As the new year begins, Jay outlines ten suprising predictions for 2014.
If you were excited about the Fallout 4 London mod, we have some bad news for you. The mod has been delayed indefinitely thanks to Fallout 4 next-gen update.
Not a bad thing. They've even shown excitement at what the update could bring to making things better for them. More work? Yeah. But, still a good thing overall.
I think this looks pretty great so they should take as much time as they need.
It’s kind of shame however we’ll probably never get to see an official Fallout London game or anything set in the UK now because of the mod.
Why not? It's only gonna be available on PC and is not backed by Bethesda at all
Because Bethesda might think "Meh, London has already been done with that Mod, they've taken the shine away from it and if we do it now they might think we're copying"
Something along those lines.
While I’d love to see more world building lore in Fallout, I’d be surprised if Fallout ever ventured beyond a United States setting. Maybe a dlc to a main game though. Always wondered what other places would look like, if they too had the 50s culture with futuristic tech.
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
The Fallout player base is beginning to grow in a resurgence following the release of the critically acclaimed TV show.
I bet they feel pretty stupid not allowing someone else, possibly Obsidian to do a Fallout game because they could have released it this year near the TV show to capitalise on it.
You know what the funny thing is...literally 10 MINUTES after making that comment I've just seen what they've done.
I mean it was a chalk board and it still feels a bit ambiguous in places but they didn't actually just do that...right?
@ -Foxtrot. Based on a lot that I've read of your comments, i though we were on the same page (physical media etc non digital at nauseam...) . As Canon, I thought they did pretty well (I'm a hardcore fan), they delved into a pretty decent tie in to expand on for season 2, let alone fan service with nods to certain gameplay aspects along the way. I hope you've watched it to appreciate it 'for what it is', It's good. (Loved seeing Red Rocket station in Ep 7, goosebumps galore throughout the 8 Eps they did let alone that)
Obsidian has been working on two RPGs (Avowed and the Outer Worlds 2) for the past few years. TV shows and films can be produced much faster than video games.
I meant it as in if they just let Obsidian do this years ago before The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed was in production. This could have been their next game instead.
Eh depends,development hell can take many years in movies and tv series. Fallout tv series was announced 4 years ago, which was also the main development time of Fallout 4.
But yeah Bethesda was already in full production of Starfield and working on Elders Scrolls on the side. Obsidian was already with Microsoft (while Beth was not) and busy with Grounded and Pentiment. So minor updates/dlcs for their latest games was probably the best they could do.
I would have outsourced a remaster/remake of Fallout 3 to align with the release tv series.
@-Foxtrot
From what I gather they'd rather do Avowed and Outer worlds at this point. Doesn't sound like the current Obsidian really desires to go back to New Vegas at this time.
"I bet they feel pretty stupid not allowing someone else, possibly Obsidian to do a Fallout game because they could have released it this year near the TV show to capitalise on it."
They´ll certainly take advantage of the next gen upgrade, coming to Xbox Series, PS5 and PC.
“They´ll certainly take advantage of the next gen upgrade, coming to Xbox Series, PS5 and PC.”
You mean ‘current’ gen, right? ;)
If you thought '76 made Fallout feel mainstream, now we have a TV show that looks like a cosplay convention. The clean duds and Garbage Kid- Looking power suits (Head scale) are killing me. I think that it's nice that there's something for tv viewers to glimpse at why people like Fallout, but they are only getting a filterd down, made for series-seasonal tv (ew), passanger's flattened persfective with no risk based upon actions or consequese or social/non-social stangings that are experienced in the game.
The series represent's itself as a Fallout the tv show for people that need that kind of pacing (again ew), not the Fallout the game. Some people will dig this. I can see them having reason to, considering everying the show is borrowing to make it something Falloutish. It not for me, and I'm cool with that.
I am a MASSIVE fallout fan, I have a computer desk shine THAT IS FALLOUT and no other. The show was amazing to me, and bias had nothing to do with that, my trepidation was ultimate. The tie in to 'something' New Vegas, had me cheering like a sports fan at the end there (I have the collectors edition, and covet its mint condition highly) and I hate sports. I love a lot of other gaming, movie and TV show things, what they have done its pretty damn cool to me.
Checking out the show possibly tonight or tomorrow for sure. Hope it’s as good as everyone says.
i definitely hope Agent is announced as PS4 exclusive....that would be awesome
No 11: Servers Getting hacked more frequently!
Titanfall will not come close to touching COD this year simply because its gonna miss out on the unstoppable PS4 hype train. Destiny... I'm not sure but they are making a play from their Halo playbook (beta access) so its gonna be a quality product when it launches for sure. Destiny may beat COD and Activision will be laughing all the way to the bank.
Bold predictions my ass...
I am definitely want to see how well Destiny will do to compete against COD and Halo.
