Obsidian has stated on multiple occasions that they'd like to make another Fallout game. I'd say there's a 75% chance it'll happen.
>What do you guys wanna see?
>Location?
>Story?
>Weapons?
>Characters?
Not happening unfortunately.
>>339983147
>tfw never ever
>>339983147
According to Avellone it's not going to happen. Obsidian or otherwise.
>>339983147
Feargus has stated they will not work on other peoples games unless they retain the IP as part of the deal.
If that is true they will never work on Fallout again.
It is PoE,Tranny, and AP from here on out gents.
>>339983789
>>339983805
Obsidian said they'd be willing to do another one. Tim Cain has his named tied to an unnamed project that is apparently a fan-favorite.
>>339983147
All I'd want is a different engine desu
Also I would love to have a mix between the original fallout travel system and the bethesda fallout first person mechanics
>traveling is done via a map just like FO1/2, but in 3D (pretty much like Skyrim's world map but bigger)
>when you reach your destination or come across a random encounter, the camera zooms in on the character and you take control of him in first person
It would bring back that travel feeling that 1 and 2 got, and allow for a bigger world than what we got with new vegas, since they wouldn't have to fill everything with stuff
>>339984259
It's a Vampire sequel.
>>339984392
Obsidian owns Vampire?
>>339984259
They've said nothing of the sort, and it's not Fallout.
>>339983147
>Obsidian has stated on multiple occasions that they'd like to make another Fallout game.
No they haven't. They have stated the complete opposite though.
>>339983147
Not happening.
Sawyer is busy with Pillars of Eternity 2.
Tim Cain and Leo Boyarsky are working on an unnanounced project in Unreal Engine 4.
>>339984472
yes
>>339984472
Paradox does
>>339984564
I'd like to be a fly on that wall. Tim Cain's one of my favorite game makers of all time.
>>339984472
>>339984668
No. Paradox owns White Wolf, who in turn owns the Vampire IP. Just so happens that Paradox has a med-long term partnership with Obsidian that started with Pillars of Eternity.
>>339984392
That'd be pretty fucking rad. Never beat Bloodlines, but I really enjoyed what I played.
>>339984730
This, along with Leo Boyarsky joining Obsidian, makes me believe that they're working on a Vampire game.
Unfortunately it's in Unreal Engine 4, not Source 2. So it'll be shit.
just gimme another good VtM game man
i don't have any friends that are interested in the VtM tabletop, so i gotta quench my thirst for vampires with vidya
>>339984517
Yes they have.
>>339984564
>Tim Cain and Leo Boyarsky are working on an unnanounced project in Unreal Engine 4.
I hope it's a Vampire game. Oh boy oh boy oh boy~
Fallout: Outer Space
set in Vault XXX in space where all the world's most wealthy citizens holed up in. Instead of avoiding rads from nuclear fallout, the space station has unshielded areas where solar radiation pierces through and space raiders or some shit
>>339984819
>Paradox owns White Wolf, who in turn owns the Vampire IP
does that mean that they could make a NWoD game just as well? oh fuck me that's gay
>>339985106
ayy lmao
>>339985106
Die in your sleep so your ideas never see the light of day every again,Todd.
>>339985042
You can bet on it. It's pretty much confirmed at this point. Anything else just doesn't make any sense.
>>339983147
I want to see a Fallout game set in the funky 70´s like post-apocalyptic GTA:VICE CITY
>>339983147
Bethesda wouldn't allow them to do another. Bethesda will continue to push out half assed Fallout clones and people will continue to buy. If Obsidian made another *good* Fallout game it might make them look bad. Again.

Doesn't even matter. They don't own rights to Fallout. What matters is what ZionMax/Bethesda want to do with the license. Avellone says they most likely won't be renting it out to anyone.
https://twitter.com/ChrisAvellone/status/713140991121711104
>>339986014
The original statement was that Obsidian have said they have wanted to make another Fallout game. That is a guy from Obsidian saying he and other guys from Obsidian would be interested in doing it, therefore it is evidence for that statement. Fuck off.

