Forgotten Classics – Fallout (The Reticule)

The Fallout series has become a leading RPG franchise once again since the release of Fallout 3 and New Vegas. However, who remembers the original Fallout?

In this latest edition of Forgotten Classics, Andrew Eldridge takes a look at the original title and argues that despite the pros of the new games, you still can't beat the original.

While I enjoyed Fallout 3 and New Vegas, there is something altogether separate with the original Fallout. You could pop it in today and still enjoy it, which is a sign of a well crafted game. The original and the new iterations are very different experiences and the new experience has pluses and minuses.

God I wish for a true Fallout sequel. Fallout 3 was OK, New Vegas got boring after a while. The whole perk and skill system doesn't make sense in 3 and NV. Bring back the turn based strategy rpg's !!!!

banjadude5489d ago

I'm gonna be honest, my favourite part(s) about Fallout 1 and 2 (3... is another totally different story) is the humour and the good o'l pipboy appearances (the comics, cutscenes, outside game material, etc).

Xof5489d ago

No one ever forgot Fallout.

Want some forgotten games? How about the Tsar series? Awesome AoE clones. Or the Descent games? (Or, hell, Freespace and Freespace 2).

Or Steambot Chronicles or Arc the Lad or Legacy of Kain? These are forgotten names. One of the biggest RPG franchises that is STILL seeing releases cannot--CANNOT--be "forgotten."

cnerkgbkjb5489d ago

Very true.

I did intentionally mislead with my title somewhat, which I explained in the first paragraph.

However, referring to Fallout 1, which was a RPG of a turn-based style from Interplay, as opposed to Fallout 3 and later, which are FPS/RPG offerings from Bethesda, I would aruge that Fallout 1 had indeed been forgotten to some extent - not so much the game itself, but the game style.

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.

cloganart125d ago

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

walken7124d ago

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

Snookies12125d ago (Edited 125d 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.

Michiel1989125d 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_125d 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

jznrpg125d ago

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

Christopher125d ago

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

BlaqMagiq1125d 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??

Phoenix76197d ago

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

gigoran8197d 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

1nsomniac196d 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.

UltimateOwnage196d 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.
