Where a Fallout game is set doesn’t just change the name and aesthetic, it shapes the culture of those living in the environment. Of course, Fallout shouldn’t mutate into a full on Mad Max game, there’s already one of those on the way, but it would be a very useful addition, making world travel a lot quicker and more exciting.įallout 4: can we have more customisable cars like Mad Max does please? Photograph: Moviestore/REX Shutterstock/Moviestore/REX_Shutterstock Boston here we come Despite the garage screenshot doing the rounds, we haven’t quite seen anything equating to a personal vehicle yet.īeing able to repair and customise vehicles with scavenged parts will mean we’re able to look awesome firing a 10mm machine gun at raiders while belting along astride a customised squad bike. In the trailer, there are huge ships on what look like stilts, blimps, and something like a fighter jet. So far, only Fallout 2’s Chevy-like Highwayman has been driveable. A lot of the time they are just metallic husks, or highly explosive nuclear wrecks, but isn’t it time that at least some of them are useable? We’ve seen other factions throughout the series employing various modes of transport – it’s time for Bethesda to put us behind the wheel. When you wander the Wasteland, you see cars, motorbikes, trucks, and aeroplanes scattered everywhere. So ahead of that official confirmation, here’s some of what we want to see from the next instalment. Desperately scavenging for irradiated Nuka Cola in a collapsed house before a robot with a flame thrower jumps you shouting “you ready to die for your country you commie son of bitch?!”, is just one of the crazed moments these games throw at you with nihilistic abandon.
Heavily inspired by the Mad Max movies as well as end-of-the-world fiction like A Boy and His Dog, its combination of 1950s Americana and desolate, nuclear-grade violence, has struck a chord with millions of gamers. When it comes to post-apocalyptic open-world video games, the Fallout series is the genre’s gruesomely mutated king. And, after seeing the trailer, that sound is my head exploding with excitement like a radroach blasted with a plasma rifle. The ticker was, of course, leading us toward the official announcement of Fallout 4, which is set for release on PC, Xbox One and PS4. O n Tuesday, Bethesda stuck a 24-hour countdown on its website, and Twitter blew up like a nuclear warhead.
