G4: Five Cities Fallout 4 Should Visit

Fallout has existed in the wastelands of Southern California, the blasted remains of Washington, D.C., and now on the rebuilt scraps of Las Vegas, born again from the ashes in the bright lights and clinking slot machines of New Vegas. We've seen both coasts of North America, its Sin City playground, and even Pittsburgh and Anchorage, Alaska via DLC ... but what about the rest of the world

FrigidDARKNESS5621d ago

Los Angeles would be a good place that city is a toilet dump.

Yi-Long5621d ago

... perfect mix between lots of nature (80% of the city is green) and huge buildings.

ASSASSYN 36o5620d ago

Yeah, I like that as a setting. Especially since china was a key player in the war.

NecrumSlavery5620d ago (Edited 5620d ago )

The fallout story was created from the war against china. to be there seems a little difficult to do. did china even suffer a fallout in the story?

RedDragan5620d ago

The London setting would be win!!

It has the most epic tube system in the world for a start, and the city (Greater London boundary) is just huge. London didn't build upwards like other cities... it built outwards. That city would be a monstrously big map!!

Jack-Pyro5620d ago

I'll have you know I live in that toilet dump...

kraze075620d ago

So do I. If LA's a toilet dump then I wonder what that makes the rest of America besides the few major cities with infrastructure on par or better then LA's.

being_in_itself5620d ago (Edited 5620d ago )

Have no fear Jack and kraze - I live in Chicago. As I recall, we're one of the most unhappy, shitiest places to live in the US. According to Forbes, we're the 10th most miserable city to live in in the US. Woooo!!! We beat "that toilet dump".

ASSASSYN 36o5620d ago

New York. One of the most used game cities in games and movies. But it will work, especially in a destroyed state.

Xi5620d ago (Edited 5620d ago )

new orleans would be an interesting stop.

It'd be an interesting way to introduce a "european" connection with all the french influence.

Jack-Pyro5620d ago

Absolutely, I've been wanting a southern style Fallout forever, just imagine what you could do there.

NecrumSlavery5620d ago

Point Lookout had that new orleans feel. Funny too cause the real PL, Maryland isnt backwoods like that.

reckoner5620d ago

the Point Lookout DLC. Which was pretty good.

being_in_itself5620d ago (Edited 5620d ago )

As a Chicagoan, I'd love to say Chi-town .... but - I disagree with the big city approach. As Yi-Long said, you need a green city w/ nature.

I think a west coast mountain city could be cool (Portland, perhaps - think of the radiated rain there..???), Hong Kong is super cool, I like the author's London, and the author mentions Amazon which isn't a city so I'd choose Rio there but I don't think SA works well.

You know, its hard to say. I'd like to play around in New Vegas first and see how that works as its not the optimal setting I would think but if it works well, who knows, could open the doors to a bunch of great cities.

Xi ^^^ Yea, that'd certainly be pretty cool. That's a good mix of city and nature.

Edit (again, sorry): Y'know, just had a thought: How about Honolulu and you had access to the whole island and even could Island hop. A MASSIVE world map where you could go to all the Hawaiian islands...think that'd be pretty sweet.

SexyPrawns5620d ago

Nice. Fellow Illinoisan here. Decatur though. I visit Chicago from time to time though.

I personally think Disney World would be a great place to hold Fallout.

johnnywit5620d ago (Edited 5620d ago )

I live on Oahu and would love to see the island used in a fallout game. The city of Honolulu wouldn't be a big deal but the rest of the island could be very interesting. (Especially with all the military stuff that is here.) I would love to see what they would do with diamond head and imagine all the wasted tropical terrain you could travel. Imagine a ghoul luau or Hawaiian super mutants.

Edit: I can't believe I was sitting here trying to think of cool places and Hawaii never crossed my mind. lol.

SexyPrawns5620d ago

Hawaii never gets used in open-world games.

That needs to change!

StarScream4Ever5620d ago

Personally I want to see China's side of the story. They never explained who fired the first shot but perhaps a lil side trip to China might reveal a little light into the Fallout world.

being_in_itself5620d ago

I personally like the allure of not knowing who shot first. But yes, China would reveal much.

I think not knowing adds to the whole mythos of the Fallout story. Its the typical nuclear holocaust event - who shot first? Who cares!?

Anyone ever read the the timeline on the Fallout wiki? Good stuff in there.

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.

cloganart51d ago

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

walken751d ago

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

Snookies1252d ago (Edited 52d 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.

Michiel198952d 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_52d 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

jznrpg52d ago

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

Christopher51d ago

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

BlaqMagiq152d 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??

Phoenix76124d ago

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

gigoran8124d 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

1nsomniac123d 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.

UltimateOwnage123d 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.

Fallout 3 designer expects remaster to revise gunplay to make it closer to Fallout 4

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

ZeekQuattro311d 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.
