". . . Fallout 76 is in fact an online survival RPG that’s heavily inspired by games like DayZ and Rust, according to three people familiar with the project."
I'm glad I didn't read that far. Fallout has never been about any of that, or even about multiplayer. I don't know where he gets off calling for this hallowed franchise to ruin itself that way.
I actually find myself agreeing with those claims. I adored Fallout 3. Didn't like Fallout 4. Can't see why we're getting another Fallout so soon unless it's a spin off like an Online MMO or something
Fallout 4 wasn't a fallout game. It offered no choice "HERE ARE THE MINUTEMEN, THEY'RE YOUR BEST FRIENDS, SAVE THEM" I STOPPED playing after getting to the institute and finding I couldn't just kill father then got stuck in a game breaking glitch where the institute guy was just hanging out at the boat making it impossible to further the game because the game CHOSE FOR ME my cooperation with the institute. Fallout 3 and NV were about player choice, 4 wasn't
I know we know nothing yet but that Schrier guy from Kotaku seems to be the "inside" name in gaming right now, something I imagine he doesn't want to sully with an inaccurate scoop
I'd totally be okay with a multiplayer fallout game as long as it felt like fallout and not like an mmo. The elder scrolls online looked cool and very close to the single player experience, but even with first person added, it still felt like mmo combat..i.e. click an enemy and attack.
If this is single player with building in mind, then I'd be fine with that as long as they fixed up the building aspect of fallout 4. But, how cool would it be to meet up with friends and play some fallout... that's like a dream come true for a lot of people I know.
If is MMo than is great waste
If is singleplayer than is great one
We know nothing yet. What is there to argue? Just wait a few days.
"Now if it’s an online Battle Royale style multiplayer game then I’m all in."
Its funny how little I agree with the author
"Fallout 3 was amazing and Fallout 4 was mediocre."
Almost stopped reading . . .
"That being said, if the rumour-mill is on the money and this is some sort of online multiplayer RPG, then it has potential to be something special."
Completely stopped reading. This guy has nothing credible to say to me.
