The creator of Fallout has had to cancel the New Mexico mod due to mental health issues

Mental health comes first, and Zapshock, the developer behind the ambitious mod Fallout: Nuevo México, has made this known by announcing the definitive cancellation of the project, which had been in development since 2016. Through his official Discord server, the creator expressed that the decision was made after reflecting on the pressure that creative work exerts on his mental health. With a team of fewer than four people, the workload became unsustainable, leading Zapshock to prioritize his personal well-being. Sometimes you have to let go […]

Mental health comes first, and this has been made clear by Zapshock, the developer behind the ambitious mod Fallout: New Mexico, who has announced the definitive cancellation of the project, which had been in development since 2016. Through his official Discord server, the creator expressed that the decision was made after reflecting on the pressure that creative work exerts on his mental health. With a team of fewer than four people, the workload became unsustainable, leading Zapshock to prioritize his personal well-being.

Sometimes You Have to Let Go

In his emotional statement, Zapshock mentioned the sacrifice of time and effort he dedicated to the mod, stating that he has poured thousands of hours, including long nights and early mornings, into this work that became his passion and obsession. Letting go of something you’ve put your heart into is painful, but necessary, he noted, thanking the fans for their support and words of encouragement throughout the development.

Despite this unfortunate news, the outlook is not entirely bleak for Fallout modders. Recently, the mod Fallout: London, which has managed to overcome various obstacles, has established itself as a successful benchmark within mods, having been very well received by the community. This mod, unlike New Mexico, has continued its path and has raised expectations about what community projects can achieve in the Fallout universe.

The cancellation of Fallout: New Mexico highlights the inherent difficulties in many mods within the gaming community, where they can take years to develop and often face insurmountable challenges. This situation not only represents the reality of Zapshock and his team but also that of many others in the world of mod creation, where passion often clashes with the difficulty of maintaining a sustainable project.

Biting Our Nails Until the Second Season

According to Nielsen, Fallout has improved audience figures by more than 25% compared to The Rings of Power, which reached 9.4 billion minutes in its first year. This context highlights the potential and attraction that the adaptation of the iconic video game developed by Bethesda is exerting, led by Ella Purnell. The series, despite being new in the realm of science fiction productions, has quickly managed to capture the attention of a wide audience.

On the other hand, the filming of the second season of Fallout is taking place in the United States, and the confidence of the producers is palpable given the outstanding performance of the first installment. In the ranking of the most-watched series of 2023, only four original programs, all with more episodes, managed to surpass Fallout. This fact highlights the renewed interest in video game adaptations on the small screen.

As the production of the new season progresses, the series’ followers eagerly await how the story will unfold and what new adventures this post-apocalyptic universe will offer.

Rumors suggest that actor Kumail Nanjiani might join the cast, although his role has not yet been confirmed. This information was reported by Jeff Sneider, a journalist known for his accuracy in covering Hollywood news. However, it is important to note that not all claims materialize, so Nanjiani’s possible participation in the series remains uncertain.

Nanjiani, known for his work in major projects like Marvel’s Eternals and the Star Wars series Obi-Wan Kenobi, has shown his versatility as an actor, standing out in comedies like Portlandia and Silicon Valley. Additionally, it has been hinted that he might be involved in the upcoming Naughty Dog game, which raises his profile in the entertainment industry.

We would also have a mad genius who is very familiar

Not only could Nanjiani be a new face in the series; it was previously reported that Macaulay Culkin will join as a “mad genius”. The second season will also feature the return of some main cast members, including Ella Purnell (Lucy), Aaron Moten (Maximus), and Walter Goggins, known for his role as the Ghoul.

The production of the second season was delayed due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, but it has resumed and is expected to take viewers to new locations within the Fallout universe, where they will face fearsome Deathclaws. With these new developments, the anticipation for the season grows as fans continue to await more details about the direction and cast of the series.

Doomout? Falloom?

The mod’s narrative places the player in the role of one chosen by ‘THE OVERSEER’, who must venture into the dreaded Vault 666 to locate ‘THE WATER CHIP’. The mission is not easy, as the environment is filled with mutants and other dangers that threaten their existence. With each step, players will be forced to face a variety of enemies in a post-apocalyptic world reminiscent of the classic games in the Fallout series.

Among the most notable features of the mod are new weapons and items that add depth to the gameplay.

There will also be classic Fallout items available, such as Jet, Psycho, and Nuka-Cola, which can be found in vending machines throughout the map. Additionally, a loyal companion, the dog Dogmeat, will join the player during their journey.

The mod offers a special ending that can be unlocked if the player manages to keep Dogmeat alive until the end. This adds an extra layer of excitement and challenge to the adventure. With its mix of nostalgia and new features, Fallout: Vault 666 promises to be a memorable experience for fans of both Doom and Fallout. Without a doubt, fans of both franchises will find in this mod an exciting way to relive their favorite worlds.

