Fallout 4 Pre-Announcement Bullshit Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Lemming42]

The Fallout setting would work better if it didn't seem to completely change with every new game. I like New Vegas's "post-post-apocalyptic" setting though.

 

[Daedalos]

Leave NV alone people.

It's a game worthy of the fallout name.

wat

NV is up there with FO 1 & 2.

DUDE... are you fucking kidding... like really? seriously? what the fuck are you smoking.. I want some... hand it over.. RIGHT NOW

For a really bleak game, you could have an icy apocalypse in the jungle. The rest of the world is completely uninhabitable, and with the jungles now dead, man's days are numbered. The game would be visually interesting - imagine huge trees coated in ice, frozen swamps and rivers, blizzards impairing your visibility in the deep jungle...snowblind in the dead forest, you slowly realize that you're not alone...

Now we're shitting on post-apocalyptic settings? seriously wtf is wrong with you people? Why did you even contribute to this game if you don't care for post-apocalyptic settings all of a sudden?

There was/is a Fallout 4 kickstarter? That's pretty low from Bethesda given that they're rolling in the money.

Lol for some reason I thought I was in the wasteland 2 thread. Still applies somewhat though.

Let's tell this brilliant idea to Obsidian guys.

We have found a great setting for a new game here. It's called Fall-In. This game is set in alternate future where world war 3 with nuclear bombs has happened. Funny thing is world's culture never evolved from 40's.

We start as one of the descendants of people who entered the Safe 113 before the bombs hit the country. Safe's are giant nuclear shelter complexes over the land which houses 100-150 inhabitants that also seems to house some sinister motives underlying it.

We wake up one night and Overmaster calls us to his toilet. He tells us about a broken food chip and tells us we have to find a new one. He tells us there is another safe in the east where we can probably find it. After that he pats our back and tells us we are the only hope vault has for the future. We set out after this. We open the giants windows of the Safe 113 and reload our trusted Colt 7210 1 cm pistol to get ready for some good old fashioned "rat diplomacy". We go out, we discuss philosophy with rats and shoot them in their ass. As we step closer to the exit, we saw our first moonlight of our life. This is a good sign for things to come. Then we step out to the desert...

For a really bleak game, you could have an icy apocalypse in the jungle. The rest of the world is completely uninhabitable, and with the jungles now dead, man's days are numbered. The game would be visually interesting - imagine huge trees coated in ice, frozen swamps and rivers, blizzards impairing your visibility in the deep jungle...snowblind in the dead forest, you slowly realize that you're not alone...

If nothing else, we can always drool over the game's concept art.

I want a post-apocalyptic world with Vampires. And blackjack and hookers.

 

[Lady_Error]

How about a post-apocalyptic game in a steampunk universe - 1800's technology instead of 1950's?

 

[shihonage]

You mean like Arcanum?

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

The Banner Saga could qualify as icy post apocalyptic.
Although, I haven't been following the details too closely other than that it is TB.

 

[Lady_Error]

Yeah, post-apocalyptic Arcanum - maybe without magic?

Or how about post-apocalyptic The Wire? Since we're on the topic...

Fallout 3

I wanted to contribute to the thread a little too.

I've been waiting for Fallout 3 for 10 years since 1998. When it came out I played it and it was okay. I mean, everyone played it and it was okay for everyone. I've walked through 2 times. But there was no feeling that it was the game I've waited.
Later New Vegas appeared, which was pretty surprising to me. I felt that it had much more Fallout feel. I liked it, but I never touched it after I completed it once. I do not want to.
Still I walk through FO 1 & 2 sometimes, I've made 3-4 runs of the firth and 5-6 of the second. They are the games one can walk through any number of times.

Later when some info about Fallout 4 appeared, some of my friends (who are into Fallout 3-New Vegas A LOT) started to send me messages like: "OMG OMG FALLOUT 4!!11". And I really felt annoyed by it and I realized that I just don't care about Fallout 4, I do not anticipate it, I have no interest. The franchise just became an overrated mainstream AAA action RPG. It's obvious of course.

On the other hand I somehow enjoyed Skyrim pretty much. I had no plans to play it, my friend bought it for my Bday in 2011, so I gave it a try and actually I got consumed. It just had a nice feeling of adventures/exploration. So if Fallout 4 will be a "Skyrim with guns" maybe it'll work. I mean I can get some fun out of it, but still it won't be Fallout.

About Bethesda making an isometric turn-based spin-off it sounds impossible. How can anybody even consider it?

About the setting - yeah, the classic wasteland/desert post-apocalypse is rather generic and some new interesting settings like Metro 2033 already appeared.

No crack ?

Post apoc is fine, but we're all they way up to 4 in Fallouts. It wouldn't be a bad thing if they were made by the original devs, but since this is Bethesda, expect more streamlining, dumbing down, terrible writing and a retarded engine. And then Obsidian has to try and polish that turd into something passable

Or how about post-apocalyptic The Wire? Since we're on the topic...

Well that would be quite a trick. The world has gone to shit, humanity is reduced to livinng off scraps, but nevermind that, we need to stop these black people selling crack!

 

[Taxnomore]

Just change the goddamn setting. Move it from America to Europe or Asia. I know Fallout is traditionally USA stuff, but come on, they should just take some risks as of now.

 

[shihonage]

What's the point in changing the setting... it's still a wasteland. Any any cosmetic elements that separate one place from another are largely removed, broken, looted, etc.

 

[Jedi Exile]

Fallout belongs in the USA. Not that it matters since Bethesda fucked everything up, but still. Other countries could be shown in DLCs, but the main game should be set in America, because Fallout is about what happened to the USA after the nuclear apocalypse, it is the essential part of the setting and you can't remove it.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

GUNZ are more freely available in Kwa!! Post Apocalyptic Europe will have a lot less guns than post apocalyptic Kwa, since during the nuclear war a lot less firearms will be there with civilians. Unless you are a melee fetishist like ERYFKRAD it will be a lot less fun. Keep post apocalyptic stuff in Kwa only.

Exactly. Just like how in Planescape: Torment, Planescape is the essential part of the setting and can't be removed. Oh wait.

I'm quite certain you could make a proper Fallout game in any post apoc setting. Unless you began with F3 where they shove that AMURICA shit down your throat constantly, I can't understand why you think the game being in the USA is so critical. F1 had very little to do with the USA and would have been just as successful had it taken place anywhere else. The lore is all about the USA but any writer could whip up some Asian or European back story and tie it all together.

 

[tuluse]

Fallout is a western set in the post apocalypse. Without that western feel to it, it's not Fallout.

 

[Whiner]

I want something like this,but in RPG:

 

[hexer]

The screenshot reminds me of that movie when they go back in time, kill a butterfly and then all shit breaks loose in the future. Can't remember the name but it was a relatively new movie.
