      You gave nice idea for Fallout, vault 384 (average distance between earth and moon, in kilometres) build beneath surface on the moon. In this alternate USA new missions were sent to moon to inflate NASA budget and beat China, somehow. Player leaves failing vault and goes around the moon seeing abandoned bases with insane astronauts and robots. With full hopes hero reaches one last shuttle but finds out that nuclear war happened and there is nothing to return to.

      Amnesia: The Bunker basically follows the "Looking Glass" and "Troika" principles but condensed those down to a relatively short "System Shock/Vampire Bloodlines"-esque Horror experience. I'd imagine that a 3D Horror game made by Tim could accomplish many of the same things. Would love to see what he would come up with but can highly recommend The Bunker nonetheless.

    It's so interesting to hear you talk about your time with Troika. I wasn't doing any gaming in the period where games by Troika were taking off, so I only picked up Arcanum and Bloodlines in the 2020s. And even this much later on and with no awareness of how it played back then, I could see how much of a labour of love they represented. It feels oddly comforting that these games which "speak" so impactfully came during a period that you talk about with so much energy looking back on.

    • @tehf00n
      @tehf00n 3 дні тому +7

      Bloodlines was a real mess at the time. There was a game breaking bug at the end of the first zone and if you didn't have internet you couldn't get it patched. Eventually the community made a really good set of fixes for the game that became mandatory to play it properly. But even though that happened, the love for Troika at the time from the public was immense and I think we were all sad to see them fold.

    So it comes down to the pitch containing something new and fresh of significance.
    So if Tim were to return to Fallout, off the top of my head:
    -He’d be working in Bethesda’s Creation Engine for the first time
    -It would be his first 3D Fallout game, and a chance to have an intimate look at just how far the series has come since he’d started it
    -No crunch time like Fallout 1 & 2-presumably, knowing how Bethesda likes to operate and how hands off Microsoft is, Tim would have all the time in the world to make a Fallout game just the way he’d like it
    -Depending on the setting and how far the timeline moves forward, its genre could be less post-apocalyptic and a little more “rebuilding” i.e post post-apocalypse
    -Building off the second point, it could prove an interesting experience to work on a triple A ip as large as Fallout-what with the TV show and all the supplemental material like the tabletop games, how would he go about navigating the game without creatively impeding others working on Fallout projects and the other way around; how to work together to keep things in sync. Could prove a challenge, but maybe the fun kind. To work with different people outside of the games to create something bigger than the game itself.
    -And building off that last point, working on a new Fallout game is also an opportunity to work on the TV show. We know that Bethesda and Amazon worked very closely together to make sure everything was up to standard, and perhaps Tim would be interested in assisting in and/or working on the TV show i.e an opportunity to try something he hasn’t

    That's interesting. I was expecting something about whether or not there was more story to tell in that world and about how much freedom he had to tell his story. That's the typical answer anyway. Instead, it's "what would I get out of it?" That's a brutally honest answer, but perfectly valid. Artists are driven to create, and when that drive isn't there (whatever the motivation is), it can be soul sucking to force it.

My mother was in the store which I guess the cashier took for approval - pretty sure it was an R rated game in New Zealand! Fallout, Arcanum and Vampire are in my top 5 all time RPGs, the other 2 being Deus Ex and Gothic 2. I always felt your games were so ambitious - Arcanum for example, so many mechanics.

    Hi Tim, I love this response, and it's great to see how you've been able to have this philosophy in your career. IMO, the gaming industry needs more people with this mindset, so it doesn't stagnate! With that, as far as with you working on a Fallout game again, one of the things I've been saying for years that would make Fallout fresh again is to introduce more character types to play. How amazing would it be to play as a Ghoul, Robobrain, Synth, or a Supermutant? The Fallout world offers so much opportunity for player choice and expression, so being able to have different character types even further expands that. Now, that would be a good Fallout game, one with meaningful and impactful player choice!

    I seem to remember you mentioning (in an interview I think) that you had an idea for a Fallout game, one you didn't want to tell us about so that if a similar game releases you know it's a coincidence. Would you want to work on that if given the chance? Is it something different and interesting?

