10 Video Games That Could Sell Millions As A Different Genre

10. Fallout: Survival Horror

The general consensus about Fallout 76 brings the phrase 's**t-show' to mind.

For a moment though, let's ignore the recurring bugs, game crashing, reused assets, overpriced cosmetics, moldy helmets, and not-canvas bags. You still have the issue that long-time Fallout fans didn't get the narrative dream they were hoping for and MMO fans didn't get the cooperative experience inside a post-apocalyptic setting they were hoping for. In the end no one who wanted the game got what they were hoping for, really.

But what if - instead of a bland, emotionless landscape of PvP loot-grinding, Fallout 76 had instead been a survival horror game? Imagine if the story had, instead, been along the lines of - a Vault where irradiated, infected raiders and Scorched beasts made it into the Vault. You play as one of the few survivors trying to reclaim the vault by clearing it out, or escape a lost cause.

If we're going to have a Fallout game with no human NPCs to interact with, why not make it a dark, scary romp through one of the control vaults that is falling apart, right? Armed with insufficient ammunition and a pip-boy, can you survive The Vault?