The creator of Fallout is clear: players don't know what they want

The growing gap between video game developers and players has been a topic of debate in the industry, especially concerning the failure of certain titles. Tim Cain, co-creator of Fallout, has addressed this issue, pointing out that both creators and users face challenges in understanding each other’s expectations.

The growing gap between video game developers and players has been a topic of debate in the industry, especially regarding the failure of certain titles. Tim Cain, co-creator of Fallout, has addressed this issue, pointing out that both creators and users face challenges in understanding each other’s expectations. According to Cain, it is often observed that developers fail to grasp what their audience truly desires, which becomes even more complicated when trying to attract new audiences.

Players should be more expressive and developers more flexible

The process of creating a video game is notably longer and more complicated than that of a movie or a book. This scenario makes it difficult for studios to follow current trends without their projects quickly becoming outdated. Cain points out that, although many criticize specific aspects of video games, many players provide vague analyses, which limits constructive feedback. “It’s easy to criticize what you don’t like, but it’s more complicated to express what you really want,” the developer stated.

The lack of specific criticisms has led to confusion in development, especially in genres like Soulslike, where difficulty can be seen as an obstacle by some, while for others it represents an incentive. Cain emphasizes that developers cannot satisfy everyone, as the diversity of opinions in the community is wide.

However, there is also an alternative argument proposed by Cain: creators should focus on developing games they enjoy and not worry too much about external expectations. This opens an interesting discussion about whether the correct approach is to create for oneself or for a broader audience, which could define the future of the industry.

Fallout fans will have a new game today (but there’s a catch)

This is ‘Fallout: London’ – a mod that has been in development since 2019 and will finally be released today after five years of preparation.

‘Fallout’ may never have had such a sweet moment as this, with Bethesda pocketing millions thanks to the Amazon Prime Video series that has led to games like ‘Fallout New Vegas’ and ‘Fallout 76’ topping the bestseller lists. And yet, it seems that the producer is in no hurry to release ‘Fallout 5’ or any kind of spin-off, so the fans have taken matters into their own hands.

Nuclear London

This is ‘Fallout: London’ – a mod that has been in development since 2019 and will finally be released today after five years of preparation, with its ups and downs. But finally, the FOLON team has managed to complete it, and they have even already shown a song from the soundtrack titled ‘I just can’t wait (for tomorrow).’ There is no more waiting to play, ‘unless a nuclear war starts,’ they said. Funny, guys.

It is one of the most elaborate mods, in general, in the history of video games, which have created the world from scratch with unique missions, fully dubbed characters, original soundtrack and much more. And it was almost impossible when Bethesda announced an update for ‘Fallout 4’ to work on next-gen consoles that would have completely broken ‘Fallout: London.’

In fact, in order for the project to be played, players have to use a copy of ‘Fallout 4’ from before the update. Since you’re already playing the mod, it doesn’t cost you anything. In addition, it promises many hours of gameplay, with a map as big as its base game and, for the first time, it moves away from the United States to focus on Europe. Is Bethesda taking good note for the future? For now, it’s clear that this looks like… a bombshell.

The ‘Fallout’ fan who made an unofficial film ends up working with Bethesda (even if it’s by chance)

Por supuesto, corrió a Twitter a preguntar a Bethesda dónde cobrar el cheque o, al menos, a pedir que le dejaran “poder dibujar una version nueva y mejor”.

Once upon a time, before Hollywood started making versions of everything we love in pop culture, fans had to make their own versions if they wanted a pop-culture film. That’s how famous fan-films like ‘Sonic Prologue’ and ‘Godzilla: Heritage’ were born, two that conquered the hearts of countless fans. However, with the arrival of series like ‘Fallout’ or ‘The Last of Us’, the fan films were somewhat left aside. Well, more or less.

The Fall of Fallout

In the thick of 2024, there’s no doubt that ‘Fallout’ is en vogue. So much so that there are those who are claiming, in addition to the series, a fan-made short film in 2015 titled ‘Fallout: Nuka Break’, directed by and starring Zack Finfrock thirteen years ago and accumulating 3.6 million views on YouTube. Over the years, Finfrock, an undying fan of the saga, has made numerous drawings of Vault Boy and several parodies, but Bethesda has never taken notice of him.

Until now. And it’s for the most random reason: While Finfrock was playing Fallout 76, he realized there was a drawing that remarkably resembled one he had made some time ago. In fact, it was the same drawing, but slightly modified. Of course, he rushed to Twitter to ask Bethesda where to cash the check or, at least, to ask if they would let him “draw a new and better version”.

The team behind ‘Fallout 76’ immediately apologized, claiming that it was a mistake involving a third party, and in order to avoid further issues, they decided to pay him to create new art in the game. Thirteen years later, the Fallout fan has achieved his goal. By chance? Of course. But it still counts. Oh yeah, the author also managed to secure funding for his second short film about the saga, ‘Fallout: Breaking’– $27,500 that he’ll use to offer an alternative to fans of the Amazon Prime Video series. The Wasteland sure has been kind to him!

