Mind-Blowing Fallout-Themed DOOM Mod: One of the Coolest Ever

Sure thing. Here’s a raw and somewhat chaotic take:

So, here’s the thing. Being into Fallout these days is like—well, it’s complicated. Fallout 76 didn’t exactly blow us away at the start, but hey, it’s gotten better. Way better, actually. Oh, and that Fallout TV show? Total blockbuster, already gearing up for Season 2 in December. But, here’s the kicker, folks: we’re still stuck waiting for a new single-player RPG. Fallout 4, believe it or not, is like… ancient. We might not see Fallout 5 until the next decade rolls in. Why? Because Bethesda’s knee-deep in The Elder Scrolls 6 first. Yeah.

Anyway—wait, no—back to the good part. Fallout’s fans are kind of amazing. They’re always cooking up cool stuff. Mods everywhere! Like this new trailer that popped up last week… It’s for something called Fallout: Bakersfield. Seriously, might be the coolest mod ever. Check it out if you haven’t. Super worth it.

Okay, so Fallout: Bakersfield. The name pretty much tells you it’s set in Bakersfield, California. If that doesn’t ring a bell, it was Necropolis in the first game. You know, the “City of the Dead” with all the ghouls hanging around. Some Vault 13 dweller is the star here, and seeing Harry the super mutant makes me think—are you the main guy from Fallout 1 or maybe Talius, the scout? Intriguing, right?

So now, the gameplay. Picture a mash-up of those classic Fallout vibes and old-school DOOM shooting. They crafted a UI that screams both Fallout and DOOM. Honestly, the trailer and gameplay clips are jaw-dropping. Just watch them—my words won’t do it justice.

Plus, the graphics? Pure art. Retro but sharp. It does this neat “2.5D” thing—like using 2D sprites in 3D spaces. Total throwback to those pixel-y days of Fallout 1. Gunplay looks sick, too. You’ve got all the favorites: 10mm SMG, Flamer, Plasma Pistol—there’s light destruction, looting, and even dialogue choices. Yes, please!

And let’s talk animation. It’s got this charmingly quirky style, like a nod to the shooters of yesteryear. Sound effects? Straight out of the original Fallout. Love it.

Hold up—a sec. This mod? Hands down, one of the most impressive pieces of fan work I’ve stumbled across. Don’t hold your breath for a release date though. Still in the works, about 60% done. Buildings, critters, weapons—getting there, piece by piece.

Meet the brains behind it: Alexander “Red888Guns” Berezin and Denis Berezin. They’re doing this purely for the love, not the bucks. Seriously, they’ve even turned off monetization on YouTube. But if you’re feeling generous, they’ve got a Boosty page. A couple bucks for some behind-the-scenes peeks? Sign me up. Support the dream!

Mods like Fallout: Bakersfield? They’re magic. They explore paths the big guys might skip. Keeps the scene fresh while we twiddle our thumbs for the next big official drop. Who would’ve thought a trip to Bakersfield could be this exciting?
