Why didn't obsidian announce their new fallout game at e3? They're not even working on the new South Park game, so they don't seem very busy...
>>341414167
Bethesda will never again allow Obsidian to make a Fallout game after they utterly embarrassed them with New Vegas.
>>341414167
>their new fallout game
Why would you want an Obsidian Fallout game? No offense but New Vegas was bad compared to Fallout 3 and 4
>>341414389
I find it sad that this is probably right.
They're working on Tranny you dumb fuck.
>>341414167
But obsidian did announce another game right
That one in the PC gaming show
That kind of isometric rpg
>>341414525
You look familiar
>>341414167
Bethesda owns Fallout so they can't do anything unless Bethesda allows it, which I fuckin doubt. Furthermore, they're working on that new isometric RPGame where you play as an evil(?) protagonist.
>>341414525
Wait a minute, Todd, is that you?

>>341414952
They announced it like 3 years ago.
They're definitely working on another game, Feargus already spilled the beans. Unreal Engine 4, Tim Cain, Leo Boyarsky, prooobably World of Darkness license.
>>341415279
You have my attention, neonate, go on...
I wonder why..
>>341414167
>their new fallout game
anon fallout is never leaving the zenibeth umbrella ever again.
>>341416141
There isn't much more information yet. The "world of darkness" is speculation based on the fact that Paradox bought the rights to make games based on it and they have a tight partnership with Obsidian currently.
>>341416283
The funny thing is, with Avellone working on a Bethesda-published game (Prey) it's not that much of a stretch for him to work on the next Bethesda Fallout title. Not sure if want, though, but I guess he'd have fun doing that.
ISOLATED [/SPOILER]
>>341415149
No I'm Rodd
>>341416553
Maybe I'm too new but if we get another vtmb game I'd shit. It's an actual favourite of mine
>tfw daddy troika went out for cigarettes and still hasnt come back
>>341414167
They're busy making Tyranny, ya doofus!
>>341414167
Why would a new fallout game be announced when Bethesda is still riding high on the DLC wave?
>>341416927
>Maybe I'm too new but if we get another vtmb game I'd shit.
You only shit when you get a game you like.
That´s some impressive body control.
Or a terrible digusting curse.
Yeah, probably the curse one.
>>341417054
why would a remaster of Skyrim be announced when they almost assuredly won´t be able to reach mod´s level of graphics OR stability?
New Vegas was announced only a year after Fallout 3, then released after DLC. We know this was a strict schedule because Obsidian actually wanted more time with NV but they didn't let them, leading to the whole 84 on metacritic debacle.
So regarding this, and IF Obsidian is making a fallout (the only "proof" of this is that Louisiana instagram post), It wouldn't be announced until later this year, probably after the second or third wave of FO4 DLC.
Obsidian likely wants nothing to do with bethesda anymore though
>>341418369
Because they will make big money on console retards who will buy it again
>>341416623
Nice meeting you Rodd, I'm Zodd
>>341416623
I admire how Todd managed to singlehandedly expand ob the Qualities of Fallout 3 and New Vegas while also cutting everything away that was bland or boring.
I'm Prodd by the way.
>>341419503
>Implying that New Vegas had quality and wasn't a rehash wallowing the success of my wor-... I mean Fallout 3
Lolno
>>341414525
Yeah it didn't "just work" the same way fallout 4 did
>>341419643
We, I mean he expanded on the nonexistant qualities of New Vegas by learning from it's mistake of introducing more RPG mechanics while everybody knows that these are boring.
>>341415024
You think Todd Howard would waste his time in a cesspool like this? Let me bring you up to speed kiddo: you aren't shit to Todd, this place ain't worth SHIT to Todd. He could fuck every one of your female relatives with ease. He is a living fucking legend of the video game industry. If you saw him on the street you want to shake my fucking hand. He is more that you could ever hope to be.
>Obsidian collaborating with Beth after the Metacritic thing
More chance of just subcontracting InExile, which has Tim Cain in it.
Just come to terms that NV was the last proper Fallout game, there's no use of driving yourself mad over this.
>>341414525
Shut up, British Dan Akroyd, you haven't been funny since British John Belushi died.
>>341420391
1. Tim Cain is in Obsidian.
2. They have zero experience of AAA development.
>>341420350
Hello Todd, errr I mean 'Nodd'
>>341420551
Call me Todd one more time you fucking loser. Do it, I fucking dare you.
>>341420523
Eh, i mixed him up with Brian Fargo. I honestly don't care though.
Like i said, Fallout is over, it became a parody of itself with no progression in terms of context
DUDE NIFTY FIFTIES INK SPOTS LMAO.
I'm just putting the whole thing behind me, and everyone with any sense should really do the same.
>>341420682
Todd ._.
>>341420823
>Brian Fargo
Fargo is just a businessman.
Anyway, I agree that Vegas was a good way to end the series. I'd be interested if a good studio took the IP and did a thing with it, but it's not something I desire dearly.
Why would obsidian be allowed to make a new fallout game? All bait and shitposting aside, fallout new vegas was the worst rated game all around, worst selling, and objectively the most boring. (Though it has the better story, lore, and characters) Bethesda would be retards to actually let another company, especially obsidian, make a fallout game. Bethesda should always be the ones to make fallout games, theyve been successful for almost 2 decades (unless fallout 1 came out in 1996, i dont remember ;P
>>341421418
Agreed, though you are bound to get (You)s
>>341414167
Because they're working on their own now and even though I don't really care for their games currently, I'm glad they're at that stage now. They've essentially been in WILL WORK FOR FOOD stage since they began as a studio.
