According to an exclusive at Deadline the much anticipated Fallout TV series is actually making progress. I remember talking about stuff like this back in 2005 when it was just a dream. Now the nightmare will soon be reality.

Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films, is coming together. Nolan is set to direct the premiere of the series, which is slated to begin production in 2022. Geneva Robertson-Dworet (Captain Marvel) and Graham Wagner (Silicon Valley) have come aboard as showrunners.

“Fallout is one of the greatest game series of all time,” Joy and...

11 months have passed since the last update but today @hexer released a new version of Fallout Yesterday. It's the fourth release of the total conversion mod which aims to bring Fallout Van Buren onto the Fallout 2 engine. And it appears to be a substantial update!

hexer said:

Important: This update focuses on location building progress. Initially just 3 fully finished new locations were planned but in the end I added 13 locations! However, most of them are without new NPCs but there are enemies to waste. Worry not, the progress on NPCs is great and I will talk more about that in the next post. Have fun exploring!

With version V 1.06 released this Friday it is time to upload this article Ashes Afterglow that I had written a while back to provide members and visitors to NMA details about this project,



This October, after two years of development Vostyok and ReformedJoe, with help from other members of the Doom community, revealed the sequel to Ashes 2063. Ashes 2063 was released on September the 23rd 2018. Three months later on December the 10th 2018, ReformedJoe made a small expansion pack called Dead Man Walking (abbreviated to DMW from this point) the storyline loosely serving as a prequel to the first.

For previous articles on these, check the following links; Ashes 2063 [1] and Dead Man Walking...

For some time now a follow up to 2018's Ashes 2063, a Doom post apocalypse themed total conversion, has been in development by its original developer; Vostyok, with the help from other noteworthy Doom modder ReformedJoe whose previous credits on Ashes include the expansion Dead Man Walking.
Retromuffin34 who has assisted with making textures.
WolfseyeRio who did the voice of Athena, the AI of the first episode.
XLightningStormL, who worked on the new radiation script. RamonDexter, who did the journal code. Snarboo, who has assisted with the code for the motorcycle.

And of course new tracks by Primeval, who also did the music for Ashes 2063's expansion.

Last year, Vostyok and his team gave fans of Ashes 2063 a quick taste of Ashes Afterglow when he made a demo available to the public containing the first four maps which link can be found at the end of this article.

Today Vostyok released a trailer to give a glimpse of what players are to expect when they return to the wasteland...

More Fallout mods! This time for Fallout 4 with Fallout: London, which sets itself in, you guessed it, London. Yes, London. You know, fish, chips, cup 'o tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins... LONDON!
The trailer opens in the classic Fallout-style of old music to some camera pulling back revealing a ruined London, then a narrator gives some background on the game while being extremely bri'ish.

Looks like a lot of work has already gone into it, the locations shown do look pretty spiffy.

You may now REEEEEE about how Fallout is totally and utterly rooted in Americana and can't ever be set in Europe.

You guys know New Blood Interactive? You should, they're behind the great retro-shooters (or "boomer shooters" if you like) Dusk and Amid Evil, and they showed a teaser trailer at E3 with some interesting stuff.
Mostly various old-school FPS games like "Ultrakill" and "Fallen Aces", the latter of which showing a pretty neat comic art style, and some other really interesting looking projects, but in between also some interesting and so far unnamed snippets.
One is a car combat game looking very, very much like Interstate '76, which is cool (timestamped to 0:22):

But more importantly, they're showing what appears to be an isometric RPG that looks pretty much EXACTLY like how Fallout pre-war would have looked like (0:17):


That, I absolutely love. Let's hope this is getting anywhere, and Bethesda doesn't decide to sue their asses over this.
People have been suspecting...

To the few Fallout 76 players here, Bethesda announced a few things at E3.
First is a free update called Expiditions: The Pitt, promising the player to go back to the one marginally good place of Fallout 3, The Pitt.

Why is it already called The Pitt? Who knows, but surely Bethesda will treat this one single decent aspect of their own lore with care and respect.

Also, the DLC "Steel Reign" is set to release next month.

The good fellas behind Olympus 2207 are announcing the sequel Olympus 2249!
https://olympus2207.com/en/o2-en/
If you haven't played 2207, don't fear, the sequel will be pretty stand-alone. And apparently it will not be a Fallout 2 TC, but a full-featured game by itself, so that's pretty exciting!

Don't know about you guys and gals, but dat Art Deco/Dieselpunk style is certainly making me happy.
Check it out!

In other news, if you so far haven't played the original TC Olympus 2207 because learning Russian is kind of a big commitment for playing a Fallout 2 TC, fret not, the english translation is now finished and a new version was released.

A new update has been released for the Unofficial Mod and Restoration Project for Fallout 2, updating to version 20, with some gameplay changes and general bugfixes. Ever wanted to use the crowbar to, y'know, open doors? Now you can!

Just thought I'd let you know, surely someone here has some cash stashed somewhere.

