Three Things We Want From Fallout 4

Gary Swaby of TheKoalition.com writes:
Recently our editor in chief Richard Bailey wrote an awesome article 13 Games that will be revealed in 2013. But after his article went live rumours started circulating that Fallout 4 would be revealed by Bethesda this year. I for one am extremely excited at the possibility of a new Fallout game developed by Bethesda. Fallout: New Vegas was cool but we all know that Fallout is rightfully Bethesda territory, and nobody can nail the post-apocalyptic intensity like them.

Fallout 3 was one of my favourite games this generation, and it did a lot of things right. So I don’t have a typical list of 5 things I want from Fallout 4, but I do have 3. Let us know if you agree with this wishlist below.

If you're a Fallout fan, you should check out this article and see if you agree or disagree with the theories brought up.

Daver4111d ago

I would like to see some kind of online component like demon's souls/dark soul's but more fallout oriented like maybe show on the map where your friends are or some kind of hint on the map left by your friends, something like that would be nice.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4111d ago (Edited 4111d ago )

I want them to make it for pc first. Wouldn't want this game to pull a RE,Splinter cell, Dead space 3 and before the wider audience.

grailly4111d ago

I mostly agree, though the things they wanted were mainly: "make it better!"

I disagree though that the faction weren't good. I loved having the factions in fallout: NV, starting a few missions with each and having to make a choice once they asked you to attack another one was fun. It also introduced very different endings which is greatly appreciated. Hey, it's nice to see choices have consequences, for once!

More Unique Weapons.....I love the challenge of finding those things, especially if your a low level. I used to try and get the Vengeance in Death Claw Sanctuary when I just came out of the vault, I used to go to the tec museum to get some Stealth boys then go....it was tense.

Shame they don't offer that kind of challenge in Elder Scrolls.....mostly everything is just randomly generated weapons wise.

Oh and I know this might sound harsh but don't add children if we can't kill them...look at Mayor Mcreedy in the last game, he was a little prick and I couldn't even blow his smug head off.

grailly4111d ago

I think they should make the weapon plans easier to find. I didn't build many weapons because I never really had the plans for them.

but I agree, more unique weapons.

PhoenixRising374111d ago

i want one of these 2 things:
1: take away enemies that fire on you from afar because the player can't shoot at long range without a sniper rifle but the enemies can.
2: give the player the ability to fire far away accurately.

more than often i would lose a ton of health from enemies firing at me from a mile away with SMG's and Pistols.

FunkMacNasty4111d ago

I highly disagree with the artcle's #2 point:

#2 - Make loot more meaningful. The author says that theres tons of loot but all he needs is ammo and health?? Whaaaat!? I found every piece of loot in the Fallout universe to be worth something, even if nothing more than a handful of bottle caps at a vendor - especially when you have recipies/blueprints to make weapons and potions.. you'll wind up looking for coveted and abstract things like railroad spikes, steam guages and toy cars.. And remember the "Rock-IT launcher" from Fallout 3??? Once you build that thing, every peice of loot became valuble ammo. Shooting a teddy bear and bowling pins at enemies at high velocity ftw!!

If there's one thing I want from the next Fallout, its a higher level cap. I could play that game all day!

RDR2 in the top ten is impressive. Bethesda games will drop off the list in a month.

thesoftware7305h ago

Lol, you hate Bethesda so much now because they are owned by MS, not realizing that those games are all on PS, that most likely the reason they are back on the list, which by the way is excellent for 3 single players games that is really old...so your salt means nothing, we don't expect them to be on the list for months, shit we didn't expect to be on the list now given how old they are.

Bravo to a successful franchise and now T.V show.

anast4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I'm not lying. The longevity of RDR2 is impressive. The Bethesda games will drop in a month.

ZeekQuattro20h ago

I've been playing FO3 and NV and will no doubt start up 4 again when the current gen patch drops.

neutralgamer199214h ago

There was a rumor that Bethesda maybe doing FO3/NV remastered collection. I hope they do and bring some quality of life improvements. Both games are awesome but could be better if done right given the remastered treatment

ZeekQuattro7h ago

I don't mind the backwards compatible versions on the Microsoft store honestly.Both 3 and NV have quick load times and FPS boost. I originally played FO3 on the PS3 so it felt like a different game to me with those changes alone. My FO3: GOTY expierence on the PS3 was bad enough I didn't even bother with NV until I got a XBO.

I wouldn't say no to a remaster however. Feels like now would be the time to announce it what with a hit show boosting awareness for the IP. We'll see what happens.

Duke1910h ago

Loving the show and it 100% has me itching to boot up a FO again. The only question is whether to replay 3, NV or 4

Michiel19899h ago

The show is really good, it's everything I expect from a video game adaptation. The main audience being the fans of the franchise, new viewers not being the target audience was not what I was expecting.

Demetrius4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

They been doing good on game love action series nowadays that's wassup I'm glad they managed to catch the fallout vibe in the show

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.

-Foxtrot3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

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.

Andrew3363d ago

Why not? It's only gonna be available on PC and is not backed by Bethesda at all

-Foxtrot3d ago

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.

FPS_D3TH3d ago

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.

Richhard13d ago

No point on the update, you can get 60fps anyway with mods.

Fonsecap3d ago

The update will break much more then it will fix... At least on PC.

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot7d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot076d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH6d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

saint_seya5d ago

I though it was a new Killzone when i saw the image, looks like a hellghast..
