I’m so torn on fallout 76 I would love another game similar to new Vegas but it doesn’t sound like it. At the same time it’s fallout and I’ll wanna play it either way but I may skip it if it is going the way of what the “leaks” are saying.I’m just hoping it ends up being more new Vegas style than what these “leaks” are saying.

[Garethvk]

I think it is safe to say it will likely not be like the others. Free to play has been kicked around but likely an online aspect.

[--bienio--]

If it’s online I will skip this:( sadly

[Garethvk]

I think it will be key in what they do with it. Free to play online only is one thing but a game that allows co-op and team play has potential.

[kneon]

@Garethvk

I see lots of opportunity for some kind of co-op game. You could have a team build a settlement, scavenge the wasteland for resources and then defend against waves of attackers.

[showtimefolks]

It's not online because Bethesda current engine won't allow deep online modes

It might have some online aspects but I don't see a online only fallout game

[Lighter9]

Let's just wait until E3 until we make a judgement call. It's a week from now. One of the leaks I heard was ghoul-elephants that escaped from a zoo. They can't all be real.

[Bobafret]

Dang, and I was interested in ghoul elephants.

[CurbStompin]

This is a fallout survival game.

[-Foxtrot]

Bethesda - "SavePlayer1"

***6 Months Later***

Bethesda - "Online Fallout"

Whut???

[joab777]

It’s a service game. Look at the money ESO is making. Why make another ES right now? It will be some type of survival mmo of sorts is my guess.

[3-4-5]

I've never played a fallout game but I've known of them since the 90's. Always kind of interested me but never enough to play.

I actually am interested in this one.

[Cmv38]

Not sure why people are so opposed to multiplayer fallout, I think it's a great universe to co op in . Now if it's PvP functionality, not so much. plus it doesn't sound like this replaces the existence of a fallout 5 down the road, and I wouldn't doubt if another developer is working on a new Vegas line spin off. Let's just breathe, and see how this turns out.

[Garethvk]

I would like a multiplayer version.

[getbacktogaming]

A traditionally single player franchise is releasing a new game this time with a multiplayer focus... It doesn't matter what Bethesda does in the future; right now a bunch of people are naturally feeling disappointed.

[Cmv38]

I hate change as Much as the next person, and yes single player games matter, but if this industry doesn't have diversity and franchises door change things up every now and then things become stagnant and die off.

[getbacktogaming]

Fallout has plenty of room to evolve as a single player... Bethesda just wants a piece of the multiplayer pie.

[OneLove]

People need to get over it. It seems like a spin off and it's just the Sony fans mad that multiplayer is the real money maker.

[IndieFolk]

Yeah, because "people" were totally expecting a sequel that soon. /s

They just made something "people" were not waiting for, then if "people" aren't interested in it, they should just skip it and wait for Fallout 5 within 5 years as they were doing before Bethesda announced 76. SMH.

[IamTylerDurden1]

I'd rather a New Vegas style game than an ESO "Fallout" edition. If they want a mp Fallout why not do New Vegas 2 but with drop in/out co op? Make a Fallout side story like New Vegas, but with co op similar to Borderlands.

Fallout does indeed have an interesting world, but so did Elder Scrolls. Do we really want Fallout turned into a f2p, MT ridden style game?

[Cmv38]

And that idea sounds great, that could be similar to what's going on here. My point is people are panicking at the very thought of multiplayer. Let's condemn if bad not based solely pin multiplayer.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

People are opposed to multiplayer anything. There are some gamers who strangely despise anything online related, and there are some gamers who say single player games aren't worth the money. For some reason it seems more and more rare to find people who just enjoy both, on the internet anyway.

[DerekTweed]

No friends to play online with?

(Not you. The people who hate multiplayer)

[InKnight7s]

Fallout esport?

[Garethvk]

That is what so much is focused on now. You have game that are designed as eSports first in their design priority.

[Gwiz]

That and streaming,it's the ultimate advertising.Just look at sports and advertising in general.

[Garethvk]

So true. You have all sorts of talking head celebs popping up who do not even play the games just talk about them.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

But how many of these games are competitive enough to be eSports? If I remember right, Dissidia NT wanted a piece of that pie and it kinda flopped. Even newer games like Street Fighter aren't as balanced as they should be for competitive play. People can stream for the sheer spectacle which I'm fine with (especially single-player games), but it's hard work and alot of time to get a game down pat for the purpose of making it an esport.

[cfc83]

I though a fallout MP would be impossible ?

[Garethvk]

We will see in a week but it will be interesting.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

I can see it working best as a co-op like Monster Hunter, not sure how PvP would work without frustrating players though.

[Tobse]

Make Fallout like rust and see how they climb in the Top 10 steam Charts

[Garethvk]

Interesting idea.

[Nacho_Z]

The only thing I don't like about the idea of Fallout Online is if it had an effect on SP games coming out. Other than that it could absolutely be a lot of fun for me if it's got co-op. It'd be cool creating a tribe, building a base and going to war.

[Garethvk]

Bethesda has been going the way of longer single play with no multiplayer as we saw in the last three Wolfenstein releases and Prey. But Doom had a nice mix of campaign and online. I hope RAGE 2 has an online option as well.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

Doom's multi-player never took off though but I blame that on trying to modernize it to be more like Cod or Battlefield, should have kept it more like Unreal or Golden Eye than anything. I only ever got to play multi-player two or three times and then matchups became almost impossible.

[Garethvk]

I think they counted on more people making custom maps as well.

[ziggurcat]

Oh man, I just realized that E3 is pretty much a week away!

[Garethvk]

I know, we leave early Monday. Have a staffer going over Saturday for some conferences.

[Atanasrikard]

The first press event is on Saturday, so I consider that e3 starting in less than a week!

[Artemidorus]

Lackluster. Will wait and see for the day.

[nunley33]

The list doesn't have dreams on it and Sony is definitely showing that at E3 so take the list with a grain of salt.

[Rimeskeem]

They understand it’s Black Ops IV right?

[Minus2trill]

My only concern is if it's a multiplayer fallout. is it's successful they will scrap the traditional fallout formula, like they are basically doing with elders scroll. Now a days every company is either all in on battle royals or mmo/ free to play games and if it makes money it will be the norm gping forward.

[LeeFender]

Can someone please post the leaked titles here, not listening to the podcast.
