This game is more like The Book of Eli. You have people setting up towns and such.

Not much of that in The Road.

Then again, a DLC could add the mission where you take your kid to go watch you die on a beach...

I read Wool, Shift, and Dust just before Fallout 4 was released. Just to get in the right head.

both excellent movies.

elie way better

Speaking of the Road, there's a http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Charlie_(Fallout_4).

book of elie graphics would be nice non of this cartoony bs graphics

The more devs follow already used stories from movies, even if vaguely so, the more the trolls come out and complain. It happened with Far Cry 2 and Max Payne 3, where many people harped about too many similarities to Heart of Darkness and Man on Fire.

Personally I don't mid, as long as they keep the references vague enough, with mostly original settings, but it IS a huge risk, especially considering how the whine factor can often go viral, and negatively influence a LOT of players deciding whether to buy the game.

That's an excellent series which has some of the elements of social engineering of the Fallout vaults.

Yeah except the main protagonist isn't blind

The road was a movie about being homeless and murdering people for shoes. Def that one.

Fallout 4 is whatever anyone wants it to be but yea for me i see The Road more in Fallout 4 then i do The Book Of Eli which though nice was too comic bookish for me and started getting way too mystical as the movie progressed. The unexpected ending had a good mix of inspiration and a certain sad sense of sacrifice to it.

This game is finding Nemo. A father and mother with a happy family. A villain comes in and kills the wife, the son is kidnapped and taken away into a place where the father can't reach. The father needs to go and find the son with the help of a loudmouth, airhead.

he wasn't blind. he just knew how to read braille.

The Road is nothing like Fallout 4. The Road has to be one of the saddest damn books I ever read and the main theme is hopelessness from start to finish. The world is literally dying with no hope of survival, their are no towns, no settlements, no minute men, no brother of steel and all your waiting to do is starve to death.

Fallout 4 gives us a perspective of hope for the future and "The Road" does the exact opposite.

I'm sorry if this was sarcastic and I missed it, being the Internet and all, but he definitely was blind.


The first time you watch it the ending is a big surprise, but the second time through you catch a lot of clues. He kicks the steps with his shoes because he can't see them, when he searches the abandoned cabin he doesn't look at anything with his eyes he only searches with his hands. He never looks anyone in the eyes. His mannerisms generally match a blind persons. There are other clues, but it's been so long since I've seen it I can't specify them.

Denzel Washington looking build with patrolman sunglasses, buffs in shotgun, pistol and machete is pretty fun. Maybe throw in travelling leathers.

Pretty sure he never shot first either.
