Multiplat Fallout 76

[UnitedWarrior93]

God damn, was excited after watching the trailer but now coming here and seeing it’s likely to be online like ESO, I’m fully prepared to be disappointed now, not sure I’ll even bother.

I could handle a Fallout game in the style of DayZ, could be really fun, would also make sense they'll have a Battle Royale type game as well (if that image wasn't fake).

 

[Strange Cat]

Won’t bother if it’s an online game

Hardly played FO 4 as it is.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Felt fallout 4 was really dumbed down in the writing depth and sacrificed a lot.

Hoping it reverte to the fallout 2 style of writing lore and just fallout 3 gameplay

Remembering Vault 76 was a control vault with the purpose of repopulating the wasteland, there was no funny shit like the other vaults with the FEV or drugs in the water and no 20 men 10 women and a panther.

From the Fallout Wiki


In FO3


If like dwwaino said it's set 20 years to the day after the war. There won't be massive places like Megaton or Diamond City. I reckon it will be more a sandbox survival game, they will want to use the base building mechanics from FO 4 and turn it into a multiplayer game will prob be more Day Z than ESO.

My issue is how quickly did super mutants evolve and ghouls and deathclaws, if it's only 20 years will it be missing heaps of the stuff people love from FO games, will devolve into build a base die rinse repeat with no real substance. So hopefully it's more mmo than survival

Edit: apparently the date is about 25 years to the day after the first bombs, so there will be tons of radiation, fresh ghouls, super radroaches.
Wouldn't surprise me is the vault is the main hub and you go out and play survival simulator from there in the mountains of Virginia

Going by the timeline there is still a lot of familar lore to play with I think

So it’s most likely not going to be another typical RPG Fallout and it sounds like it’s not quite going to be an MMO but has online elements. Vault 76 is clearly the centrepiece so is it a hub? If it’s a shooter will it be something like Vermintide? Or will it be like Overwatch? Maybe a survival kind of game like The Division’s Survival game mode? Will it be something different like a base builder with online elements like the the last Sim City? Did I read a quote from the stream that they mentioned taking the series in a new direction? This could literally be anything... except for Fallout as we know it.

I'm leaning towards what the Kotaku bloke has said, it will be a survival sandbox similar to Rust or Day Z. No way it's a traditional FO game and it won't be like vermintide or L4D. They put a ton of work into the base building in FO4 and the stupid creation club they will want to leverage that as much as possible.

The problem with online survival is having to work and having some kid blow everything that you worked on up with mini nukes because he doesn't work

I’m leaning toward some sort of survival/base builder too as the trailer was quite specific about reclaiming the wasteland. The implementation will be interesting.

People were never going to get a full blown fallout 2 years after the last one, and thats forgetting that ES6 is next in line if they follow their previous patterns.

I'm 98% sure they announce survival online FO76 and then soften the nerd rage by ending with FO3 remaster for all platforms including switch

Didn’t most gamers agree the base building in F4 sucked?

Seeing that the released blurb states that you have to rebuild i lm guessing the game will focus heavily on their building tools they introduced in fallout 4

Yawns

yes, just don't tell bethesda that

i think I built like 2 houses in both my playthroughs of FO4, purely to have somewhere to sleep and store shit, craft etc and that's it.

 

[Sterge]

The interesting thing FO4 was released 10/11/15 after being revealed at E3
if they do the same with 76 it will be like 2 weeks after RDR2

I hope its just a console port of their mobile game.

 

[ioppolo]

I hope there's actually substance in the story and setting, not just build, survive, repeat

Fallout Shelter 2 for Nintendo Switch

Guarantee that Todd Howard doesn't make it out of the room alive if that was the case

Would be cool if you could choose to become a raider or join the gun runners or even the enclave. then a survival element given the various factions

 

[palmomagpie]

The gaming world is truly melting over this. Thank god E3 is only a few days away. There are literally people on Fallout pages everywhere analysing ever tiny dot on the trailer. Im hoping it's just a single player game like New Vegas but with multiplayer enabled, or a state of decay style coop fallout. I've never been able to play MMO's because i average 1mb/s internet at home, but i move to the NBN in 8 days so hopefully that improves me a tiny bit haha

Mods please ban this horrible troll.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Before FO4 came out the belief was that there was eventually going to be multiplayer enabled with base building being a major part of that experience. It's entirely possible they're finally going to do that

I didn’t mind the base building, was a pretty cool feature imo.

PC, PS4 and XBONE confirmed by EBGames social media release.

I like that they are offering preorders, I love fallout and have bought the CE for NV and 4 but even I won't preorder without even knowing what the game is.

 

[silverscope]

I for one can't wait to play Fallout: Rust

Survival genre is a beast and having the fallout universe playable in that genre is going to be great.

 

[palmomagpie]

Saw this floating around. Wonder if legit? Especially the ES bit
