Although I would love to see the next Fallout game set in NYC I just get the felling it isn't going to happen, but they could do one in Atlantic city it may be in some ways similar to FONV but yet different since its on the other side of the country. You could have the Mafia motif with it. And gambling would still be a factor in Atlantic city. It would easily fit into the 50s world of tomorrow motif that the fallout universe is set in. There would be some great places to explore, Like the Pine Barrens and don't forget Coney island and the boardwalk and even have some factions from Fallout 3 involved like the Talon company and maybe it could have DLC that takes you to NYC or even the Common Wealth, even Jersey shore references (LOL last part was a joke). But seriously I think this would be a great next game. What do you think?
I read a pretty good Fan-Fic about how the remaining troops in the area in and near NYC got together and managed to fight off most of the chinese bombers, nothing they could do about the missles (working from memory... read it about 2-3 weeks ago)... But soon afterwards everything fell apart, a terrible load of raider gangs etc.
It'd be a great place for a gam, as long as they don't have it destroyed.
