First Screenshots From Fallout MMO?
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
I'm the one who posted these screenshots, both at Polygamia (a Polish gaming site where I work) and at The Vault (Fallout Wiki) [http://fallout.wikia.com/], which I founded. They were also independently posted at Duck and Cover [http://duckandcover.cx/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23431], a Fallout fansite that acquired them independently. Both the screenshot and the concept arts were submitted by Interplay to the court as evidence that the game is in full production. I was sent the court filings of both Bethesda and Interplay by a trusted source.SomeBritishDude said:
You might not know me, but some of the regulars here probably do, if they are members of the fan community, and know that I can be trusted on these matters.
Ugh... I hope this is bullshit.
It's hard to feel alone and vulnerable in a post-apocalyptic environment when you've got a billion dolts constantly clogging up a chat screen in the corner with duel requests, guild invites, and begging for help with a quest.

I think if Bethesda wants to make an MMO they should create an entirely new universe and not mess with the ones we are already firmiliar with.
Yes, but since Fallout 3 is the newest, and this is in 3D (and fairly similar-looking to Fallout 3), I think it is more likely than not that VATS would be included in subsequent sequels, and that this game might include itBaby Tea said:
Also, I don't know whether it's the emotionlessness of text, but your response came across as very stand-offish
I don't like that
the idea of a fallout mmo is just stupid. Even with only the small population of FO3 it was difficult to believe the wasteland could support them, there was any ammo/food/medicine left, etc. With the population of an MMO, even in a much larger gameworld, it would be impossible.
Not to mention the loss of the whole 'lone wanderer' feeling, when you were bumping into other players continually.

Sure, I don't like the idea of destroying the original concept of: opening into the expansive wasteland, being one man against the entire world, with everything to lose, and the only thing you can trust is the steel in your hand.
However, Fallout is STILL the perfect setting for an MMO. I think that the biggest problem that this board has is that they fear such radical change.
There are races, professions, monsters, levels, and a deep storyline. Best of all, there aren't any MMOs with a similar setting. As long as it at least has a graphical level close to Fallout 3 (obviously sacrificing some graphical power so it can run on many different computers), the producers have the money to keep it running, and Bethesda is okay with it, it can't lose.
Besides, the world needs to repopulate somehow.

I played Oblivion for 20 mins then went looking for the Online option. There was none. I was shocked. I thought, "this could be that awful turdefest WoW." So I checked out Guild Wars instead.Prons said:
Great decision. Even though I play EVE now. I hate elf games.
I would NEVER EVER play a Fallout MMO.
Fallout is about a brilliant narrative with a bunch of hilarious sidequests that often lead to more knowledge of the world you're exploring, be it I , II or III.
MMORPGs are about running aimlessly around killing X amount of X monster so you get some XP until you can go to a higher level place where you do the exact same thing. Eventually you get big enough and start killing other players. There is no *real* story being told because if every fetch quest you did advanced a well planned narrative the story would have to be bigger than the combined works of Shakespeare.
IF this happens (which it won't), it will be a complete fucking travesty.

I was going to say that it's graphically inferior to Fallout 3, so therefore it's fake, but that argument doesn't work if it's Interplay making it.
I kind of hope Interplay somehow wins this court case. I think Bethesda doesn't do its best to give consumers proper support. Bethesda is pathetic at glitch testing.
Don't give me any tongue about how sandboxes can't be glitch tested, either - GTAIV ran like a little beauty, I had maybe five serious glitches in my 300+ hours of game-play. Meanwhile, Fallout 3 was almost unplayable at times.

Why are people freaking out so much? I thought it's been known for at least a year that there's going to be a MMO with Fallout settings.
Still, I would be wary with Polygamia. It's the first time I've heard about this it, and I know most of the major sites. If it was gry.online or cdaction.pl, I would believe it.
Also, they claim one of the people who worked on F1 will be working on this MMO. But they don't say who exactly.
