Given the ever-changing nature of technology and cultural tastes, the gaming industry is no stranger to seeing well-known franchises change their gameplay style. This trend has inspired fans to visualize what various franchises might look like if they changed genres, including an isometric Mass Effect and Animal Crossing as a Fantasy RPG. Fallout is perhaps one of the most famous franchises to undergo a major genre shift from isometric RPG to first-person shooter. Now, one fan has envisioned what the first classic Fallout game might have looked like if it started off as an FPS from the get-go.

И вновь Red888guns (Александр Берёзин) фантазирует на тему Fallout. На этот раз полёт мысли зашёл очень далеко и он представил, как бы выглядела первая часть известной серии от первого лица. pic.twitter.com/pqSc8udejG

DeviantArt user Red888guns recently shared their fan animation of what they imagined the first classic Fallout game would have looked like if it were an FPS instead of an isometric RPG. While some artists have made mods that brought Fallout 1 into the FPS world before, they mostly utilized the newer Fallout game graphics and user interfaces. However, this version looks to blend the original game’s 90s art style with FPS structures of the era to imagine if Interplay Productions made the first game this way instead.

The animation is quite impressive how closely it resembles 1997 video game aesthetics, right down to the slight grainy effect. This really does feel like a peek into an alternate dimension, much like our current situation in the world feeling like an alternate version of the Fallout universe.
