Fallout 76 Wastelanders new trailer

Fallout 76 is about to become the game that it always should have been. Yeah, it took a while. And yeah, it should have been like this from the start, even though I personally do find a certain appeal in the surreal aesthetic of transitioning from a world full of corpses with tales to mutely tell to one filled with living, breathing characters (I left the West Virginia wasteland six months ago, and am about to return). Anyhoo. Wastelanders is a freakin' huge (free!) update. It adds fully voiced NPCs galore all over the map, a new main questline, locations, enemies, weapons, a whole new reputation system, and a bunch more. All it needs now is VR implementation, and we're good. ;) The update arrives on the 14th.

Me, about to get busy in West Virginia:

The trailer:

Mr. Denver:

Wow. You could really see that "16 times the detail" in that trailer.

Still another shitty fallout game, Bethesda are a terrible developer!

@madrocketeer: Indeed.

From my experience there are only two kind of people who play this game. The min/maxers and people who don't use mic and only want to solo a multiplayer game.

@vagrantsnow: Because, ya know, there couldn't possibly be someone out there that has a few online buddies they team up with.

Couldn't possibly be.

Why anyone would buy into this dumpster fire of a game now after everything it has been through is beyond me. The fact that this update is free is probably the only redeeming factor in all of this, even if the new content launches without the same flaming landfill's worth of garbage that the original launch had, Bethesda games just feel so antiquated at this point, so many games are doing open world and/or RPGs better.

@Vaasman: Well, I dunno, dude. I guess some people just like to play certain games you don't like. Fancy that.

I never played the game due to it just not appealing to me, but this does appear much better than what they released at launch.

The trailer does look pretty freakin' good. And from what they say they're adding, it just about covers what most fans were asking for.

But this is Bethesda, after all. In other words, we'll just have to wait and see if it delivers.

**fingers crossed**

Say what you want about f76 but that trailer makes it seem like game to buy , a shame the actually gameplay is not up to the standard of the trailer

I think Fallout would have worked better in MP as a more linear affair akin to what Valve/Gearbox did with Decay and Portal 2.

Small Dues Ex sized hubs with instances, some RPG decision making with 2 players. And a good developer (e.g. Obisidan).

Prob would have been 100 times better than this shit.

To be honest, an online Fallout game would have been fantastic. Bethesda just screwed it up beautifully. My issue with them unlike Siege is that a lot of the updates have made the game even worse. They're not listening to their fans. I played it a couple of hours and was just disappointed. As a single player experience, it's rotten. As a multiplayer one, as well.

Cant f'n wait! World changing DLC... this game is miles from the original launch and has the best wasteland in series. I can only imaging how much it will grow in another year.

Ever upwards...

Let's hope they do a Final fantasy XIV with this one, but i kinda lost all my hope in fallout 76.

@virusvaccine21: You might change your mind after this update. They're drastically altering the game. Most of everything added by Wastelanders has been specifically requested by the fanbase. We'll see how it all works out, but I'm hopeful. Underneath all the issues, there's a great game here.

ill give it a try it will probably still suck.

Sounds like their problem then.

Nope.

@Vaasman: I'd argue it was the other way around. And I'm pretty sure they would too.

I thought they had taken that game behind the barn and put a bullet in its skull lol.

It’s still going.

This garbage game still alive?

On one hand it’s nice that they kept working on it however on the other hand it would be nice if these companies would release these games when they’re ready and in a competent form. My interest in this game has come and gone and with so much else coming in on the horizon I doubt if I’ll ever get interested in it enough again to want to pick it up and jump in.

@Juub1990: Yep still going. There's a big dedicated community too. Despite all the hate the fanbase keeps playing.

Not sure if Bethesda knows what it wants with this game (other than you paying them for the likes of Fallout 1st)

They were surprised that Fallout players want Fallout in their game.

I think this needs to be posted here for the 1-2 person who hasn't seen it yet.

That trailer makes me want to play it. WV setting looks awesome. I'll have to wait and see on this.

They traversed through the existential anus and now they tell me they came out clean? There may be a limit to how much you can screw people over before trying to make things right don't work no more.

It's not healthy to hold a grudge... but this better be a damn sweet deal. For me they're done same as Blizzard is done.

Did I just see a Super Mutant?

Why is there a super mutant in there?

You're welcome to be wrong that's fine.

Yes, yes you did.

Yes, yes there was.

If Wastelanders royally effs up I'm probably going to call it quits. That being said, it does look good in the trailer, and sounds good on paper, so we'll see.

Or they could just give us a huge playground to blow sh_t up in, and build elaborate traps for unsuspecting real-world players to comically fall into, among other delights. Which is what they did, essentially. Though Wastelanders appears to be veering the game into a more traditional Fallout direction.

Sorry, dude. I don't share your weird obsession with Todd.

That is just a massive slap in the face to the lore.

The Master was just beginning to create his super mutant army. During the time Fallout 76 takes place. It feels like they added Super Mutants without any regard for the worldbuilding.

Is it a remaster of a 360 game?

Could be interesting.

@Maroxad: West Virginia is the freakin' twilight zone, dude. Both in real life and FO. Just gotta role with it.

As someone who cares about the lore/worldbuilding. I would rather not. Those super mutants were clearly there for the sake of marketing rather than thinking if it makes any actual sense. Same reasons Bethesda kept spewing out the same FO1 and 2 creatures everywhere despite them having no reason of being outside california.

@Maroxad: Well, cool. You don't like the twilight zone: So stay out of it. Easy, right?

I'm a huge Bethesda fan but the character models and animations are laughably bad in 2020.

Such an ironic name.

Bethesda is radioactive, and basically kills anything it touches.

Bethesda had their chance and blew it. I'm not going back this long after they blew it to reward them for bad behavior. Devs have to earn my money, I don't just hand it out to play a crap game that should've had NPC's in the first place.

@subspecies: I'm glad you agree.

Yes. We are all islands unto ourselves.

I feel bad for the Bethesda employees made to work on this free DLC. There can't be much passion left for this project. The only reason anyone would be hyping this is because FO76 is so desperately short on content.
