An hypothetical question for recent Fallout fans

[Nulmas]

"Yeah, that's definitely a Bethesda game."

Then I'd go back to playing New Vegas and pretending that it's the only current-gen Fallout game.

Ouch. I dislike Bethesda, but I must admit they're not even close to being this bad.

Oh, and just to give a little historical context, this happened when the french publisher Titus bought the majority of Interplay and named Hervé Caen (one of Titus's founders) the CEO.

I'd probably cry. It would be the second time a series has gone from well paced, fun but challenging gameplay to samey, shooty, no brain required action (the first one was Resident Evil).

**Double post, sorry. For some reason this first one didn't show up.

I guess I should point out that this crime of nature was actually released.

Metal.



Metal in Fallout.


No.



It's not because we don't like the older Fallout games and only recently joined the Fallout fanbase after F3 that we are a bunch of cowaduuty idiots. 1/10 for making me respond.


Interplay made this? Thank god Bethesda now has the rights to produce Fallout games, imagine if these Intershits actually got to keep on making Fallout games like this!

Loved Fallout 1, 2, tactics, BOS, 3 and NV. I like fallout. I like fallout games. They have all been good (tactics was passable) and i find the setting and humour endearing. So. Bring on the Fallout games of any kind! so long as they dont rape it into a Halo style FPS...then i might cry myself to death

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

Hmmm...nope, just some broken links. Apparently the game you're referring to doesn't exist.
I said it DOESN'T EXIST. Shut up.
I SAID SHUT UP, DAMMIT! THE GAME DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST!

Actually, it's not just Fanon Discontinuity. It is officially, word of god non-canon.

....

I'm gonna go see if I can find it.

 

[lord.jeff]

I have no problem with the change of genre but the sexual nature of the video is very off putting.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Metal guitar riffs?! Titilation?! No Ron Perlman in the intro?!?!?

Seriously, like, what the hell? What on Earth does this have to do with the original Fallout? I mean sure, Fallout 3 scrapped a lot of Fallout stuff, but at least it nailed the atmosphere. This however...gods, words fail me. Just:

While I would HATE another BoS, I would LOVE another old-school Fallout.

I was SO MAD when Bethesda made Fallout 3 instead of Black Isle, even though they had the damn thing in development already! While I do enjoy the newer games, I am disappointed, since I personally would had preferred THIS FALLOUT 3 [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uuDKrY7eW0] over the one we had. I feel the same way about NV. I want an old-school Fallout. I rarelly support the change in genre during the game series. I would even prefer a new Fallout: Tactics [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VJOo-2F_wk]

Why the hell were these types of games die anyway? I'm talking about games with that isometric camera angle! Jagged Alliance got completely killed! X-com had a genre-change! Fallout went trough 3 genre changes with Tactics, BoS and then 3! I don't understand! I WANT THEM BACK!

Yeah I got that it was released but I meant if this trailer was the announcement for the next Fallout game and this is what it came to be.

Wait, you actually liked BOS? And you don't mean the same way someone likes Ed Wood movies?

Regarding Tactics, I liked it a lot. It was a good spin-off.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I feel the same way about NV. I want an old-school Fallout.

Oh come on now. Despite it's numerous flaws, mostly bug related, at least NV had it's heart in the right place. A lot more so than Fallout 3.

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

I'd wait for the Obsidian spin-off.

Jokes aside, I'd clamor for a Fallout Tactics 3 (they had 2 right?). I haven't played either of them, but I heard they were competent; and I can see myself playing a squad based Turn-based/real time (or a combination like FO3 and NV) tactical game. I think that'd be awesome!

 

[Stainlesssteele4]

For those wondering why the Fallout franchise fell of the face of the earth for quite some time, that game is partly responsible.

Not just this game, but Interplay's haphazard handling of a great franchise. Its because of that, Bethesda is doing everything to keep Interplay from creating the MMO.

Fallout Tactics 2 was cancelled I believe. I would love another Tactics game though, there are hardly any turn based strategy games anymore.

Imagine that Bethesda announces that they would be postponing the development of Fallout 4. In that time, they would be developing a spin-off of the series that was an action dungeon crawler.

And then they hit you with these:

I lived it, except Bethesda was called Interplay and they laid off the entire Black Isle Fallout 1 / 2 devs and greenlit that project instead of of Black Isle's ALREADY BETA Fallout 3 / Van Braun.

It was horrible.

 

[killercyclist]

the game looks like something julie strain (live action heavy metal) would star in. burn it, throw it down a drain.

While I agree, that the numerous references and stylistic changes were very welcome, I still couldn't get over the fact that it's largely a First Person Shooter, much like 3. Yes, while you could taste the love by Interplay, the taste of Bethesda was still on there and not subtle. Basically, what I would want, is an Isometric view and turn-based combat among other smaller touches. Why on earth did that genre die, when the touch-screen-craze is sweeping the world?

EDIT: And yes,"Taste of Interplays love" came out way differently than it meant to.
