ForsakenWarrior Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 I appreciate the idea but the type of show I'm going for is going to take place in a set location with the same characters and art style. Each game is big enough to satisfy like 3-4 seasons Fallout 4 and New Vegas especially and include mods and dlc the number only increases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you designing these videos for the general public, or are you designing them only to be watched by a small limited niche market of followers?

ForsakenWarrior Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 For public. I would try to put it on a site for machinima type videos but aside from Gorilla Gong such a site doesn't exist. Youtube will have to be my designated field.

Only a very small niche market or people are still going to click on a New Vegas video. Probably a lot of people from this site who have been modding it for years, but not very many people in the general public.

ForsakenWarrior Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 That's a very good point, but my question is- When fall rolls around will Fallout 4 still be popular enough to warrent the support for an ongoing series? That could last a few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could last a few years? I can't read the future, but based on the pattern of Oblivion < Fallout 3 < Skyrim... Then it is pretty safe to assume Fallout 4 modding is going to be bigger and last longer than Skyrim. Every Bethesda release has just gotten bigger in the modding community, and Skyrim was a monumental leap forward in modding. So far, based on what Skyrim had before the release of the Creation Kit, Fallout 4 is hands down more popular. I don't see anything to suggest this pattern won't continue and that the Fallout 4 modding community will be thriving for at least 4 years. If you are doing stuff that is going to involve companion characters, both 'djjohnjarvis' and 'llamaRCA' who made the most popular companions for Skyrim and New Vegas respectively, have both said they are working on Fallout 4 companions. Trainwiz is doing a big quest mod. There are a lot of established mod authors already hard at work. MXR, who has over a million subscribers doing only videos of modded games has said that he expects to be doing at least 200 episodes of Fallout 4 Mods Weekly because he expects it to be every bit as long running as his Skyrim Mods Weekly series. Using Fallout 4 would be like releasing your work on a popular TV station. Using New Vegas would be like having one of those Indie movies that are only shown at select Hipster theaters with only one screen be the main showcase of your work. It isn't even monumentally a close decision for me. Stick with New Vegas if you want to make a few hardcore fans happy but be ignored by the general public. Stick with Fallout 4 if you want YouTube views. Edited February 26, 2016 by TeamBacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipperken Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) So they are in the same'ish time span, give a wee lenience?I mean, seeing we're slighty over 200 years past the war, that is.

Moksha8088 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Gamerpoets has done an excellent job with this video genre in both Skyrim (Tales of Paxton) and Fallout 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI_JO2VWSXI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsakenWarrior Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 That's actually not TOO far off what I'm trying to do Moksha8088, except more immersive and story driven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
