Ah, being a Fallout fan these days… it’s a wild ride, right? I mean, Fallout 76 isn’t the dumpster fire it once was — it’s actually pretty decent now. And the TV show’s a blast, like surprisingly good stuff, with Season 2 dropping in December. But let’s face it, it’s been ages since Fallout 4, and who knows when we’ll get Fallout 5. Probably when we’re all living on Mars or something, with Elder Scrolls 6 coming first. Typical Bethesda.
But hey, the Fallout community? Legends. They’re out there cooking up these killer mods to keep us entertained. Like, have you heard of Fallout: Bakersfield? Totally stumbled on it — mind-blowing. Doom and Fallout mashed into one? Yes, please. Skip my rambling and go watch the trailer. Seriously, stop reading, watch it.
Anyway, Bakersfield… so, it’s set in California’s Necropolis. Remember that place? Ghoul central from the first Fallout. You get to be a Vault 13 dweller, and there’s a chance you might bump into Harry the super mutant. Flashbacks much?
It’s like Fallout meets Doom, a crazy mix that’s pure nostalgia. UI’s got this cool retro-futuristic vibe — smacks of old-school RPGs and Doom action. Wanna get immersed in Fallout 1’s dusty pixel world? This is your jam. Plus, they’ve thrown in Fallout 1’s weapons. Plasma Pistol, 10mm SMG — old friends, you know?
Okay, picture this — you’re blasting ghouls, breaking stuff just for kicks, rummaging through containers, and having tiny chats instead of just pew pew. And the graphics! It’s that 2.5D charm, kinda like paper cut-outs running around a 3D space. Crunchy sound effects straight from Fallout 1 make it even better.
Right, so when’s it out? Well, no clue. They’re about 60% done, which feels like a tease. Everything from mutants to walls is partially cooked, but I’m keeping a hopeful eye on progress. Alexander “Red888Guns” Berezin and Denis Berezin are the magicians behind this, and they’ve got a Boosty page if you wanna toss some coins their way. Though they insist they’re not in it for the cash — pretty refreshing these days, honestly.
I’ve decided to drop them a few bucks. Why not, right? It’s like fueling dreams, letting thinkers think outside the box. While the big guys are busy counting pennies, these creative folks keep the spirit alive. Mods like Bakersfield remind us why we love these worlds — gives us something while we’re biting our nails for official stuff. If you’re as pumped as I am, jump on this ride.
