Games

A lot of people are doomer about Obsidian, but I still believe the series is in better hands when handled even by present Obsidian over Bethesda. Fallout is a big guilty pleasure series of mine, so I'm sure Obsidian would at minimum focus more on being an RPG than an almost extraction-shooter like modern Bethesda games are (not even saying it in a derogatory manner, I've come to enjoy 3/4 for that gameplay loop even if I prefer RPGs), and that's far more than I ever expected to come to the series. I had written it off as entirely dead to me, so even a mediocre Obsidian sequel is good news to me!

Horrible about the people laid off though, typical Microsoft bullshit.

if this ever comes out i will eat my hat

I hope they go the route of most disrespect and make a game based on the tv show

I still can't believe that it took corpos 5 years to have this big brain idea.

Might also have been pressure from Bethesda to keep that feather in their cap and not a lot of desire from Obsidian to push the issue while they had other things going for them anyway.

Now that it's a little more dire maybe Michael's Soft doesn't really care about stepping on studio leads' toes.

I got a bad feeling about a project cooked up in a state of desperation tho. But everything I'm saying is pure speculation anyways so I guess we'll see what's what when it's done.

Please for the love of god be good. Are first person RPGs allowed to be as good as F:NV anymore?

Fine, they made the last good Fallout game/property. 4, 76, and the show all sucked.

I watch the show but I don’t love it. It’s fine as a tribute or parody. I like that it exists. I just think as a show it sucks. I remember making fun of Silo as being Fallout but they never leave the Vault. It kinda is, but it’s so much better. Book ending sucks, hoping the show does better.

Honestly Fallout has always been a directionless series. Fallout 1 had a very clear focus; It was a Wasteland inspired CRPG that riffed on A Boy and His Dog. Then Fallout 2 was a disjointed sequel were all the locations were made separate from eachother and the story was basically just a continuation of Fallout 1. New Vegas then began to return to form; a Wasteland inspired First Person RPG that riffed on The Postman but then I think it ultimately got hampered by its need to follow up on Fallout 1 and 2. I also really dislike Avellone's inability to stop writing nihilist libertarians.

I've said this before but Fallout 4 came out in 2015. Fallout 3 came out in 2008, FNV 2010. If Obsidian has given 3 years development not 2. There could have had a sequel with the Fallout 4 engine and assets in 2018, 2021 and 2024. As well as FNV 2011 and another title 2014.

This is what was taken from us.

In particular Fallout 4 had so many nice clean assets that Obsidan could have depicted parts of the world that are rebuilt in contrast to the fringes. Unlike Fallout New Vegas where the NCR offices were still filthy and ruined trucks were stand-ins for working vehicles.

I havent liked outer worlds or avowed so its probably gonna be asscheeks.

Between avowed's lack of enemy variety and constant exposition dumps, I don't have a ton of confidence the current Obsidian's going to make a good fallout game. Especially when the decision to make the game is a reaction to budget and staffing cuts. Not a strong start

FALLOUT NEW RENO

i wonder if Tim Cain was there for avowed 2 or if fallout sequel was in the works months or a year ago when he moved.

I was pretty disappointed with Outer Worlds 1/2, but I actually enjoyed Avowed and loved Pillars of Eternity 1/2. This could be interesting if they actually take some risks and don't try to make it blandly appealing to everyone (though I'm not super optimistic about that). BG3's breakout shows that there is a market for relatively crunchy true RPGs with good writing and production values.

I doubt they'll set it there, but I feel Alaska is an untapped location given it's lore significance.

I remain skeptical on if they'll be able to deliver with the new game but I definitely have higher hopes than I do for a Bethesda Fallout game.

The game will probably be fun, but I doubt it will ever be as good as the original simply because in the original you are up against a time limit that you do not know about, and none of the other Fallouts, but especially the FPV ones, due to their open world nature and exploration, have had the balls to do that. There just simply aren't actually any stakes in the game when you have an infinite amount of time to level and acquire items before you confront the final boss.

Probably be good for a couple playthroughs, and hopefully the dialogue is as fun as it was in FNV.

At a guess, this is probably because Micro$oft is breathing down Todd Howard's neck for Elder Scrolls 6 and they realise, given Starfield's development saga, that Bethesda isn't gonna be free do a new Fallout anytime soon. Why have Obsidian make a followup to Avowed when they could rush out a Fallout to capitalise on the next season of that fuckass TV show?

Nobody should be excited for this, however, as Outer Worlds was utterly forgettable and Obsidian likely won't come close to a New Vegas 2.

Also Fallout (1997) is the only good one.
