Id actually prefer to see what bethesda can do in that genre with fallout as a backdrop. Sign me up!

Oh I don't doubt they will do it well if that's what it is, I just won't be playing it. MMO's are time sinks and I'm scared to have anything to do with them. I like gaming an hour or two every other night.

Fallout games in general are time sinks tho arent they?

MMO's are on a whole other level. They're designed hold you and you generally have a lot of grinding involved.

Fallout games are generally designed as casual sandbox fun in a post apocalyptic setting.

Love the idea of going to Washington DC ~200 years before Fallout 3. Fingers crossed this isn't a huge disappointment, but I'm pretty optimistic; Bethesda knows what they are doing.

eso.

I was playing Dirt Trax FX for SNES last night. I remember as a kid the best game mode was essentially dirt bike tag - not nearly as satisfying as a 1 player game now.

I loved that game. They should come out with a Switch reboot.

NES Excitebike was more my jam; then N64 Excite Bike. Never played Dirt Trax FX though - looking at it now, it has some seriously impressive graphics for that system though.

Well ... so far, it just looks like a regular Fallout game ...

Fingers crossed they've just added Co-op or something like that, with just an expanded Settlement building system.

Also, 4x as big as Fallout 4 according to Howard ... so there's that.

Edit: Listening to Todd Howard opening comments on the game, I'm really feeling that this is just another Fallout game, and I couldn't be happier. He doesn't say anything about this being "different" than any of the others, just that's it's way bigger than 4.

Good watch:

Nevermind, it's fully multiplayer.

We've been wanting to bring multiplayer to our worlds for a long time and we're excited to share that experience with you in #Fallout76.

See you there. #BE3 pic.twitter.com/fsufZYdcmG

Update: Nevermind the nevermind: "Bethesda director and executive producer Todd Howard also clarified that your choices will still matter, so the classic Fallout vibe will still be present. The difference is that you can now have a squad. Howard says that it’s perfectly possible to enjoy the game by yourself, but that it’ll be easier when you play with other people." Yaaaay for all the anti-social gamers!! Haha
Update 2:

Buuuut .... there was this big surprise as well:

We're excited to announce our next chapter, The Elder Scrolls VI. pic.twitter.com/3aF5evUsnY

I loved that you could build your on track. Always had as many ramps as possible. Oh, and speed boosts!

Sounds like an MMO. Looks cool but I probably won't play it.

If Elder Scrolls online is any indication then I probably won’t either.

I love Elder Scrolls games but they lose their appeal as you try to sneak in to a cave and see 6 different people running and jumping around to go and back away. Completely ruined the game imo.