Legion has expanded much further West than anybody could have anticipated. BoS and NCR have entered a very tense alliance against the Legion with so much controversy behind it it's causing civil war within both the BoS and the NCR. This way we can learn more about the MW BoS and about the Legion.
>>339986426
that's hope
>>339986746
Isn't that what this thread is based off of?
>>339983147
just make up ten or so factions that are somewhat believable under the circumstances, from the completely logical (Khans for instance) to the slightly more out there (Boomers come to mind)
then make up interactions they might end up having with one another- two way stuff, three way stuff, etc
what do they want and why? who can be a problem/help in that?
are any of these stories sounding interesting to you? if so, you have a couple of in game factions and major questlines worked out for you.
then you take the 5-7 or so factions you're left with and you try to compromise ways in which all of them could be in roughly the same place. there you have your setting.
so where's it gonna be /v/? and who's gonna be there?
>>339983147
I'd like to seem them do the Pacific Northwest and have a bunch of hunting weapons. The main plot could just be several groups fighting over bodies of water or fisheries. I just want to be a survivalist and have the combat be more punishing

Publicly, sure. He meant what he said back then and I wouldn't be surprised if he only "changed his mind" when he realized he was risking his alt-right following. He's just as crooked and two-faced as Hillary, but without the experience to hold public office.
I'd like a Fallout set in the Deep South.
It won't happen though. Doesn't matter whether Obsidian are willing to do it, Bethesda learned their lesson with NV and will never let anyone show them up again.
>>339989106
Honestly if you're voting based on vidya and tech issues then your best bet is probably voting Libertarian

isometric is top-down at a slight angle stop being autistic
>>339990230
>humans are just monkeys with less hair stop being autistic
>>339990230
Isometric is a third-person with a slightly different camera angle. Ergo, you can already play New Vegas in isometric. Unless you are autistic (which you are).

Trump would probably run a similar campaign at the first mass-shooting of his term. Hillary would too. You're right about Hillary being worse than Trump on video games historically, but I'm talking about theoretical presidencies.
>>339990893
I can't imagine Trump would do that.
>>339991203
It is generally best to never assume Trump would not do something
It's fortunately not happening. Obsidian is confirmed to be working on Pillars of Eternity 2, Tyranny and an unannounced project that is most likely related to World of Darkness. I can only hope they continue to work on their own IP's rather than being Bethesda's bitchboys.
Fallout is dead, stop wanting a good developer to waste their time trying to keep a franchise that's already been irredeemably ruined with Fallout 3 on life support.
>>339983147
>I'd say there's a 75% chance it'll happen.

zenibeth has already opened another studio in canada to make more mobile shit among other things. get ready for even bethshit made by the b-team.
>>339984276
This is the only way Fallout can ever be good again. The Bethesda Open World meme ruins it.
Honestly, though, they're just better off working on their own shit.
>>339991764
But anon . . . I can't let go
>>339991764
I never understood why Fallot 3 gets such a bad rap
>>339992012
Turned the Fallout series into a first person shooter with the classic Bethesda design of making a world as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle, ruined the franchise into being like this forever. And then you have the fact the story is fucking trash and retarded, but whatever, that's the least of my concerns.
>>339992012
>>339983147
Avellone has already saod he wants to do one in the Everglades, Florida/Louisiana area. Best choice IMO.
>>339992203
Good thing he's not in Obsidian anymore, then. He can go work with Bethesda on that trash.
is dead and is the reason why Avellone left to do other bullshit
>>339992198
oh hey more long-debunked NMA macroimages
those were always fun back in the day
>>339992310
Don't forget about sawyer crying like a baby over PoE
>>339992012
It's ultimately just a stripped back TES game with SPECIAL shoved into a bizarro east coast Fallout universe. I still think it's a good game in the end, but this is the crux of why it's disliked.
Someone please post the greentext summarizing Fallout 3's main plot
>>339992483
Sawyer cried like a baby over PoE? When? How? Why? It sold well, is well received by anyone but the most contrarian of hipsters on /v/ and RPG Codex and they're working on a sequel.

Obsidrones are a real thing.

