Can they not set it in the UK. London would be amazing for a Fallout game

MattyG3949d ago (Edited 3949d ago )

They'll never set it in anywhere other than the States. It draw all it themes, humor and satire from being set in well known areas in the States. I think it'd be interesting to see other countries, but I doubt they ever will.

Matt6663949d ago

Even though you say that its a all out nuclear fallout so therefore other countries would actually be involved so I think it would still work

Swiggins3949d ago

It's unlikely that they'll ever set a Fallout in the UK, but it would be great to get some British characters in the Wastelands.

Ausbo3949d ago

No offense to those that live in San Fran, but i really don't want it there. I would love it to be london or some city outside the US, though unlikely that may be.

SpideySpeakz3949d ago

London?.. How boring, and unrelative. They can't bring back the Brotherhood of Steel if it's set in boring London. New York City, Boston, New Orleans, dang, even China.

Root3949d ago

Course they can...it's their story they can do anything they want

aliengmr3949d ago

No, Fallout must be set in the US like Metro must be set in Moscow.

Fallout's essence is 50's/atomic age America. You simply aren't going to have that in any other country.

I'm all for games exploring different and unique settings, but there are a few that must not be touched and Fallout is definitely one of them.

Ummmm okay. The headline is complete crap, the person they interviewed does not even work at Bethesda. And he states these are we're he would like to see them go with the game.

JunioRS1013949d ago

He doesn't work at Bethesda, but he does work at Obsidian Entertainment, which helped developed on Fallout: New Vegas.

Which was even better than Fallout 3, IMO.

MrSwankSinatra3949d ago

well thats your opinion honestly i thought fallout 3 was a WAY better game, but i do love new vegas.

JunioRS1013949d ago

Whaaat?? No way. New Vegas had a way more interesting plot.

Infiltrating and learning about all the different factions?? C'mon, it was awesome.

cootdog1233949d ago

That's a big NEGATIVE brother lol. Too start off with I hope to all that is holy that they keep Obsiden away from the next game. New Vegas SUCKED plenty hairy ass. Not to mention it was way more buggy than Fallout 3. Don't want to go back to the fucking desert again. The NCR lol could have done without them and where did the Brotherhood go not a very big role for them in a game that was built around them from the start. And the main person in the game not coming from out of a vault WTF was that all about. Man whatever they do PLEASE keep Obsidien away from the damn game.

SpideySpeakz3949d ago

No RPG open-world shooter game has matched or surpassed the level of Fallout 3. NONE!
That includes Fallout: NV.

FlameHawk3949d ago

and they haven't even announced Fallout 4 so the guy is not going to be called Fallout 4 designer.

greatcrusader443949d ago

Chris Avellone is a major contributor to the Fallout Universe. The Lead in Fallout 2 and New Vegas, and compiled the Fallout Bible. So he is a good source, even if its not much.

cootdog1233949d ago

Hopefully Beth will keep Obsid. well away from the next installment.

Wni03949d ago

hopefully fallout goes back to its top down view gameplay and non of this bullshit FPS crap.

Eldyraen3949d ago

I wouldn't mind a Fallout isometric RPG either but I enjoy the FPS-RPG hybrid its turn into as well. It wasn't what I was expecting from Fallout but it works. Makes for some fun times anyways and has a great world to explore.

Wasteland 2 might be up your alley though as I'm watching it as well (so many isometrics coming, compared to recently anyways).

Wni03949d ago

you guys do know fallout 2 is one of the best games ever and fucking bethesda goes and makes it a generic shooter.

MrTrololo3949d ago

Don't like it ? Then don't buy it. Why even bother comment ?

Swiggins3949d ago

I'd say that Fallout 3 was infinitely better than Fallout 2...in just about ever respect.

Come at me bro.

Heisenburger3949d ago

Did you even play it?

Don't misconstrue what I am saying, though. I have no issue with you not enjoying Fallout 3.

But I don't understand how you could call it a generic shooter.

There is nothing out there like the V.A.T.S. system, which contradicts the very meaning of generic btw.

Just try to articulate your point(s) better in the future.

Ausbo3949d ago

its definitely not generic. The themes of fallout, grit, and humor were all present in fallout 3. They just presented it in an FPS and everyone loved it. They just need to fix the bugs and floating npcs

How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.

bondsmx7d ago

Well, I still crashed like 5 times last night within two hours. So there’s that.

anast6d ago

I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

helicoptergirl13d ago

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis12d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits12d ago

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

anast12d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast12d ago

I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.

Good-Smurf12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.

MrDead12d ago

It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
