I wasn't sure which board to post this in, but since it is (semi)FOT-related, I posted it here

Most of you have played "Wasteland" before, right?? I have an inkling that FOT was based on that. Sure wasteland is an o.k game to play, but you do have to admidt, FOT is a combo of FO1 and Wasteland...

(beginning to be sarcastic...If you guys don't take sarcasm very well, you might as well skip ahead to the next topic)

Interplay, is this what you're down to doing now....recycling ideas from like 20 years ago? I wonder what the copy of FO1 will be like 15 years from now....(when the 99% of the population has an I.Q. of 15 in todays standards)

hmmmm...

(this is supposed to be the storyboards for the copy)

You are the home-dweller. You live in a bomb shelter. OOPS! you are running out of food and water... go get some more! Oh, now that you have it, go back home.

(end Cra-pay storyboard)

What will they come up with next?

[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Jan-04-01 AT 10:34AM (GMT)[p]Zuie, we all know about fo1, fo2 and now fo:tactics beeing the bastard childs of wasteland (they aren`t called wasteland games because EA got yhe licence for that, not interplay).
Try to check the archives here at NMA, you`ll find much more information about it.

I think Zuie has a valid point if you take the time to go read the Interplay forums. It seems most of the people on there either have never played Fallout, or they just want the game dumbed down to the point where it becomes a cheesy action game.

Hmmmmm, yes, that may be the case, but i didn`t understood zuie`s post as having anything to do with that. No doubt i must be mistaken, but maybe she could clear that.

RE: RE: Remarkable similarities

Actually, Saint_Proverbious pretty much got the jist of it...

I'm not accusing any one of anything, but you have to admidt...If Interplay deliberately made Wasteland and FOT alike, then they must have taken us for a bunch of Torrs...Thinking that loyal FO players wouldn't notice it at all...

Also, A lot of the "action" rpgs (i.e.-Quake, Half-life, ect.) are "very popular" with teenage and adult players. So, essentially, I think that it is possible that in order to boost profits, the developers changed it from that one person againt the world to a team of the BOS trying to do good (or whatever the storyline will be in the full version...).

I may be wrong about all of this, but then again to quote Mel Gibson for Conspiracy Theory, [font size=3 color=orange]

I thought that the reason FO:T has a team instead of a single person (as in previous FOs) was because of a desire to make a tactical team game.

I read somewhere that one of the designers (I think it was Chris Taylor, but don't quote me on that) was a big fan of the console game Final Fantasy Tactics, and that the team tactical design of Fallout Tactics was actually based on that.

Um...this begs the question of: "Do you know what's the difference between a FPS and an RPG?"

RE: RE: Remarkable similarities

O.k...Sorry it took me so long to reply. I was on vacation.

In response to your question, roshambo, yes. I am aware of the difference. A FPS is a first person shooter and an RPG is a role player game.

And the reason why I put Quake and half-life as RPGs is that a lot of people don't recognize them as FPS's and mis-classify them as "action" RPGs.

Um...WHO?!

Sorry, but I've been around quite well in the gaming scene, and I'm afraid what some Podunk editor calls something falsely doesn't cut it. Those games are quite FPS (first-person shooter). There are not RPG aspects in them WHATSOEVER.

I really would like to know where these gaming newbies reside. Not on any educated gamer's forum, I could tell. If someone called those games anything OTHER than a FPS at PCGR.com, they'd probably get laughed of the site.
