I'd say it's supposed to be T-60, but there parts of it that look slightly different.
Judging from Todd's games knowing as much or more than him hardly qualifies you as an expert I ain't gonna lie
It wasn't, 2277 is the "Fall of Shady Sands" then the next event, which is conveniently left ambigous, is Shady Sands being nuked. But there are other massive retcons.
Fallout 3 was just too mind blowing back then, so the avalanche of new fans easily outnumbered unsatisfied old fans.
You could say the same thing about Star wars OT fans and Prequel Trilogy, which I understand and support sometimes. Sequel trilogy is like this Fallout TV show, they're not bad products, watchable, but lore, setting and story is fucked.
Only if you were a baby. Getting mindblown by Fallout 3 when the game looked worse than some Gamecube games and played worse than the original Doom is hilarious.
I guess people had low standarts back then, but it certainly was a hit, if it got GOTY.
Like that matters.
Well whatever it is it looks dumb and I hate it. T-51b has always been the better design.
The only award that counts is the KWABOTY Todd got when he made his sad face at the game awards when he thought Starfield was gonna win.
I was, in fact! It's not nice to judge a book by it's green tinted grey rocks. You all act like the original games were graphical eye-candy. They looked old when they came out, although I can't deny the style and aesthetic choices. The fact that some of us youngsters can go back in time and enjoy your glorified point-and-click pixelated adventure games speaks to the fact that graphics alone aren't the judge of a game's merit. We just value game features on a different scale. No matter how much world building you put into a top-down turn-based pixel adventure, I'll still value a third-person game more because it's inherently easier for me to get absorbed into. If visual immersion didn't matter you guys never would have put GURPS down to play the first Fallout.
That won't stop them from using Graham, he'll probably even be scar free and without bandages. Because we gotta see that recognizable actors face. He'll probably never even bring up tribals.
I'd say that's more from being spoiled with modern graphics, as that's usually a big reason why a lot of Bethesda Fallout Fans knock on Fallout/2. I was born in the 90's and while I never experienced the originals until 2011, I was still able to get engrossed in the originals, more so than 3 and later 4. Funnily enough, I have the uncanny ability to experience a game as if I were still a part of the time period it was released in; tempering my expectations.
Todd Howard: Jonathan Nolan came up to us and said what if the Scorched Plague killed everyone in New Vegas? Wouldn't that be interesting? A completely random event that invalidates a Fallout video game Bethesda didn't make, sign me the hell up.
