Why aren't we talking about this?

"Modiphius Entertainment, publisher of the Star Trek Adventures, Achtung! Cthulhu, Mutant Chronicles, Conan, Infinity and John Carter of Mars roleplaying games, is thrilled to announce today that Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, the first tabletop miniatures game based on the Fallout universe, is currently in development and is set to release November 2017.

In Fallout: Wasteland Warfare, players will build their own crew from a wide range of factions, allies and iconic characters from the Fallout series, and play in apocalyptic games of 3 - 30 high quality 32mm scale resin miniatures through a huge variety of iconic scenery and settlement buildings, from the Red Rocket to Sanctuary Hills, Nuka- Cola vending machines and wrecked vehicles. Settlements will include buildings, defenses and resources that impact the crew’s army list and abilities in the wasteland."

>>52927238
Most problems fallout 4 had don't translate to a tabletop wargame tho.
Basically only the powerarmor thing.
>>
>>52927216
We did talk about this, we had a thread hundreds of posts long talking about it.

I'm starting to believe the people who make accusations of forced viral marketing campaigns.
>>
>>52927216

1. They haven't released rules yet. If it doesn't play for shit, no real audience will emerge, the miniatures will just gather dust in people's cupboards.

2. They absolutely, 100% need to go beyond Fallout 4 for an engaged player base. New Vegas is a gold mine, 1 & 2 are bare minimum to be included.

3. How much do these miniatures cost? GWS screws this up and survives only because of the sunk cost fallacy, no other product line can price their miniatures like that and survive.
>>
>>52927216
If it doesn't suck I might play Minutemen, they're the only cool looking group in F4 besides the shit that was in the og (and ever then some of the re-designs make the og content shit)

Fallout is garbage-tier meme-setting, so this game is shit. Also, literally who ("Modiphius Entertainment") probably cannot into good rules.

They might not be able to do New Vegas stuff (people seem to forget Bethesda didn't make it). Depends on the Bethesda/Obsidian licensing agreement.

true but 1,2,3 still good to go i'd hope unless bethesda says no and if that was the case i'd turn down the whole thing because fallout 4 is the weakest of them all and making a thematic warband game out of that is not gonna work

Most of fallout 4s problems don't translate to tabletop games, most issues are in the roleplaying part and those don't matter in a wargame.

>>52928336
Is it the 'in' thing to shit on Fallout 4? What was so fucking bad about it? I thought it was a decent open world game.
>>
>>52928436
the story was lacking from what i know.
the level system is inferior and simplified
the combat is better so thats good
the dialogue system is fucked'
voiced main character is bad for releplaying
no karma system its HARD to be evil
some complained about the graphics being not on par etc but i dont care much about that.

and there where some smal changed that makes it "death by one thousand cuts"

seems to be more focus on base building then rpg elements, minutemen exists to make the game longer by having you do repetetive shit
>>
>>52928436
mostly because it's cut down on the roleplaying part a lot and had lore hickups.
If I'd rank the shooter-rpg fallout games It'd be like this:

>>
>>52927783
I mean, it wouldn't make much of a novel, but it's actually pretty perfect for a tabletop game. Established factions, lots of unique tech, and a cool aesthetic... that's pretty much exactly what you want.

Tabletop games often don't benefit from their fluff being too deep. It's just there to give a bit of context, really. A bit of meme and cliche can actually be super helpful when it comes to selling minis and getting people into a new game. A lot of veteran's first buys in a new range are along the lines of "I can use that to convert X in this other game I play". Likewise, for newbie's, it makes it faster to explain what's going on.
>>
>>52927216
>Why aren't we talking about this?
As for this, I think it comes down to "Oh, hey, look, ANOTHER 30mm skirmish game. How quaint."
>>
>>52928633
>established factions
Old Fallouts had a lot more of them and the only ones that are in the new ones but weren't in old are Minutemen, Railroad and the Institute Two former of which aren't really suitable for anything more than small skirmishes.
>>
>>52928675
TBF I haven't played the new one. But that's actually fine for a skirmisher. A lot of its competitors have the factions as "gangs" or "teams"... it works. Plus I'm sure they'll expand it to include more of the franchise.

