Its really sad that such a great series had to be handed to Masthead studios, I seriously hope they do not use the MhS Engine they used in Earth Rise because that thing is a performance pig, even the fact that masthead is the ones developing it makes me even sadder that this game could come out still born. I love the fall out series so much i have all the original disks of the game and it would really svck to see such a great ip fail just because of bad management.

yeah MhS has great vision and all that but they spent 5 years making earth rise and it came out the door undercooked and pretty close to DoA. the only thing that game has is crafting and ganking. if they do decide to use the MhS engine then already most of the potential subs have already been eliminated due to the insane amount of system resources it uses.

1. Yes, they're using the EarthRise Engine for FO:OL/PV13
2. While it is not perfect, it has been improved in the few months that the game (ER) has been out.
3. We've been told that we can't expect to see FO:OL any sooner than 2014. That's, what, 3 years from now? I have no doubt that the engine will be more than sufficient in that time. I put the 'Skill' in 'Kill.'
Wait, what?

for one thing,masthead has mmo experience. i watched an ER beta video and it looked pretty good to me. the background was amazing. i suppose you think AOC is a "performance pig" too. im assuming the system reqs will be the same or similar to ER,and they seem perfectly fine to me. any gaming system made within at least the last 5 years can run that. my pc could run that if i had a better video card.

2014, where did you hear that?
I have heard that the beta is coming out next year (2012) and the game release the second part of the year

I remember reading it somewhere on this site, but can't quite remember where...

Still, a late 2012 release is still enough time to get the engine in a proper working condition, especially after beta gets through with it.

EDIT: Also,


The OP is worried because ER suffered from a terrible release. Things such as client crashes, severe lag, Alt-F4, etc., many of which are still problems today. However, they have made many fixes and improvements since the release in February... 3 months ago. 12 months from now, and FO:OL should have already entered open beta stage... 12 months from now. Does anyone else see my reasoning? I put the 'Skill' in 'Kill.'
Wait, what?

Look, I think this is a fair comment to make, unless any one can here can program and build a better engine then Masthead can I think they should hush, if you have nothing nice to type then don't type nothing at all.

The FOOL developers and Masthead are most likely working as fast as the can whilst making sure everything is working properly, they know we are all patiently waiting and they have faith in us which is why they made this board for us, so let's have some faith in them as well. Please don't be offended by anything shown above, I'm only stating my opinion, I mean no harm by any comments, replies and topic that I post in or about.

Lolwut? It'll be before 2014, I'm sure of that ! Patrolling the Mojave Wastelands almost make you wish for a Nuclear winther..

Please read the whole thread before you post. Especially when it only has one page. I put the 'Skill' in 'Kill.'
Wait, what?
