imagine a rpg with fallout's combat system and planescape:torment's story ... of course, that will never happen but i can still dream

Mike Wallace5526d ago

- Delilah, get me "V13".

- V13.

- What the f*cks "V13"?

- AH! I'm sorry y'all, I don't want to be the first nigga to die from a crossbow!

i want to point out that bethesda dropped the ball with fallout3.

im sure if anyone was a fan of the first two fallout games, theyd agree with me that fallout3 was a horrible iteration of the fallout series. bethesda essentially turned a mature, intelligent game and turned it into a thoughtless pseudo rpg/shooter. there are so many clever and well thought out elements in the original games that were dumbed down for the third game. i could give you a LONG list but i doubt anyone here really wants to hear it.

that being said, i have to admit that the game provided me enough entertainment, enough to justify my purchase. but honestly the game really disappointed me, i was expecting a next gen amazing fallout experience, and fallout3 fell far short of that.

im excited that the original team, or at least one of the original guys is still in the game, and planning to make a new rpg. i hope it stays truer to the fallout roots, and not end up the disappointment that bethesda delivered.

btw, the ps3 version is NOT gimped. granted, when you put them side by side in high res screen shiots a few of the textures are slightly lower res, but in my 50+ hours of gameplay i only had one freeze and never had a stutter in frame rate, or had any textures so low res that it jumped out at me. in fact, i spent at least another 10 hours on my cousins 360 version, and i couldnt even tell the difference. the big difference is that 360 gets dlc, and the first one was lackluster anyways. plus, i doubt id spend any more money on the game than original price.

Todd Howard Has No Plans to Retire, Open to Other Studios Making Fallout Games

In a recent interview, Todd Howard revealed that he has no plans to retire and reiterated Bethesda's openness to help from other studios.

DOMination-3d ago

Oh great, now we have to deal with Anasts Bethesda fetish indefinitely.

Thanks a lot, Todd

anast3d ago

You're welcome for the free entertainment. Usually, it comes at a cost of $70 because of inflation.

Crows903d ago

That's an inflated price...

anast3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

@Crows

It would be if it weren't a valuable resource.

mastershredder3d ago

"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.

nmbr1esq3d ago

He doesn't have to retire, just the stupid outdated garbage creation engine.

Kados3d ago

Netimmerse 4.0, presumably 5.0 for TES6. They should give the Fallout IP to Obsidian, and have it made in UE5.

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.

Crows903d ago

The recent update does nothing except take up more space...

raWfodog3d ago

New armor, weapons, and mission(s) is enough for me, especially since I haven’t finished the game yet.

mastershredder3d ago

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.

danno_omen3d ago

I called it a good problem because they have so much momentum, or did you fail to read that part

anast3d ago

That momentum is going to die when the new players realize their games aren't very well made compared to other games.

andy852d ago

The answer is no there won't. 2030s

Don't Be Afraid To Try The Original Fallouts

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.

VenomUK5d ago

@TheGamer I haven’t tried the original 2d games because I’m so afraid.

shinoff21835d ago

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.

ocelot075d ago

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.

anast5d ago

"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.

shinoff21835d ago

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

anast5d ago

The series peaked at Fallout 2 and started going down hill from there.

purple1015d ago

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,

Huey_My_D_Long5d ago

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.

purple1015d ago

Yeh the fallout ones in question are all cheap
I’m talking Bethesda as a general remark

Smellsforfree5d ago

Neither Quake 3 or Fallout 2 are "Bethesda Games". ZeniMax Media purchased id software in 2009 and also owns Bethesda.

purple1015d ago

@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.

shinoff21835d ago (Edited 5d ago )

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.

mkis0074d ago

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.

JL29304d ago

Well no shit, Sherlock.

Glad you're on the case.