I think he means Avelone crying over Pillars
IIRC all his characters were completely re-written by other people without his permission
>>339991764
>that's already been irredeemably ruined with Fallout 3
And yet New Vegas was a masterpiece.
>>339992721
It's not so much me being an Obsidrone so much as me rightfully hating Bethesda's trash games, design philosophy and their love for the Open World meme. Always have, always will, Elder Scrolls was trash from the start and Fallout became trash the second 3 came in. Yes, that includes Morrowind, which was just the least smelly shit of them.
>>339992721
I'd rather be labelled an Obisrone than a Bethesdrone.
>>339983147
After Bethesda fucked up the last Fallout maybe Obsidian should make it.
>>339992732
>IIRC all his characters were completely re-written by other people without his permission
Nope
I can tell you the extent of my work on Durance. I wrote (if I'm remembering right) some of his environmental reactivity (like, for example, what does he say when he sees a dragon or the Grieving Mother drowning in a pool of blood), and then all of his banter with other companions, and his interjections into other conversations. I also gave the player an opportunity to call him out on his self-deception and hypocrisy, because it seemed to me that some players would want to, and that they might be more inclined to keep him in their party if they could, despite him being not the nicest guy. I had to make some minor edits to get everything to line up and make sense when his dialogue was pared down for length, but not a whole lot. Chris chose what to cut, and it was fairly clean - there was a layer that could be removed without losing the base of the character. Carrie's work on the Grieving Mother would've been similar, though I'm not sure the specifics.
The cuts came for length. The three limiting factors were time to implement, art resources for the dream sequences, and VO budget. There was a target length we had set upfront for all companions, and we had to stick to it. Otherwise we'd be, for example, voicing maybe one out of every six lines for Durance and the Grieving Mother, and it'd be conspicuously incongruent with the other companions, who had maybe 2/3 of their lines voiced. Unfortunately in this case it meant cutting down characters that had had a lot of research and creative energy invested in them, and there were some good ideas there that it would've been interesting to explore. It was a shitty thing to have to do, but we'd never have been able to implement the original versions in time to ship.

Fallout 3 was fun, and it gave us New Vegas.
Fallout 4 is a big fat mistake.

It's from an interview and is trivially googlable.

Which means nothing. It was still shite.
>>339993480

That's a quote from Eric Fenstermaker, lead narrative designer and writer for Pillars of Eternity, who also co-wrote Durance with Chris Avellone.

Fallout 1 turns twenty next year, too.
>>339993015
>proceeds to post debunked pic that's almost a decade old
That's nothing to brag about. I enjoy 3 and NV and still don't understand why NMAnbabbies are still asspained. 3 saved the series from another BoS. And non-isometric switch was neat.
>>339993313
3 was shit, and it gave us a slightly less shit version because fans complains.
4 isn't a Fallout game at all.
>>339993601
>Which means nothing
Right, because we wouldn't want to waste our time playing a video game that is fun.
>>339993698
>debunked pic
3 didn't save anything.
NV was only made for us true fans, and it's still a shitty game.
>>339993858
Can you list the 3 main problems you have with NV?
>>339993698
There's a clear difference in storytelling and player choice from Fallout 1/2/NV and Fallout 3/4. Maybe if you played the earlier games you'd see it, but whatever.
>>339993759
>we
Just because you had "fun" doesn't mean the game itself is a good product.
>>339993858
>for us true fans
>you actually typed this
I'm starting to see why RPGcodex/NMA is considered worse than /v/ despite not being anonymous imageboards.
>>339994050
Using Bethesda's shitty engine.
Using Bethesda's shitty gunplay.
Using Bethesda's shitty two-dimensional karma system.
>>339994090
I did play the earlier games, anon. Your no true scotsman isn't going to work. If anything, maybe you need to replay them if you think 2 and NV are anything near 1 in terms of atmosphere and not complete memefests.
Fallout isn't niche, faggot. Almost all of this entire board has played the originals.
>>339994220
True fans meaning people who have supported the series since the first game, and not bandwagoners who jumped on at 3.
They were given a chance to improve on 3 to appease longer time fans.
That's all I meant by it. No need to get offended.
In fact, this thread is for people wanting to discuss Obsidian's next Fallout. Why are you even here if you're not interested?
>>339994126
So the fact that a product intended to be enjoyed is enjoyed doesn't make it a good product?
>>339994273
>Using Bethesda's shitty engine.
There would be even less game than there is now if they had to make their own engine.
>Using Bethesda's shitty gunplay.
Could be worse.
>Using Bethesda's shitty two-dimensional karma system.
It's basically non-existent, as it effects nothing.
>>339994273
>Using Bethesda's shitty two-dimensional karma system.
Karma was just as shitty in the originals...
>>339994273
A bigger problem than all of those:
Using Bethesda's shitty open world philosophy.
>>339994443
How arrogant can you be to assume that everybody who liked 3 didn't play the originals? Even the original staff, barring Sawyer, said the liked FO3.
>>339994561
>Using Bethesda's shitty open world philosophy.
It didn't.
>Summertime Bethesdrones here to shit up the thread
Well time to abandon thread.
Let's just hope the rumors of a New Orleans based Fallout are true.
>>339983147
I wish they did a country besides the US but I know that would never happen, so I'm going to say Washington or New York.
I was fucking around in my head the other day of a Fallout story about how factions from outside Post-apoc America come to the America and just start causing some shit and the PC has to stop them or something.
We need more retarded weapons like the grenade machine gun and the like.And Maybe The Ultra Honourable Will of the Dragon Emperor unique sword
They need a fucking Canadian companion in a Fallout Game. Maybe he's super pissed off about how America annexed them and all and his story quest is to help him calm the fuck down or something.
>>339994475
The enjoyment is subjective you fucking child.
>>339994759

