‘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.
Thanks to PCGamer for the heads up.
