STASIS – a new isometric point-and-click, sci-fi, horror adventure game – has just been released and since Fallout was a HUGE influence on STASIS, Chris Bischoff decided to pay a little tribute to Bethesda’s RPG. Therefore, Chris released the following images, showing what Fallout 4 would look like as a 2D isometric game.

Well, damn.
I'd pay $60 for that game.

This guy's really talented at isometric art. Here's his take on Bioshock.

He needs to get in contact and make a spinoff, ASAP. I'd buy that really quickly. lol

 

[Solid Samus]

What's super neat is that if you zoom out far enough, New Vegas looks straight up like an older Fallout game

Very nice. Is there just a single image?

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

why the lens flares though?

 

[Drayco21]

If it looked like this, I might actually play Fallout 4. Artist seems pretty rad.

 

[hwy_61]

Looks really neat.

 

[Eggbok]

why the lens flares though?

It's 2015, lens flare is gaming 101 now.

 

[kamineko]

Looks good. Anyone played STASIS?

 

[z1ggy]

STASIS devs would make a better Fallout, for sure.

 

[texhnolyze]

Looks good. Anyone played STASIS?

There's an OT here and people seem to enjoy it.
I might give the game a try as well later.

 

[Secret Fawful]

Wow. Gorgeous. I wonder how long it took him to make those.

 

[Ogimachi]

Shit, this is so beautiful and sad at the same time. Why did good CRPG studios have to be so poor in 2007?

I'll check it out. Thanks for the link!

[VideoMan]

Yep. He's done a few one-off peices for popular games.

Bioshock Infinite:

Assassin's Creed 4:

Oh man, I'd seen Stasis before, but didn't know it was the guy who did this stuff.

 

[Arulan]

If only Troika had won the bid, and of course stayed afloat.

 

[thehillissilent]

It looks gorgeous. My problem is that I would want it to be real time 3D for dynamic lighting and perspective changing purposes (like rotation).

 

[exmachina64]

With the 23% off code, it's currently $15 at GMG -- a $10 discount.

 

[texhnolyze]

Shit, this is so beautiful and sad at the same time. Why did good CRPG studios have to be so poor in 2007?

Yeah, that's exactly what I feel as well.
It's beautiful but I feel pretty sad inside.

Yep. He's done a few one-off peices for popular games.

Bioshock Infinite:

Assassin's Creed 4:

Damn, those are gorgeous.
Imagine an isometric Assassin's Creed game with real time combat & stealth like Volume, I might actually play that.

 

[Saucycarpdog]

Yep. He's done a few one-off peices for popular games.

Bioshock Infinite:

Assassin's Creed 4:

I would be more than OK with letting him make these adaptions or, hell, he could just blatantly rip off the aesthetics and make a new game for all I care.

 

[Altazor]

those isometric images (the FO4 ones and also the others) are absolutely beautiful <3 Love isometric 2D games, especially pre-rendered

 

[Sectorseven]

They should hire this guy for the PS1 Final Fantasy HD releases.

 

[HalfwayOrb]

The second Fallout picture you posted looks terrible. The monster and the guy are too big, or the building is too small. It's fucked up. Doesn't match.

 

[jonnyp]

I would play all those games tbh.

 

[fertygo]

If only

 

[Fantastical]

Bioshock Infinite:

GOOD GOD. I love that. He's really talented.

Also this did what it was supposed to - didn't know about Stasis and now I'm super interested in it. Will probably buy it soon. It looks great!

 

[Starfield]

meh. I'll stick with Bethesda

but it looks really nice though, the artstyle especially

 

[inm8num2]

Awesome artwork - let's make it happen!

 

[Ogimachi]

If only Troika had won the bid, and of course stayed afloat.

Out of every studio closed in the last decade, Troika was the biggest tragedy.
What's worse is that they sought publishers to fund the project and buy the IP, but none of them saw the potential and Bethesda ended up buying for just $5.75 million. The next game alone will probably generate what, 500 million in the first week? Yet the game's going to be worse in every aspect compared to a Troika Fallout would've been.

Bioshock Infinite:

Assassin's Creed 4:

Beautiful.

 

[spineduke]

Amazing work - will definitely be watching his studios future output.

Old FFs would be amazing to see (6,7) in his style.

 

[masud]

Fallout should have stayed isometric. The pseudo fps shit doesn't work well with the gameplay imo.

 

[The Technomancer]

Jesus the Bioshock Infinite one looks nice

 

[Venom Fox]

I want this guy to take all the franchises we love and make games in this style. This man needs to be awarded with some sort of knighthood or something.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

This guy's really talented at isometric art. Here's his take on Bioshock.

That's gorgeous. I'd actually want to return to Rapture if it looked like that.

 

[cireza]

Those are stunning.

No kidding, breaks my damn heart every time I think about it.

 

[ttech10]

Bioshock Infinite:

That Bioshock Infinite one reminds me of Robin Hood Legend of Sherwood and how I wish there were a remake/sequel to it.

 

[Phat Michael]

Those iso images are just STUNNING. I would LOVE a game like that!

 

[Kallor]

All of those are just beautiful.

 

[Psoelberg]

Wow, thanks for the links. These picturesa are amazing.

He's really talented at capturing the atmosphere of the specific games.

 

[Chev]

It looks gorgeous. My problem is that I would want it to be real time 3D for dynamic lighting and perspective changing purposes (like rotation).

Why is that a problem though? Real time isometric 3D graphics are actually trivial to implement, it's just that devs don't do it because that isn't what sells.

 

[SuomiDude]

That isometric view look would mean a must buy for me, now it's a must pass. Same goes for FO3/NV. Can't feel any Fallout in the newer games due to the perspective.

 

[DarkTom]

Gorgeous pics in this thread, congrats to the artist.

 

[doomquake]

Wow this is great (and depressing). Hopefully with the success of stasis he will do something else - but if anyone from the studio is reading: please don't forget that writing is the most important element in adventure games.

 

[Podge293]

why the lens flares though?

everything's better with lens flare !!!!

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Uh, you mean anyone at Bethesda? Because they may have forgotten that a while back.
