Was the M16 even developed in the fallout universe?
View Quote


It appeared as the "service rifle," "assault carbine" and "marksman carbine" but not by the name AR-15 or M16 with the exception of Fallout Tactics

not bad for $400, but for $500 I'd probably build a system with either a 8 core FX or an i5 and a midrange AMD card. The alpha has an onboard GPU soldered on which can't be matched by a dedicated GPU.

Keep an eye out for the Alienware Alpha.  I picked mine up on sale for $399.  Popped an extra 4gb of mem to take it up to 8GB and I haven't played anything it can't handle. Pretty much all the games I own I can play at 1920x1080 with all the highest video quality settings.

Alienware Alpha at Best Buy

I agree, I wouldn't buy it at $500.  The onboard 860m is no slouch though.  It's a good piece of equipment for the money.

Its a laptop gpu. It's about as powerful as a very low end mainstream desktop gpu in reality.

Man, the fallout 4 pip boy edition is selling for shitloads on ebay.

I have an amazon pre-order in for it.

Do you think I would make more selling it now before launch day, or waiting until some time after?

yeah, I wish I'd bought more than one.

I need to start doing that with giant game releases like this. they always maintain at least the value of the game new. may as well speculate.

In related news, has any footage from quakecon leaked yet?  They had that place locked down tight from what I was reading, but I'm amazed that no one was apparently able to get anything.

You'd think with the huge demand for them that they would just commission a new order for the pip boys and sell them separately.

I'm sure people will "reverse engineer" them and there will be plans to make or even print your own, but that is a lot of work many people don't want to do.

Awesome.  I have never, in any game, gotten into the crafting stuff, because it always seemed like such a drag.  

This might change that.  I am glad that companies are starting to see that you can streamline elements without taking away from the depth of a game.  I think too many people associate "deep RPG" with clumsiness and awkward controls/interface.  It doesn't have to be like that.

That's not really how manufacturing works bro. If they want to make more they can make more. Period. What he said could be the result of a few different things. Maybe that very specific factory is booked out for production on other client's projects. Maybe the molds weren't good for any more decent units beyond that point. Maybe the factory would not make any more without increasing the unit cost. Etc etc. Maybe they didn't want to go to the trouble of setting up tooling/quality control in another factory or couldn't do so within a timeframe that was reasonable in reference to the release window for the game. They probably had these pip boys planned out several months in advance. If they were to start over from scratch, they may be uneasy about how long it will take to get them to the US and Europe because they are wary about lower demand if they can't get them to the market 2-3 months until after the game is out.



Basically, there is nothing stopping Bethesda from making more other than maybe some stupid issue of idiots screaming and crying about having paid eBay prices to get one from the neckbeards. Vocal morons scream about that shit on the Star Citizen forums and it makes me wanna Vader choke them through the internet for their special snowflake attitude. If they really wanted to make more Pip Boys they could.
