Fan-made Fallout 2 first-person remake now has over 100 developers working on it, and is targeting a Steam release while making 'fast progress'
Kolanaki, 
The trippiest thing about this to me is that it looks like it was built in the Doom engine, but it’s actually made with GameBryo lol

Taking bets on how long before this gets a cease and desist order.
Coasting0942, Far stronger position to have a mod that requires fall out 2 and 4 installed, instructions for how to merge assets from both games.
TachyonTele, We’ll see. Has Bethsoft taken down any full conversion mods? Tamerial Rebuilt, and the mowwind to obliv/Skyrim mods are still ok, last I checked.
It’s a Fallout 4 mod. Idk why they think it’s anything but that.
BroBot9000, With the show and Amazon being involved I can see it being a very different story now.
FordBeeblebrox, Fallout London is still on track so they seem alright with it.
kakes, “Cease and desist”?
Ephera, This thing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cease_and_desist
Basically “stop or we’ll sue you”.
kakes, For the record - I know, lol. But thank you!
Edit: Ooooh, the person I was replying to edited their comment. I see where the confusion came from now haha.
Ephera, Ah, so I’m guessing, they had a typo in there. 😅
Tylerdurdon, FO2 was my favorite game for a long time. Something about the mix of starting out tribal and the way you progress, the bozar, and the wide variety of endings was great.
FiniteBanjo, (edited ) NGL, the vast majority of these fan-games and crazy large mods have been beyond disappointing.
EDIT: Except for Fnaf fangames those are lit for some reason.
wccrawford, And “100 developers working on it” doesn’t mean much when they’re unpaid and there’s no lower limit on how much they have to actually contribute.
FiniteBanjo, In fact, it often seems like the more unpaid contributors in an unstructured organization the worse the product. Like Starbound or Fallout: The Frontier.
degen, Ugh Starbound was supposed to be so sick. That might be the only time I actually bought into early access hoping for more and got let down.
IncogCyberspaceUser, What’s wrong with Starbound?
degen, I had a lot of high hopes for what it was striving to be, but it kind of fizzled out and never really excelled at any particular thing. Not saying it’s necessarily bad, I just remember being so hyped about it.
DebatableRaccoon, A tale of a quantity of cooks in a designated room comes to mind.
TachyonTele, More than likely it’s a long the lines of “you get Cell x, y” on the map.
catloaf, So it’s going to be a mess of mismatched art styles?
TachyonTele, No idea. That’s just usually how mods like this get doled out.
Potatos_are_not_friends, I used to cut my teeth on modding, and I was even part of a team. You think elementary school groups were bad, where one person carried the whole team? Yeah… That’s modding.
The challenge is that its volunteering.
It’s volunteers trying to Project Manager AND contribute AND be encouraging. Because the moment someone gets “too” serious, you leave.
ILikeBoobies, You’re looking in the wrong places
Wars of Liberty is the best way to play Age of Empires and even has competitions strictly on the mod
FiniteBanjo, Exceptions usually prove the rules.
Shiggles, As someone that couldn’t get into modern fallout games, but actually loved going back to 1 and then 2, this just sounds like 2 but worse.
fakeman_pretendname, Personally, I’d probably prefer to see Fallout 3/4/NV converted to an isometric turn-based engine.
However, I know I’m old and have a niche opinion on such things, so I genuinely wish them good luck :)
Bogusmcfakester, I like your internet moniker sir
fakeman_pretendname, Thank you, and likewise. It’s good to know I’m not the only person using a pseudonym. I guess everyone else is using their real names :)
Duke_Nukem_1990, Nehrim and Enderal for Oblivion and Skyrim respectively are both phenomenal.
PostaL, Black Mesa was also good
