Fallout 76
« on: May 30, 2018, 11:02:36 am »
Bethesda has released a trailer for their upcoming fallout game, Fallout 76 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ye84Zrqndo

The song mentions west Virginia, so that's a pretty good hint about where it is set.

We should learn more about it on June 10th at E3.

Bethesda has also invented time travel and it took them that many tries to get something as good as New Vegas. :P

They're saying they're taking the series in a new direction. Withholding any hype until I know what that's about.

It's a reference to Vault 76, which was a control vault that opened 20 (and changed to 25) years after Earth got nuked to hell.

 I was under the impression Bethesda was working on a new IP as opposed to the next Fallout or Elder Scrolls game, so I don't feel like this is "Fallout 5", but I could be wrong. We'll find out in a week or so when Bethesda releases more details at E3.

Yeah, it's supposed to be the first vault (or one of the very first vaults) to open.

I really, really wouldn't be surprised if this is an FPS instead of an RPG. I can't imagine they'd bring out another full blown Fallout RPG so soon after 4, but I can imagine them doing a story focused game.

EDIT: Probably most likely to be an MMORPG. Whilst I take anything Kotaku says with several freight trains of salt, they said: "although the studio hasn’t yet said what it is, we hear it’s an online game of some sort."

Sounds a lot more likely to be honest. Urgh.

With enough work and polish, it could have been a forgettable flash game on Kongregate.

I believe the former Battlecry studios are supposedly part of this project, in which case I suspect it might be MMO-related since they probably have a fair amount of stuff from the canned Battlecry project that can be repurposed.

It's probable they are recycling assets from FO4, which could also explain how it got done this fast

i honestly wouldn't mind a survival game based off of Fallout 4.

the only question is are they willing to take all the good parts of other survival games (looking at you, conan exiles) and make a great game that requires no expansion or DLC or are they gonna put out a mediocre survival game and join the herd?

Pemmican is pretty incredibly durable. Corn and rice also lust forever without refrigeration.
Ah yes, the insatiable lust of corn and rice, clearly two of the most erotic foods.

Well that's enough to let me know I can safely ignore this, thanks.

“Melee combat battle Royale” and “base builder” don’t exactly mesh together. I doubt that’s all true, honestly. But we’ll see.

Full trailer is June 10th, two days before E3. I’ll keep my opinions reserved until then.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Anon calling it a Fallout-themed Rust knockoff sounds right on the money.

I'd say I can't believe they were stupid enough to greenlight development on this shit, but the evidence speaks for itself.

It’s a bit early to judge this from the supposed leaks Umiman posted. All we know for sure is that it won’t be a mainline RPG, and is set ~20 years after the bombs fell. Which is fine, since it’s not like this is instead of Fallout 5.

The stuff in the spoilers is full of contradictory information. Spoiler 1 says game focused around FO4 basebuilding.
Spoiler 2 says rust knockoff. Sure; if they do make it basebuilding-centered, this may be a viable take. I mean, it’s still unreliable information and is an opinion from a single person, but hey.
Spoiler 3 is where it goes off the deep end. The first part is okay; it’s just the name and the mention of a location. But then it starts talking about a melee-focused battle royale set in different parts of the world. Which conflicts with the “Vault 76” thing the game is named after, and the earlier information about the location, the fact that it’s Fallout-based, and with everything else. “Rust knockoff” and “basebuilder” are mutually exclusive with “melee battle royale”.

Again, though. I think it’s pointless to form such strong opinions from a basic teaser trailer and contradicting non-reliable leaks.
