Skynet Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Fallout is a little too text-heavy to be on the DS. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Don't see why that would be a problem. Do you mean it's not possible or it's not suited ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Imagine, for example, the dialogue screen used in Fallout 1&2. Now, imagine trying to condense it to fit on the screen of a gameboy. It would look a little awkward, no? "Who could blame Skynet? He's such a cute, innocent, steel-bolted robot." -Gauntlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look a little awkward, no? On a Gameboy perhaps.. but there's also the PSP! It has a somewhat higher resolution screen, although I am sure they would have to compress it a little even for the PSP. Ok, I looked it up: 480x272.. that's uh.. still too little.

Judge Hades Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 No console junkie would play Fallout except that craptastic title Interplay did FOPOS.

If people can handle the likes of FireEmblem/Advance Wars , Fallouts not going to be a challenge in any way. If anything FO may just be too easy. I have to agree with Volourn.

CoM_Solaufein Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 A fine game like Fallout needs to stay for the pc and pc only. Consolers have enough little games to play with.

Consolers have enough little games to play with. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If interplay can sell it they should. The early Final Fantasies were given a GBA makeover (although they still wont release FFIII here I think they do it on purpose just to annoy me). IP probably have a lot of stuff that they were releasing 10 years ago which could re emerge on a handheld. I bugged BF to make a wasteland handheld during the Bards Tale develpment.

mkreku Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Fallout isn't dead. There's a sequel brewing in the Bethesda headquarters. Whether you like it or not, Fallout is far from dead.

Judge Hades Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Sorry, Fallout is done and over with since Fallout 2. I don't know what Bethesda is cooking up but it won't be Fallout. It will be like FOT and FOPOS. Fallout in name only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkreku Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Lovely. We don't need any more Fallout sequels or anything else that could tarnish its good name. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I fail to see the logic in that. I played Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel long after I had played Fallout & Fallout 2, and I still think those are excellent games, despite FOBOS. Why would a bad sequel somehow affect a good original? It doesn't work that way. I believe it has the opposite effect, actually. I think a lot of folks remember Deus Ex (for example) as a hell of a lot better than they first thought, after playing through Deus Ex: Invisible War, just because the sequel was so crappy.

CoM_Solaufein Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 If Bethesda was making a Fallout game it would have none of the original designers on it, there for it wouldn't be any good. The old core team is what made Fallout so great. Having a bunch noobs screwing around with it is just bad.

Judge Hades Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 (edited) Because it degrades the series as a whole. Take the Deus Ex series as a whole and compare it tothe Baldur's Gate Series as a whole and tell me which series is better. If I was to compare the BG series as a whole to the Fallout series I would say BG series were better. If I was just to FO 1 and 2, the Fallouts were better, but taking each series as a whole the overall quality in the BG games are better. Speaking of noobie developers, has Bethesda done any science fiction role playing games ever? Edited November 8, 2005 by Hades_One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Yet it is FO and needs to be like that for it to remain FO. One of the reasons why FO needs to stay dead. FO 1 and FO 2 were wonderful and great games back in the day, but today they just don't cut it. If they try to modernize Fallout it will lose some key elements that made Fallout well Fallout. Let Fallout be dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Because it degrades the series as a whole. Yeah.. And that will matter as soon as I figure out how to play a series instead of the individual games I currently am forced to install. If I feel like playing Fallout, Fallout: Tactics will have no influence whatsoever on my gaming experience, no matter what I think about that sequel. Why would anyone view individual games as a series..? What's the point of that? That would mean that the Ultima series is bad, seeing as Ultima 1, Ultima 2, Ultima 6, Ultima 8 and Ultima 9 are less than average games. Still people regard the good Ultima's as some of the best games ever. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Hades Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 The only Ultima games I view as bad were 8 and 9 the rest were average or better than average given the timeframe in which they were originally released. I view games as a whole series, not individual games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoM_Solaufein Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Having a series is like those trashy slasher flicks. The first couple are good or great but as another is made they become cheap trash.
