Dear Bethesda, please make Fallout 5 a turn-based 4X strategy

Reimagining Fallout as a 4X strategy game wouldn’t merely dust the cobwebs off the increasingly stale, series, but help build upon it.

[gangsta_red]

Maybe a spin off Fallout series that would return to the top down, isometric view of the originals (Wasteland). Because I do like the FPS Fallout games but wouldn't mind having another Fallout game in the original format.

[RaidenBlack]

Wouldn't mind an isometric Mass Effect spin-off CRPG, actually.
As for Fallout? A 'Fallout x Wasteland' spin-off would be something special.
Fallout is actually the spiritual successor to the original Wasteland. Both were created by Interplay.
And now ex-Interplay devs are continuing Wasteland series at inXile.
And other ex-Interplay devs are at Obsidian (previously worked on Fallout New Vegas)
A collab would be great.

Sure if Bethesda wants to cut down their potential sales by half if not more. Fact of the matter is turned based games don't sell as well

[Obscure_Observer]

"Fact of the matter is turned based games don't sell as well"

Exactly. Maybe a spin off Fallout series as gangsta mentioned, but never the main series.

[Chriswheeler22]

What the fuck? No lol.

Make a spinoff sure but not a mainline game.

[-Foxtrot]

I don't know

There's not a lot of games which have changed dramatically in terms of gameplay compared to the older games I've liked but this is one of them, I think what Bethesda did with Fallout 3 was the right call.

Maybe a spin off? However Bethesda need to think long and hard about Fallout 5 after Fallout 4, while it was okay it did take a step back in some places compared to Fallout 3, especially with New Vegas aswell. Even something small like going after unique weapons which were kind of present in Fallout 4 but not in the same capacity thanks to them adding randomized weapon part combos / crafting.

[Silly Mammo]

Rockstar. Please make GTA6 a top down game. Return it to its gaming roots. /s

[porkChop]

Yeah... I'm fine with shaking up the formula a little bit and improving things, but a turn based 4x strategy game? That's a pretty radical change for a mainline game. I don't know what's going on but I've seen a lot of really terrible takes from the games media lately.

[Nismo458]

No

[Vanfernal]

Dear Bethesda, please give the franchise to Obsidian who actually know what they're doing.

[BlackTar187]

Yes please

[Flawlessmic]

Ahhhhhh how about no!!

What a terrible idea to ruin a perfectly good rpg game

[TheLigX]

Hard pass

[moriarty1889]

No Bethesda……please do not make the next mainline game a turn based game.

[Muigi]

I can see a Fallout Tactics spinoff but a mainline entry hell no!

[redhawkcrisis]

who keeps asking for turn based?! Who!?!!!!!

[Spenok]

This is a stupid ask...

[VivaChe]

Maybe its just me but I would like just another Fallout along the lines of 3, New Vegas and 4. New location, some improvements, but the same format. I like Fallout games!

[masterfox]

no.

[anast]

Fallout/Civ....Not sure this would hit it out of the park. It might be a good idea as long as it isn't a mobile game or released as Fallout 5.

[LordoftheCritics]

Lol.

[Aussiesummer]

God, no way!

[Terry_B]

,,dear Bethesda..just release a Fallout game without hundreds of bugs.

[ChasterMies]

Dear Bethesda, please don’t listen to knowtechie.com. Make a modern Fallout game that doesn’t look and play like garbage. Maybe look into Unreal Engine.

[RaiderNation]

My god, 1997 called and wants it's game back, LOL!

That would be absolute commercial suicide for that franchise if they went in that direction with the main series! Are you mad?? As a spinoff? Sure. Hell release it on mobile. But if Bethesda came out and announced Fallout 5 as a turn-based isometric game, the blowback would be staggering!

[Lionsguard]

Please make Elder Scrolls 6 a Text based game like Zork.

[anast]

Or a platformer?

[Stanjara]

Dear don'tKNOWtechie, please play Wasteland or whatever, and stop writing garbage.

[dumahim]

4x?

[FPS_D3TH]

Hahahaha no

[Obscure_Observer]

Please don´t.

[z2g]

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I don’t think fallout5 should be that at all. If people want that, they should do a spin-off. Like how Halo Wars is a real-time strategy game, but doesn’t mess with the main line Halo games that people have expectations for and play for those reasons.

[UncertainCategory]

Absolutely no. Bethesda should however give the IP over to Obsidian.

[SimpleSlave]

Yakuza Like a Drag-oh-hell-no PTSD whiplash intensified...

At least Fallout was a turn-based game to begin with.

[QuePasa87]

No

[Fonsecap]

Please don't. But they could make it more RPG like FO Vegas and less FPS FO4, that would be a good decision imo.

[BlackIceJoe]

I'd be down for Fallout Tactics 2, but not a mainline game.

[lex-1020]

"An increasingly stale Series"?

So stale that it sells millions of copies every release.

Look you can thing Fallout 4 was garbage and Fallout 76 was a disaster but the series certainly isn't stale.

[jznrpg]

I’d be all for it but the casuals won’t buy it so they won’t make it .
