➀ The popularity of Fallout surged when Bethesda acquired the IP and transformed it from an isometric view to an open-world shooter. The isometric perspective can be off-putting for those who didn't grow up with CRPGs, leading to few revisiting the original Fallout games. A new mod, Fallout: Bakersfield, aims to change that by remaking the original Fallout 1 story in a DOOM style shooter.
➁ The mod, developed by Alexander Berezin, is said to be about 60% complete, with no concrete release date yet. The latest trailer gives a glimpse of what to expect, but there is still much work to be done.
➂ Fallout: Bakersfield was first announced in 2022, and while it has taken two years to reach the 60% completion mark, it doesn't guarantee a quick completion.
