Omny Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 One of the things I love most about Fallout, and what makes it so unique among other franchises, is its blend of both post-apocalyptia and retro-futurism. But with very few exceptions, I never see this same sort of aesthetic reflected in mods. Almost every mod for new weapons, when it isn't a 100% accurate modern-day rifle, looks more like it belongs in Mass Effect or Halo, with clean, smooth metal panels, hexagonal grid patterns, and/or loads of black and grey color schemes. We need more retro sci-fi stuff! Ray guns, bubble helmets, pointy shoulder pads, those floaty ring things around everyones' limbs you see on The Jetsons... all that kind of stuff. I mean, I love all the more "modern" sci-fi aesthetics too, don't get me wrong, but Fallout's Retro-Futurism is its greatest charm; we should embrace it. Here are a few of the "exceptions" I mentioned earlier: Nuka Gear Craftable Arcade Machines Star Trek Phaser Vintage Alien Blaster Rebuild Any thoughts?

Rabbit1251 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 With the dearth of Retro Sci-Fi mods on the Nexus that leaves a lot of room for you to fill in the holes. After all, the Creation Kit is just a couple of clicks away. Happy modding!! http://www.creationkit.com/fallout4/index.php?title=Main_Page The Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montky Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 well said there!it is a facet which is fun of FO. there was for a brief time,a MIB weapon mod here on nexus.it had the noisy cricket, the de-atomiser, the heavy de-atomiser, the MIB china lake and the MIB bazooka.it is now unlisted as some people had some issues with it and were very vocal. there was a similar flash-gordon parts mod.that with "any weapon, any mod" mod is AWESOME!the bioshock parts mod was less fun - they didn't scale the parts correctly,so it looks weird.. they're all tiny. forgotten weapons channel has a lot of implement which resemble that look, awaiting moddage. hopefully, more capable modders willteam up -collaboration makes many hands for lighter work eh? my mod fu is weak, i may be able to contribute some SFX or so,yet coding in FO4? not as much ehhehe.

Flash Gordon weapons? Is that still here? Or is that on another nexus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montky Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 @Omnyyou have to be quick these days tocatch some of these mods.I acquired the Flash Gordon parts mod FO4 here,also MIB weapon pack v,0,38a here. they work with Any Mod Any Weapon,though, they're also in the random spawn lists etc...so, be careful, it will make your game much more difficult.much like the Mk22 50cal SAW weapon. I heard there was going to be a DUNE weapon pack parts and all too...some of those would fit the look you quest for eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, were those supposed to be links? Because they're not working. If they weren't supposed to be links just tell me the title of the mod and I'll look it up that way.

Wait, what? What kind of issues? Was there unauthorized content or textures or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
