FOnline 2238

They're also making a new online Fallout. Check it out here.

I've never liked the look of the old Fallouts. Look like Runescape. But if they weren't such bad games I would play them just to know more about the Fallout universe and the background of factions such as the Enclave and NCR.

I'm a little skeptical about how well a Fallout MMO would go. It doesn't really have the traits of a successful MMO. I mean, sure, you can even shimmy different races in there with Humans, Ghouls, and Super Mutants, but MMOs have terrible storytelling. Even MMOs which set out with storytelling in mind like Guild Wars fall somewhat short. It's really just a symptom of the old systems in which storytelling is done which conditions us that the story doesn't really matter, just go kill those 10 rats and come back. It would really be doing the Fallout universe a detriment to make that kind of game and I don't think Interplay is in any position to innovate at all.

My face when people say the new fallouts are better than the old ones because of the graphics
I don't quite like the idea of a Fallout MMORPG ...especially one being developed by a Bulgarian studio..

Well, to keep the My Name is Earl trend going, this is my face whenever I play the old Fallouts and get ambushed by 5 Mantises that kill me:



It's really a game for another generation. Sure, you can explore so much on that 2D map and the story is really deep, but honestly I don't want to walk up to something and read "The computer is broken." anymore; I want to see a broken computer because we can present a clearly broken computer in this day and age. The engine just can't do that. For this reason, I prefer the new Fallouts. They're more fun to me because I grew up looking at broken computers rather than reading about them.
