Glad it didn't take this direction.

cripterion · Dec 13, 2015

Woahh, just seen the pics but this is insane! Might make me go back to the game.
Edit : nvm it's not an actual working mod.

Banana Aeon · Dec 13, 2015

Does it play like the old Fallouts, or is this just for shits and giggles?

lazygecko · Dec 13, 2015

The assets sure look a lot more palatable when they're not up close in first person. Almost as if they were made to be viewed that way, ironically.

Just how playable the game is from this viewpoint is another question entirely.

Protome · Dec 13, 2015

I want this to be a thing. A Fallout 4 which actually played like one of the good Fallout games would be great.

Granjinha · Dec 13, 2015

I'm pretty sure this is from a gaffer.

From the hi-res PC screenshots thread.

Coreda · Dec 13, 2015

GAF -> Internet -> GAF.

These are shots by Seyavesh.

CHC · Dec 13, 2015

We've come full circle here....

The guy who made these originally (Seyavesh) posted them in the 2015 PC Screenshot Thread, right here on NeoGAF.

StrawberryJam · Dec 13, 2015

It's amazing how much more visually appealing it is to me isometric.

Dennis · Dec 14, 2015

So.............Wasteland 2.....?

Fallout 1 and 2, I know I know

Qassim · Dec 14, 2015

These made me realise that I really need to play Wasteland 2.

Hoo-doo · Dec 14, 2015

God this can even make Gamebryo look passable. I wish this were real.

Vulcano's assistant · Dec 14, 2015

You know these are from the screenshot thread, right? ~~Linking freaking imgur when the author post uncompressed version on this very forum...~~
edit:Ok he does use imgur that allows hi res, imgur as well it seems, but not compressed like those.

Arulan · Dec 14, 2015

If only it were really isometric and turn-based, but honestly that's the least of Bethesda's problems.

I find Christopher Bischoff's of THE BROTHERHOOD (STASIS) take on isometric Fallout 4 more appealing, minus the excessive post-processing effects.

bengraven · Dec 14, 2015

Isometric looks cool and is nostalgic, but I just can't play the games anymore. Dead State, Divinity 2, and Wasteland 2 just didn't get me as hooked as I had hoped.

I find these kind of games as compelling as ever.

Something inside of you must have gotten broken.

Hahs · Dec 14, 2015

saw this a few days ago somewhere...can't remember, but anyway - looks cool.

would be kinda sweet with that perspective on a mobile version maybe - should there ever be one.

What is wrong with you?

Shadowrun Dragonfall and Wasteland 2 is all the evidence you need that these games are still viable on the 4K screens of gamers today.

manfestival · Dec 14, 2015

looks way more interesting than the actual game lol

The camera projection should be ortographic for maximum isometric-ness. Gotta have that perfect symmetric perspective.

Replicant · Dec 14, 2015

Eh. No thanks. Never like Isometric games and I doubt I'd enjoy Fallout 4 as much as I do now if it's in that mode.

Agreed, isometric just doesn't feel the same to me any longer. I've enjoyed recent titles with this POV, but I always had a feeling of what I would call "not so good nostalgia".

It was never there, I think that's the issue.

I didn't play a lot of them when I was younger. The first PC RPG I played, shortly after getting my first PC, was NWN and it was just bland. And then Morrowind. It wasn't until the last 5-10 years that I actually was able to experience isometric games anyway.

It's a huge regret, though. I've wanted to experience Fallout 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate, etc, the way other people have and I don't think I can ever do that.

gelf · Dec 14, 2015

I vastly prefer the look of the game like this. I never actually played Fallout 1 and 2 but I have a great fondness for isometric prerendered backdrops of many old games and this mod looks just like that.

KdylanR92 · Dec 14, 2015

Really glad it didn't go that route, isometric games are like repellant to me, i don't wanna go anywhere near them.

tcrunch · Dec 14, 2015

bleck.

Also found out from this thread that PC darling Divinity: Original Sin is isometric, which means it's a pass. Unfortunate.

TheRed · Dec 14, 2015

Hehe this is funny because already seen these in the PC screenshot thread.

Dennis · Dec 14, 2015

Reading this thread all I can think is: "This is why we can't have nice things".

Irobot82 · Dec 14, 2015

So much hate for the Isometric games, wow. Some of my favorite games.

TwEE-N-Toast · Dec 14, 2015

Looks fucking amazing. Would have been great if they went that way, but theres a lot of people who think anything other then first person or over the shoulder 3rd person is archaic.

I agree..

gets irritating when i don't have complete control of the camera

StayDead · Dec 14, 2015

I would probably have a desire to play Fallout 4 if this was it.

Skelter · Dec 14, 2015

Yup. I devoured Divinity and Wasteland 2. I HATE the direction Fallout is going now. I even gave it a shot when I bought Fallout 3 on launch. Terrible. New Vegas is great and all but it still suffered from being turned into a first person rpg.

Seyavesh · Dec 14, 2015

cool

OrlanisWorks · Dec 14, 2015

Looks really cool. Not sure if it would click even if it were made possible, since I couldn't get into Shadowrun Returns or the original Fallout games.

E: I think gameplay involving turn-taking and heavy reliance on numbers generally bores me.

Have you played Underrail?

Sadly yes, I love isometric and other fixed camera angles. its depressing how so many see it as a turn off. I want variety outside of typical 1st and 3rd person cameras.

the original shots i did when learning how the isometric camera actually works captured this perfectly and then i was never able to get it again lol

Alienfan · Dec 14, 2015

So glad Fallout moved away from this. It's a cool look, but really limits the way you can explore the environment - as many details would go amiss not being able to get up close to them.

Blyr · Dec 14, 2015

I have never seen something that made me so happy, and yet so depressed at the same time.

In an alternate universe, this is the real Fallout 4, and Interplay is still making them.

Coreda · Dec 14, 2015

With the density of objects and to be practical as a mod it would probably need an invisible wall mechanic, which would take something away from the overall attractiveness seen here.

Would be great to see it in action, have you recorded any videos Seyavesh?

Crossing Eden · Dec 14, 2015

Looks neat tho.

Maybe I missed it but how did you do this? Or link me to your post in the screens thread. These look stunning!

there's no real video to be recorded, haha. i usually freeze the game to take the shots w/ TFC 1 and you can't control player movement when in non-freeze TFC/freecam mode (that i know of)

INDIGO_CYCLOPS said:

low, low FOV (fov 18) + zooming the camera really far out and trying to get the perfect angle/height/direction to take the shot from. try to line stuff up based off my memories of what fo1/2 looked like when i was a kid, especially w/ doorways since those are the most obvious thing

it's actually a bit rougher than it seems because of how far you have to zoom out and the sheer density + verticality of locations in the commonwealth