So, Fallout: New Vegas was released 10 years ago.
Yeah, it's been this long since we had a decent Fallout game.

That's it. Just noticed that nobody posted the news

Kind of. I can't say I am surprised Bethesda is now whoring out the last vestiges of RPG left in this once esteemed RPG series. You do realize this is the beginning of the end? What other Fallout abominations are in store for us in the future? Leave a comment and let me know what you think. I still have my hopes for a sellout Fallout RTS or 4X game. I'd buy that for a dollar.

NMA...professional journalism. Always.

Thanks to @AgentBJ09 for taking the time to actually play Fallout 76 and writing up this comprehensive review!

Kept you waiting, huh?

Let's not waste any time with this. If you are reading this, then you know that Fallout 76 was a money sink, a bad idea, a glitch-fest, and many other negative things. It was a cavalcade of embarrassment of such proportions that only the launch of the Playstation 2 and the Red Ring of Death plague could match up to it.

Well done, Bethesda. Well done.

Even better, because this is an Always-Online game, the usual modding suspects -- you know who you are -- could not come to Bethesda’s rescue and spend their own unpaid time fixing the game, and in turn drive up sales without earning anything themselves.

Seriously modders, stop fixing these busted as hell games for free. Your time and toil is more worthwhile than that and you are wasting it by...

Once again I'm asking for your financial support
Wait, no, that meme is over.

So the Wastelander add-on for Fallout: 76 is being released today after a few delays. At adds human NPCs to the game, so it's like 5% on the way to a full game now?

...

Is anyone here playing Fallout: 76?

I was told to post about this game since it is Fallout inspired and I always do what I am told. Apparently there was an older version that has now been removed since the game was totally overhauled. According to Codex it is pretty good so don't let the simplistic graphics fool you. This was made by yet another Codex poster. There must be something in the water over there. Probably FEV. The smart kind.











...

The Wastelanders expansion will be released for free in April. It does appear to look more like a singleplayer Bethesda Fallout game, so this might please some hardcore fans.



In a recent interview with USGamer Pete Hines spoke about the reception of 76. You can find a snippet of that below, with the full link at the bottom.

Pete Hines said:

"Well, I mean at the end of the day, our intention was always, we're going to put this out there, see what folks think, and then cater the stuff that we do later to their reaction. So, for example, I think we were a little surprised how few people wanted to take part in PvP and how many more they were interested in PvE together. As opposed to, 'I want to test my mettle against you and let's get into a duel.' There's some folks who do, don't get me wrong, but I think it's a smaller percentage of our player base than we thought."

I figure this is worth posting again now that it is out of beta. I'm simply posting what @Lexx has said before for those unfamiliar with the project. Ask him any questions you might have.

Fallout et tu (also called Fallout 1@2, 1at2, or 1in2) is a Fallout to Fallout 2 engine conversion brought to you by Rotators (the people who made FOnline: 2238 and stuff). As the name suggests, the aim of this project is to bring the first Fallout game into the engine of the second while utilizing Fallout 2's features wherever we can (within reason).

Generally we do not try to make a 1:1 copy of the first game. So, if you want to play the 100% real deal, the very pure experience so to speak, you should grab the original Fallout 1 instead of this mod.
However, if you do not mind the one or the other change in mechanics (only improvements, in my humble opinion), then Fallout et tu can be your way to go!

Not to forget: This project is a more accessible modding platform and...

https://www.kotaku.com.au/2019/11/fallout-76-refund-australia-accc/
The Australian Competition and Consumer Comission has ordered Zenimax to allow certain refunds for Fallout 76. Apparently, ZeniMax tried to weasel out of refunds by claiming that customers can't have a refund if they bought Fallout 76 through the Bethesda Store or a third party retailer. I wonder where you could buy it then and have the right to a refund... But, of course, it was bollocks, and customers do in fact have the right to a refund according to 'straya.

"ZeniMax has acknowledged that they are likely to have misled certain Australian consumers about their rights to a refund when they experienced faults with their Fallout 76 game," said ACCC Commissioner Sarah Court.

Classic

The Bethesda fanbase is in revolt. All the normal Youtube shills, even the ones that once said Bethesda could do no wrong, are actually revolting. For years people begged Bethesda to allow Obsidian to make another Fallout, but they chose to toss it to their B team, creating the abomination known as Fallout 76. Behind the scenes Obsidian slowly bid their time, nearly going bankrupt in the process, until Microsoft swallowed them up, allowing them to continue existing long enough to launch The Outer Worlds.

Obsidian, plagued by low sales with Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny, must have thought to themselves – gee nobody is buying these games because they are isometric. Now bleeding money partly due nepotism, partly due to a history of buggy masterpieces that sold poorly, they say screw it we will make our own FPS RPG, but first we need that sweet Microsoft money. It has released to critical acclaim, with a much smaller scale than the average Bethesda game, but also a lot less bugs...
