‘Doom’ Meets ‘Fallout’ in Total Conversion Mod ‘Fallout: Bakersfield’ [Trailer]
Mixing Doom and a remake of the original Fallout? That’s what developer Alexander “Red888guns” Berezin is doing with Fallout: Bakersfield, a non-commercial total conversion for Doom that just had a new trailer drop, showing off the 1997 classic from an up close and personal perspective. Originally revealed three years ago, Berezin has stressed that this project is not to generate financial profit of any kind for its creators, but if you’d like to send a tip their way, you can do so through Boosty.
Unlike its turned-based inspiration, Fallout: Bakersfield is instead an FPS campaign built in the GZDoom Engine. What’s more, Berezin has gone the extra mile to recreate that grungy look and feel of the original Fallout games, which sadly has been missing from the Bethesda-helmed entries since Fallout 3. The interface alone is a thing of beauty, feeling like it was ripped right from the first Fallout.
From the trailer, Fallout: Bakersfield takes place in the Necropolis area of the original Fallout, which means there are plenty of ghouls for you to gun down. In fact, the game appears to be a retelling of the series of events from the original game, which includes you facing off against the super mutant Harry, the leader of the super mutants in Necropolis.
Berezin states at the end of the trailer that the mod itself is around 60% complete, and while no release date has been announced for the mod, a “??/??/202?” date can be seen at the end.

LKA Delves Deeper Into the Horror of ‘When Sirens Fall Silent’ in New Presentation [Video]
During the Day of the Devs: Summer Game Fest Edition, publisher Wired Productions and developer LKA released a three-minute developer presentation for psychological horror game When Sirens Fall Silent, offering players a deeper look into the mystery, characters, and unsettling world of the upcoming psychological thriller.
Following two creative story-based cinematic reveals (which you can watch here and here) that introduced the game’s atmosphere, themes, and central mystery, LKA Founder and Director Luca Dalcò guides viewers further into the world of the forgotten people, revealing more of what awaits players as they uncover the truth behind a series of kidnappings and murders.
From the creators of Martha is Dead, When Sirens Fall Silent casts players as Mila, a policewoman in early 1990s Rome, Italy. Haunted by a past she’s desperate to escape, Mila is thrust into a high-profile case of kidnappings and murders. As the investigation unravels, you must not only save her from herself, but also from being consumed by the violence, mystery and confusion.
Featuring a branching, multi-layered narrative dialogue system, with a huge focus on verbal and emotional interaction, investigation and subsequent choices, players will be faced with difficult real-world topics. LKA aims to “pull no punches” with its story, but also hints at a few surprises along the way.
When Sirens Fall Silent is currently in development for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
