One of the greatest series of the video game industry, Fallout will enter the realm of online gaming with the newest entry of the series, Fallout 76.
A new region of the map is opening for those with enough grit to cross Point Pleasant bridge. It’s time for you to travel westward towards Burning Springs. Taking place in rural Ohio, this is our largest map expansion to Fallout 76 yet!
Amazon has revealed this month’s wave of ‘free’ games on Amazon Luna, formerly known as Prime Gaming.
Bethesda writes: "Save the date! Our annual #FalloutDay Broadcast will be streaming live on October 23 at 1pm ET, with the FalloutforHope post-show immediately following.
Tune in for the latest news about our existing Fallout games, community celebrations, and upcoming fan events!"
Gee can’t imagine what it will be…
“Fallout 76 this, Fallout 76 that, hey you played Fallout 76 yet”
I bet it's less about the games, and all about the show and the new merch, the "community" celebrations that only the loneliest of the hardcore could enjoy in some sort of sad life-long acomplishment sort of way, and the upcoming "fan" events....look dude, I love Fallout, I just can't with the current Big Bang theoryesque geek culture fandom growing arround it. The '76 Mod-job playroom sandbox shi7 has been done to death, and feels more like a cringe camp of Ready Player One characters all trying to main-character their way through Fallout. Ick. Fallout needs to get back to its roots, and I don't mean isometric.
hope this one will tank hard. there are many, many blind brand loyals out there but i hope this will tank. i mean, i am happy for them that no illegal copies of this release will happen because of online validation. but it would have been nice to come up with a good engine, a great game mode and better graphics.
"The story will be based on first settlers to head up to the surface after the nuclear fallout."
And yet it will include the BoS who weren't there yet...
I think the challenge is that the unique value of Bethesda games rely so heavily on the mechanics that make the game "personal" for players. These mechanics are so deeply ingrained in their engine that abandoning it and starting from scratch runs the risk of not being able to adhere to quickly reproducing their charm on a new platform.
So, from a business standpoint, I understand the risk of going full-stop and not releasing a game until you've built it on something new — but also, they're probably fully aware that from a business standpoint, people aren't going to buy the same model re-skinned with a few new bells and whistles.
My guess? Bethesda has opened up a number of studios in the last few years for their development team — not publishers. I'm guessing that they have a team working on a next-gen engine (maybe for TES 6) and will put out Starfield on Gamebryo, buying them just enough time and tolerance so they can restore themselves as a cutting edge RPG maker.
