Poll: A Fallout MMO?

[TheJavaPirate]

No, there aren't rumors all over the internet, I'm just curious to know who would play a Fallout MMO if it came out. I sure would.

 

[Hazy]

No. Part of what makes Fallout a hit is the feeling of isolation.
With thousands of other people running around shouting "lolwut" You lose that atmosphere, and the sort of special interaction that the Surroundings have with your character.

 

[Drakulla]

I loved Fallout 3 so I would play a Fallout MMO.

 

[Iwamori]

I would, but I don't think the universe would work unless they allowed the humans to actually customize the world like UO or darkfall. A million people farming deathclaws for Epic Plasma Rifle of +9 Kickassery would be lame to no end.

 

[Red Right Hand]

I thought somebody picked up the rights for it, either Bethesda or Black Isle Studios. Might be wrong though...

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

The whole sense of isolation would be ruined like was said above, also it was in development until the developers didn't do anything for 10 years (?) and got pulled up by Betheseda and taken off of the game.

 

[Husky.Gnoll]

It would be very difficult to create an MMO in Fallout, unless you didn't have PvP.

First post nailed it.
An MMO is completely contradictory to the setting of Fallout.

Exactly my feelings on the subject

This would be fucking epic though.

I have toyed with the idea of a MMO that takes place in a post-zombie apocalypse world, with towns being ramshackle constructions that send you out on quests to gather life necessities and such. Although I usually don't think about whether it'd work or not and concentrate on thinking about how atmospheric you could make it (picture rolling skies stained purple and a barren wasteland ahead of you).

I would rather they included a co-op mode. I've played through Fallout 3 five times now, all current DLCs. But I would LOVE to be able to have a friend accompany me. (My friend and I were talking about this yesterday.)

What's better than wearing Lincoln's hat and running around in your underwear throwing grenades at everything?

Obviously, TWO naked Lincolns throwing grenades at everything!

I put Fallout 3 on the shelf until I can get past how mmo-like the 'wasteland survival guide' quests felt. It's been about 3 months.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

that game needed the ability to fix up and drive vehicles

 

[massau]

i might do it but i hope the next fallout doesn't have any sort of multilayer because it almost always affect the single player so the single player gets shorter

 

[TheShredder]

Yes

I think that would work really well. If not an MMO then atleast some form of Coop play. Walking around the wastes with a buddy... awesome.

 

[Green Tentacle]

No.
Because like every MMO, you'll always have people like complete retards around the game. Do you really want a 10 year old in your Fallout Universe? And Interplay is on a contract I remember, they have to finish the game or else Bethesda gets the license. And Interplay should move to Earthworm Jim not a fallout MMO.

 

[Bulletinmybrain]

I thought somebody picked up the rights for it, either Bethesda or Black Isle Studios. Might be wrong though...

Bethesda is taking away the rights to the game, because interplay or whoever didn't come up with enough money in a year like they agreed in a contract with bethesda.

 

[Therumancer]

I voted "yes" but largely based on the fact that I approve of non-fantasy MMOs in general though I feel that up until this point nobody has done a decent science fiction MMO. The semi-exception to this is Anarchy Online which would have been an awesome game if they managed to put all the things into it that are there now, back when the tech was more current, AND could deal with some of their problems like zone loading. Right there are all the elements needed for a smash success if they were ever able to re-launch it.

A post apocolyptic MMORPG done correctly would be awesome. Not sure if I think they could properly stick the "Fallout" name on it, but as a general genere I think it could be done well. Honestly if *I* was developing a post apocolyptic MMORPG I'd be after something like the old "Gamma World" liscence rather than Fallout simply because there are a few more character options and such through Gamma World, as well as a mutations system that can be used in lieu of magic, and a pretty decent basis for treasure given some of the hyper-advanced societies that had developed and fallen (I.E. Tech V-VI).

For expansions you could also follow up on some other ideas like having the Starship Warden (Metamorphisis Alpha) wind up floating in orbit.

[Nukey]

it would be good if they developed it right.

 

[balimuzz]

There is already one being developed. Although, I doubt that it's coming, because the Bethesda gave the developers a specific time line in which to show something, and the game is still vaporware. I wouldn't want to. What makes Fallout great is that you feel like you're with a very controlled number of people, where people aren't just running amok, killing random passerby. Fallout is all about choice, and you can't have that if someone else decides to just make it for you and then emote in your face for 15 minutes.
