Atomfall devs don't mind Fallout comparisons "because it's got that post-apocalyptic quarantine zone atmosphere," just like Bethesda's RPGs do

As Rebellion Developments gears up for the long-awaited 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Atomfall release later this month, lead designer Ben Fisher says the studio doesn't mind fans' Fallout comparisons – in fact, the game has a lot in common with oth꧅er beloved titles, too.

It's no secret that Fallout: New Vegas is a big inspiration for Atomfall, but how do developers feel about the upcoming survival-action blend being compared to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bethesda Game Studios' RP꧂G series so often? According to Fisher, it makes sense.

"Fallout is an obvious point of reference foꦿr some people," he admits, "becau♏se it's got that post-apocalyptic quarantine zone atmosphere."

"It's almost like a mic꧑ro🐓 genre in itself," continues Fisher, "because you've got Fallout, Metro, Stalker – they cover similar ground, but from different cultural perspectives. There's touches of lots of different games in [Atomfall]."

Some of these include other gems published by Bethesda, like Prey, while others diverge into entirely separate genres – even Soulslikes, thanks to their "open structure where 🥂the player's trusted to piece things together themselves."

Fisher goes on to cite 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dark Souls as an example of a game in which players "might wander into trouble and die" even after seeing warning signs – much like in Atomfall. Ultimately, as the dev describes, a game like Atomfall ends up a product of many other predecessors and nဣot just one, despite the similarities. "When you're trying to piece together something new, you pull from as many different reference points as you possibly can."

Do fans taking note of such similarities and drawing comparisons cause resentm💞ent? No, says Fisher – the devs are cool with that.

"As long as people are interested enough tꦚo come along and take a look at the game and then make their own judgment call based on what's actually in the game, definitely."

There's thank🎶fully not long left now until p♚layers finally do get to experience Atomfall, either, with March 27 right around the corner.

Here are some of our most exciting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new games this year and beyond to keep an eye on.