There are only 6 or 7 Minutemen quests only

It wasn't a redone, reworked rehashed rehash based on Fallout 2 using the same mechanics with the same story in the same locations in the same time frame and the same factions doing the same thing for the same reasons to tell the same story with reskinned characters for the umpteenth time.

In short, it wasn't a No Mutants Allowed patch of Fallout 1 having the character bemoan the cruelty of humanity while squatting in burnt out ruins and trying to not shit himself to death while grubbing in radioactive mud for 10mm ammo, so it "wasn't a real Fallout game."

Honestly, were I in charge at Bethesda, I'd market a "Fallout Renewal" game package. Simply a repackaged Fallout 2 for Windows 10, in a box with new art, a complementary set of rose-tinted glasses, and a sixty dollar price tag. Then laugh all the way to the bank.

I actually found New Vegas to be extremely boring. Putting aside how a horde of salvers and rapists in football pads and swinging machetes are somehow a threat to men with guns, everything was so damned empty. Everything. The player spends more time wandering around a gray and tan dead zone than they do actually doing anything. Add in the hit-or-miss of the DLC and New Vegas just sort of blends together into a matte brown mass of missed opportunities and a single playthrough.

If you actually bothered to look into things, there are unique quests up the wazoo in every location. The map is emptier because 1. it's a fucking desert and 2. because people with brains try not to live 50 meters away from camps of raiders and mutants like in FO3 and 4.

>>52929171
Sure, Anon. Fallout's style and fluff are so much stupider than all the other tabletop sci-fi / fantasy / steampunk / whatever games out there.

Fluff for a tabletop game exists to provide lists of things, and motivations for those things to be pointed at each other - lists of factions, lists of units, lists of weapons, etc. Everything else is superfluous. Fallout land fills that need that just fine. It's not high art, but neither are its competition.

The writing was nice, but yes the item per square foot density was less than Fallout 3. This did not bother me due to the number of quests, and there was enough shit lying around to entertain me. The only thing I disliked was that they never had the time to actually do anything with the Legion. They have like 2 quests compared to NCR holy fuck.

Why did you enjoy Fallout 3? I found the writing physically painful enough to avoid all settlements, and it felt lazy. I mean
>hey look, super mutants are back!
>and DC is a desert now
>also Enclave and all the other factions you like!
>find the water chip before time runs out
Then they spent a couple hours scattering skeletons and ammo boxes around the world map and called it a day. As for the game mechanics, they're by and large unpolished. Enemies take exactly twice as long to kill as they should, perks do nothing (except Comprehension), and with Comprehension you can max out the skills, which do matter, with no effort.

I only played it for about 50 hours, which I consider insufficient for a full review, but it did not hold my interest like New Vegas has. New Vegas is largely Fallout 3 but if I liked it.

Dumb plot, nonsensical factions, boring environment and a severe lack of weapon variety.

You have fun shooting a bunch of stuff only to be interupted by people telling you to do nonsense, like the "good guys" who want you to mass murder scientists for building a nuclear reactor.
>>
>>52930135
Fallout 1: No matter what you may think, your character is always a Vault Dweller sent out to find a water chip.
Fallout 2: No matter what you think, you character is always a tribal out searching for some prewar tech to save your tribe.
Fallout Tactics: No matter what you may think, your character is always a local tithed to the Brotherhood for training in return for protection.
Fallout 3: No matter what you may think, your character is always a 19 year old kid chased out of his or her home and searching for your father.
Fallout 4: No matter what you may htink, your character is always a prewar Vault survivor that saw your spouse murdered and your son taken, you emerge from the Vault on a mission to find him.

I'm seeing two things. One is a trend in all Fallout games, the other is the general stupidity of people complaining about Fallout games.

They cut a lot of what made the dialogue and leveling systems in the previous games good. It's basically impossible to roleplay your character properly because of this.

Also the story just sucks. Fallout 3 at least had the excuse of incorporating the cliches for the first time in the series, Fallout 4 has no excuse for being as trite as it is.

As someone who played F1 on release and have been a fan since. New Vegas and F4 were the best.
This is an opinion untainted by nma cancer.

the difference is in fallout 4 you only get 4 responses to anything, and the answer is always "yeah sure i'll do that" or "i'll do it later"
see: the beginning quest in the museum with the minutemen
even if you say you won't help them, the quest still advances as if you had agreed to their plan
>>
>>52930263
Fallout 4 is certainly a generally better game than 3, but it's not without its massive, glaring faults.
>>
>>52930204
Didn't mention NV because the courier can be literally anyone? Didn't fit into your narrative?

