I think I'm going to wait until I know what the gameplay actually is before I say this is the best or worst thing ever.
What happened to Fallouts 5 through 75? I’m not going to lie, I’ve been holding onto that joke all day.
Yeah, but SE expected it to be a massive success and it only did pretty good. And it was quickly forgotten by buyers after completing it. People are still playing and talking about Oblivion today, and that came out 12 years ago.
Oblivion. The level ramping in that game was atrocious. I heard Skyrim was a bit better but not by much. I like games where I can eventually feel like I'm a god among men for a while...THEN level ramp. Fallout 3 is a good example of in-story level ramping that felt good instead of inhibiting.
I love fallout, but HATE online-only games (and gaming online in general). If this is that, BIG FAT PASS.
Pretty much what I expected. A co-op Fallout. Looks like fun. But the nuclear missile launching thing just seems like an incredibly bad idea. Unless they put in some kind of precautions or safety measures to control it, that is gonna get massively abused.
Did we watch a different trailer then? Because it certainly looks like they just took Fallout 4, and added battle royal to it. And isn't that basically what the Fortnite is?
We must have, because a battle royal games objective is to be the last man/team standing, not go and play quests solo/team based. The only thing similar is you’re online with people and they can kill you (which won’t halt any of your progress apparently). I’m not happy about it entirely, and I wish there was an option to play with PVP off, but it’s not Fortnight. It’s more like Rust but with story based objectives.
We also don’t know full specifics of the online yet. It may well be set up to where you can specify you don’t want PVP. My biggest concern is that to accommodate for this many players it’s going to need to be incredibly light on story or player choices.
What makes Fallout so great is that you play the game and experience the world how you want... at your own pace, in your own style. Forcing me to adapt to a specific style of play -with others involved - probably means I'm not going to play at all.
So, the building stuff aspect isn't there too? Because I am fairly certain that is too. The objective is different. But the gameplay seems to be very similar. Maybe Rust is a more accurate comparison. I am not sure. As for Story based objectives, I'm not even sure there will be objectives or a story at this point. Just how much story can one have in a relatively NPC empty wasteland.
r/Games - [E3 2018] Todd Howard confirms Fallout 76 will not have offline mode, "solo play" will include other players. No NPCs aside from robots. There will be private servers.
They’ve said multiple times throughout the presentation “we wanted to know what would happen with one of our games if we just added multiplayer?”. You can play it solo or you can team up (solo seems to still be online). Fallout 4 had full on building settlements before fortnight came along, so I don’t know why you think this is a rip off on that, it also serves an entirely different purpose which you could tell if you’ve played both F4 and Fortnight. sorry, I just think it’s a giant reach to say it’s a Fortnight clone just cause it has multiayer. Genuinely curious, but have you played fortnight or a battle royal game akin to it? You die and you’re out unless a team mate revives you, the end. You’re making an assumption there’s no story in this (not sure why, as they’ve not made any indication to it not having any but given you an objective- “you need to rebuild the world”) and we know there are 6 factions from other sources. Not tying to argue even if it seems like it, I just don’t see the comparison
Yea I know Fallout 4 has a settlement system before fortnite came out, but if you add that, doesn't that just make it a fortnite game? I mean I know the objective is different, but it still very much sounds like they are trying to cash in with the survival battle royale games with this one. Not really saying it is a ripoff. Just a really cheap cash in. Well, exactly what kind of story can you make without NPCs, other than robots to make that happen? And what is going to make up these six different fractions? Robots? Are we going to have six fractions of robots?
