I think it will share the mods available on PC, sans the script extenders and engine plug-ins and other things that just wouldn't work. Also things like hi-res texture updates because then you start to degrade the performance of the game. I'm also curious how they're going to make it so there's a proper load order. I suspect the mods will be analyzed by Bethesda and then, for lack of a better term, idiot proofed so they can easily be downloaded, installed, and run without crashing the game or causing much performance degradation.

It takes place in Boston right? If that's so then Boston seems a US city in fashion gamewise, as the first part of The Last of Us took place there as well.

When I first read about Fallout 4 they said the game was taking place in the Capital Wasteland again, then they said in the Mojave again and now it's East Coast and Boston. I would've preferred it had it been in California again like in Fallout 1 and 2.

Hell I never even knew that there was going to be a Shenmue 3 after all this time, I loved the first two games on Dreamcast but to release a sequel after almost 15 years seems kind of strange, are they going to recap the first two games to new players?

I would also prefer a California desert environment, but I think that's because I'm more a Fallout 1/2 purist. I also like the idea of a post apocalypse world taking place in a desert, but I also acknowledge that that era of Fallout is done and I have Wasteland 2 to get my fix. With any luck Obsidian or another studio on the west coast of the United States will do a New Vegas-esque spinoff using the same engine and gameplay as Fallout 4 but putting it in a different location.

As far as Shenmue 3 is concerned, nobody knew there was going to be one. Sony just announced it along with a Kickstarter at their press conference, and the announcement actually crashed Kickstarter. I never played the originals because I never owned a Dreamcast but I have heard that people have a great fondness for them for being ahead of their time. Apparently that's the game where quick-time events happened.

I'm still gathering my thoughts on companies using Kickstarter as a means to fund projects, or as recent Kickstarters like Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night have been using them to prove public interest in the game. I can kind of understand it to a degree, especially if you've already got a publisher willing to put up 90% of the funds, but I do think these things muddy the true costs of game development and can help cause new IPs and Kickstarters to fail because their audience doesn't understand why they are asking for certain amounts, when others have got by on less. I mean the original Shenmue reportedly cost 47 million to make so the idea that 2 million is going to cover the costs of a full 3D successor is pretty ludicrous.

I would not be surprised at all if Ubisoft did this next year for Beyond Good & Evil 2 though.

I've recently played both Fallout 1 and 2 and when fore example you look at the Fallout Wiki it's easily the most developed region of the Fallout world over the largest area, because Fallout 3 and NV covered quite small areas in comparison. I now remember that they were thinking of doing a Fallout in San Francisco when would've been ideal as this is an area where NCR, Brotherhood of Steel and Shi are all different factions.

How does Wasteland 2 compare to the Fallout games in quality?

They were the flagship games of the Dreamcast when it came out, the first game was set in Japan and the second in China. I actually preferred the first one as it captured the essence of a Japanese urban and suburban environment perfectly (based on what I've seen in films etc) The QTE were unique and I think the first game that had them, there were some other novelties as well, some didn't work but some like the QTE did.

Now I'm interested in this a lot and it would get me to play the first one again, as I only kind of half played it before.

Basically it's a nicer, more nuanced version of those games. More variety, better tactical mechanics, and some really interesting choices that need to be made. While the Fallout series was a spiritual successor to the original Wasteland, it really does feel like Wasteland 2 is the spiritual successor to the first two Fallout games.

It's on my long list to play and should get on it towards the end of the year. I've seen it's based in Arizona and Los Angeles, so it covers the same physical area of Fallout 1 and 2 to a degree.

This game looks pretty fantastic:
