Ausir Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Fear not, Bethesda has not announced a new Fallout spin-off. Fallout Extreme was a canceled squad-based first- and third-person tactical game for the Xbox, using the Unreal Engine and developed by Interplay's 14 Degrees East division. http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Au...rt_I:_the_story The Brotherhood of Steel (judging from the concept art, probably the Midwestern branch from Fallout Tactics), the "once silent organization", has been expanding and seizing more and more territory under their control. Their area of influence stretches as far as Alaska, where the Brotherhood's new headquarters is now located. The Brotherhood's agenda "leaves little room for the survival of radiation or FEV outbreak victims" (which actually sounds more like the Enclave than the BoS). Local humans are either drafted into the Brotherhood's ranks as cannon fodder or enslaved, and mutants are outright eradicated. It is the Brotherhood that the player would oppose during the first half of the game. The player controls a squad of revolutionaries known as The Cause. Throughout the game, it would gain momentum, starting in Oregon, Washigton and Canada. Each reclaim town would vow loyalty to the player's cause. However, after defeating the Brotherhood, the player would learn why the Brotherhood set out to Alaska in the first place. The rebels must now venture across the Bering Strait, through Russia and Mongolia and finally into China, in order to destroy the Doom's Day Missile that could obliterate what is left of America. The endgame would take place within the Forbidden City, where the Chinese Emperor resides. Among the factions encountered along the way would be the Issaquah Nation, the Inuits, the Montauk, the Horde of Huns, Siberian Cossacks and finally the Army of the Golden Tiger and New Imperial Guard.

Hurlshort Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 They should make it like Jagged Alliance 2. In fact they should ditch their engine and use the Silent Storm one, and then hire all the people from Sir-Tech to make the game.
Ausir Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 That would be Fallout Tactics 2, not Fallout eXtreme! Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
Flouride Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Oh dear god, even the name sounds awful. Lorewise I can't even imagine how bad it would have been. I personally wouldn't mind playing a Jagged Alliance 2 styled game set in Fallout world, as long as the lore is properly done.. Hate the living, love the dead.
Slowtrain Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Yeah, the name makes me think of BMX biking in the wasteland. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Pop Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 That would be Fallout Tactics 2, not Fallout eXtreme! Wasn't Tactics 2 going to take place in Florida? I thought the idea of a ****ed up out of control GECK to be rather interesting Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!

Monte Carlo Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 It's a brilliant idea just to see the Fallout Taliban freaking out.
Ausir Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 More information: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Au...I:_the_gameplay Some of the gameplay aspects were actually pretty cool. Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
Flouride Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 I personally wouldn't mind playing a Jagged Alliance 2 styled game set in Fallout world That's called Fallout Tactics. Except they totally ****ed up pretty much everything in Fallout: Tactics. Missions are way too long, lorewise the game is annoying. Your charachters have no personality etc..

jero cvmi Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 So it's a game about a group of revolutionaries that walk from Seattle to Beijing? President Mao would be proud.

I enjoyed Tactics, but it was a far cry from JA2. The character personalities was probably the biggest crime, but the horrid inventory was probably a close second.
Tigranes Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Huh. The gameplay stuff sounds interesting, actually. Let's Play: Icewind Dale Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Icewind Dale II Ironman (Complete) Let's Play: Divinity II (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG1 (Complete) Let's Play: Baldur's Gate Trilogy Ironman - BG2 (In Progress)

I enjoyed Tactics, but it was a far cry from JA2. The character personalities was probably the biggest crime, but the horrid inventory was probably a close second. For the most part I enjoyed it too, but not as long as I thought of it as a Fallout game, and I definitely experienced diminishing returns the further along I got. The developer didn't really get the franchise, and didn't really do their homework to insure continuity. The art style and characters were also fairly bizare. But I have to say a true marriage between JA gameplay and FO's setting/CC/rpg trappings would be truely epic. But for all of us, there will come a point where it does matter, and it's gonna be like having a miniature suit-head shoving sticks up your butt all the time. - Tigranes
Ausir Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 Aside from the bad story and TPP/FPP aspect, Fallout Extreme would actually be closer to JA2 than FOT was. Pillars of Eternity Wiki * The Vault - Fallout Wiki * Wasteland 2 Wiki
Syraxis Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Aside from the bad story and TPP/FPP aspect, Fallout Extreme would actually be closer to JA2 than FOT was. But would it be XTREME enough?
J.E. Sawyer Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 They could have replaced Nuka Cola with Surge. Though I guess FO:BoS already did that with Bawls. lol twitter tyme
Syraxis Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Surge. **** was so cash. They srsly need to bring it back on the market.
Mikhailian Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Surge. **** was so cash. They srsly need to bring it back on the market. I'm down to one caffeinated beverage a day, and if coffee didn't take up that spot, a lot of people would wind up dead by noon. Although I do have some interesting highschool memories involving mixing Smirnoff into my bottles of Surge so I could get drunk in class...

Alcohol in high school? We used to order 24 oz cups of coffee/hot chocolate from WaWa (think 7-11) in the mornings, and mix them with Kahula. Good times were had.

I enjoyed Tactics more than JA2 but possibly because it was Fallout and because I played Tactics first. It did muck up some Fallout canon but w/e - beats Fallout 3! Edited January 28, 2010 by Krezack
Purkake Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I'm still pissed that I couldn't figure out how to start Tactics with a deathclaw character

I had to save up my lunch dough for a week just to afford my middle-shelf vodka of choice, the rest of the time it was either McCormick, or Everclear.
