When it released in 2008, it shot the cult, former-isometric franchise to overnight stardom, but it was likely a long way from what the third entry would wind up. For you see, <em>Fallout 3<\/em> (codenamed <em>Van Buren<\/em> at one point) was once helmed by original developer Black Isle Studios, but was sadly cancelled several years before the <em>Elder Scrolls<\/em> creator took over.<\/p>    <p>Skip forward to today, and we now have a sort of revival of the game. Modders have brought this original concept to life, or at least their interpretation of what they felt it was going to be. As spotted by <a href=\"https:\/\/insider-gaming.com\/fallout-fans-play-van-buren\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Insider Gaming<\/a>, user PJ Hexer &#8220;and co&#8221; have unleashed <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nexusmods.com\/fallout2\/mods\/91?tab=description\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fallout Yesterday<\/a><\/em>, a mod for <em>Fallout 2<\/em> that purports to carry on what Black Isle never got to complete.<\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div   id="gqq8s83tkl"    class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Heya mutants,<br><br>we&#39;ve added Fallout Yesterday v0.6 to Nexus Mods. <br><br>If you are using the website, you can find us under Fallout 2&#39;s Total Conversion category or directly here: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t2zCmm6Q50\">https:\/\/t.co\/t2zCmm6Q50<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jsDtqGL5nT\">pic.twitter.com\/jsDtqGL5nT<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fallout: Yesterday (@fallout_y) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fallout_y\/status\/1810693481985085584?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 9, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script> <\/div><\/figure>    <p>The mod is described as a &#8220;fan-made implementation of the original, canceled <em>Fallout 3<\/em>,&#8221; which has been built inside the second game&#8217;s engine. As a result, it retains the more isometric, turn-based approach that the series was originally known for back in the 1990s.<\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-as-it-was-maybe-intended\">As it was (maybe) intended<\/h2>    <p><em>Fallout Yesterday<\/em> boasts a brand-new storyline (no doubt taking cues from the long-dead <em>Van Buren<\/em> project), multiple races, traits and perks, new items, weapons, locations, and plenty more to be getting on with. The modders describe it as the &#8220;biggest <em>Fallout<\/em> game ever.&#8221; Whether they&#8217;re referring to Black Isle&#8217;s intended vision or this particular mod remains to be seen.<\/p>    <p>If you have <em>Fallout 2<\/em>, this may be one to check out, especially if you pine for the days of the classic, role-playing shenanigans of a bygone PC era. To this end, older fans will appreciate what PJ Hexer and co have attempted to accomplish here.<\/p>    <p>The cancellation of <em>Van Buren<\/em> back in 2003 is definitely one of those &#8220;what if&#8221; situations. If this had made it to publication, it would have been the official third <em>Fallout<\/em> game. While it was allegedly going to be more 3D, it&#8217;s highly unlikely it would have been what we ended with after Bethesda took the reins. The closest we ever go to it, it seems, is this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nma-fallout.com\/resources\/van-burens-technical-demo.71\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tech demo from 2007<\/a>, which is described as being &#8220;extremely buggy.&#8221; I very briefly checked it out and, yeah, it&#8217;s definitely got the beginnings of one of the classics.<\/p>    <p>There are traces of the ill-fated<em> Fallout <\/em>all over the internet, mentioned in places like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/2017\/01\/27\/obsidian-ceo-reveals-fallout-3-that-never-released-a-ign-unfiltered\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IGN&#8217;s 2017 Obsidian interview<\/a> or the now-archived <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20120710092903\/https:\/\/www.videogamer.com\/xbox360\/fallout_new_vegas\/preview-2326.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VideoGamer<\/a><em> New Vegas<\/em> preview. As you can see, it was to retain the isometric look the earlier games in the series were known for, something that <em>Fallout Yesterday<\/em> also honors. There was also another attempt to revive the OG with the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/projectvanburen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Van Buren Project<\/a><\/em>, which just hammers home how much fans really wanted this to be a thing.<\/p>    <p><em>Fallout Yesterday<\/em> is probably the closest we&#8217;ll get to ever wondering whether Black Isle Studios&#8217; offering would have been as much of a mainstream success as the one we got. Especially given that <em>Fallout 3<\/em> is not related to the <em>Van Buren<\/em> storyline, according to what <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fallout_(franchise)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a> notes. Had the original released instead, we may never have gotten <em>Fallout 4<\/em>, <em>Fallout 76<\/em>, or even \u2013 GASP \u2013 <em>Fallout: New Vegas<\/em>; (irradiated) food for thought.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s not the original build, but it&#8217;ll