Also that was not the point, in the other games you can at least shape your own character throughout dialogue and actions. In fallout 4 you can say "yes" to people. You can now go and be stupid somewhere else.

Actually it was less empty than Fallout 3, given how it had a shit ton more quests and more locations in a more compact map.

If you spend your time wandering emptiness in Fallout New Vegas, it's because you chose to wander around a racing course or a dried up lake, not because of the game.

Also Legion does carry guns.

is tactics even canon?

and given that the east coast was more fucked than the west coast i wouldn't mind more games set there

how many games can you really do in west coast when it's essentially rebuilt as of new vegas?
>>
>>52927216
So... the Tabletop skirmish game they released alongside Fallout: Tactics doesn't count as a tabletop minis game?
>>
>>52930873
Important events in Fallout Tactics are considered canon, according to Bethesda.

If I was Bethesda, Chicago wouldn't be a bad place to make Fallout 5. Already got a bit of lore going for it, you can world build even more.

West coast isn't solely California ya know. We got Oregon and Washington too. Hell, some guy is trying to make a mod representing that.

>>
>>52931509
Not him, but...
One thing is establishing a new franchise for normies, nobody would give a shit.
Another thing is taking an existing franchise so that people would jump on the wagon, dumb it down beyond recognition so that "it would appeal to a wider audience" (Read: 10 year olds that have an attention span of 7 seconds, don't like numbers and want to see brains splatter in slow mo xdXdxD ) and shitting all over the established lore while they're at it.

Let's take the objectively worst part of FO1&2, the combat, and build a game around that.
Funny how even Bethesda, who are hell bent on turning the whole franchise into a rebirth of tactics still didn't manage to make the combat good in FO4. Sure, it's a bit better than in 3 and NV, but it's still utter shit compared to even FPS games from 15 years ago.
>>
What makes fallout fun is your imagination.
You can forget your main quest.
The fun in these Bethesda games aren't what they make for you, it's what you make out of the pieces they give you, mods help.
I'd be fine spending 40 bucks for that, provided the pieces are good enough.
>>
>>52929900
When the bigger audience is 12 year olds for an M rated title since everyone knows those ratings mean nothing.
I think they can complain.
>>
>>52934411

Too bad Bethesda's Fallout worlds are so dull and lifeless.
>>
>>52934200
>Let's take the objectively worst part of FO1&2, the combat, and build a game around that.
FO1&2 were rpgs.
tactics is a tactics game as the name suggest. And a great one at that.
Might just be that you are more of a roleplayer...
>>
>>52935201
This
Especially FO4, there were so many places where I saw a nice location just for it to have a handful of raiders/ghouls/mutants and serve as a sandbox for the minecraft mechanics. As I couldn't give less of a shit about the settlements besides one home base, this was a real dissapointment. Bethesda has some real great world/level designers, but the writers fail to do anything meaningful with them. After spending some 30 hours in the game, I had figured out that absolutely every aspect of the game was shallow as fuck and that I had pretty much seen everything and couldn't be arsed to grind for the teleporter and uninstalled that piece of shit.
>>
>>52928127
Fallout as an IP is still absolutely, 100% now owned by Bethesda. There's nothing keeping them from its inclusion other than the two or three absolutely crazy people out there who think that New Vegas is trash garbage and Fallout 3 is some narrative pinnacle.
>>
>>52935981
I'm not faulting tactics for not having in-depth roleplaying, as you said that's not the point of it as it is a combat orientated spin-off, but I still think that the combat in it is really clunky and doesn't do the premise justice.
>>
>>52936125
Can you put that into context for me and give me an example of a game where you think the combat works better?
Cause in my mind it's one of the best games of it's kind out there.
Like X-com without the base building basically.