    I understand your comment regarding not knowing an engine until you make something with it. I'm not a game designer, never wanted to be one. But there have been some mods for Fallout 4 that I wanted, no one had made them, so I decided to do it myself. Well, not really full blown mods, but more like tweaks. Since Bethesda had included the Creation Kit with my Fallout 4 GOTY, I dove in to see what I could do. I found an awesome tutorial on how to do what I wanted to do and I got it done! But that is one intimidating piece of software! I've been using computers since October 1979, as a programmer, for entertainment, business and even as a CG artist. I've used a lot of software in my time. But the Creation Kit is number one for sheer intimidation and learning curve.

    I so badly want a sequel to New Vegas taking place in Nevada or Arizona. Using Fallout 4's engine or better but with New Vegas quality dialogue and storyline writing. I don't remember the last game I pre-ordered, but I'd pre-order that game immediately if I could.
    I'd also take a remake of New Vegas in Fallout 4's engine or better, with all the same writing.

I love hearing your experiences after working on so many games :D I do have 3 questions: if a fallout game was given to you with no specific plans and you were able to do ANYTHING you wanted to it, from setting and art style to gameplay functions, would you take the opportunity because you would have room to try something new? are there any aspects of game developement that you haven't done yet but are interested in trying? and finally, do you think there will ever be a point in your career where you truly have tried everything that you wanted to?

Fallout 1, played it an absurd amount. arcanum i fell in love with that universe and all the weird kinks, the magic the tech, lots of bugs, but it was worth it, and then vampire: bloodlines which i regard as the best rpg ever made, No one game comes even close to the feel, the mood, the dialog, quest lines, sad the ending was battle heavy, but otherwise a master piece.

    Personally I'd love to see you work on a spin-off Fallout game, in the isometric perspective. Basically what they did with Wasteland 2/3 but improved obviously. What's new? I think hearing your ideas and giving you freedom with the project would be a lot more interesting than what any business CEO would dictate honestly. A throw-back to the classic formula is what OG fans want to see. But thinking about it now, I did see a very interesting take on the classic Fallout combat style. The guy(s) working on Project Van Buren released video of an original game inspired by Fallout called New Bloods. What stood out to me was the combat system. Exploration was done from the isometric perspective, but when combat happens, it switches to a first person perspective with turn based combat and honestly it looks amazing. I'd love to see a Fallout game with a spin on the combat style like that!

So I decided to pick up the latest rendition of that game, it had wacky aliens in it, but with the 3 hours of playtime I had, it felt like the sequence of using your ship was perfected. Oh yes! just found it was STAR CONTROL! I felt IMMERSED , and the spaceship fight I was in had everyone in Discord rooting for me. So if you can maybe throw this in a DLC! - Thomas

    Something new?
    How about playing as a super mutant?
    If first person, you could even subvert the standard Bethesda "Out of the vault" opening by not showing the player, but having the viewport slightly higher than a human's.
    The reveal could be really cool, like maybe wandering into a farm area of the vault as in the TV series, but all the "people" tending crops are super mutants.
    There could be some lovely twisty story turns too, like what if you discover at one point that you're actually the original vault dweller from the first game and the "dip" ending was canon?
    And storylines such as scientists (Enclave? Brainy super mutants in the vault you wake up in?) possibly fixing FEV so super mutants are viable after all, then choosing what to do with that knowledge.
    Do you turn on you supermutant brethren and destroy all knowledge of it?
    Do you go all-in and embrace it, and then go on missions to stop the humans fighting back?
    Do you just decide "Screw it!", wander into the wasteland and take control of a band of raiders?

    • @ZiddersRooFurry
      @ZiddersRooFurry 3 дні тому +18

      Fun fact-the Mona Lisa wasn't remembered until it was stolen. Da Vinci painted it in 1507 and until it was stolen in 1911 it remained a relatively unknown commission he did that took him well over a decade to finish. In the 1860's art critics began to recognize it as a masterpiece but it wasn't well-known outside of their small circle. In 1911 three handymen stole it from the Louvre and overnight its theft became an international sensation. From that point on its fame and popularity began to spread, and when it was recovered twenty-eight months later officials at the museum-sensing an opportunity-began to play it up as a great national treasure. It's only became more well-regarded and popular since.
