OK, I'm getting a little annoyed by the responses here. Like I already said, I don't want to see a full-fledged Canadian Fallout game (although just about any other game would be great), but Fallout can still have those same overtones and golden age sensibilities in other places, it's just hard for Americans to visualize.

I want to see Fallout: London, but it'll never happen so long as Americans are shit-their-pants scared of anything that doesn't take place in the U.S. or some generic desert in Africa/the middle east. Grow up and realize there are other places in the world with distinct 50s culture.

 

[LANCE420]

Sorry buddy, Vegas is where its at. Straight up.
City of sin, debauchery, and best of all...Excess.

Where else was Fallout going to go? Ottowa?

 

[Nannernade]

Watch out for them mutated mounties eh!? =O

 

[Kawatoo]

I remember on one of the loading screens in FO3 there is a news clipping saying that U.S residents are fleeing to Canada, so that may mean Canada is unscathed.

EDIT:

Maybe if they released an extended Operation Anchorage where you did more leading up to the final moments in the original DLC, since it took place in Alaska. That's about as close as you are going to get. I remember seeing F3 loading images of newspaper clippings. One of them reads ''US Annexed Canada!''

Canada would be a horrible place to act as a setting for a Fallout game! What would be there? Snow? Forest? Look at all this snow and forest!

Vancouver

Calgary

!!!!0_0!!!!

If that's true, I demand Fallout: Miami NOW!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, I'm not sure if this stuff is canon or not. It's from a mod for a WWII grand-strategy game. I'm not so sure as to how closly is follows the Fallout canon. If I remember correctly I also know that as well as the aforementioned sentient-spider infested swamps, there are a bunch of genocidal robots up near the American-Canadian border. This mod also has a U.S.-ish government located around D.C. and parts of the surrounding states. So this leads me to believe that I isn't entirely canon.

Even so I'd love to see some different places in the Fallout universe even if it's through DLC.

Fallout Canada would consist of trudging around in the snow killing mutated moose and undead mounties.

Boring.

 

[Randomanom]

OK So to sum up then. (before this gets even more out of control than it is)
No, a canadian city based fallout would not have the mass to sustain a full game however may be intreguing as an expansion and even then would have to break from the common themes and storyline of the fallout universe.
This in turn would ruin it's validity as a genuine addition to the fallout universe as it does not conform to the backstory which has kept so many fans comming back for more with each new release.

Fallout DC, Fallout New Vegas, how about a little love north of the boarder?

Fine most of our market is in the states yes, but already your doing polar opposites of the country so why not explore a little and have some veriaty. Everyone goes with cities we all know from movies and practically every other video game in a run down city ever made.

Am i Canadian? Yes, Do i hate America? No, it's a great place and the cities are great to explore but really how much longer do i have to explore the same place again and again.

Vegas, L.A, San Fran, New York, and DC, ever seen any other american city in a game? NO

Overall though i think a Fallout Toronto could be awsome. Gouls lurking in abandoned subway stations, the skydome transformed to some massive fortress or gladiatorial arena, the CN Tower an inpenitrable base? or world's best sniper position?

There's are so many possabilities to be explored in all regards, new landmarks, new vehicles, new quests.

Steal an Avro car (an experimental flying saucer make by A.V. Roe for the us army) and zoom through the streets mowing down mutants.
Fight your way to recover the stanley cup from the hockey hall of fame, taking on hoards of gouls decked out in hockey gear armor.
Survive a trip to center island while desperatly defending the ferry from looters attacking anyone foolish enough to take to the water.
Wander the University of Toronto Campus searching for new tools and weapons. Or take sides in a local feud between the engineers and the artsies. (engineers woot! 40 beers)
Scavange through the Eaton's Center, or take out a local warlord holed up in city hall. (resident evil movie fans will recognize the building)
Canada's Wonderland....k i got nothing......over run creepy amusment park maybe?

Fallout 3 said (in loading screens) that Canada had been annexed by the US for our resources, well lets see it. was it invasion? Did we team up? Is their a resistance?

For anyone who's been to Toronto you know there's a ton of possabilities.

Yes this goes for any new city, Canadian or otherwise, but seriously cross the boarder.

Americans, Canadians, and everyone else out in the world, what do you think? Isn't it time for some veriaty?

I know what you mean. It has always bothered me that everything takes place in the states. I know that they are a large demographic but how about some stories that are told in Canada?

How about some that don't depict us as living in igloos or chopping wood or saying "eh" all the time?

Would it be so wrong for a tv show, movie, or video game to take place in Vancouver? How about Ottawa? They are large cities that are known.

