Can Bethesda Make Fallout 4 The Best Game Of The Next Generation?

Fallout 3 stands as one of the greatest games of the generation and Bethesda one of its leading developers. Fallout 4 is the most anticipated game that hasn't been announced. If it was real, could it be even better than 3?

raWfodog3877d ago

Hopefully they can get the PS4 version of the game right since they had so much trouble with PS3 versions of their games.

YNWA963877d ago

It is already the best game of next gen! :)

Blacktric3877d ago (Edited 3877d ago )

Can't wait to see how many new ways Bethesda will come up to rape the already established lore of Interplay AND their own games. I mean, they were pretty successful regarding that with Fallout 3 and Mothership Zeta.

Mr Tretton3877d ago

I don't think a whole lot of people give 2 shits about Fallout's 'established lore'. It's a reboot of the series, a series that not a lot people played as far as the originals.

Blacktric3877d ago (Edited 3877d ago )

"It's a reboot of the series"

No. It really, really is not.

From Wikia wiki;

"Fallout 3 is a post-apocalyptic computer and console role-playing game that has been developed and published by Bethesda Softworks as a sequel to Interplay's Fallout and Fallout 2."

And you really don't have to have too much information to realize that it's a direct sequel since there are many references to the events that took place in first two games along with some returning characters like Harold. Recently released Tomb Raider game is a reboot. F3 is not. It's a funny thing that you're willing to go as far as to claim it being a reboot as an excuse for subpar writing though.

Sounds like someone is a butthurt interplay fan.

Xof3877d ago

*shrug* It happens. It happens every time a story goes from writer A to writer B. And it's not like Fallout 3 did a complete 180 on all of the principal themes of the original setting, as was the case with Mass Effect 3.

...

@Mr Tretton: actually, among fans (i.e. the non-casuals) the lore of the Fallout games and Elder Scrolls games is one of the absolutely biggest attractions. It's easily in the top three, next to customization and exploration.

"And it's not like Fallout 3 did a complete 180 on all of the principal themes of the original setting."

I think some would consider "Aliens were the ones who fired nukes of America and China against each other" a complete 180.

Absolutely! The fallout games are some of the best games I have played for the current consoles. Loved 3 and New Vegas.

Might I suggest setting the new fallout on the west coast, preferably San Francisco.

NewVegasTroop3877d ago

do you know of the existence of Fallout 1 and Fallout 2? because those take place in California a.k.a the west coast. and its not Fallout "Las Vegas" it's New Vegas :D

XboxFun3877d ago (Edited 3877d ago )

No, I have never played the originals but people have told me those are really good. And some even prefer those over the consoles.

And what are you talking about, I put New Vegas....

;-)

Gster3877d ago

Nah man, it's comin to Dublin, up the Dubs! :p

mewhy323877d ago

The fallout games are awesome, that's for sure. However, to try and guess if a developer can make the best game of a generation this early would be unwise. Can they make a fantastic game, absolutely. Will they do their level best? Absolutely.

angry_gods3870d ago

Don't ever make opinions on a game when you only played the newest ones........

It will be an amazing game but best game of next gen...no

I still can't believe they won GOTY with Skyrim, Studio of the Year at the VGAs and even Skyrim won Game of the generation on Amazon going head to head with the Last of Us

LucasEVille3877d ago (Edited 3877d ago )

The comment about The Division and the car door made me smile.... That car door is the most famous on N4G. The seemlessness of the action is so beautiful.

Anyway! Back on subject! I came into Fallout late with starting with New Vegas and I love that game. Not sure if that made me bias but when I tried to play backwards to Fallout 3 it just didn't hit me the same way.

NewVegasTroop3877d ago

I hope Obsidian is given another Fallout game, they make the best stories, but a Bethesda Fallout is also great! Fallout 4 is my most anticipated next gen game, even if there is no news of its existence.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave12h ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto12h ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno12h ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai11h ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Idc about skins and a couple weapons. Would've much preferred some added story or quests.

babadivad17h ago

New Powered Armour would have been nice.

FPS_D3TH15h ago

X0-2 power armor is new power armor.

FPS_D3TH15h ago

There’s one new quest as far as I know. Not sure how large, but involves the enclave.

shinoff218315h ago

O dope I must of overlooked that. Thanks.

Crows9014h ago

Frankly happy if they didn't really change anything...this means New London can probably launch sooner

RaidenBlack14h ago

Yea ... can't wait for FO London

ChasterMies10h ago

Skins, in addition to being your largest organ, have been content in games for a long time. Ever heard of pre-order bonuses?

Profchaos16h ago

Seems odd in all honesty that the game has the option for high res and 60 fps when there's console mods for the xsx that run the game at 4k 60 are they updating the art assets that much.

Guess it's Bethesda no no shock might finally look like a PS4 gen game now instead of a PS3.5 like it did on PS4.

I love the game don't get me wrong it's my favourite in the franchise yet it never actually looked at good as many other games at the time did and it ran pretty badly with long load times it actually is the reason why I put a SSD in my PS4.

LostPotato14h ago

There games are never going to look like other modern games due to their engine.

Bethesda will keep using the creation engine so can't understand why people can't accept it.

Also 4K textures eat a lot of memory and it's not feasible to make every gamer use them.

SimpleSlave13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Will I finally be able to play the game with the Explosion and Ammunition Lighting Reflection Mod at a cinematic 24fps? Nooice!

jznrpg9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Changing the weapons system would have been nice. I hate the random combo system as you mostly get junk. I got 1 good weapon on my run. I definitely didn’t want to keep reloading saves to try and get a decent weapon