Anyway the only thing clunky about it were the oddities that came with the RNG imo, but it's in the nature of the thing really.
>>
>>52936125
Huh? It was a solid squad game. You could pull off some pretty operator stuff in the first few missions- encircling, flanking, chopping up crowds of raider scum with sneakiness and automatic AK fire. The combat was solid in most people's eyes... have you ever even played Tactics?
>>
>>52936208
Hard to think of a specific game, generally the biggest turn-off in (turn based) tactic games is the devilish RNG. But as for the clunkiness, Xenonauts (XCom remake) is probably a good comparison that I did enjoy. Played Tactics a bit a long while back and all I remember from it was that the combat didn't feel enjoyable.
>>
>>52928675
> only good for small skirmishes
Well good thing the game is marketed as a 3 to 30 model game... or skirmish.

>>52927216
Was discussed last week.

It's also still in the vaporware stage.

So many of these licensed wargames are: Shit, DoA, or never get beyond prototypes, that people stop caring until it's on the way to stores.

See Knight Model's Marvel Game and Prodoss AvP.

>>52930204
New Vegas: You're the mailman and you have been for a long time. Other then that you can think whatever you want.

That's why I'm annoyed personally. Bethesda didn't want to learn about what NV did well.
>>
>>52930682
The only SPECIAL loss that mattered was agility in the first games. Not like even that mattered since 2 Rad-X gives you 100% radiation resistance, which is just bad design.

>>
>>52930064

It's like you didn't play both of the games.

I would be perfectly happy with obsidian making another game with the same graphics if it meant it wasn't "call of fallout: Farmville" edition. Don't get me wrong, I love the enhanced gunplay, but the same 4 dialogue choices that usually end at the same place was highly fucking gay. You almost have no control over what is said and that's not role-playing at all.
>>
>>52931509

I would trade all of the video game acceptance in the world for better games.

I want a memory that will last me forever, not the next new thing.

I yearn for substance in an ever fake and unimaginative world.

And I hope you die for not understanding the agony of having your hobby become "acceptable" because of people that dont even appreciate these things.
>>
>>52942442
I bet you loved the removal of skills as well, because skills never really changed anything in the gameplay and were poorly implemented, right?
>>
>>52945011
depends on the skill. I like how each point put into lockpicking and hacking provides an immediate improvement for your ability to pick locks and hack. Instead of putting all your skill points from a level up into the skill and getting no difference.

I don't like how you have to get the ability to disarm people if you improve your melee skills to the maximum, making a sword fight never happen because you always knock the sword out of their hands near the start of the fight. Or how improving your sneak skill makes you ignore floor traps so gauntlets of traps become easy.

The removal of skills has the side effect of not letting you put 100 points into your main attack skill by level 5. Which I feel has some purpose. Though I wouldn't strictly say that's a good thing.

>B-bethesda is saving Fallout!

If they just didn't shit on the lore (including their own from FO3), turn the game into nonsense shooter with ultra-linear plot having grand total of 4 choices (which faction you side with), gutted all RPG elements and turned NPCs into waifu simulator, they could get a pass.

But they did all of those things and then some, so cry me a river how it's all nostalgia about old Fallouts. I've played through all Fallout games aside the PS2 one for the first time in 2014. What kind of nostalgia do I have? Please explain it to me.
Fallout 4 was shit. The plot was hot garbage, quests were a fucking joke, graphics were so-so and it was RPG in name only.

>>52944042
I think Michael Swain summed up Metal Gear best when he said, "They're shitting out plots like the 'creative' kid in third grade [while he's laughing / smiling at all the weird shit in MG5]... it's like a game made by a 3rd grader.. a GENIUS third grader." (paraphrasing from memory)
>>
>>52946669
Well Kojima has been trying to kill the franchise since forever, but the fans kept on wanting more. I think Kojima himself even said that a lot of the crazy plot twists and all was to keep the fans from wanting more.

So from what I can gather from this thread, people want from a skirmish mini game;
>base building
>campaign mode
>skirmish mode
>duel mode
>level up systems
Anything else?

>>52927216
Yeah, I'm not going to care unless we get high-quality Elder Scrolls miniatures.
Then I'll check it out. Unless it's based on the civil war from Skyrim.

guys the video game is bad therefore the tabletop completely unrelated to the development team that created the video game will also be bad

this completely makes sense
>>
>>52946821
Though this is mostly a sensible statement, the broken lore that Bethesda has shat out will still stick to the miniatures if it will be FO4 based.
