They said Interplay could make the mmo, but then said that they violated the contract which apparently said they could only use the Fallout name. Also they didn't want Interplay to forget the lore that Bethesda already forgeted up. --- End quote --- I like bethesda's lore :c But Fallout 1 & 2 seemed like they had an awesome story. I just could never get into the game style. Though Fallout New Vegas just seemed really lazy. I mean I liked the buildings and stuff they made, but the whole game just felt so empty. In Fallout 3 the whole map was just copy pasted buildings over and over, but I didn't feel like I was all alone. --- Quote from: Night Fox on June 12, 2013, 03:09:54 AM ---is it just me or is like, a co-op version a lot more interesting than an MMO --- End quote --- An open persistent world would be pretty cool. But I'm a sucker for that type of game. |

Has cars, crafting(mean you can craft a minigun and other stuff) and role play. Factions play a big part in the game by attacking undefended towns and then they can control them for 24 hours until the town unlocks and the factions attack again. The eastern European players were jerks as you would find yourself getting blown up with a rocket from all the way across the map only to find some a group of people stand over your splattered remains say "Polack". Good times. Van Burean was going to be cooperative, as well as a few other cancelled titles. Also while I consider New Vegas superior to 3, the cities were empty, and there was no real motive to go after Benny. In Fallout 1 the Main quest was always the priority and if time ran out you failed and everyone died and that water chip was a big deal. With New Vegas it getting shot by Benny wasn't a big deal, it like "okay this dude shot you, go find him for some reason because he took some chip that upgrades the securitrons." |

However it gets the lawless wasteland thing down pretty well, which is trust no one. Assume everyone is a murderer or thief or in some cases a Self Delete bomber. It was common to see people in the NCR capital get blown up by Self Delete bombers. edit: nevermind, the servers are going down permentally. But they will continue to work on the engine and keep the forums going. http://fonline2238.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-end.html |
