Sheen Sheen posted:Isn't it pretty much a given that someone will make Fallout: New York as long as the series remains profitable? It's more or less the most iconic American setting in existence, and given Fallout's Americana thing I have to imagine that it will happen at some point (this is also why I don't think Fallout: Canada will ever happen) Sad thing is, I'm pretty sure it will end up like a comment I saw on the trailer for one of the NV DLCs on YouTube. "Fallout 4 will be awesome it will be in New York and you can be a brotherhood from the start and start with power armor and the brotherhood will be in the Statue of Liberty and the Enclave will be in the Empire State Building and you'll fight to take over New York from the evil Enclaves."

Save it by sniper overwatch or bomb sniffing or imparting your intelligence to a security detail or roll charisma and win the day by putting on THE BEST GOD drat PARADE EVER.

New Orleans is probably my favourite city in the entire world so it would be amazing to see a Fallout set there.

Anyone know what Matt MacLean (current South Park lead dev) did in Fallout: NV? I've been trying to find out what to expect from the game but that man is an Amish mystery.

Don't think he did much, if anything. He was on Alpha Protocol, moved on to Dungeon Siege 3 and then went on to South Park. If he did anything on New Vegas it was probably minor.

Pope Guilty posted:I was always so disappointed that there weren't any dangerous places in FO3 that were as cool as that supermarket. Yeah I STILL think Fallout 3 had some of the coolest set pieces in the entire series, it just wasn't implemented in a way that was interesting or even cohesive. The towns in New Vegas, while separate, felt like a coherent whole while the cities in FO3 were one note gimmicks that felt like they were thought up in a brainstorming session and then plopped down at random. "Let's make a city that has a nuke in the center" *throws dart at world map where Megaton is* "Yeah and then the player can choose to like, blow it up or leave it alone. Hey you know what would be great? A town of just kids." *Throws dart* "Oh and people who think they are vampires" *Dart again* But I still think the architecture in Washington D.C. proper was really really awesome and it gave off that ominous destroyed feeling of a major city that New Vegas didnt give me (Granted that is largely because it's not destroyed, but it just didn't feel "big" like a US metropolitan city should). Granted it was an absolute pain in the rear end to navigate with its recycled subway tunnels and I wish that was handled better, but the architecture still just really really struck me for some reason.

Fallout 3 felt like what they did was divide the map up into ~100 locations, hand each designer a few of them and have them build some apocalyptic poo poo, with no coordination between. So they wind up with some cool set pieces but they don't fit together at all.

Pope Guilty posted:"Let's have a town where they eat outsiders!" *puts two houses next to each other, calls it a day* That was honestly one of the best setpieces in Fallout 3. These people who are all so nice out in the middle of nowhere. There's got to be some bodies buried in their basement. Sure enough, there was. That old gently caress pretty much telling you "These folks eat people!" is a bit disappointing. It sucks to think that people have gotten so stupid that they can't see an obvious setup without it being forced down their throats.

Hillbillies, rude accents, booze, jazz, irradiated swamplands, huge gators, French colonel types and a few wastelanders who just want to hold onto the old timey freedoms of New Orleans. I know it's a little bit like NV with the whole vice thing, but it would be pretty fresh and you could do some neat poo poo with the whole area from the coast to New Orleans to Lafayette. You wouldn't even need to set the game in the future!

Now, now, lay off Detroit. Them people is livin' in 'Mad Max' times. I think Fallout has at least to be in the US, but seeing how nicely the Skyrim engine manages the outdoors and the lightning there, I'd really hope it to be in some woodland area, and not in some brown desert/wasteland setting. With abandoned locations partly reclaimed by nature maybe? STALKER comes to mind. Even though brown/yellow and nothing else is probably what we're gonna get. Hell, even Skyrim is almost too brown.

I think there's still room for green. New Vegas had Zion, while FO3 had Harold's Grove and Point Lookout, which I assume is canon, even if some deny the former.

This is a really gimmicky idea, but I'd like to see a webcomic based on what your companions preoccupy themselves with in the Lucky 38 while you're gallivanting about the wastes. It's not as if any of them has much in common with the others.

I think one of the really interesting things about this game is that they made the Lucky 38 Presidential Suite such a lonely zone of despair. It's pretty much the de facto headquarters of the game but it's such a hauntingly unpleasant place to be. High roller suite.

Stalker didn't go far enough with the natural reclamation, although that's explained away with ~the magic of the zone~. Google the Chernobyl disaster area and you will find that it's green as gently caress after less than 30 years of no human habitation. Fallout is set centuries after most of civilization was incinerated. I think the whole association between nuclear post-apocalyptia and desert badlands has outlived its usefulness. But honestly, I wish we'd get a more seamless world. Transitions between areas in Stalker were perfectly fine with me, but the hundreds of transitions between the overworld and some dinky shack or two room cave were just grating.

You're describing the load screens in between two different types of cells. It's a limitation of the engine. Remember, the two recent fallout games were basically mods of the Oblivion engine, and Oblivion came out in 2006.

The problem was not 2006, it was the abominable engine and the fact that it didn't get put out of its misery after Oblivion. The problem is still there in Skyrim, although I don't know how much of it is due to an engine limitation.

This whole talk of using present day landmarks and/or cities in the Fallout universe is something that is getting a bit out of hand. The great thing about F1 and F2 was that you might have a big city from before the war, but it was re-birthed as a completely different thing. Adytum and San Francisco comes to mind. After F3 and NV San Fran would probably be inhabited by mutant gay people with pink guns. The first games were a lot more realistic in that sense and the newer are generally more gimmicky - even without Wild Wasteland.

Yes, because there were never any kind of distinguished and unique towns based on pre-war cities in the first two games. Also, New Reno doesn't exist, and certainly wasn't a place you could go in 2.
