Fallout Revelation Blue: Van buren remake for New Vegas

I'm interested in seeing Tibbets rendered for my own reasons but I'm doubtful this will go hugely far.

You never know, though.

 

I will always have high hopes for any Fallout fan game -- I love New California and followed it since its' Project Brazil days, I played Fallout: Nevada and had a blast, I played Fallout: Resurrection and loved it (but could not finish it due to a bug), and I'm actively following Fallout: Yesterday and have played the current release for hours...

For this project, all we have is a teaser trailer so far, but I'm still excited to see how this is going to end up. The Van Buren story is always one I've wanted to experience, especially since the game was 90% finished before it was cancelled, and the design documents were leaked. Listening to Retcon Raider read them made my imagination run wild and eager to play the game and explore the places detailed in each of the documents.

 

Actually, from what I remember from articles, Van Buren was far from being finished.
It was not just "a couple more months".

While I am probably one of the loudest voices here on the forums that still mourns that Van Buren got cancelled along with Black Isle's ideas for a Fallout 4, I also think we should not raise our hopes too much on this TC recreating what the original team had in mind. Let alone if it ever gets finished at all.

I myself don't think that FNV is a good basis to recreate Van Buren in.
The project that is going on in one of the forums is much closer to what Van Buren was going to be like.

If it were only possible to use all the energy we spend here discussing Van Buren and Fallout, to make a Fallout game of our own.

 

I would rather people spend their time helping Hardboiled wanderer and the guy who is making Fallout yesterday then help make this. Not trying to be a dick. I just don't think the NV engine is a good fit for VB. But knowing how dumb the Fallout community is; this will probably get more attention.

 

now to be fair, skill in modding gamebryo probably doesn't translate well to modding the Fallout engine or building an engine from scratch as Hardboiled Wanderer is doing.

 

Hello! How is it going up there? Any success?

 

Completely forgot about this. Apparently there was an update video from a month ago.

 

Hi im JoacoN, one of the devs for the mod.
I wanted to comment that the project has been going pretty well, most of it is still in pre production, but theres still work being for asset creation and test maps.
Right now the team is centering in writing, and with help from the Lead Dev im making a Van Buren site to store all the information related to it (development documents, videos, tests, developer interviews, etc...)

 

Thanks for chiming in to confirm this isn't dead. Can I ask how in terms of "canon" are you planning to go? Obviously a lot of Van Buren got rewritten for NV, so are you planning to go more faithful recreation, or making some attempt to make it fit into NV (if that even makes sense).

 

Total aside, but do you know of any Nifscope/script tutorials for creating automatic leg adjustments for the player model's leg & foot placement? Where it adjusts for curbs and other minor elevations underfoot on the terrain?

 

Well for the current development plans, its leaning more to a faithful recreation style. Its not going to include the FNV interpretation of Van Burens story, but rather, the original one expanded with new elements. Obviously things had to be changed to accomodate for the different gameplay perspective, but its still respecting the original direction.
Another thing to note is that the mod isnt going to have an open world like the newer fallout games, but something more akin to the older ones, were places are divided by areas and you can use caravans or cars to travel. This lets you create more detailed areas consuming less resources, while also making sure we dont overscope by adding needless locations and mechanics for the open world

 

Well thats something im not experienced in as im mostly working in art and writing, but theres a very good GDC talk about procedual animation being utilised for small adjustments:


I hope its useful

 

Thanks.

 

That sounds pretty cool actually. There was a mod like that called Salt Lake City stories where he had like a map system where you like drove a car or something it was cool. Does that mean I can expect an angry Joshua Graham/Hanged Man?

 

Yep, Joshua is going to have his Hanged Man personality from Van Buren.

That mod sounds cool, I should play it later.

 

Do you have plans for talking raccoons? Born ghouls? Trogs?
