and if you don't like the mp then simply don't play it. It's what the majority has come to expect for the price they're paying, and for obvious reasons. It's like saying for the same price you'd rather have a stripped down Dodge Neon over a fully loaded Cady. Sure you might not use all the features, but it's nice to know it's there, and who knows maybe someday you'll feel like using seat warmers.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z16d ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake16d ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies40d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken40d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6940d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker40d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6940d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt40d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken40d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
