Rumours for the next Fallout...

[Char12]

Although I doubt it'll ever be outside the USA, I would love to play Fallout: Glasgow. Running around the town square with half the population trying to knife you? That happened BEFORe the nukes landed.

Lol I'm also from Glasgow, but what would be worse, Fallout Paisley there wouldn't be need of a nuclear war there are alrady "super" mutants wandering about at night

 

[sbutler1]

I kinda fancy Seattle.

 

[boag]

I would love to see a Fallout game set in Hong Kong, it would fill in a lot of information about the war, and let another perspective be viewed.

Vault 0 [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_0], since it was featured in a "non canon" game, I'd love to see it shoved into the story, so my vote goes to Colorado Springs, and the Cheyenne Mountain Complex.

That'd be terrific. A new landscape and region, without straying so far that the Fallout essence is lost. I think I support this idea.

I REALLY hope that Obsidian develops it. If Bethesda does it, we'll get a ton of cool setpieces and fun environments for exploration, but the game's IQ will drop 70 points.

I don't understand this line of thought. Fallout 3 was soo much better than New Vegas. I didn't even finish NV. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't anything special compared to FO3.

I'm hoping it'll be Bethesda's project.

Weird, that's the complete opposite of me. Couldn't get into FO3, but been 100 hours in NV. For my money New Vegas IS Fallout.

It has that mix of dire survival and weirdness that I loved about Fallout 1+2. FO3 had a stick up it's butt about how serious a nuclear apocalypse is....in a setting where DC tourist attractions are still largely recognizable 200 years after the end of civilization and radiation makes people into glowing zombies. Yeah it had a few easter eggs, but I had to wait to NV and then the Weird Wasteland to get the kind of game I was looking for.

And then yeah, the writing was better in NV, bu YMMV.

All trailers on the game are fake/fan-made.
Obsidian are currently making a South Park RPG (I think)
Bethesda states that all their future games will be made in Skyrim's Creation Engine, until they make a new one
A Fallout game set outside America would just be too different.
A Fallout game set in New York would be to unsurprising. God damn, does every post-apocalyptic/disaster franchise have to be in New York? It's been over used. Besides, Fallout is exploring a wasteland, not some city full of skyscrapers.

I think a fallout game in Canada would be a great idea. We could have mutated moose, it would be both hilarious and deadly, to see a pale brown, horned abomination charging at you. I also imagine that things would be significantly different than that of DC, or the Mojave. Since Canada is considered "Our Backwards Cousin" by America, maybe the BoS would rule with an iron fist, due to technological superiority, and the enclave would be the good guys, trying to atone for the evils their brothers before them. And maybe there could be a time of a day, due to a nuclear winter, the winds would pick up, and could obscure your sight, so you would be unaware of the giant charging moose (They could be called 'Chargers') speeding towards you. What do my fellow escapists think?

Just so long as I can get a Vault Boy android companion, I'm all for this.

1950's colloquialism and lethal killing machine all wrapped up in a life size Vault Boy...

I would hope for it to be in the Commonwealth. One, it's far enough north that it would be able to justifiably get the hell away from pure dusty wasteland, and two, we've already got some back story for it but not that much. As someone else said earlier, the whole Blade Runner replicant angle would be really fun to check out.

And for those who said LA? No. Given how that part of the Fallout world is relatively civilised by this point, about the only vaguely plausible (and somewhat interesting) story would be for the NCR to fall apart after having lost Hoover Dam whilst the Legion advances. Unless of course it's just the Legion advancing into territory of the NCR after them having lost the Dam, in which case FNV has already more or less done that story.

San Francisco could work since it's known territory, Arroyo's not far north of it so we could have some really nice landscape to play about with, but once again, it'll be a story of the NCR expansion into an area which they may or may not be wanted (albeit with much more of a solid position than they had in FNV).

New York... Maybe. We know absolutely nothing about it in the universe and we could have some real fun with it. And it would also be close enough to the Commonwealth that we could justifiably go there in a DLC.

I cant see it set outside America...

...fortunately, others can. Even better, those others can draw pretty amazing things (if you look at the rest of JollyJack's gallery, fair warning: he also can draw some over-sexed anthropomorphic animal NSFW things).

Fallout - Charred Albion [http://jollyjack.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=240#/d2x051u]

I was toying around with an idea for a fan-comic set in the Fallout universe.
It was inspired by the release of a few government doomsday plans a while back. They were written up during the cold war and detailed how the major cities would be abandoned and the remaining members of parliament would establish miniature fiefdoms in various corners of the country, where it was predicted that few bombs (or resulting fallout) would land.
Once I started making notes on a potential story line, though, I decided I liked the concept too much to waste on a profitless fan-project and removed all the Fallout universe elements (what few there actually were. The fate of Europe isn?t really explored).

