A Fallout Retrospective

With the recent release of Fallout 3, I thought it might be a good time to look back on the series of games before it: Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics.

In 1997, Fallout was released to critical acclaim and moderate commercial success. Set in the year 2161, eighty years after The Great War, a global nuclear war that lasted two hours has left the world a broken wasteland. You play the role of the vault dweller, living in the relative safety of one of the huge underground nuclear shelters – vaults – that was built before the war. The game begins when you are tasked to venture out into the wasteland to find a replacement water chip, a device that provides the vault with fresh water. So off you go into the brave new world full of bad people, mutants, giant scorpions, skulls on sticks and towns made of corrugated iron. It's a game heavily influenced by such films as 'Mad Max 2' and 'A Boy and his Dog', as well as many other post apocalyptic sci-fi fiction stories.

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.

cloganart49d ago

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

walken749d ago

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

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.

Michiel198949d 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_49d 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

jznrpg49d ago

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

Christopher49d ago

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

BlaqMagiq149d 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??

Phoenix76121d ago

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

gigoran8121d 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

1nsomniac121d 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.

UltimateOwnage121d 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.
