[img]http://www.cubeupload.com/files/952200indexmainbanner.png[/img] Fallout Online (formerly known as Project V13) was officially announced on June 15th 2010. Fallout Online is a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game that takes place in the Fallout universe. It is currently being developed by Interplay who have licensed the rights to develop from Bethesda. Hardcore Fallout fans of course know that Interplay are the makers of the original Fallout series (Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics). [b]Story[/b] As of right now nothing is known of the story. A timeline has not even been established nor has a location, all we can guess is that it will most likely be set somewhere in post apocalyptic America. [b]Mechanics[/b] Again, it is still too early to tell what is going to happen with the mechanics. However we can speculate on what will happen. Most people guess that the game will most likely be classes and use the [url=http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/SPECIAL]SPECIAL[/url] system. There is no news on playable races or leveling system. The only playable race we know of right now from [b][u]old[/u][/b] screenshots is of course human. No form of currency has been confirmed either. All we can do is speculate that the currency is caps. The only thing we are sure of mechanics wise is that the engine is the same one being used in [url=http://www.play-earthrise.com/]Earthrise[/url]. [b]Media[/b] Keep in mind these are old screenshots that were taken a few [u]years[/u] ago. Do not make any assumptions, a lot could have changed.

I am quite sure that media is at least year old

Interplay is making it? I was hoping Bethesda would.
[QUOTE=Deac;22775011]Interplay is making it? I was hoping Bethesda would.[/QUOTE] I'm tired of Bethesda's engine
I'm glad interplay are making it, they made the best fallouts. also signed up to this a few days ago, no reply [editline]04:43PM[/editline] hopefully soon they will
I'm sure Interplay will make it great, but I also hope that Bethesda helps with the voice acting.
I'm looking forward to this a lot. I love Fallout and I've been looking for a good MMO (I played the WoW trial and didn't much care for it) for a while now. I've got high hopes, and they'd better not screw it up!
I showed this to my Fallout-obsessed friend. He came.
wow this died quick
Well that's because not much info has been released to make anybody excited about it.
I registered for Beta though. Site is so slow.
Kind of surprised how dead this thread is, would expect it to blow up at a fallout mmo...
I want guild housing/bases. I could see them doing it.
[QUOTE=Jack_Thompson;22980582]I want guild housing/bases. I could see them doing it.[/QUOTE] I would hope that with your guild you could make some sort of wasteland settlement, like the Republic of Dave.
It probably wasn`t a good idea for interplay to make a website for it while the lawsuit is going on.
That would be pretty awesome, but I think the only way they could really implement that for all the guilds is either A. Make it really, really, really expensive, so only a few guilds per server can get it, B. Make it really difficult to get, or C. Instance off each settlement.

[QUOTE=Jack_Thompson;22980851]1:1 sized american and european wastelands please :aaaaa:[/QUOTE] Was thinking that it would be awesome to travel around a portion of the east coast, then boat over to Europe and travel a few countries there.
[QUOTE=Pie108;22778758]but I also hope that Bethesda helps with the voice acting.[/QUOTE] Hahahaha.
Finally, a real Fallout MMO. That russian made one based off of FO2 is such shit.
My only problem with the whole wasteland theme is that idea-guys instantly think that means you just put huge amounts of sand in between areas of interest. The wasteland should be ALIVE.
[QUOTE=ghosevil;23021889]My only problem with the whole wasteland theme is that idea-guys instantly think that means you just put huge amounts of sand in between areas of interest.

[QUOTE=Deac;23022888]how it should be "alive".[/QUOTE] Mosses, grasses, shrubbery, trees, etc. Think about Fallout 3, how the hell did the ecosystem support giant molerats and such? For their size, they'd have to have low metabolic rates or be actively eating. Given that they're running around attacking people I'd say probably the second. But wait, not every creature in the environment can be a tertiary consumer.
interplay made horrible fallouts what are you talking about ie they made fallout: brotherhood of steel, that shitty xbox game black isle studios made fallout 1 and 2
Can't wait for this to come out. Speaking of which, another isometric Fallout game should be made soon.
They sent a teaser to everyone that applyied for the beta, check your emails (or spam folders, mine was sent there somehow).
Signed up for like a month ago... hope beta is realased soon
Here's the teaser they sent, for anyone who hasn't signed up yet: [quote]There are many stories and many more tall tales about life in the wastelands, this is one of them...
