​

After a huge tease of the game via Bethesda Game Studio's Twitch account, a trailer video was released, giving us a look into the latest Fallout game. Gameplay wasn't shown, but we have a title now, Fallout 76, which presumably takes place in Vault 76, a control-vault mentioned in both Fallout 3, and 4. It takes place around 2102, in the timeline (the year FEV was discovered). Fallout 76 is an online game and will be available on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4, and we'll have a better look at actual gameplay during Bethesda's E3 conference.

What happened to 5-75?

Really disappointed if it is indeed an MMO, however i didn't expect it to be the next Fallout game so soon. I would've preferred a remastered Fallout 3 to that though. Just another ESO type of game I won't play if it's the case.

I see no reason why it has to follow the same naming scheme as Elder Scrolls Online.

It would make more sense for a Fallout MMO to use a Vault number in the name as opposed to just "Fallout Online", since the Fallout games only span specific states and who's major plot follows vault dwellers in the US and not an entire fictional contentment like Elder Scrolls

Well, I guess it doesn't have too.

I just imagine a Fallout MMO would have multiple different Vaults, but everyone coming out of the same Vault works too.

I would have preferred a Fallout 3 remaster on Switch, tbh.

Well, if it's anything like ESO? Pass...

 

[Giodude]

Only playing it if they finally ditch that stupid creation engine.

No Switch version?

What a surprise

when i said i wanted multiplayer i didnt mean MMO...... the gameplay in mmos .... meh. but if its not MASSIVELY online, but like Conan Exiles or something where people can make their own servers to dick around in, then im fine.

i know a few people that wouldnt mind playing together, doesn't mean i want to dedicate half my life to an mmo to play with them.

That did cross my mind when I read it was online, but wouldn't they just call it Fallout Online, if that was the case?

Did they resolve the legal troubles with the original parent company? I forget the specifics but when the brand was sold they purposely left room with the originals to finish their online version.

Online game ? Don't see how fallout can succeed as an online game? Look what they did with elder scrolls. Well guess Bethesda is smelling tha moneeyyyyyyy

Fallout style engine in a persistent online space that interacts with loads of other people? Nope. Can't see the appeal there at all.

IDK. I didn't even know they had legal troubles in the first place.

The rumors (take them with a grain of salt) say it's going to be a survival game, akin to Rust or DayZ. While a Fallout MMO (if done right) would be amazing, I think the survival genre is a perfect fit for Fallout. I mean, I enjoyed the hardcore mode in New Vegas and that basically made it a survival game. The survival genre certainly has had an influx of new games lately, but unless you played most of them for whatever odd reason you have no reason to immediately dismiss the notion, especially before we see any actual gameplay.

Ooh, I have a theory! What if the Vault 76 is actually in Colorado? That would make sense, since this seems to be the Tri-Centennial Vault, and Colorado was the Centennial State...

Except the song is West Virginia?

West Virginia confirmed. Sorry, conspiracy theorists. Skip to 1:15.
