    Didn't see any VATS.
    But...it's only dozens of people per server, not 100's or 1000's he said.

    I'm concerned about cheats though, Fallout/Skyrim is always buggy as hell.
    Also...high level people...and that 'NUKE' ability.
    Could be tough for solor or casual players like myself

    Also seems to be a lack of story

    All sounds really interesting to me! No wonder the map is 4 times bigger than 4, it will be mostly empty so people can build where they want.

    You'd think so.
    But I've put a few 100 hours (albeit wasted) into RUST.

    There are no-lifers out there who will just play to grief and playin for all hours and will find and ruin your sh1t.

    The optimist in me hopes it will be great.
    The pessimist can Imagine a group of 4 or whatever...playing non stop from day 1...gettin to super high levels before most people even hit mid game....having access to the nuclear codes...and just blowing up everything constantly.

    But....they haven't mentioned exactly how it all will work. We'll have to wait and see. I can imagine the BETA will be a complete sh1t show for griefing and bugs.

    Not sure about it now. It really is more like Fallout 4: Online Edition rather than anything particularly new. I'm sure it'll be great fun, but I'd been hoping it'd be to Fallout 4 what New Vegas was to Fallout 3.

    They are calling it soft core survival,

    I didn't catch up on the conference yet but was it mentioned about how it actually works as in I log in, build a cabin in the corner of the map, log out. Next day I log back in, do I automatically go into my map with my cabin? Do I load into a new map with my buildings gone? Not sure how it works.

    They haven't given us all the details yet.
    I guess we'll find out with the Beta

    They've given a few extra but they seem at times to be give more question than answers.

    You buildings follow you as they've not got "servers" to choose between, but how does that work if you want to join in on someone and they've got their camp set up on top of yours. For every where else they can matchmake you with randoms that are in other locations piecing together shards.

    For randomers, does that mean that you 3 hour long war a la mechanist vs antagonizer, will end when you log in and they're gone.

    I just sow that Fallout76 presentation.

    I hate everything about it.

    Basically they are making game on **** part of of the game ( combat ) instead of good part of the game ( story ).

    I didn't see a single npc in game that is not trying to munch on your nipples.

    It even looks very.... bland? Very little of that Fallout spirit and if they wouldn't say its Fallout games, I wouldn't know.

    So might new Fallout76 take the crown of worst game in franchise from F4?

    How does it work when TeamNoLife Nuke your hard earned building ?


    Also...I think the VATS and Perk system are gonna be gone or significantly reduced. Which is a real shame.

    If theres a few Boards users playing this in 5 months time, it would make a great little co-op experience.

    I know all but one of my mates might get this, hes need sold on the idea of an entirely online game but if theres a decent community from here playing it, it will make for some memorable sessions.

    Right now I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

    Do you guys think it will be the same buggy game engine with stuff tacked on. Or a brand new one that works better on newer hardware?

    You lose it if online with them but what happens if you're offline, if you log on but instead of starting normally join a friend in their instance and bring what you had before a log off with you.

    Perks will probably be there, a lot of survival games have them. VATS on the other hand would need to be somewhat real time if it's in it at all.

    It looks like the Fallout 4 engine, so i'd expect it's a slightly upgraded version of that.

    You can bet your house on bugs with Bethesda's track record & I'd nearly expect online to be borked at launch too

    The thing is they are such a big developer, fallout 4 was shown to really only make full use of 1 core. Now that 6+ cores are becoming the norm you would think developing a new game engine to take advantage of that would be a priority. But looking at the in game footage of 76 reminds more of the engine used in Fallout 4.

    I just preordered Armored Edition. Don't really know if I will play the because I hate building settlement for 6 hours when 4 9yo kids armed with almost unlimited time to play and parents credit cards will turn it into dust in few seconds. But hey I need that helmet in my life :)