Do you want to play the new ‘Fallout’ already? Well, calm down, Bethesda isn’t in any hurry

“No creo que sea malo que la gente eche de menos franquicias. Queremos hacerlo bien y estar seguros de que todos lo que hacemos se convierten en momentos con significado para todos los que aman estos juegos tanto como nosotros””

One would think that with the Fallout series and the crazy success that ‘New Vegas’ and ‘Fallout 76’ have had long after their release, Bethesda would be stepping up their game with the new installment of the saga, right? Well, apparently not really: they’ve decided to take it easy. While they prepare more and more expansions for ‘Starfield’, they’ve already stated that they will not rush the next thing that comes in the saga.

Fallout 76 DOWNLOAD

It falls beneath its own weight

Obviously they have something prepared and in the works, but to no one’s surprise, Todd Howard stated clearly that “he can’t talk about it”. However, he has confessed that rushing them out doesn’t make sense for Bethesda because with the television series, they already have the quota covered for the franchise to continue its fame and for the lore to continue growing organically.

Obviously, a new game in the saga would be a guaranteed hit right now, but… when wouldn’t it be? It’s ‘Fallout’, after all! Bethesda knows that there’s a game suffering right now, which is Starfield, and they want to dedicate all their resources to that game before returning to Wasteland. Well, at least we know that good things are coming: “We want to make a new type of single-player game. And those things take time. I don’t think it’s a bad thing for people to miss franchises. We want to do it right and make sure that everything we do becomes meaningful moments for everyone who loves these games as much as we do”. In other words, we just have to wait!

‘Fallout’ arrives in ‘Fortnite’ because they weren’t going to let this train pass

It’s true that we don’t yet know what the crossover will entail, but we can be sure that we will see the specific armor as well as the blue and yellow vault suits.

Who would have thought that in the middle of 2024 everyone would be playing ‘Fallout‘? The Amazon Prime Video series has not only been a success for the platform itself, but it has also made many people think “Hey, what if I play for a while?”. And, of course, lately, with success comes the corresponding call from Epic Games requesting the collaboration of the moment in ‘Fortnite’.

Fortnite DOWNLOAD

Fallnite or Fortout?

In this case, the teaser has left little room for doubt: the Fortnite Twitter account has posted an image of the legendary Brotherhood of Steel helmet. It’s as clear as day. It’s true that we still don’t know what the crossover will consist of, but we can assume that we will see the aforementioned armor as well as the blue and yellow outfits of the shelters.

And if they don’t include Vault Boys in some way, I don’t think they’ll be satisfied, in addition to post-nuclear implementations on the map. What we do have is a date: May 24th, the third chapter of season 5 will welcome this new crossover, which adds to an endless list that they have gone through from John Wick to J Balvin, passing through Coachella and even Nike.

After all, advertising in ‘Fortnite’ is a showcase for a lot of kids who are discovering pop culture and it’s very likely that they will become curious. We all win. Oh, yes, this may not end here: if the idea is to take advantage of the desert for ‘Fallout’, don’t doubt for a moment that we will also have a moment to enjoy the crossover with ‘Furiosa’. When we were kids, we dreamed of something like this, let’s not deny it.

Someone has bombed Phil Spencer in ‘Fallout 76’ (and they don’t feel guilty)

Until someone has decided to relentlessly bombard a particular camp: P3. That is, Phil Spencer’s. Again and again. And alongside him, the whole community has followed suit, as a way of telling him what they think about his executive decisions: you shut down our games, we bombard your (virtual) house.

This week, Phil Spencer once again revealed himself as one of the biggest villains in the video game industry. The closure of Bethesda studios, including Tango, the creators of ‘Hi-Fi Rush’, has left many players feeling powerless, who have only been able to express their disagreement through ‘Helldivers 2’-style criticism bombardments… or by directly attacking the Microsoft executive.

He is a Philcionado

Obviously, he hasn’t been hit with eggs in the face or challenged to a boxing match: it has been much more subtle. And it is that currently the ‘Fallout’ saga is experiencing an impressive resurgence, as we all know, thanks to the Amazon Prime Video series. ‘Fallout 76’, in particular, as an online multiplayer game, is receiving a new wave of fans, who generally act in good faith.

Until one has decided to mercilessly bomb a particular camp: P3. That is, the one of Phil Spencer. Over and over again. And along with him, the whole community has followed his example, as a way of telling him what they think about his executive decisions: you close our games, we bomb your (virtual) house. Besides, it’s not exactly easy to access nuclear missiles in the game: you have to do a good handful of side missions to get there.

If you want to do something like this, it is certainly because you have thought about it thoroughly and calmly. When interviewed, the author of the initial attacks, real1090jake, stated that it is nothing personal, just “a personal goal after finishing the game”. In fact, he had been thinking about it for weeks and now, finally, he saw the perfect moment. Honestly? This is the least Spencer deserves after laying off so many professionals. It seems like too little to me.
