Bethesda Planning New Fallout For 2010

I wonder if they'll work on a new Elder Scrolls on the side??? I sure hope so, I've got an itchin' for some dungeon crawling.


Ohh, I should read the full article before I post...

BGS are surely working on New Elder Scrolls content. If you're going to make money you might as well get both franchises out on the market.

wait...I just realized:  The advanced race that died out long before the Elder Scrolls games take place.....WAS US!   DUN DUN DUUUUUN

Well... alrighty. Hopefully the combat is actually fun this time around.

It should be called Old vegas just for the irony.

The real question is whether Jeff is in London, Ontario or London, England.

Great Obsidian the developer that ruins great game franchises aka. Kotor 2 and NWN2.

Fallout 3 was shit though so I don't see how it could get worse, maybe they can make great animations and combat unlike Bethesda and maybe their games wont crash if you have certain codecs installed.

Vegas, eh?  I wonder if it'll wind up looking like the sets from Resident Evil: Extinction?

"Great Obsidian the developer that ruins great game franchises aka. Kotor 2 and NWN2"

NWN2 is an awesome game.

I was under the impression Bethesda was also working on a new Elder Scrolls game.

With Obsidian developing the new Fallout, Speculation on Bethesda developing a new Elder Scrolls is going to be sparked.

I'm not sure I like the idea of the location.  It's basically right in the same location that the 2 fallouts were already located.  Fallout 2 took place around San Fransico and Reno.  If anything it might be a rehash of Fallout 2.  And considering how Fallout turned out, I have a bad feeling about this.

heres hoping they will put more than 5 quests in this one

I don't have a good feeling about this. Fallout 3 was..... okay. But it just never felt Fallout-ish. Hopefully Obsidian can bring back that Fallout feeling.

*Starts singing - You've lost that Fallout feeling, whoa oh oh, that Fallout feeling. You've lost that Fallout feeling! Now its gone, gone, gone, whoa oh oh!*

Good, Obsidian has a chance to give the Fallout series some justice. Bethslop should stick to making the Elder Scrolls series.

"heres hoping they will put more than 5 quests in this one "

You came all the way to London to say that? Now that is dedication.

I missed the part where Obsidian are developing this.  They had about a year to ramp up and crank out KOTOR2, and I was not a fan of that game.  Hopefully, Bethesda's code is easier to work work, and Obsidian gets more time for Quality Assurance testing this time around.

I'm not going to expect too much from Fallout Vegas.  My guess is that it'll be like a very large expansion pack, with a so-so story and quests.

Cool as it is that the former Black Isle guys (plus Matthew Rorie) are working on this, I wish Bethesda was, so that it would prevent them from making another shitty Elder Scrolls game.

Lol chill out PapaLazarou, Fallout 3 was a good game man, who cares if there were a couple of crash bugs.

I'm not sure that I actually want a new Fallout game, I'd be perfectly happy with some big bits of DLC for this Fallout game, give me a new city, some new weapons and perks and I'll give you my points.

EDIT: When did Vegas become the new Mars?  Every other game seems to be set there these days.  There must be a thousand cities in the world, pick another one!

i hope they are not abandoning Elder scroll.

Well this is a surprise I wonder if this means Bethesda is going to move on and work on the next Elder Scrolls Game.

I hope Elder Scrolls 5 is actually good... I hope they take it back to Morrowind standards...

I enjoy Obsidian's games. They bring more mature, thoughtful storyline....at the expense of some technical prowess. We'll see what happens with the game.

I love how many people didn't read the article past the first couple of sentences. I THOUGHT THEY WERE WORKING ON THE ELDER SCROLLS 5 TOO, MAN!

Also, what's with the Obsidian hate? KotOR 2 was awesome, it just... Had some bits... Missing. What was there was fun, at least.

its will be like fallout 3's vice city "

I keep waiting for Obsidian to regain its Black Isle Status. At this point, I like to think of them as Blizzard-esc employees who aren't given the luxury of taking their time. That's why a lot of their efforts seem incomplete. Blizzard would release shit games too if you rushed them. But yeah, hopefully between this and Alpha Protocol they get a little reputation repair.

Vegas a waste land...wait. What if its fine?!!!

Anyone have any suggestions for improvements to the engine?

And...  is Obsidian the group that made KOTOR II?  :/

Wow FNV might have ONE bugg less now that Obsidian is making it. The two buggiest(hehe) devs team up to make the buggiest game in history!!!!

Wait... what? Obsidian ruined NWN2? Those games were all pretty sweet. Not quite up there with the best games of the past, but certainly the best offerings of recent memory.

This is awesome news, but I wonder what style of Fallout they'll be going for? I loved Fallout 3, and the "Oblivion" style to the combat and other elements. I think Fallout works particularly well as an open world environment. At this point, I would rather see another game in that vein than an old timey top-down RPG.

Fallout 3 was horrible compared to Oblivion. I want more Elder Scrolls.

Thank god, at least this mean that Bethesda is almost certainly waiting to unveil the elder scrolls V... I was worried they would say they were working on another Fallout. Don't get me wrong Fallout 3 is great, but a fifth elder scrolls game would trounce any fallout sequel.

Well, considering obsidian entertainment is essentially Black Isle studios, (fallout 1 and 2 anyone?) you cant really go wrong here.  Neverwinter Nights 2 was actually really quite good, especially mask of the betrayer, and while I'll agree kotor 2 wasnt great, fallout is really THEIR game, so I'm sure it will be awesome.

Can someone please explain to me what it is about Elder Scrolls I'm missing?  I can't stand those games and their generic, boring, god-awful universe.

Well that's good news for Fallout players I guess.

-- God Bless.

Post-Apocalyptic Las Vegas?  Count me in!

I was hoping it would be set in New Angeles.

I'll take more of their stuff.  Don't really care if I'm in a forest and castles or in a burnt out city and sewers...I just love their stuff!

The one thing that Gamespot pointed out (that we didn't realize) is that Obsidian houses many of the developers who ORIGINALLY worked on Fallout back in 1997. It might be interesting to see what the old team brings to the modern franchise.

If it's a new Elder Scrolls game, you can expect it to be released in 2013-14. You can also expect it to have major bugs on release and have really crappy player animations.

OK, but it was a big complaint about how the wasteland was pretty boring to traverse in terms of what it looked like, but really, what else can you expect from a nuked place?  So we get to see the same thing in Vegas cuz its already like that and have a few casinos sprinkled in?  I want to see what they do with it.
