The game is a full remake of the original 1997 isometric RPG, this time from a 2D perspective. It's aptly titled Fallout 2D, with the Gatling Laser gameplay posted by Redditor MaxRocker, a developer on the project. There's no doubt that it looks extremely impressive, as the protagonist tears their way through hordes of ghouls in the satisfying footage. One thing the project hasn't touched upon yet is the player choice in Fallout. This element is such a crucial part of Fallout games, and it's currently unknown if the developer is planning to include player choice in any way.
More gameplay from the Fallout 2D project emerged in March, showing off some Vault 15 footage while evoking side-scrollers of the past, such as Metroid. The swift progress of the project is obvious - previous gameplay footage was focused on small 1v1 combat encounters, whereas now the developer feels comfortable enough to show the player fighting plenty of enemies at once. It speaks to the huge progress the combat system has made in such a short space of time, and it'll be exciting to see how it evolves even further in the coming months.
