Fallout: New California is a massive prequel mod to Fallout: New Vegas, out now
Fallout 76 may be on the horizon, with Bethesda preemptively warning players of ‘spectacular’ bugs, but fans hungry for a more traditional, solo
Fallout New Vegas
In this first-person Western RPG, the player takes on the role of Courier 6, barely surviving after being robbed of their cargo, shot and put into a shallow grave by a New Vegas mob boss. The Courier s
Fallout: New California mod shows off one last teaser trailer ahead of release date announcement
New Vegas prequel mod Fallout: New California has released one last teaser trailer ahead of a release date announcement later this month. The hugely ambitious project has been in the works since 2013, and it's no wonder—it's creating a brand new story with 12 endings and more than 14,000 lines of voiced dialogue.It hit beta last month but it's still not openly available to play. The team still have a fair bit of work to do before open beta, but that should be "doable" before the end of the month, when we'll finally know when we'll get our hands on it.The trailer was stitched together from various clips taken by one of the testers, and it looks suitably impressive. It's nothing that couldn't be done in New Vegas, mind, but to see a brand new character stomping into the Mojave for the first time makes me want to reinstall the base game all over again. New California is set in the same game world, but it adds outposts that are specific
Fallout: New Vegas prequel mod enters beta after 9 years
Fallout: New California is an ambitious standalone prequel campaign mod for Fallout: New Vegas. We first caught wind of its existence in 2013—then known as Fallout: Project Brazil—despite it first being planned for Fallout 3. Now, after nine years of development, the project has entered its beta phase."So after many years, not only is BETA 200 playable from start to end credits with no major interruptions but it's stable and finally coming together as a finished thing," says project leader Brandan Lee is this ModDB update. "We still have bugs, and we still have defects, but it's approaching a level of polish you'd expect from a release ready product most of the time."Lee says that now New California is playable from start to finish, this is the first time he and his team have been able to step back and appreciate its scope. Against New Vegas' 65,000 lines of dialogue (a record at the time, says Lee) and Fallout 3's 40,000 lines, Ne

Fallout: New Vegas revisited: the most authentic 3D Fallout game
Left for dead, you wake up in the one-horse town of Goodsprings and begin a quest for vengeance in the Mojave Wasteland. That’s the beautifully simple setup for Fallout: New Vegas, which makes the vault sequence in Fallout 3, where you watch your character grow up, seem needlessly long-winded. After a quick chat with a local doctor, voiced by Saul Tigh from Battlestar Galactica, you’re set free. And it’s up to you whether you want to hunt down the people who tried to kill you, or just drift aimlessly around the desert like Clint Eastwood’s Man With No Name.The Mojave is a far cry from the grim, shattered ruins of the Capital Wasteland. This part of the United States wasn’t bombed quite so heavily, and has retained some colour and life over the centuries. Fallout 3 was a sea of blues and greys, but New Vegas sizzles with oranges and reds. It’s a more vibrant post-apocalyptic wasteland, but still tinged with the melancholy, desolate tone that defines

Fallout: Frontier trailer shows more of the ambitious New Vegas mod
Fallout: Frontier is an absurdly ambitious mod for Fallout: New Vegas that’s been in development for three years. The team has put out a new trailer to show off some of the progress that they’ve made, and it’s looking impressive. Frontier takes place in Portland, Oregon, in a space the size of the Mojave Desert. Like New Vegas, it’s a place of warring factions like the Legion and NCR, as well as the Scavengers, but unlike New Vegas is has working vehicles, aerial dog fights, harsher weather, trapping and hunting, and sprawling battles. Though it’s a work-in-progress, it looks like it’s nearing completion. Scripting needs the most work, according the the team’s progress tracker, but overall it’s nearly 75 percent done. I keep trying to get back into Fallout 4 so I can finish off all the DLC that I keep forgetting about, but now I might just wait until this is finished and jump back into New Vegas instead.
