    That is a Fallout looking announcement anyway. Too soon for a new game completely, so i'd say a new batch of DLC's.

    Would love a remake/remaster of 3 or NV though.

    It's been 3.5 years, so relatively old (probably in time for the new consoles)

    Go away with your remasters. Hoping for a New Vegas style spinoff.

    Yup, same here. A spin off would be nice.

    I dont understand how or why PUBG could sue Fortnite when the likes of H1Z1 was out years before it.. :confused:

    Its absurd, why even bother? Just focus on making your game better you PUBG twats. Make it as polished as Fortnite and your numbers will rise again..

    Would this lawsuit shit be solely the choice of Aul Player unknown himself? or would it be a room of board members deciding it would be profitable? If the prior, i have to say, he is a professional arsehole :rolleyes:


    Well a lot of these games have a lot to do with brendan greene,who is now partnered with bluehole.

    He started the recent craze for the genre with an Arma mod,Battle Royale. After that he consulted with Daybreak/SOE on H1Z1 then partnered with Bluehole for PUBG.

    Seems fortnite is one of the only games he hasnt worked on in the genre!!

    But he didn't come up with the original concept himself so wouldn't the fact that PUBG is based on a hugely popular cult movie from 2000 which itself was based on a 1999 novel, not be a major stumbling block for any lawsuit?

    Fallout isn't from Obsidian, they denied it on twitter.

    Politics people. Politics.

    The pubg law suit will be thrown out of court. The case where capcom sued data east over their fighter and lost is a carbon copy of what happened here.

    However if pubg can delay fortnite long enough to establish itself in the biggest esports and pc gaming country on the world it could be enough to hold off or crush fortnite. 

    Also fortnite has no personality with its poundland version overwatch/team fortress 2 art. Pretty sure if the game wasn't free freemium it would be dead in the water. So fair play to epic for seeing and exploiting that hole in the market

    I wish Bethesda would just take some time and improve the fallout engine. It always feels so clunky, ugly and buggy. Alas I doubt that's what has happened :(

    Fallout 3 was brilliant but I played through it so many times, as above, they'd want to upgrade the engine. I don't think I'd be too pushed with it. Even with a polish, it would look old as ****.

    Yeah, my "meh" is really just borne of how overly familiar I am with the original. Would prefer something new.




  • It's already 4k on the one x & PC.
    No need for it.

    Unless it's a switch port then meh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    If you missed any of the "action" from the Bethesda stream, there's a recap on reddit. Definitely pointing to the ten year anniversary now.

    This is the problem I always have with PUBG Corp’s litigious approach - their very game concept is borrowed wholesale from another piece of work, right down to the genre name and cosmetic items referencing the inspiration. That’s not even going into the commercial battle royale games that preceded it. It’s surely frustrating to see your success surpassed by doing the same thing, but IMO PUBG’s lack of polish and character has always put it in a precarious position anyway, even if its gameplay flow still feels better than the competitors. Still, it always comes across as sour grapes to me when they file all these lawsuits, particularly when they’ve shamelessly drawn inspiration from other sources themselves.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,104 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    They've filed one lawsuit which any idiot lawyer will know is going to fail. It's a stalling tactic to delay the launch of fortnite in Korea which it so happens to coincide with.


    Plenty of game journalists and youtube personalities seem to have thought they were law graduates when they hear this news.

    Not the first time they’ve done it. Even though the previous games were shameless clones* (and hence may have a much stronger case), the sheer cheek of trying to claim ‘frying pan’ as a copyrightable object is obvious when many of PUBG’s ideas are taken pretty much unaltered from a book/film. Or that, farcically, another game ripped off their ‘energy drink’ items when the original PUBG energy drink is very obviously a rip-off of Red Bull.

    https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/04/pubg-creators-finally-decide-a-copycat-game-has-gone-too-far-file-suit/

    Frivolous and ultimately unsuccessful these lawsuits may be - especially the new one - but they sure as hell deserve criticism for being so cheekily litigious when they’re no strangers to borrowing ideas... perhaps even *more* worthy of criticism if their main goal is to merely delay a game’s release :)

    *not defending clones, btw - still hate the way 2048 became more popular than the vastly superior Threes. But I think Fortnite goes well beyond being a mere clone.

    Not sure what the delay is ...

    I live in Korea and have it here on PC and PS4.
    In fact when I signed up for the PC one, I had to jump through all the stupid Korean internet hoops of using my ID card and personal info in order to register.
    Website/game was in Korea too.

    It's already out here a while now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,257 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    Well, it looks like Nintendo have won this year. And now I have to go and buy a Switch. From the looks of it, whatever you've caught on Pokemon Go can be transferred to the new game on Switch.




    Rumours for the Bethesda announcement say their 'new' game is Fallout 3 on Switch, because gods forbid they make a new game.

    Expected a MUCH bigger step up and difference from Sun/Moon.

    Looks very similar tbh. And they were **** too.
    I bought a 3DS specifically for it...biggest gaming purchase regret.

    Aye, I thought we were getting a new style of game. Looks very similar to previous iterations, but catching pokemon now looks like a pain in the neck.

    Great advert though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,556 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    Never been one on a home console, even if the Switch portable this is new.

    Is PUBG out on mobiles back home?
    Everyone here is feckin playin it on the subways


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 29,872 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    Turns out a ‘core’ Pokemon RPG is also on the way on top of the one in the ad: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-05-30-additional-untitled-core-rpg-pokemon-game-coming-to-switch-next-year

    Nintendo clearly aren’t satisfied with most of the money, and want all the money instead. Regardless of whether you want either of these games, they’re probably the ones that’ll give the Switch an extra sales boost over the next year or so.

    Pokemon is a franchise that has never held any interest for me. I was already 20 by the time Red and Blue were released here - not that I would have had a Game Boy to play them on. It's always been way too cutesy for liking. Maybe it would have been different if I played it as a kid, I know my daughter loves them, but it sounds completely tedious to me.

    I'm in the same situation as you.
    Despite being a massive fan of Nintendo and owning a GB on release, I was just that bit too old, 20 as well, when the Pokemon wave struck and I never understood the appeal.
    My son thinks they are amazing, though his interest is far more with Fallout/Skyrim/Dark Souls these days.

    These new Pokemon titles strike me as place holders until the main course is delivered next year.
    So, this Xmas we can expect Pokemon specific, no dock, Switch packs on the market, sweeping up those previous 3DS owners.

    Pokn is a pretty solid RPG. The only real issues is that the games don't get really good until the post game content where it's a lot more challenging.

    They're quite well written and witty.

    When the first game and anime came out I should have been too old but I loved them anyway :)

    Jesus, Microsoft is now crowd-sourcing its Xbox support:

    https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/29/17406254/microsoft-layoffs-twitter-support-xbox-ambassadors
    Microsoft laid off a team of Xbox support staff earlier this month, replacing them with volunteer Xbox fans, according to two sources affected by the layoffs.

    Yeah, same here, was probably a bit old for Pokemon when the games came out, but the first ones were great fun. I got red and my brother had blue and it was great fun.

    My Mum has been into Pokemon Go and plays its every day. Will have to show her the trailer for the new game, she heard about it and taught it was an update for Go. May get her a switch so she can play it.
