As a result it's turned into a sleeper hit, where sales started slow but picked up massively. The game had a very mediocre launch, but they poured everything into good support, great interaction with the community, quickly addressing issues, major backend changes to get rid of cheaters on all platforms, and are continuing to support and expand it even beyond the first year. I forget which Ubi studio is working on that game, but they have basically been the Mirror Universe UbiSoft. I think Rainbow Six: Siege is what is fixing UbiSoft. But still Gamebryo at the end of the day. Obsidian, the guys who developed New Vegas, are mostly the same folks who used to be the now-defunct Black Isle, so New Vegas is unique for having a lot more of the original Fallout feel to the universe and much deeper storytelling reminiscent of Fallout 1 and 2 than Fallout 3 and 4 (Bethesda).įallout 4 uses a heavily upgraded version of Gamebryo with significantly better graphics and effects, and a lot of backend upgrades that allow them to do fancier stuff with the engine. Fallout: New Vegas is basically the modded Gamebryo engine Fallout 3 used, but with a lot of performance improvements and some of the more obnoxious bugs that Fallout 3 had ironed out. Tactics was meh, but I can't recommend 1 and 2 enough, especially 1 which is up there as one of my favorite RPGs ever.įallout 3 was after Bethesda bought the rights to Fallout, and uses their Gamebryo engine that they use for the Elder Scrolls games. Fallout 1, 2, and Tactics were Black Isle (the original developer) and were isometric RPGs with turn-based combat in the style of Spiderweb's recent games (albeit far more advanced in graphics and effects, being AAA releases).
