Yes, you read right.

This is a longtime fallout fan's request, no plea to keep the next one on the pc only.


I enjoyed fallout 3 very much but storywise I found it lacking..
It's not that it wasnt well thought about, it just seems as though the whole storyline and plot wasnt the major priority here.
The ideas were all there but the actual elaboration of all the independent parts was just not all there..

There's a general consensus among almost everyone I talked too about this.

One thing that always surfaced when talking to people was that;
every single game developed for the pc and a console always sacrifices in deptness and player driven storyline for pew pew graphics.

And its a shame to do this to the Fallout universe because its about Roleplaying and some hard thinking.
With roleplaying I mean actual roleplaying not lvl'ing by shooting things.

Graphics are all good but NOT the major priority.


It just seems as though the whole thing is downtuned for easier accessibility...
Fallout was the game that brought Rpg back to life on the Pc dont let it go down with this one.


Please.. keep the rpg and in depth games alive and requiring clear thinking and leave the splattering things secondary or to the console's.

Mass Effect, Gears of War, KotOR

Gears of War doesn't have a brilliant plot. I'll give you the other two, though.

Also, there's no way in hell this will happen. A majority of the sales were on the 360 IIRC, they'd be cutting over half their profits. I think.

And now the games being not made by Bioware.

:rofl:

Silly request really. Very silly tbh.

A nice idea, but sadly it ain't going to happen - as said, in a world run for profit they'd be shooting themselves in the foot by not covering the platforms. The next best thing is provided by all those wonderfull, wonderfull modders.

or we could make the next fallout be for consoles only after all compaines take longer to make PC games because they always need to be up dated and the ALWAYS have bugs

DEATH TO PC ELITEISTS!!! :flamethrower: :brokencomputer: :gun:

i used to think this before i actually started buying consoles, thing i HATED about PC gaming was the fact that if something new came out you REEEAALLLY wanted to play you had to complete upgrade your hardware to get it to run properly...then 6 months later somethign else would come out and OoOoO look my computer wont run it properly ive got to upgrade again! this was costly and annoying. HURRAY FOR MY 360!! (even though i had to fix it myself coz the damn thing broke)

Bug's 'n patches are an unfortunate symptom of what makes PC's great; their modular versatility. As their not standardised, things can sometimes go wrong (still true with console games, just not as much), but they do so much more, look so much better and still get better games.
FPS; Console V's PC = I know who my money's on

You're out of your mind if you think they'd EVER leave about 30 million people out of the loop just because of your little "request".

I do agree about games being cut short because they have to narrow it down for consoles though, but what can we do, this is the way it's going to be from now on.

Thats bad im a hardcoe fallout fan but i cant afford a pc good enough i vote no.

False. I can think of one, Morrowind.

According to sales figures around 55 percent of those sales were done on the Xbox 360, 28 percent were done on the PlayStation 3 and only 17 percent on the PC.

good luck on this plea...

i dont own any consoles except for a few DSes and a psp, but i think its pretty much time for we PC gamers to come to some sort of agreement with reality.

I dont accept the premise of the OP.

Just because its on a console does not mean the story has to be cut down. Theres no link there.

Thats like saying just because its a Red car it will go faster.

there is just simply no logical link, except anecdotal evidence.

also, to the OP, i'd find fault with this statement:

"Fallout was the game that brought Rpg back to life on the Pc dont let it go down with this one."

daggerfall came out in 1996, and baldur's gate was well into its development cycle by the time fallout was released. but most importantly, whether or not i consider it a "proper" RPG, the 800lb gorilla the OP is ignoring was diablo. if you are going to single out any ONE title that "brought RPG back to life on the PC..." in 1996/97, you would have to say it was diablo.

I would *kind of* disagree with your comment.

At this point in the Console/PC cycle, graphics on the PC are *suffering* because of the need to keep within the limited processing and memory limits of Consoles. This is particularly noticeable in FO3, with the alarmingly low-res textures and low-poly count buildings everywhere.

I have found the amount of content in FO3 to be quite refreshingly large - even for a PC-only game.

Ooh, I missed that one.

Fallout was not a hit. Fallout was a cult success.

Its sales never got anywhere near the sales that Interplay's DnD games did.

I'm sorry but diablo wasn't an RPG, it was mega monster bashing. (MMB)

Yup, this thread outta end well.

Mass Effect and Kotor did not have good storylines. Both were "save the galaxy from a great evil" plots. I haven't played Gears of War so I can't comment, but from what I've heard it's got a fairly generic action-y game plot.

Anyway, Bethesda might as well go consoles only for the next Fallout game. Fallout 3 is already nothing like the originals, so they might as well take the franchise in a completely different direction. Makes me wonder why they bought the IP, though, if the only thing they're keeping is the title.

That's a trend that is in all areas of gaming, and in fact, with PC games, developers can put even MORE focus on graphics since with top of the line hardware for PCs now, you can do things you can't do on modern consoles, the truth is simply that pretty graphics can do more to sell a game than a good story, and it makes sense too, if you see screenshots that look good, they tend to catch your eye, but a good story? You need to experience it yourself to truly appreciate it.

But I would like the next Fallout game to be a PC only game too, not because of concerns related to story or too much emphasis on graphics, it's due to the interface obviously designed with consoles in mind used in Oblivion, which carried over into Fallout 3, if the game were developed with the PC in mind, that could potentially be avoided, however, I know that isn't happening, because there's a lot more money to be made in making a multi-platform game, and Bethesda isn't going to cut themselves off from as large a market as there is for consoles today, so I just have to live with it.



As is the plot for a vast majority of story driven games, with the galaxy being replaced by universe, world, country, city, or any other location depending on the needs of the game, the only exceptions being ones where you ARE the "great evil". Even Fallout, if you wanted to simplify it so much, was like that, sure, there might have been a bit more complexity than the villains' motives than just "I'm evil so I want to take over/destroy the world", their motives might not have even been that bad, and the reason you had to stop them was because of their way of achieving their goals, but in the end, you were still saving the people of the wasteland from a great threat.

As to Gears of War, you're a big man with big guns and big armor and you go around killing big enemies, all to stop them from destroying humanity, it's fun, but that's not exactly what I'd call the pinnacle of interactive storytelling.

i dont think they will just bring it to the pc only... imagine the sales they would loose if they dont bring it to the PS3 and 360 versions...
i hate computers too many problems not to mention have to upgrade always to keep playing the best and latest games, that why the console is better dont have to worry about anything, just play!

Hope they bring it out Fallout 4!!!

Nobody forces you to play with "Very High" graphic settings.

Morrowind wasn't developed for the PC and console, it was developed for PC and ported to console. Game ports generally have less than flattering results, but Morrowind was an exception. Games ported FROM consoles TO PC are almost ALWAYS, undeniably awful and awkward to play, for example the PC versions of early Splinter Cell games. If it's from PC to console, often the controls are complicated to work with a gamepad.

I agree with the OP, in a small sense. I wouldn't want the console players to be left out, but I strongly believe that the games should be developed for the PC, and ported to console, as it's the lesser of 3 evils. Equally developing a game for multiple platforms almost always tend to water out and dumb down the game in question.
