Fallout 76

[Taernath]

Unknown what kind of game it is. Looks like it's using the same FO4 engine.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_76

The Vault-Tec terminal in the Citadel lists Vault 76 as a "control" vault, with 500 occupants. The vault was designed to open 20 years after a nuclear war, and was among the seventeen known control vaults, meaning that it was used as a baseline to compare to experimental vaults. It is also mentioned in one of the alien captive recorded logs (no.13) recorded by Giles Wolstencroft, a Vault-Tec official who was abducted while inspecting the vault's construction site. In Fallout 4, the newsreader in the prologue mentions Vault 76 debuting in 2076 in honor of America's tercentenary when discussing Vault-Tec's plans to expand.

Sounds like if this is a main series Fallout game and not some kind of basebuilding or MMO spinoff as some have speculated, it would be the first in the FO series chronologically if it's set in 2097.

Yeah. They're making the totally new engine for the next ES, coming out after Rage, FO, and a possibly a few smaller games.

We are totally getting Fallout: Appalachia.

I am 100% on-board the hype train.

76 is canonically in Virginia. All of the geographical references in Country Roads are in Virginia.

Ol' Peam's house is gonna be in Fallout.

Supposedly this will be an "online game" according to Polygon and Kotaku. I hope the only extent of it is co-op or something, not a full blown MMO.

I don't know why Zenimax would want one of its studios competing with its other, MMO wise. Probably co-op/online elements. It is Bethesda making it, not ZOS.

Because there is a market for it. Do you even business?

There isn't really. The MMO market isn't what it used to be at all. All they'd be doing, essentially, is taking this group of paying customers from ESO and putting them over there. They'd get a lot of dudes at sign up, but it'd go down again. Plus, as I said, it is Bethesda making it, not ZOS.

If ZOS was making it, I'd believe it was an MMO.

Co-op would be awesome.

Co-op would be awesome.

Someone modded the shit out of Skyrim and created a co-op mode.

I know what I'm doing when I get home.
