13 years ago today, on October 19, 2010, Fallout: New Vegas was officially released in North America. Since its release, it has been widely acclaimed by the community.
Happy 13th Anniversary Fallout: New Vegas! And thank you to all of the developers behind its production!
According to Feargus Urqhart via Eurogamer on September 13, 2017, the game's pitch document was “probably three pages” long.
It had the title of “Fallout: Sin City,” which “very quickly got changed to Fallout: Vegas and then became Fallout: New Vegas.”
Following its release, the game received six add-ons, four of which introduced new areas and stories to explore (Dead Money, Honest Hearts, Old World Blues and Lonesome Road).
Gun Runners' Arsenal introduced new weapons, and Courier's Stash added the game's pre-order bonuses.
The game has had a lasting impact on the Fallout community and the greater gaming community! Again, thank you to all the developers who worked on the game.
Josh Sawyer, Chris Avellone, Jesse Farrell, Eric Fenstermaker, Akil Hooper, Seth McCaughey, Shon Stewart, and so many more.
Fallout in general is one of my favorite video game franchises ever. And although it has its flaws, Fallout 4 was and always will be my favorite. So here's some art I did for the anniversary!
Fallout’s 25th Anniversary is happening now, and Bethesda commissioned this artwork for the event! Of course, being from the newest single-player entry, Nate is front and center, but there’s representation for each of the canon games.. can you catch all the references?
And you’re asking, what event? This event!
Go grab a free copy of Fallout 76 now if you’ve got Amazon/Twitch Prime, and if not, well there’s gonna be a free week of it coming up soon as well! I do like how they’re also giving away extra stuff on 4′s Creation Club too, which, if you didn’t know, already DOES a 100% discount on smaller items Bethesda themselves create each week (thus, mod authors aren’t losing any money), so you can get most of it’s items without ever paying a cent.
While of course I think the paid mods situation was handled poorly, a reminder that most games Valve’s created started life as a mod, and they’re some of the best and most popular titles ever made. The concept itself isn’t flawed, but implementation is, although that’s another story..
This is the big day! The day I posted Buttons' first character sheet a decade ago!
I wanted to thank you for sticking around and helping me develop him and Meg during these last 10 years by putting together this quick lil recap website. Hope you like it!
i love that bi generation is a convenient way to push all the repercussions of 13's escapades onto 14 so that 15 can be written without having to deal with the bullshit clusterfuck of a story chris chibnall shit all over the show
15 years ago today, on October 28, 2008, Fallout 3 was officially released in North America! Its release marked a new era for the Fallout franchise, and brought the series widespread attention.
Happy 15th Anniversary Fallout 3! And thanks to everyone involved on the game!
Fallout 3 was officially announced on July 12, 2004, via a Bethesda Softworks Press Release. Todd Howard said quote:
“Fallout is one of my favorite games, and we plan to develop a visually stunning and original game for Fallout 3 with all the hallmarks of a great RPG.”
Information about the game was first unveiled to the public on July 1, 2007, via a private press event.
The July 2007 issue of Game Informer also unveiled the first bits of information to the general public.
Fallout 3's concept art was handled by the wonderful Adam Adamowicz, who unfortunately passed away on February 9, 2012.
Adam and his work on Fallout 3 will never be forgotten, and his work still lives on in subsequent Fallout titles.
Fallout 3 introduced the Fallout series to a new generation of players. I'm happy to say that I was one of them!
Fallout means so much to me, and I never would've experienced it without Fallout 3. Thank you to everyone who worked on it, and who still does.💜
Another WIP of our beloved Ghoul Mayor Hancock, this time a cropped grayscale teaser (it will be in full color when completed) laying down some Goodneighbor Justice on a currently unseen foe.
Wanted to do some more action battle scenes and some pissy expressions and also share some more of my Fallout fan art WIPs for Fallout’s 25th Anniversary.
