Fallout: Bakersfield Trailer

Spotted this over at RPG Codex. It’s a total conversion of Doom from 1993, to, yeah, you know it: Fallout. What makes this stand out is that the creator has taken the bleak atmosphere from the first game, and essentially remade it into a first-person experience called Fallout: Bakersfield. So no happy-go-lucky 1950s aesthetics a la Bethesda here. It’s a pure apocalyptic wasteland hellscape that has more of a horror mood than anything else. The trailer, which you can see below, is awesome, and seems to indicate that it will be a mix between RPG elements and pure shooting. Two big thumbs up for the “Ry Cooder esque” guitar licks about one minute into the video.

Darkest Hour – The mod that refuses to die!

For those who don’t know, Darkest Hour is a fantastic stand-alone mod based on the classic WW2 shooter Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. That means it’s free to play on Steam if you own that game, and if you don’t, it’s usually crazy cheap to buy. Anyway, the mod creators have once again released a major expansion for their fabulous mod. This time Italy, with plenty of new weapons, maps, and vehicles matching the new campaign. It all looks absolutely stunning. Check out the trailer below for yourself. I’m going to give Darkest Hour a go again, after a long break. Maybe I will see you on the EU servers!

Wow. Busy month!

July, the month of releases for some reason. This will just be a quick post as a reminder that, apparently, you don’t have to sit indoors and do nothing but pour cold liquid down your gullet and survive in the sweltering heat. You can actually play a couple of new titles, while your skin melts off your body. Two RPGs, one X-com-lite, and one adventure game to pick from. So, some cooked skeleton gaming, anyone?

Space Scum – Battle Brothers in space?

Discovered this game over at RPG Codex, and after watching the trailer shown: I’m hyped! Space Scum looks to take the gameplay and visual style of Battle Brothers and set it in space. You know what that means? Having your own (doomed?) mercenary company fighting slimy aliens, horrifyingly disfigured mutants and robots hell-bent on human eradication (I presume). It seems to be open-world too, as the game promises a sandbox experience over at their Steam page, which can only be a good thing in this type of game. Now, we just hope the mercenary company mechanics match Battle Brothers too. That losing a couple of guys is not necessarily the death of the company. They are promising a demo soon in August, so I’m looking forward to that. Make sure to keep an eye out if you think Space Scum looks intriguing! Trailer after the jump.

First-Person Resident Evil 2 demo

Here is something unusual. A first-person demo of Resident Evil 2 (1998 version), which retains almost everything from the original third-person experience – from atmosphere to gameplay. It’s fascinating to see the game from this viewpoint, without it having been updated to make it feel and look like a modern title. Now, this demo is not new. Yet, it’s a first for me, and it left an impression. Meaning: I had to share. I have not downloaded and tried it for myself, as the video down below is enough for me. However, I’m always amazed what hobbyists mod and game-makers create out there in the world for us to enjoy! Take a look for yourself. The YouTuber HeyDudeitsMosh provides the video. If you want to try it yourself, you can find the creator Perro Autonomo over at itch.io with links.
