Project V13 Screenshots and more Concept Art

I don't know, I enjoy some of the look. The screen shots are definitely ugly, I liked the van buren view a lot better. But the concept art is pretty cool. I like that form of power armor. Lokos nice and beat up.
 
The biggest problem right now is the buildings, I'm with Dutch that the city doesn't look like a city decades or more than a century after a nuclear holocaust. I'm not super keen on a semi-cell shaded look for a Fallout game and the super mutants need a much more grotesque skin. The outfit the PC is wearing looks like a combination of the Vault Dweller from the end of Fallout and the Fallout 3 vault suit. I like it as an outfit but for a vault suit it needs some tweaks.

Onto the concept art. I like the power armor but it feels too steampunk for Fallout. The shipyard could make for an interesting area, though I'd like to see a lot more corrosion on the ships. Snow City doesn't look Fallout to me, it hasn't been through a nuclear apocalypse. The Underground City is iffy to me, with the green glowing balls being taken from Titan A.E. and the whole idea conflicting with the Vaults and how they were made. It also seems like it might be influenced by the crappy Matrix sequels.

i am kind of disappointed, i know these are very early pieces of art & shots but they all lack of quality. compare them to the van buren concept / shots, VB looks A LOT better even if its older.

if some interplay drops an eye here, i can do concepts for them for free if they ask, just because i love the franchise. here's my portfolio:

I really REALLY hope that FO will eventually turn to be good, because right now looks very crappy.

Hah, this nutty Romanian guy is still alive? :rofl: Now seriously, what about contributing us instead them? At least you wouldn't have to be jealous about the wages, because there's obvïously no cash flowage whatsoever. :D
 
I'm not really impressed, but at least the super mutant looks better than Bethshit's does.
 
Whats that shitty big armor? Does it run with fire or from where comes that light?

I am not impressed right now. Looks like WoW to me in kind of graphics. What I now wonder is, if the perspective will stay that 3rd person like or if - by any chance - it will change into iso-like.

Yeah, we all know that Fallout 3 was a big win with moneyz $$$, but it just stinks to copy that bastard style.

Can't believe that you still expected something fallouty and true oldschool. They just need quick money, n'est pas? :smug:

Not really possible, because of the supermutants.

Yeah, my expectations are pretty low already, but as I just found, it goes still deeper.

I don't want to rate the game now on the screens, because it is far to early for it. But yeah.. first feeling is somehow... Fallout 3 with many players.


/Edit: I just hope on a good setting right now. Give me story and world details and how everything is written down and I might change my mind. But if this will become another plain stupid Fallout 3-like bullcrap, it's just over with it.
 
All looks good to me. A bit cartoony, true, but the old school games seem to have a bit of a comic vibe in the sprites, so I can accept that. The power armor, on the other hand, is fugly. I mean, the size is okay, I guess, but that in no way resembles any power armor I've seen in any FO game ever. Worst thing I've seen from V13 since the purple skies.

Edit: Also, I'm taking into account how early in the design process they should be -- hopefully, they'll get quite a bit more polish, assuming Beth doesn't somehow demolish them in court. Also, on further reflection, I apparently need to go mourn the iso view -- YAY IMMERSHUN!1one.
 
So....

World of Falloutcraft, huh?


Compared to those screenshots Beth's Fallout 3 is bazzilion times more Fallouty.

Seriously, those screenshots are so fucking horrible I am at a loss for words. I wish more that ever for Interplay to just DIE.

Looks like frymuchan's trying to get you hired: http://www.interplay.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=1856 :)
 
The suit of the main character is weird in a bad way, but the concept of the power armor has, what looks like, a Vault Jumpsuit underneath.

And the 2D concepts are really cool. And yes, the screenshots already look better than FO3, even at this early unmapped/unbumped techdemo-ish version. The supermutant is seen at a crappy angle, so I cannot judge, but it seems undertextured, which is normal for that stage of production.
 
I know it's supposed to be huge (talking about the power armor), but isn't the ratio between length of torso and arms/legs a little off? Yes, i know it isn't supposed to fit like a suit and you are somewhere inside and not exactly where the arms are for example, but it still feels somewhat off to me :?

That thing looks for either heavy constructions and lifting or maybe just throwing punches and certainly not for heavy combat.
 
I agree that they may have tried to make it look much like Fallout 3 to appeal to the newer crop of fallout fans. Doesn't bother me, I think there are too many people freaking out about the quality of the graphics and art style so far. Seattle would be an awesome location! The pacific north west would make for a great fallout.

Still too early to tell how this is going to turn out, I think visually it will end up being fine. Probably not as good looking as Fallout 3, but different and good in its own right. I have more hope for this being more of a proper fallout game than Fallout 3 was. Being an MMO I imagine they will have to do a better job of making it have proper RPG elements than what Bethesda got away with.

Also I am quite surprised that they released screen shots already. What was the reason behind this?
 
Lacks shadows, hence looks very bad / unrealistic. Wooz physics 101. Nice to see the "proof" though =)
