A spooky improvements, according to a Fallout 76 designer.
Fallout 76 was launched back in Fall 2018, garnering mixed reviews. The game was positioned as a massive online multiplayer version of a newly released Fallout Worlds feature have added a lot to the game in of player agency and control.
A Fallout 76 player known as Wanderess has harnessed the C.A.M.P. system to create a fun recreation of Bates Motel, from Alfred Hitchcock's legendary film Psycho. In a series of screenshots posted to Twitter, Wanderess shows off a selection of the hotel's rooms. The spaces are filled with creepy mannequins and kitsch Americana. Wanderess appears to have committed to the idea of having this be a hotel, with some of the rooms featuring both twin and full beds. A lounge and lobby have also been built.
The world of Fallout might actually be the perfect match for something like the Bates Motel, as the games' eerie theme and run-down aesthetic align with the haunting and claustrophobic architecture of Hitchcock's fictional motel. Of course, the Fallout games take a much more fantastical approach to horror than the 1960s classic, with science-fiction staples like mutations featuring in Fallout 76. Still, there is some synergy between the two properties.
The jury is still out on whether Fallout 76 is a game that can stand alongside Bethesda's other instant classics like Minecraft. This Bates Motel build is a great example of the kinds of unique creations players can craft in the game, and is hopefully a sign of more cool content to come.
Fallout 76 is currently available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
