Cain on Games - Tim Cain's new YouTube channel

How Fallout got its name.

At some point he's going to notice that no one is asking him to talk about Otter Worlds.

Even in 1996 they were considering the name "The New World" which Colony Ship was initially called but says that "there are so many things wrong with that one". Boyarsky's name was "The Rust Age" which IMO isn't a bad one.

Edit:
spritefrog0693: Could you speak about why the Fallout exe has your face on it?

Tim Cain: Programmer Chris Jones did that secretly (along with my head exploding in the credits), and my face was only supposed to show up in the rare situation (rare in 1997) that someone set Windows to show Large icons. Now that setting is the default, so you get my face.

This channel is a gem. I wish Avellone would do something similar.

i wish he wouldnt, avellone has nothing interesting to say about gamedev

While I agree in principle about not calling it Vault 13, he was overthinking it. No one cares that Baldur's Gate II has nothing to do with Baldur's Gate.

I think the main problem isn't the fact that it would have nothing to do with Vault 13, it's having numerals in the first game. You can't just call it Vault 13 2: Electric Vaultaloo.

Still comes across as overthinking to me.

Vault 69: Vault Dweller creampie adventures.

How Fallout got its name.

Interesting thing is that among a few names suggested by marketing department, there were games in the future that had similar names. I guess marketing departments all work the same.

So, are you thinking about a sequel name like Vault 13: sbtitle, or releasing a sequel under different name, or maybe about somethink else? What would be the solution in this matter?

Vault 13 2. It doesn't matter.

Final Fantasy XIII-2.

 

[Infinitron]

They'd obviously have called the sequel Vault 14.

Hiroshima Revisited

 

[Melcar]

Se he came up with the silly "the vaults are experiments" bit?

 

[Vincente]

Filler video, see you guys tomorrow.

 

[NecroLord]

Ugh.
The Outer Worlds...

 

[Roguey]

Already extremely likely, but specifically confirmed:

Tim are you involved in the development of The Outer Worlds 2?

Yes I am!

 

[spockthewok]

Took Tim less than 24 hours to take matters into his own hands...

 

[NecroLord]

Outer Worlds 2.
Get the fuck outta here...

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

What would be more on brand for The Outer Worlds than a comically bad sequel nobody wants?

 

[NecroLord]

Can't wait to be sassed by purple haired niggers while they give my character quests in Outer Worlds 2.
Actually, that's more like Real Life in the West Simulator.

 

[Maldoror]

The Outer Worlds was good. Going to do a third playthrough soon.