>>339994759
>New Orleans
That blows the fuck out of my idea of Washington or New York out of the water.
>>339994759
Honestly, you fags who want Obsidian to waste their time on a Fallout game that would undoubtedly have to be done in Bethesda's engine and abide by Bethesda's rules are no better.
>>339994984
So are you compliments.
>>339990637trouble with the trolley eh
>>339995123
You're right. We need more garbage like Alpha Protocol.
>>339994986
Irony means you're calling people summerfags while acting like one. It also falls under hypocrisy.
>>339993759
>fun
Do Bethesdrones have any defense angles besides this?
This is ALL I over see in Fallout threads whenever anyone talks shit about 4, this is all you hear as a defense.
Don't get me wrong, I've had a blast with 3 and 4. I had fun, but they are still garbage games made like shit.
>two weeks ago New Vegas thread will all good and comfy
>now it's retards screeching at each other
This place lose a little bit of it's magic every day.
>>339995261
Alpha Protocol is a dozen times better than New Vegas. You're a bethesdrone just like they are. To a lesser extent, but still a bethesdrone.
>>339995402
>while acting like one
Says who? You?
So basically calling you a thread derailing faggot is summer?
Wow.
>>339983147
As long as it's not Fallout 4 or worse, it'll be okay.
Considering the gap in quality between 3 and NV, I think Obsidian could do it.
Too bad that'll never ever happen. Please look forward to TES 6, you can only play as a Redguard, there are only two spells (heal self and damage enemy), you only have two dialogue options and neither of them are "no".
Have fun if you can! It'll be hard to, though.
>>339995558
Alpha Protocol had worse dialogue than NV and the most abysmal shooting/stealth system I've ever come across. They somehow managed to make it worse than 3/NV's.
>you're a Bethesdrone just because you didn't love Alpha Protocol
haha oh wow
>>339995731
You're a bethesdrone if you want Obsidian to waste their time working on a game that is dictated by Bethesda's terrible engine and open world philosophy.
Am I the only one who wants a Fallout set in Chicago? I feel like they could do something interesting with the Enclave there.
>>339995835
We're all drones then, shut the fuck up.
I just want another decent Fallout game. I don't care if they use Bethesda's tech or their own. I'd prefer the latter, but we know that's not happening. Another PoE would be good too, but I've craving Fallout.
>>339995835
Again, New Vegas wasn't following Bethesda's open world rules. Side areas don't level scale and it's completely possible to go in the "wrong" direction and run into shit that will tear you a new asshole. If you don't remember, that's what a lot of people love to whine about. It's not much different from the originals in that regard, which were open world-ish as well.
>>339996000

Are you illiterate or dumb? They were in a terrible state before PoE Kickstarter. That is true. PoE was a massive success (both Kickstarter and post-Kickstarter sales), they've hired lots of people, Armored Warfare provides them with money, they have Tranny and PoE 2 also, there's also some unannounced project on UE4. They're easily at the best they've been in years.

I'd like to see it in Seattle. The environment would be a nice change of pace, could be heavily forested and snowing, plus the city itself is fairly dense and the Space Needle is still standing, at least according to Project V13, which was cancelled and was going to use Seattle as one of its settings.
