Fallout style isometric RPG with retro-futuristic flying cars

If you are missing the old school classic Fallout, one of the best classic PC games in its isometric RPG format, we have good news for you. New Blood Interactive, the development team behind games like the FPS shooter Dusk, is creating a retro-futuristic game inspired by the early days of the Fallout series, and the head of the studio has just shared exciting new footage of the game in action. . .

Dave Oshri uses the common hashtag “Screenshot Saturday” used by many game developers to showcase their progress on upcoming games, as an opportunity to showcase the team’s work towards their goal of creating a “living, breathing, retro- Futuristic (but sometimes seedy)”. world for NB RPG”, as yet unnamed project.

“That means a lot of flying cars,” says Oshri. We see a large, sleek silver car floating outside what appears to be a movie theater referencing Blade Runner and the first-person shooter New Blood Fallen Aces. He also looks at some of the tall buildings, cropping them to show the interior before showing the full stairway they go up.

We’ll see tests of lip syncing and a Pip-Boy-style UI used for talking head conversations that will look very familiar to those of you who have played the old Fallout games. The character models look deliciously detailed, with one figure wearing a rather peculiar headset that strikes a balance between “biometric scanner” and “VR headset.”

There are also test models and animations for a variety of weapons, from familiar faces like the M16, revolver, and Half-Life’s beloved crowbar, to futuristic, almost alien blasters that contain bubbles of green liquid that fizz and sizzle with energy when fired. fired. . Finally, we see some concepts for a magazine with blank pages ready to be filled with all the notes and sketches you will make during your detective work.

The team behind this new RPG should definitely interest fans of these retro classics. Features Adam Lacko, who created Project Van Buren (a recreation of the isometric RPG originally envisioned as Fallout 3), Alexander Berezin, who created the artwork for the massive Fallout: Sonora mod project, and composer Mark Morgan , whose soundtracks from the first two Fallout games still affect the results of modern games.

Oshri concludes her update by saying, “Follow me for more random updates on my dream game that we may or may not complete,” adding a little emoji at the end. Here’s hoping it eventually does, because everything we’ve seen so far only makes us crave more delicious treats.
