Are you getting antsy for Fallout 4? And how are you biding : Fallout Series Discussion

» Fri May 04, 2012 5:33 am

Way back in the day, before you were born (1997-1998), there was a time when console game machines were cartridge games and CD games were still pretty new. Home PCs were rare and PC gaming still rarer. This was a time before we had computers in our pockets and most internet was still through the phoneline.

So you can't use sales from games back then and compair them to sales of today without looking at the historical context. For games of their time, they sold very well. So you should learn your history and think in terms of historical context.

Remember, stay in School :tops:

That's a bit of an overstatement (I knew plenty of PC gamers in the mid-late 90s, it was just less acceptable for non-kids to admit to being gamers), but your point stands. And there were far fewer video game awards to be won and far fewer dedicated VG media entities to give them out. Video games are a much, much bigger business now. Practically everyone games and the industry makes more money than Hollywood.

But even so, I don't think Fallout and Fallout 2 would do nearly as well if the were released today. Of course I don't think they would be the same games if they were developed now, either. The style and pace of the originals was much more in line with the games of that era than the games of this era, imo. I'm sure I would have appreciated them more as a gamer had I played them then than I did when I played them for the first time recently.

Yeah, bethesda made their first fallout and it outsold and got more awards than beforius fallouts combined. That proofs that fallout 3 was plain superior game compared to old fallouts.

Downloaded it some ages a go and deleted soon after. Just plain horrible game. I dont care if its supposted to be fallouts "ancestor". When game svcks then it plain svcks.

You act like sales and awards means a game is good, with that logic Call of Duty Modern Black Ops 3 is the best game ever made, and Avatar is the best movie ever made.

Besides if I remember correctly New Vegas broke a series record with how much money it made, so that means it made more then Fallout 3, and with your logic its better.

I'm trying to tell you that you should think before you type.

Also did you open Wasteland, see the graphics, said it svcked and delete it? because so far Wasteland is a pretty interesting and fun game with some really great and fun writing.

You mean 'beforius'.

I'm driving myself crazy thinking about it. To deal with it I'm reading Fallout fanfics and thinking about another tour of duty in the Wastes.

School, hangin' out with friends, and currently writing a Fan-Fiction.

I'm biding my time tinkering with mods and tweaking the geck. Just not into skyrim at all at the moment. Currently looking forward to:

Dead State
I am Alive - looks interesting, may have to buy an xbox.
Wastelands 2

Yes, I can't believe we haven't heard even confirmation that it's in the works and it might get done in the next 5 years or something. I'm busy looking for work and failing classes.

» Fri May 04, 2012 3:13 pm

Yeah I am, that's why I came back to the forums.....but now I'm more interested in Wasteland 2 even thought I never ever saw a second of gameplay before kickstarter got mentioned. I've kinda lost hope for Fallout 4 and I hope that bethesda do something better, Even Skyrim seemed to get great reviews all around on release but now everyone is disappointed with it too, even my 16 year old cousin said it got boring quick. Maybe until something actually gets announced, I might just forget about it, because the more I think about it the more annoyed I get with how the newer games turned out and the high chances of getting essentially more of the same from bethesda.

starting to get a little antsy because i am worried that Obsidian ruined Bethesda's skill to make a fallout game, plus they don't spend enough time listenning to the community, but anyways ive been spending part of my time trying to convince Bethesda to put a co-op mode in the next fallout. about the obsidian thing about them being the original creators of fallout, they ran out of money for a reason.

Bethesda never had the skill to make a Fallout game.

Obsidian ruined Bethesda's skill to make a fallout game

what does that even mean? and how is that possible.

» Fri May 04, 2012 1:09 pm

No. I've given them two chances already with wasted money. [censored] them.

If you hate Beth and FO3, why bother reading these forums or posting? I dislike a great many things, and I sure don't join web boards owned by the creators of things I hate, just to express how much I hate them and their creation.

Like... hrmmm.

Anywho. In my spare time I have been playing Tactics. And may play FO 1 again.

