Fallout 76 - online Fallout spinoff from Bethesda - now on Steam with Wastelanders NPC expansion

[Tehdagah]

‘76 will be bad because it’s neither fish nor fowl. You can’t make a fun multiplayer world with no NPCs that’s only populated with 24-32 people. All the interactions, all the conflict with sentient creatures, it will boil down to 23 other people. 23 people sharing a world four times the size of Fallout 4. You need to be massively multiplayer for something like this to work.
.

I guess you never played Rust or Ark ?

Todd keeps talking about drama between players but how the hell do you build drama when there aren’t enough people in the game to fill a school bus?

Theres enough people, in those 100+ multiplayer games it often gets too crowded and you can't do anything because either you die or other people take resources for you and in effect you cant play solo.

24-32 i think is the best number, maybe on the lower side, 50 might be ok, but 32 is still ok.

This is going to be much bigger than a standard Rust map, with a fifth of the standard number of players. Keep in mind, there are no NPCs because players are supposed to take their place. I watched the documentary and BGS clearly wanted to support a lot more players on a server but they couldn’t make it work. The Austin guys implied that they had scaled back dramatically.

They know they can make some pretty environments, slap Fallout on the box and it will sell.

Imagine caring about NPCs in an online game.

All this 'Bethesda and Fallout' business makes me strangely angry (angry and sad). Usually, that's not how I am. Why are you doing this to me, Bethesda?..

It has happened, Fallout 76 trailer overtaken Elder Scrolls VI trailer by 1 million

 

[RNGsus]

Crunch the numbers for us Makabb, how many views does each trailer have?

Probably because the entire content of the TES VI “trailer” can be captured with a screenshot.

Fallout 6 mln now, ES 5 mln, Starfield only 1 mln, but it's a new IP so its understandable.

 

[Makabb]

inb4 Fallout 76 is a massive success and Bethesda changes TES VI to Battle Royale lololol

 

[Tehdagah]

Nice.

 

[fantadomat]

It is natural that fallout trailer will be more viewed,it is a game that will come in few months while skyrim will come out in a few years.

 

[Mech]

I like the giant sloth. That shit is amusing and terrifying.

i see what you did there.

 

[Makabb]

Pfft, Bethesda may have cancelled their ability to make it, but everybody knows it was vaporware anyway.

Probably for the best Interplay never finished it, it would be a worse version of F76

The owl looking thing is probably influenced by the Flatwoods Monster. The giant sloth is probably because West Virginia's state fossil is Megalonyx jeffersonii which is a giant ground sloth or something.

I think the scorch beast is the snallygaster not #9? But then again the description of a snallygaster shows to be something like, "The Snallygaster was described as half-reptile, half-bird with a metallic beak lined with razor-sharp teeth, occasionally with octopus-like tentacles."

Anyway, that's a lot of additions for one game.

Not really when 90% of the games assets already existed.

I'm not talking about technically/workload wise. I'm talking about how many things we've never seen before showing up. You're totally right though, it's mostly reused assets. I feel like it's odd because didn't Fallout 3 show like two new enemies? Mirelurks and Bloatflies? And Bloatflies are nothing interesting in my opinion.

I just feel like we should have had only Ghouls and basic animals from 1 and 2 in 3. Otherwise, there should have been new enemies like this instead of Super Mutants and Centaurs.

lol, one has played the game even yet, it's not released and you talk about those things like they are set in stone, Todd said they are constantly changing things now, again, I doubt that they will let other people see you on map.

Yes, son. And New Zealand would win the World Cup this time round, eh?

There is a BETA for this purpose, the game will change before its even released.

A beta you have to pay to get in. That's called "Early Access". Or "Being a fucking sucker".

Anyone who pays for access to the beta is fucking retarded.

It is also why I predict they will have an open beta when they realize their beta testers are indeed retarded and unable to do the job properly.

 

[Gerrard]

I can only imagine how retarded the feedback of LARPers will be, I almost feel bad for anyone who will have to sift through them.

 

[Squid]

Lmao. Yeah, never pay to help a company fix their game. If you want in on the preorder beta you could always find a place that you can preorder without paying in full get the BETA code and cancel the preorder and the smaller deposit back. People used to always do that.

 

[illuknisaa]

Hey man stop stealing my meme.

 

[Bigg Boss]

That looks even cooler if you imagine it in slow motion.

 

[Alienman]

Hey man stop stealing my meme.

With the new EU directive you will be able to copyright it... or maybe Bethesda will.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Dumbfuck teenagers wearing armors painted in faggoty colors teabagging deathclaws.

This is what Fallout will be from now on.

Enjoy it, because Bethesda absolutely saved Fallout! Without Fallout 3 we couldn't have NV after all!
