Went from a day 1 to nah in one day fs, i love fallout but this? This dont sound like fallout to me. No npcs? Just holotapes, terminals and robots!!! Players will grief regardless, gonna be shit when you have built up ur base and some rando nukes it.

Imp0ssibl32181d ago

Except it makes perfect sense in the lore. In 2102 there are basically no factions and most vaults are still locked. Thus humans aren't really populating areas.

IRetrouk2181d ago

There should be plenty of humans about ghouls and otherwise,not every human would have been killed or even eradiated so to have none at all to me makes no sense, they want to change a single player to multi, fine for fans that want that but this fan does not.

mkis0072181d ago

It might make sense, but the fallout name means more than a world devoid of characters.

AcidDvl2181d ago

Vault 76 is literally the first vault to be open.
How do you populate the world with human NPCs, if there are none?

Profchaos2181d ago

Ghouls as they are still living and must have not lost their sanity yet.

fiveby92181d ago

Agreed. I think it makes perfect sense that the world is not heavily populated. Robots and various creatures make sense given the timeline. I am cautiously optimistic. But I won't pre-order as I am happy to skip the beta and review some vids before making purchase decision this fall.

LordJamar2181d ago

Good bye then wont be missed

KingKionic 2181d ago

I wasn't really convinced by the presentation.

I think they should of skipped this and stop the nonsense so they can get the next Elder scrolls out before CD Projekt releases there next masterpiece Cyberpunk2077.

They slippin in these streets.

EazyC2181d ago

I really feel that Cyberpunk is a long ways off for some reason, I just don't know how they'll get that game working on current consoles. FWIW I wasn't impressed either, why not let Obsidian do another Fallout? I guess this type of game will sell more, but what about artistic/series integrity?

LordJamar2181d ago

We just gonna ignore. Star field and new elder scrolls game? Or the fact this is just a spin off vs 4 single player fallout games? Stop overreacting

showtimefolks2181d ago

jamar

yes we are gonna ignore games which are years away from being released to discuss a online fallout game that not many asked for especially after their campaign last of of saving single player

Profchaos2181d ago

Massive fan of fallout but significantly disappointed. I'll be skipping this one.

I don't want to spend time progressing only to have my settlement randomly nuked.

Also if you base the game around the kindness of others online is essentially going to be gta online or red dead redemptions lobby just an all out death match

Alexious2181d ago

He said they're working on a solution to minimize griefing.

GamesMaster19822181d ago

Only way would be if we could log in a set it so my game is private and I never meet another player unless I invite them . Other than that I don’t think I’m going to bother either with it. The online community is going to be a cancer like gta online. Don’t get me wrong when online is done right it can be amazing, like yourself and just friends.

Profchaos2181d ago

I remember when rockstar gave players the ability to launch orbital strikes in online it turned into chaos but now in fallout you can nuke every and all the work they put into their base.

Same concept really

Lighter92181d ago

Ikr? I swear. Some people are not hearing the facts because they're in such a hurry to judge a game that they haven't even played yet.

terrorofdeath2181d ago

How about something like the Division where you do see other players in safe zones but then doing quests is just you and your team. Then maybe add an option to toggle PVP?

gamer92180d ago

Calm down, there's 25 players in a map 4x the size of fallout 4? So that’s about 6 players in the fallout 4 map. I'd worry about seeing nobody at all than a deathmatch

PiNkFaIrYbOi2181d ago

I just want the Fallout 76 Power Armor Edition, won't play the game but the spiffy things in the edition are awesome.

GamesMaster19822181d ago

I too would like that, but I can’t justify the price for a bit of plastic and a game that I on on the fence about

Elwenil2180d ago

I'm 100% behind the game, but I agree, $200 is a lot for some plastic, cool as it is.

Now if it were a T-60 or X-01 helmet, I'd probably have to reconsider though. ;D

DeadIIIRed2181d ago

I'm fine with the direction they're going, but am a little concerned that the quests are going to suffer for it. A huge semi-online world is great, but not if it feels empty.

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff218318h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan3h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin1h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_27m ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

-Foxtrot18h ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink10h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla3h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5232h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin1h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-6422m ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

excaliburps4h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla3h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb3h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing693h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip22m ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.
