Fallout 3 Multiplayer

[sonicb970]

(nercroooo....)
I don't think you all understand what people are suggesting, it WOULDN'T be

A; completely multiplayer, it would just be an option

B; be MMO styled, it would probably only allowing 2-4 people together at a time (to the LF... comment)

C; OMG STOP KILLING MY QUESTGIVERS~!!@! kind of thing, it would likely be "friends only" [tell your friends to not shoot stuff up] and you would have to supply a password to enter the world of the host (And the person who has the world getting messed with would be able to easily boot people who refused to listen)

D; it wouldn't "ruin" the atmosphere, you think you're the only hero/villan out in the capital wasteland area? You think because it's in the future people can't work together?


Now, the true problems are
A; VATS wouldn't be able to pause time, but it could keep aiming functionality

B; still extensive modifications must be made to the game

And various other problems

I'm still waiting for someone to offer up theories on how V.A.T.S. (arguably the significant feature of the game, since it's so pivotal to the COMBAT ENGINE, separating fallout 3 from HALO 3 and every other by the numbers 'shooter' out there) with multiple players. Who gets to use it first? What happens when i'm in Vats trying to do a headshot while you just successfully blew the entire enemy away already?
How do you implement it without being annoyed by your friend pausing the game every second to use V.A.T.S. if you only use it in certain situations?

The way i think of Fallout 3 Multiplayer should be like is kind of how GTA SA:MP is like where there can be freeroam,roleplaying,,and of course DM and TDM.

Most of all where you can just have fun and chat.

 

[Worgen]

and just think, everytime someone makes a vat shot it can stop the game for everyone, wont that be grand?
What is it with ppl wanting every damn game to have multi player?

 

[Assassin Xaero]

They would need to add more powerful or beefed up enemies... I can take down pretty much anything myself without any troubles...

I got all exited and changed this game from a rental to a buy when I saw the title of this thread.... and now I'm crashing into dissapointment again... thanks

Don't take it personally... I just can't afford games that I can rent and complete. I'm looking forward to Infamous like crasy... but again 1 player so I'll just rent it.

It has hundreds of hours of gameplay, a large amount of good an evil missions, all of which can be completed inversely and affect the game world, and your planning on finishing it within 2 months...and not playing through it a few more times? Are you insane!?!?! Sorry, I just got a little riled up when you implied that you could complete this game quickly.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. Play Fallout 3 as a rental? Can you imagine what that'd be like?

"Whoo! Escaped Vault 101! Now what will I do fir... Shit Blockbuster closes in 20 minutes! I am not getting another late fee."

On topic, Fallout's a lot more personal (from what I've seen) than Fable. It's connecting on a deeper level. Fable's more light hearted. Co-op in Fable 2 will boil down to something like "Do half a quest, then get drunk and kick chickens for an hour".

yea.. i rented fallout...

OT: i think fallout multiplayer would be kinda cool, blowing up other people with a tesla cannon

 

[TK421]

I believe that co-op would be freakin awesome but I also like the idea of training offline then getting online and pwning people...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I am currently saying a little prayer to the gods of gaming that Fallout 4 does NOT have multiplayer.

I cannot imagine roaming the desolate wastes, becoming completely immersed in the atmosphere of the game only for my buddy to suddenly shout 'Dude you totally PWND that mutie woo yeah, hey don't go that way look what's this tree on the horizon let's go check that out!'

Oh, and Fallout mechanics in a multiplayer shooter...? Oh dear.

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

VATS would not work at all. Just get Borderlands.

 

[Satoz]

The only problem would be mods...Just imagine two pc users trying to play with each other, I doubt it could be done, unless both had the exact same set of mods or turned everything off -_- still would be pretty fun to do even without any mods.

 

[quack35]

Wouldn't really work out. Fallout 3 is meant to be single player only.

 

[DragonChi]

*sigh*..if only....if only..

 

[The Hairminator]

It would be neat, sure. I doubt we will ever see it happen though.

 

[cazyeo]

at first thought fallout 3 co-op seems good until you think about stuff like vats, speech, the pip boy, and the fact that some place change during the story example: megaton can go boom and if you have broken steel you can blow up the cidital but probaly the biggest would be who gets what unlike fable 2 there are more items to get other then just xp and money theres stuff like ammo and weapons also what if some was playing co-op and a rare 1-time only event happened that gave the players and special gun like the firelance who would get it its a shame such a gem of a game can't have co-op or versus but i guess no game can be perfect

As far as that goes, I personally think it would work if it just didn't pause anything at all. You would just have to aim faster and then instead of slo-mo shots, they would be fired in real time. And if picking the body part is a problem, then they could easily implement some code that hotkeys each body part to a number on the keyboard (as far as I'm aware, they serve no other purpose in that mode)

I hear a large group of modders are developing an extensive multiplayer mod for oblivion, but nothing for fallout yet.

 

[LilGherkin]

Interesting concept...not going to happen but interesting none the less.

It might, the original developers of Fallout 1 & 2 have one in the works, although they might go bankrupt by the time it's done, so once again might

 

[headshotcatcher]

Fallout...Is not...Oblivion...WITH GUNS!

And I fear that Bethesda is making Oblivion with guns, and that is going to suck!

Explain how it isnt, in my eyes it's just Oblivion with VATS, different setting and guns..

 

[rowan-thats-me]

they could use vats like an auto target system, on normal time