I think people have a mentality that Canada is just boring or something. Like there couldn't be some murder mystery/serial killer on the loose in our country cause we are all too busy drinking beer and eating bacon.

There was a show not to long ago called The Listener, it was filmed in Canada and features, what I believe to be Toronto. And they might not say it but Fringe is filmed in Canada.

Almost everything is filmed in Vancouver.

Every Stargate, Battlestar Galactica, a ton of movies.

 

[Commissar Sae]

Wasn't Canada annexed by the US in the fallout background. That could add a whole other aspect to the game pretty much unseen before.

 

[mexicola]

No, no, no. Like some people already said, Fallout should stay in USA.It would lose a lot of it's charm if the series moved to other countries around the world.

From here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Ronto

"Ronto is a region mentioned by Ishmael Ashur and the slave Brand. In a speech to the slaves of The Pitt, Ashur proclaims that The Pitt, with its industry, security, and strength, is the envy of the Commonwealth, the Capital Wasteland, and Ronto. The name Ronto refers to the Canadian city of Toronto, which would have been under the control of the United States after the annexation of Canada in 2076, just prior to the Great War. The context in which the region is mentioned implies that by 2277, Ronto had established a reputation as a significant military power over the years."

To put that quote in context.. the actual speech goes like this: "Citizens of The Pitt, workers of Downtown, traders of Uptown, and all the fierce souls who do what must be done! I bring you good news! We stand at the dawn of a new golden age. Where others merely survive, we thrive! Our industry is the envy of the Commonwealth! Our safety is the envy of the Capital Wastes! Our might is the envy of Ronto!..."

Sounds like a great setting for a DLC to me.. that would be cool.. I live in and around Toronto and I have to say that the setting of Fallout just doesn't work to set a whole game there.. but a Ronto DLC, thats a good idea.

While more games need to be based around Canada and/or take place inside Canada, this is not the game. The Fallout series is one game that really suits the setting of post apocalyptic U.S.A. It would feel awkward if it were based in Canada after being established in U.S.A.

 

[Wakefield]

Everyone knows that the only places in the world is America. Everything ever will happen there. No where else.

I quite enjoyed that District 9 made a point of not being in America.

I think it was set there because of the apartheid parallels...and I guess being written by South Africans.

There are thankfully a lot more 'mainstream' films being based in Canada. Bon Cop Bad Cop, The new Liam Nelson *swoon* movie Chloe, and we can't forget the Trailer Park Boys.

Yes, yes we can. I do not like them being the only thing people can think about when I say I live in Nova Scotia. That is NOT what I want this place to be famous for.

 

[Daipire]

No way, Fallout Australia. It'll have all the deadliest animals, ONLY MUTATED!


Maybe that's a *bit* too hard....

 

[Kimarous]

To people suggesting Australia and New Zealand, I'm pretty sure that they were some of the only places that were NOT nuked, although lack of contact with the outside world resulted in similar social degredation.

In any case, speaking as a native Canadian, I do think a straight-up "Fallout: Canada" wouldn't be very good. Still, I would like to see a Fallout game north enough to include Canadian characters. Maybe some kind of "Fallout: Seattle" featuring a major faction that originally hails from Vancouver or something...

 

[GLo Jones]

I don't want to be that guy, but...

Although, a Guy Ritchie GTA universe would be fun.

Right after we get another British GTA game, guv'na

Bolded for her your pleasure ;d

Don't want to be that guy...again, but...

Well that was merely an expansion. How about another new British GTA game.

 

[P.Tsunami]

Americans, Canadians, and everyone else out in the world, what do you think? Isn't it time for some veriaty?

No

The Fallout series has always, and should always, taken place in America. This is for a reason. The game's setting focuses around an exaggerated American gold age that was devastated by nuclear war.

This. By God, this. I couldn't even imagine a Fallout game based anywhere else than the US. The whole style of the game is deeply grounded in American 50's kitsch, PSA's, and the roaring time of rock n' roll. No offense meant to Canadians, I do not associate that era with Canada. Or any other country, for that matter.

 

[P.Tsunami]

Well that was merely an expansion. How about another new British GTA game.

I for one want to whole heartedly support this. Going by the new series of GTA games, we've had takes on traditional mobster movies (GTA III), topical mobster movies (GTA:VC), thug life stories (GTA:SA) and something else entirely with GTA IV. I think it's time for the series to go back to embracing the clichés of cinema. Specifically, I'd love to see a GTA set in a British city (Guy Ritchie-style) and one set in Hong Kong or Japan (dealing with Kung Fu clichés and/or the Yakuza).
