Nuclear Armageddon done right

Fallout 3's great success, suggests the Globe and Mail's game blogger, is its utterly terrifying world, which reminds him of the nightmares he would have of nuclear war and mutants as a child. From the story:

"Most importantly, though, it leaves its predecessors' old-school 2-D maps of ruined California cities behind for a massive, seamless 3-D recreation of Washington D.C., and in doing so captures the feeling of a futuristic wasteland better than any game to come before. Players wander through massive heaps of rubble, circumnavigate burnt-out buildings, swim through a radioactive Potomac, explore equally rad-heavy sewers, and visit famous real-world landmarks and museums. It's this stunningly believable world that does most of the heavy lifting in terms of transporting players' minds into the nuclear war ravaged future...

...While sinfully fun to play, Fallout 3 is also something of a commercial speaking against the perils of nuclear war. I'm quite glad to have experienced the virtual as opposed to the real thing."

be similar to Oblivion? Never got into RPG's before, but I just recently bought Oblivion and I fell in love. My understanding is that it's a Western RPG as opposed to a JRPG? Please someone help me out.

Very similar to Oblivion. Just swap out the mythical baddies for mutants.

Would be nice if they had New Vegas ready as well, especially because of the show.

Hopefully this doesn't have the same performance issues as Oblivion Remastered.

cloganart152d ago

I haven't seen anything on these performance issues? What's been going on?

walken7151d ago

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.

Snookies12153d ago (Edited 153d ago )

Throw in all the DLC as well, like Oblivion and I'll definitely bite. I recall having one trophy left to unlock on the PS3 version with 100+ hours in my save. When my save file got corrupted, lol. Very sad day.

To be fair though, Bethesda was trash at Playstation ports anyway.

Michiel1989152d ago

all devs sucked at porting to ps3 for the first like 3 years because no one had experience with the cell architecture. Even 1st party took a long while to get proficient with it, the difference between uncharted 1 and 3 is massive for example.

Extermin8or3_152d ago

Oh oh oh I can do this too. GTA 7 will be made at some point in the future. Fallout 5 will enter development in the future too

jznrpg152d ago

Everyone there should know most gamers want New Vegas and Morrowind more than anything.

Christopher152d ago

Which is why we won't get them. Gotta keep floating "support this one and it might happen".

BlaqMagiq1152d ago

Can't wait. Won't have to go back to my PS3 to play this when it comes out.

Fallout 3 remastered on the Nintendo Switch 2 is what we deserve, not the worst Fallout game

Fallout Day's disappointing news that Fallout 4 is coming to Switch 2 is a shame, as this 17-year-old entry is more deserving of a new port.

Why exactly do you think you deserve it??

Phoenix76224d ago

Fallout 4 isn't the worst game in the franchise. It's either Fallout 76 or Fallout BOS that's the worst.

gigoran8224d ago

PC and all other modern consoles never got a remaster of 3, but obviously the switch 2 was the tipping point to make it a reality... ahuh

1nsomniac224d ago

Meh, I thought 3 was garbage. I'm not a great fan of the franchise to be fair. They're like B-Movie films, really shallow and janky. 4 was definitely one of the better ones though.

UltimateOwnage223d ago

So the article makes a snippy entitled statement and acts like that is going to encourage a publisher to give them what they want. Okay.

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro412d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
