PC Fallout Bakersfield - Doom 1993 total conversion mod

[GtehMVP]

Holy shit this team has nailed the aesthetic of OG Fallout. I still love Fallout 4, but didn't like the artistic direction Bethesda took the franchise in. They were far closer to the OG's with FO3, but went all in on the silliness more than anything.

Anyway, here's the trailer for the upcoming Fallout Bakersfield, looks incredible.



@Clippy this is using "GZDoom WAD". As the resident Doom expert here, what is that exactly, a mod tool that brings in new features to the classic Doom engine? Been a while since I looked into anything made in this engine, but this looks incredible!

a WAD is just a file format (aka Where's All the Data)used in the GZDoom engine for running the data

WAD

WAD (which, according to the Doom Bible, is an acrostic for "Where's All the Data?" [1]) is the file format used by Doom and all Doom-engine-based games for storing data. A WAD file consists of a header, a directory, and the data lumps that make up the resources stored within the file. A WAD...

Accurate depiction of Bakersfield.

Accurate depiction of Bakersfield.

My thoughts exactly. But the zombies in real life Bakersfield are less energetic.

Boomer shooters have a solid following. Just not blockbuster type revenue Triple A studios desire.

Sadly Bethesda is in shambles creatively and stretched thin development wise. They should be hiring this mod team with proper studio resources to bring this to a modern game as DLC.

Supposedly this team are also working on a Fallout crpg too

You can grab these epic games for a couple dollars on steam. some are literally a dollar sometimes. Best dollars you'll ever spend. I remember these games costed 30 plus bucks back in the day which was a lot of money at the time. I grabbed these for like a few dollars or less. you guys should checkout steam and grab some of these legend games.

1. Duke Nukem 3d atomic
2. blakestone aliens of gold

Every time I hear about Bakersfield I think about the Running Man.

Thanks for info, and damn that game looks amazing. Looks like pre war Fallout!

I was just watching a video on FO Bakersfield and Mr Matty covered this, great timing!

With Fallout 5 being greenlit now, and looking to be rushed into development earlier than Todd Howard was wanting, I hope M$ is also ignoring any wishes he has for FO1 and 2 not being remade.

I've wanted a full remake of the originals exactly how this game looks for a long time. A new IP in that similar style would be awesome too. Retro Futurism is always cool, just like a deep CRPG is always welcome.
