What would you do if they made a fallout game with gta elements (steal cars, doing drive bys etc).

not buy it.

What cars could you possibly steal...most of them are beyond repair, let alone operational!

....


...Wh...

Ok.., Where are the cars, and where are the densely populated ghettos.

Drive-bys got nuked with everything else. And no, I would not buy this game, it sounds like an annoyingly forced fusion and I'd bet any gaming company with their eye on the money would agree.

Though after the poor treatment that Fallout 3 got from Bethesda....a product like the above could sadly enough be a possibility.

I thought it, you said it

I'd shoot the moron who came up with the idea.

Ditto.

Yeah... I could see some problems with that setup as a main gameplay element. GTA sort of works because it takes place in a densely populated and rather expansive city. (Where the map is large enough that really the only way to properly move around in it is with a car; and where it's populated enough that you don't have to go too far to find one. Nothing worse in those games than getting stranded without a car in the middle of nowhere and having to hoof it back to civilization.)

There are working vehicles in the Fallout Universe, but they are also generally pretty rare. I could see it being useful to have a hijacking mechanic you could use for when you did find yourself close enough to an operational vehicle. And you could concievably set the game in an area of the world where cars are a more prominent feature, I should think. (Not saying to go overboard with it, and have the game map littered with operational cars and such - more of a Road Warrior-esque sort of setup.) Maybe areas of the Mid-West that wasn't hit as hard by the War and had more of an access to working vehicles...

But yeah, if we're talking about something close to GTA with a Fallout-y re-texture - that would be pushing it.

she or he has a point

Yeah, and you could befriend a steroid junkie so when you get somewhere and your car gets destroyed, he can come get you with his awesome ghetto post-nuclear helicopter! It would be awesome!

...What are you thinking?!

Is this an April Fool joke?

Wow. Nice to see the pro and con Fallout 3 camps agreeing on something for once.

Vomit on the screen and then hit it with my head until it went away...

You mean Buffout junkie right?

A few light vehicles I'd agree with, but Fallout is not, and never should be a vehicle dominated game. Those vehicles that exist are owned by the rich, the powerful, or the technically minded.

I'd steal Pete Hine's car, then driveby him and everybody who ever buys that game ever.

This idea is almost as bad as making a TANK GIRL game....

If they did make a fallout game with gta elements why not instead of stealing cars how about check wrecked or destroyed cars for good parts and get enough to build your own car.

Eh, I'm not sure Fallout has lots of working vehicles so stealing cars would be pointless. Drive bys might be a bit tricky for that reason as well. If they did make this, well, I'd pray for the strength to send that company to the bottom of the earth.

Grand Theft Brahmin?

Same.

It would be a very short game. Assuming you found a working vehicle, you could drive for about a quarter mile and then you and the car fall off the broken overpass to a well-deserved fiery death. Game Over - time spent 1.5 minutes. YOUR WINNER!

I think it would be rather like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0N8BTyY_Uyc with all that open wasteland to speed through... but why bother?

Uhh....that wouldn't be a good game....at all really. So I would probably leave it on the shelf. If someone made that game, it would ruin the feel of Fallout and it would just be Grand Theft Apocalyptic.
