Fallout SoA?

It seems the new game that Silver-Style, the ones behind Soldiers of Anarchy, is doing is not only inspired by Fallout, but very much post-apocalyptic. Here's what Carsten Strehse (Lead Designer) posted on the SoA boards:<blockquote>Q: Will this game take place in the same world setting as SOA? (in the future)

A: Future yes, same time no. The setting is more far away in the future, but mankind was thrown backwards for hundreds of years because of a catastrophe. The scenario mixes modern and even some futuristic technique and weapons with a very poor lifestyle. No electricity, nearly nothing to eat but rats and insects and incredible storms on the earth's surface, which had already blown away the most biggest towns in the US. The world the player is living in is more dangerous than the one of SOA. People are living in enclaves with palisades made out of cars, trucks or tires. They have flamethrowers on their roofs and barwire around their houses. Everybody tries to protect himself against the brutality going on.</blockquote>And here is a follow-up answer:<blockquote>Mutants yes. But very special ones and different to the ones in Fallout.

Generally I have to say that we all love Fallout 1 + 2. Personally it's one of my favourite games. Also SOA was inspired by these milestones of computer gaming history. If you want to, our new game can be described as a 3D Fallout with the best elements of SOA and a new, really amazing battle system.</blockquote>3D Fallout ?!hmm....Thanks to Slaugther from UfoAftermath.co.uk (ok it's a little old news, but anyways....news is slow...)

Well, I think the reason so many didn't like Tactics was because it was Fallout. Well, this isn't, so I think it will be fun! :D
 
Tactical games are really good, if done good! X-Com 2 was good, JA 1+2 was good.. Silent Storm seems incredible..
 
You didn't like X-Com 1? And yes, they are indeed! Silent Storm is beautiful! Looking forwards to that babe! :D What do you think about UFO:Aftermath then?
 
X-Com 1 was good, but a little out of date when I tried it for the first time.

Ufo:Aftermath, hmm..don't like the way they've decided to handle combat. Other than that it looks ok,I don't think the graphics is that impressive compared to what's out there. But I'm going to try it out..
 
Know what you mean, I was outraged when I first learnt that they had abandoned turn-based. But as it turns out, everyone is saying good things about the "new" system, so I guess we should give it a chance. Takes some getting used to from what I hear though...

And the graphics get mixed pre/reviews. Most people are positive to it though. I mean, it's not Doom 3, but then again, it isn't a FPS either. Guess we'll see in about a week :D
 
Heh, description I've read in the news reminds me game "Dark Earth". Well, there is post apocaliptic world, kinda different mutants, people trying protect themselfs by building palisades. Not much tactics there tho. :D

Just some thoughts to share. :D
 
Hi guys!

Just wanted to let you know that our new game will be a true RPG. 6 Attributes, 14 Skills, more than 1000 NPCs, more than 150 subquests and a really great post-apocalyptic story.
However, one focus of the game are the tactical battles. If you take a look at other 3D RPGs the battles are often the weakest point. We decided to change that. :)

The title + website will be released not until next week, but if you have any questions I would be glad to answer them on this board.
 
Welcome to our boards Carsten! Good of you to join us..