Biding time by playing the Ultimate Edition of New Vegas :smile:

and was playing FO2 before i picked up the Ult. Ed. :smile:

It means Obsidian are much better at making a Fallout game, and now it's back to Bethesda, Bethesda will fail in comparison

...that doesn't make sense with what he said, I don't think that's what he meant.

» Fri May 04, 2012 7:21 am

Sure it would be cool to hear something, even if it is just a confirmation, anything, aside from that, not hugely bothered. To kill the time, pretty much anything HBO do, currently working my way through Boardwalk Empire, and as for gaming, Mass Effect 3, and re-doing Fallout 2.

» Fri May 04, 2012 5:50 am

To be honest, I am getting a little antsy for news, because I was kinda pissed that Skyrim took precedence over Fallout 4 at all. Seriously, I've been playing RPG's EXACTLY like Skyrim as long as I can remember, and I have to say, magic, swords, and dragons are kinda getting old. Even the shooter industry that brought us COD caught on that WWII shooters were getting stale and jumped ship before it was too late, while Bethedsa sidelines their enormously successful reboot of the Fallout series for another cliche and unimaginative RPG. I love RPG's, but I really wish they would move past this 'quasi-medieval' theme, and I think Fallout is the answer to that. Why Bethedsa hasn't made Fallout their flagship franchise and kicked TES to the curb yet is simply beyond me, but I digress. /rant over.

» Fri May 04, 2012 6:50 am

Considering Skyrim was announced approximately 1 year after its release, I expect Fallout 4 to be announced by the end of this year, hopefully :biggrin:

» Fri May 04, 2012 3:22 pm

Yes I would really like to hear some news on the next Fallout soon. Even just to hear Bethesda have started working on the next game. Although I dont want the next Fallout game to be rushed at all. In the meantime I've been replaying New Vegas and Skyrim over and over again. They never get boring as long as you use your imagination and keep coming up with new ideas for role playing. Also i sometimes play other non role playing games but nothing beats Fallout for me so i keep coming back to it.

» Fri May 04, 2012 6:58 am

Restating my stance... No I'm not really "antsy" at all anymore. Infact, the longer it takes, the better - maybe the (likely) reskinning of Skyrim will feel more fresh when an adequately long time has passed. I couldn't care less if they annouced yet another open world hiking sim in near future, but I can't really drop out from following Fallout before I can be certain that the final nail has been hit. So yeah, the longer it takes, the better.

Hello all.

Like many of you, I am starting to feel depraved for our beloved game, and am tragically horrified at the notion of it possibly being 2013 before we get any news, much less the game itself. So I'm dropping in just to see if you guys are starting to get antsy for an announcement of the return of our prized game series, and what your estimation would be for an an announcement date.

Additionally, I was just curious as to how my fellow Falloutites were coping with this time in the desert.
What, from a gaming standpoint, are you doing to occupy your time? Not just other games, but from a Fallout POV..Are you reading Fallout fanfics? Have you furthered played older Fallout games? Have you taken ambitious projects like myself to create Fallout items to adorn your living spaces with? (Nuka-Colas, Weapons, Food, etc.) I, personally, have been playing Skyrim, but just don't love it like I do Fallout. I've been most everywhere and done most everything, though I still do enjoy playing and it thankfully has provided some slight relief to the "itch."

I played through on FO3, and did one of my deeper playthroughs, but unfortunately haven't been able to play NV-which I've been pining to do- because the disc broke and have not been able to replace it.

So, in short for the tl;dr'ers out there..

1) Are you starting to get antsy for some Fallout news, and when do you personally anticipate an announcement

2) How are you biding your time until we get something to chew on?

I couldnt agree more! Fallout is my favorite game followed by bioshock. I would call it a work of art and yes i am absolutely busting for fallout 4, when i heard of its coming i jumped for joy. passing time, i found this forum and try to contribute as much as i can with my good imagination (one likes to think so) and hopefully i can get a word in, alongside the community and fallout 4 will be great!

You sir have made my fave post.

I also do this sir

I am listening to the soundtracks to FO 3 and NV

Also I'm reading this fantastic fanfic http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1326490-fallout-equestria/ (Trust me, it's fantastic) :mohawk:
