Would you play a fallout set in a foreign country? If so, what

Brazil

Australia

USSR/China. If not that, then somewhere in Europe

Fallout: Resource Wars is a hypothetical Fallout spin-off mentioned several times by Van Buren (canceled Fallout 3) and Fallout: New Vegas lead designer J.E. Sawyer as something he'd like to make at various points, both when he worked at Black Isle Studios and recently when working at Obsidian Entertainment.

It would be a game set in the Fallout world's Europe during the Euro-Middle Eastern war that took place there around the 2050s. Focused on team-based multiplayer, the gameplay would be a blend of Motocross Madness pacing, Battlefield: 1942 foot and vehicle combat, and slightly longer-than-CS duration rounds. A salvaging element would be included giving the player the choice of either repairing damaged vehicles/weapons for use in the next round, or scrapping them for parts.

The plot would involve a crew of soldiers from the Royal Armoured Corps, who become stranded in a war-torn anarchistic northern Italy, and have to fight their way to the English Channel in quickly degrading vehicles, while scavenging for replacements, fuel, and weapons as they go.

England or maybe France. Or Romania for ghouls larping as vampires.

Sawyer is a fucking retard who needs someone to keep his bullshit in check

Japan.
There should be several martial arts and sword fighting styles so you can kill enemies armed with nothing but a Katana in style.

Every Fallout game is set in a foreign country.

Yeah sure, anywhere. I'm kinda bored by the 50s parody US theme at this point.

>>388127383

everything except America looks like the dark side of the moon.

Europe and Africa were already a pile of ash before the whole war in 2077 broke out.

The only Country that survived the nuclear holocaust was turkey

China would probably be the most obvious choice.

>>388127383
But it already is

>>388128021
Just because everything got fucked up doesn't mean it's literally just one big saturated blast zone.

>>388127887
That's Chinese you fucking ignorant gaijin.
Japanese can't pronounce "ng" like ching chong.
It would sound like "chingu chongu"

>>388128112

yes it does, it was clearly stated by the Black Isle goys that only America survived because of the Vaults (which Bethesda ruined, but we won't talk about it)

>>388128382
>America only survived because of the Vaults
>Fallout 1 is full of groups that didn't come from a Vault

Yeah, nah, you're full of it

>>388127383
Poland

>>388128382
>No one else on the entire planet thought about bomb shelters

Come on, man, that shit is disingenuous at best. The UK would probably be fucking riddled with bomb shelters, Russia would have it's own shit, and China abso-fuckin-lutely came up with it's own Vault system during the War. There'd just be no way in-game to confirm any of that, as communications are shit and whatever is left of the world is in absolute chaos.

A Fallout-ripoff in China might be neat, but it'd probably be more like a zombie simulator.

post Muslim Sweden

Soviet Union or China is clearly the way to go.

>>388127383
Britain, with all that Dan Dare/Thunderbirds shit the Fallout timeline implies

but all of them are from either a vault or a military "vault"

Japan/china

>>388127669
>>388128024
China is a glowing crater

Futuristic showa era Japan(instead of 1950's/60's USA) would be dope as fuck

Post-apocalyptic Mexico bordering Texas.

>Would you play a fallout set in a foreign country?
Hand development over to Obsidian, and sure.

>If so, what country would you like to see the most?
We've already seen a post-apocalyptic interpretation of Russia with STALKER, so maybe something set in China. The story might focus on democratic factions attempting to destroy communist-sympathetic nationalists or whatever remains of the Chinese government at that point.

>>388128382
>which Bethesda ruined

America being the only country to survive at all is fucking stupid. Changes aren't always bad, and changing it so that there are pockets of humanity outside of America isn't bad at all.

>>388129254
You're pretty dense. The point is that racist people can't tell the difference between Asian languages. You just reinforced the punchline of the joke.

>>388129069
The retrofuturistic atomic positivity gone wrong stuff. Britain had their own corny 50s pulp scifi

>>388127383
china or asia or SIngapore
Massive cities, giant buildings!

Yeah I want a Fallout game set in post-apocalyptic India. And then a Red Dead game that takes place in Reconquista-era Spain. And while we're at it, Icewind Dale reimagined as a space opera

>>388130041
Maybe I should have reinforced your mom's bed instead, she wouldn't have to buy a new one now.

>>388128810
Or Canada which was annexed by the US. It would be nice to see snowy enviroments and Canadian humor.

Canada or Mexico

china is the obvious choice

>>388129408
So was DC, but that didn't prevent them from making a game about it.

>>388131183
Fair enough, though in Bethesda's canon china's crater status is still visible as shown in the idiotic mothership zeta.

>>388127794
I like the concept though.
Especially if you can autismally customize your fleet of vehicles.
Like, the enemy has dropped some guns but you don't have much use for them? Slap them on a truck as a mounted weapon so you can conserve your normal ammo a bit

>>388131354
You got me on that one. I wonder if they'll ever do Fallout on the moon, that's stupid enough to make sales. I'll bet someone's thought of that before.

Keep buying things for my mom you beta orbiter

fallout satirizes 50's american optimism and supremacy so much so that if it were set in a foreign country it would no longer be fallout.

>>388133749
Yeah while I was playing New Vegas I was constantly aware of the series' roots in 50's Americana and pulp sci-fi, at no point could it have been the post-post-apocalyptic future of any other kind of America, nor would it have ever worked in any other culture on the planet because gambling and fighting over resources doesn't happen anywhere else on Earth

You're being sarcastic but that was one of my biggest problems with New Vegas. There was no real distinct character: it just felt like wannabe-Leibowitz.

>>388130335
This. When will retards learn that Fallout is specifically based off of 50's Americana, and loses its identity when you take it out of the USA?

>>388133238

I think van buren also had a retarded twist that it was ayys who started the war too.

>>388134927
>it's 50's America!
>with a heap of Mad Max thrown in for good measure

Yeah. It would be completely ruined without the American part. Completely.

>>388127383

I agree it's very noticeable in New Vegas.
Benny is like a caricature of the rat pack era

>>388136405
>one example
That's my argument defeated, no doubt about that

The world and lore is interesting, so another country would be a great way to have some new factions and ignore the old ones.

Somewhere in Europe would be good. Still West but far from america

>>388131183
The only way to do a china game would be to make everyone a ghoul. Can you imagine how annoying chinese ghouls would sound, with the croaky voices and thick accents?

On that note, why do irish accented people exist in the Bethesda's fallout's?

Fallout: Africa.

>>388127383
No, Fallout is an iconic American thing, it wouldn't work without the American overtones of capitism etc.

A Fallout set outside of America wouldn't be a Fallout game, it would also ruin some of the mystery of what happened to the rest of the world, which would be shit.

>>388135401
Britain would have most likely reformed by now in the Fallout universe. It's too small a country to not be. That said, Bethesda loves to forget how fast westernized people tend to rebuild things.

Russia is has already been done with the Metro series.

>>388136671
you're not even trying

Just think what a fallout game set in a non US country entails. Even fallout boy you know the mascot of the entire series wouldn't work cause it's based on US government propaganda and bla bla bla

>>388137656
So you don't actually have any non-Benny examples of 50's Americana being the focal point of New Vegas?

Okay, you just had to say

>Would you play a fallout set in a foreign country?
No. The furthest I would be willing to go is annexed Canada or Mexico.

Start up a new Post-Apocalyptic IP if you want to explore the rest of the world. There's room for more than Fallout.

>>388137656
The American part is central but I think enough world building has happened for there to be a foreign location.

Would have to be a full spin off rather than a mainline fallout

Just make a Road Warrior game. No nukes, just the collapse of society because of a dumb resource war elsewhere in the world.

>>388130335
>icewind dale as a space opera

You know it'd be fucking amazing

I imagine Japan in 2077 or so would be like the way the US is in 2161 in the Fallout universe. So have a game set in Japan and have it based on 1940s imperial Japanese propoganda and themes. Would be pretty neat. Just don't insert anime in it for no reason.

Mod for hand textures in first-person? I hate having dragonscale skin.

There's enough variation in america for there to be other places to pick before we scrap the bottom of the barrel for other countries.

There's Baja some mexican place the NCR is in. Also Hawaii. Think about something akin to Water World, with floating cities, underwater caves, and the search for habitable land.

Canada might be fun. Frozen wastelands are never done because most game companies are in Canada and they don't realise that most of the world is fascinated by snow.

In New Vegas, I mean.

>>388127383
literally no, a fallout game set somewhere else wouldn't be fallout at all. One of the big core themes of the old (and good) fallout games was having this horrific wasteland contrasted by nostalgic Americana and pop culture, so if you set it literally anywhere else but North America you'd lose one of the most basic and core Fallout aesthetics

It's great to think how a fallout game would work in another country but alot of the charm of fallout lies with it's theming of 50's America meets Mad Max. Going to a different country you would have to sacrifice VaultTec, power armour, all of the existing factions and tribes, the weapons, the enviroment, ect, ect.

In the end you're stuck with pretty much an entirely new game with maybe some of the existing themes the series is known for (War never changes, humanities greed and the ethics of a post-apocalypse.)

>>388138509
Your map is utterly wrong.

>>388139067
You know, MGS4 played with that 'war never changes' motif by turning it on its head and saying that war has changed. Maybe FO5 could do that.

>>388137252
We already know that Ireland survived.

>>388128183
>>388129254
The comic gets it right then, you moron. The cat is correctly imitating what chinese speech sounds like.

>>388139385
Fallouts message is that violence and war is an aspect of humanity which will always exist and never stop until we're all dead.

MGS4's message is that the methods of war have changed as it is now without purpose or for ideals, only for profit.

Both don't contradict each other unless you read them literally. Remove that message from Fallout and you might as well be playing Havest Moon.

>>388139196

>>388134727
>Yeah while I was playing New Vegas I was constantly aware of the series' roots in 50's Americana and pulp sci-fi

You're being sarcastic but also somehow ruining your own argument as this is absolute the truth. In New Vegas you literally help a robotic sheriff in a cowboy hat become the marshal of a small frontier town, and the entire Vegas strip is a series of caricatures of 1950s mobsters and rat pack culture

The entirety of New Vegas is absolutely embedded in the US, there's literally a group of cowboys and wranglers that work for the government, an entire gang of Elvis impersonators and fucking Howard Hughes in a robot bed.

Even the design of the robots are a direct riff of 50s era B movies

If you set Fallout somewhere else you'd be removing the shit that helped make it Fallout and would be making another generic post apocalyptic game.

Fallout is so intrinsically tied to 1950's Americana that it wouldn't be or feel the same set in another country, similar to GTA or Fable.

Fallout's all about Americana and shit. So I guess most foreign countries wouldn't work without compromising it's "Core". Something like Fallout; Liberia might work though; a country with extremely strong ties to the US. Or a game set around areas of Japan that were heavily occupied by American military post WW2?
I haven't played Fallout in a while. Would anything like that even make sense in the canon?

Oh yeah? Tell me more about the great inland sea of Eastern Tibet. That entire globe is completely retarded anyway. There's no single continuous landmass on Earth that runs from the north pole to the south pole uninterrupted, and definitely not anywhere near China where the southern half is covered by the Indian Ocean.
