Xbox wants the next Fallout game to come sooner, it's claimed
- Thread starter TheBlackSwordsman
- Start date
- Rumor Microsoft
Please don't do this. I would rather them remake F1&2 to be like F3+.
It wouldn't even have to be a Fallout 5. A solid spinoff by Obsidian would make everyone happy.
I would kill for Obsidian to put Outer Worlds 2 on pause(only pause) and get started on a new Fallout.
However, I do not want them forced to do something they don't want to do. If they prefer to continue on in Outer Worlds then I'll take it.
I'd also kill for Bethesda to get a Fallout 5 out ASAP but not at the expense of Elder Scrolls.
I don't want anyone to even bother with a classic Fallout experience tbh.

Thems fightin' words! We had plenty of Bethesda like fallouts. Gimme a fallout CRPG made by the wasteland 3 team!
change redfall so it takes place in a wasteland and call it Fallout 4.2
i do wonder if you could do something with wasteland, i've never really heard anyone talk about or play the game but i really dropped off after playing an hour of wasteland 3.

The co founder of Something Wicked Game was the the Design Director of TOW, and also the lead area designer of New Vegas. An easy demonstration of how this way of thinking development can be flawed.
surely trying to rush a game due to a temporary rise in popularity for money reasons will turn out well
I don't know, all I know is they don't know how to steer the ship or read the room.
They should have been doing this years ago, they spent an extra year on Starfield, imo it was a wasted year. A year lost that could have been working on something else.
Ah I like Wasteland, for some reason I used to love F1&2, but since the switch I really can't replay them. I just expect the Bethesda exploration and immersion now. I would gladly take a new Wasteland 4 though!
Cancelling the games already in development is the only realistic way to do it in a timely fashion to land around the TV show, and we shouldn't be rooting for games to be cancelled just because they aren't Fallout.
Currently making their own immersive sim with Clockwork Revolution
Why would they do that when TOW 2 has already been in development for 3-5 years and is probably 1-2 years away from releasing? Hit new IPs don't come around very often and it's a good thing they invested in it immediately post-acquisition.
They should definitely be having a word with some of their other dev teams to see if they'd be interested in getting something out relatively soon, in time for season 3 or 4 of the show or something.
It's kinda crazy how the main Bethesda studio that works on these games only has 450 employees, the wait between games is only going to get longer and longer if they don't expand or let others work on their IP's.

That would take 6 years or more. Might as well wait for Fallout 5 at that point.
Fallout has a soul, it has charm, it has everything Starfield and Elder Scrolls seem to lack.
Essentially it's commercially marketable beyond the video game crowd.
You can't make a successful tv show out of Starfield and Elder Scrolls.
Skyrim is the 7th best selling game of all time, so based on the commercial argument, TES VI being cancelled in favour of Fallout makes no sense.
The TV show isn't the be all and end all. They have to do right by their gaming IPs even if they don't have a TV show or movie.
Anything good will take 6 years or more, except for straight remasters.
TES has "soul". It's extremely marketable, maybe you missed them constantly rereleasing Skyrim, or how Skyrim has consistently been in the most played games list for over a decade.
Obsidian are busy. They already have Avowed and Outer Worlds 2. Also if it was clear enough after Starfield something needs to give on the engine front. There wont be another Fallout game til like Season 4 of the show.
Best option for quick release would be Remakes of FO3 and FONV.

Obsidian has two games (that we know of) already in the works. How are they going to make another NV like Fallout?
A good CRPG doesn't take 6 years. And certainly doesn't need a 200m budget.
Agreed, MS likes to do their hands off shit, but they should have saw this as a problem day 0 and been working with Bethesda to expand a new team.
Skyrim is a LOT more successful than Fallout 4 wtf
Hope the hype from the show pass before they ruin Obsidian lol
Even if they had expanded the team the moment they acquired them, they still wouldn't be anywhere close to getting a new Fallout out.
Yeah it's definitely a problem that should have been solved awhile ago.
Closer. It's relative, instead of where we are now with nothing in sight, not even teased just rumblings that they want something.
Yeah, I think the solution here is a smaller scale game. I agree with the people looking at Fallout 1 and Fallout 2; they could remake those games with the same top down perspective as Baldur's Gate 3, keep the same story and content, and add new stuff on top of it. I just played FO1 and loved it but I feel like there's a lot of people who can't go back to the cruft.
Pumping out a CRPG isn't wise. They arent the most "modern" type game people would be expecting. I'd say they want to do this to capture the magic of the TV show, and CRPG's will do the opposite. ( I say this as someone who likes CRPG's).
Sure but it still wouldn't have got something out in time for the TV show.
Not if it's a CRPG like Baldurs Gate 3, but that would take the same time
Yeah I'm not claiming it would have. I'm saying they could be better positioned for something sooner.
lol that article is literally nothing.
Even if a studio started tomorrow the game would still be 5 years out. But still, common sense and the quest for clicks doesn't go hand in hand

Because they released Skyrim 500 times with the remasters and next gen versions.
They released New Vegas how many times? They released Fallout 3 how many times? Once
Skyrim sold as much as it did because it was a great game and a cultural phenomenon, not because it was re-released a bunch. It was re-released a bunch BECAUSE it sold so well.
It's gonna be a long time before "Fallout 5" comes out. If Todd is not ready to do "Fallout 5 and Msoft doesn't give their full support to his next Elder Scrolls game, to focus on getting a Fallout game with another studio 'cause they are caught up in the craze, I bet we see Todd walk away and retire early.
What? The article is literally nothing and I doubt even Activision in their worst incarnation would have forced a studio to crunch for years on end!
The definition of concern the post
Skyrim has also been above Fallout (including the biggest selling one F4) on the most played games for a while now. It's not just bc of them rereleasing it, in fact I would say it's the other way around. They keep rereleasing it bc it's the most popular game they got.
They should have done a Metroid Prime Remaster style thing for 3.
When you talk about capitalising on the sudden extra interest in your franchise you're usually talking about new fans, and those fans probably wouldn't even know 3 wasn't the newest game... they'd just see new Fallout on the game store shelf and say "Cool, the latest release of that thing I now like!" *buy*
Drop the 3 if need be?

It's not inconceivable that Skyrim alone has outsold the entire Fallout franchise lol (or at least got close)