It?s just at that ?this would make a cool little mini-series? stage, like so many of my projects. Needs a lot of fleshing out before it actually goes anywhere.

IF it goes anywhere.

Gotta get Little Victory done and dusted first.

Edit: "Albion" is the oldest recorded name of the British Isles....not the setting of a Lionhead game......

 

[Alssadar]

Are we finally going to see that nuclear winter that NCR troops have been longing for?

I lol'd.

OT: Guys, why not compromise-both the Commonwealth and over St. Lawrence into New England?

 

[Hectix777]

Why not Texas? Texas is big, bad, and has a kickass history behind it. You could make the Alamo the new fortress of the southern branch of the Brotherhood of Steel or the HQ of the Texas Rangers. And just like theres a cult for Elvis in New Vegas, theres a cult for Chuck Norris. That'd be fun, am I the only one in on this?

 

[Melon Hunter]

New York would be great. You know why? Because the teaser trailer could have Frank Sinatra's 'New York' playing in it. Imagine: zoom out from a radio, song begins. "Start spreadin' the news...", camera pans out out from the crown of the Statue of Liberty, over the harbour and the ruins of Manhattan, at some point zooms in on a power-armoured figure; "New York, New York...", song fades out, camera fades to black. "War. War never changes." Then the words Fallout 4 show. That would be incredible.

 

[Jakub324]

I hope it won't be in Canada, I hear it's like Wisconsin, where I live. The gameplay would go *walk for ten hours, then see a radmoose. Then walk for another 5 without seeing anything*.

Radmoose?! That had me in fits of laughter.
OT: I wanna see post-apocalyptic China!!! I want to know how it looked from their end, see their side of the war, know what it was like for them during the invasions.

 

[David Bjur]

It'll be Canada.

Skyrims engine involves dynamic snow, Canada was annexed in 2059. It was the site of the huge civilian suppression and could offer the most out of Skyrim's engine and Fallout universe.

New York is a stupid place to have it, we saw it in DC and Vegas (city & desert, check) and a too many bloody games have been to NYC this year and last. The only way the could cock that up more is if they turned it into a modern military shooter.

Given Skyrim's number of cities and New York States Location I imagine we'll visit at least portions of:

New York City
Buffalo
Albany
Rochester
Montreal
Ottawa
Toronto
Niagara Falls

Hate to break it to you, but Skyrim isn't a big world. It is just packed with stuff to do which makes it feel big. Solitude is maybe, four streets? New York has thousands. Bethesda just can't spend to much time on the whole world and the scenery.
OT: Maybe it will be set during the great war? I can't tell the future.

 

[m15t4k3n]

Hmmm, more like "Maybe I'm the Vault Dweller but I just don't know it yet."

 

[Johnson McGee]

I think Canada would be interesting, whether placed in Ontario or out west Alberta area, you could have a large contrast between a highly irradiated southern area near the US border and as you get further north you see more new settlements and greenery as lands that were less densely populated before the war and therefore not targeted by bombs appear.

That and it would allow more of the back-story behind the annexation and resource exploitation to be explored.

 

[The Rascal King]

The setting of the Fallout games have to be embedded in American culture. It would make sense if New York was a setting, but it's already been established that NYC was microwaved into crispy bits.

I vote for Texas for the next game's setting. The Fallout universe hasn't touched that place yet and there are so many monuments like the Alamo and such. Though I would have to murder the shit out of everyone because I really, REALLY hate southern accents.

 

[TheOneBearded]

The new fallout is said to be set in a New York area, which I personally am really looking forward to, because going to the statue of liberty seems so fun and look amazing to play around with.

The engine is said to be Skyrim, which again sounds amazing! I cracked a joke of you coming across random strangers sitting in a house telling you 'I used to be a wanderer like you.... Then I took a bullet to the knee.'

First off, where did you hear that it was going to be in the New York area? Wouldn't it be better to put it in the Midwest - an area which they haven't used yet (New York is similar to DC in some way)?

Second, the next Fallout game cannot use the Creation engine. That engine was contorted to be used for Skyrim and Skyrim alone. It's just too pretty to be used by a empty, depressing Fallout game. If they were to use the engine, it would take too much time and money to change it so it can be used properly by the Fallout universe. Either they stick with the current engine or they make a new one from scratch, which will take a long time.

In my opinion, the Fallout games should stay in the USA. The whole universe centers around the culture of the nation at the time of the war and the bombings. If they were to include Canada, they should not make it the complete map. Give off a piece of the map or half of it to be used for this or make one of the DLCs be located in the Canadian area.