>>341421418
this
>>341421418
good post
upvoted
>>341414167
They making Tyranny and Pillars of Eternity 2 you fucking troglodyte, not even a based developer like Obsidian can save the Fallout franchise now that Bethesda fucked it beyond repair.
>>341414167
I don't think Bethesda wants any more RPGs. I'd much rather they got Machine Games to create a full-fledged FPS focused on Brotherhood of Steel or something.
>>341420929
YOU LECHEROUS, DEGENERATE FILFTH HOW FUCKING DARE YOU DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCEPTION OF WHO I AM?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY OF YOU PROLETARIAT DULLARDS FAWN OVER ME?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY GAME OF THE YEAR AWARDS MY MASTERPIECES HAS ACCRUED?! I AM A GOD OF GAMING, I CRAFT WORLDS, I SMITH DREAMS! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A FLY ATTEMPTING TO SPITE A GOD! I AM BEYOND YOU!
>>341414167
>so they don't seem very busy
literally half of Obsidian is working on some russian World of Tanks clone.
>>341421418
>worst rated game all around, worst selling, and objectively the most boring
Worst rated by retarded reviewers, and mostly because it was buggy at launch. It would sell much more and get better reviews if it was marketed as fuck like fallout 4. Don't see how is it more boring than fallout 3 considering its literally the same gameplay.
>Bethesda would be retards to actually let another company, especially obsidian, make a fallout game. Bethesda should always be the ones to make fallout games, theyve been successful for almost 2 decades (unless fallout 1 came out in 1996, i dont remember ;P
You think that betheseda actually had the skill to make the original fallouts? aAHAHahaAaha
>>341422410
just an opinion m8
>>341422753
ok.
but bethesda had nothing to do with fallout 1/2, just so you know.
>>341418257
He probably opened it.
>>341420523
Actually, raising a budget simply raises the stakes. You still need to do the exact same thing except you need to justify the games features as accessible to the lowest common denominator as possible.
Unless you're talking about inter-company politics like publishers withholding pay so they can acquire either the IP or the studio for cheap. Kinda like what Bethesda/ZeniMax did with the original Prey developers and sort of what happened with Gas Powered Games. Honestly, after surviving for so long, I think Obsidian finally figured out how to maneuver around that.
Obsidian has stated before that they would love to do a new Fallout.
The ball was always in Bethesda's court, but unfortunately they don't seem interested.
As for Obsidian they seem to be spread thin. They were on the brink of bankrupcy, just after having some big layoffs before Pillars.
Pillars might have done well but I doubt well enough to make them hire a lot of people.
They have a small team working on Tyranny for Paradox, I think they are still working on that tank game and probably all their senior staff are planning Pillars 2 and maybe the World of Darkness game.
I doubt we'll ever get Fallout:L.A.
Also I know inExile is a different company now but isn't it mainly the same crew and in the same building? I'm more than sure they trade manpower when needed.
>>341425869
>Pillars might have done well but I doubt well enough to make them hire a lot of people.
It did extremely well. Obsidian is back to being a 100 man team (including managerial/HR/support staff). The success of Pillar's KS also catapulted them to fame, most of their pitches were accepted and being turned into games.
If you've ever done software development, you'd know that the whole planning phase is just a bunch of guys doing a meeting twice a week to brainstorm stuff. What they're busy now on is Tyranny and the tank game because it's what's actually been announced. That's all hands on deck.
>>341426448
Source on them rehiring?
I know that Pillars did extremely good for them and made them relevant again but not to this extent. That's great news.
Also their new relationship with Paradox Entertainment is probably a good income source as well, better than what they would usually get at least.
>>341418369
I just wish they make animations easier
>>341414167
What makes you even assume that they are working on one? There's no reason whatsoever for you to think that...
>>341414814
/thread
>>341426638
Check the credits on Pillars (not including the outsourced staff). They also said, they hired back some of the people they can when PoE was funded although I forget where I heard this. Maybe in one of Tim Cain's MattChat interviews.
>>341414167
>Obsidian without Avellone
Literal trash tier
>>341431721
What the fuck is he even doing anymore? All I ever hear from him is when he's a kickstarter stretchgoal.
>>341431872
he freelances, works on Prey right now
>>341419041
You went to all this effort, and you didn't think to say "Kneel before Zodd"?
Obsidian are working on making actual RPG's that are fun and don't fall for the Bethesda Open World meme
Pillars of Eternity 2
Tyranny
The World of Darkness game
Good on them. You Bethesdrones can go fuck yourselves and eat the shit Bethesda shits down on you.
>>341416141
as far as i know they aren't working a wod game yet, although that's more than likely in the cards. currently, they are making another iso game called tyranny. the concept seems intriguing enough
>>341415279
They announced Tyranny 3 a few months ago, you stupid faggot. You're confusing it with Pillars of Eternity, a game that was released over a year ago. They're working on a sequel for that right now.
>>341432390
>The World of Darkness game
only saving grace
Obsidian has already proved they excel at making licensed games and are complete shit at originality much like Bioware
>>341426448
>>341426638
From Sawyer
secretarcadephilosopher asked: Hi Josh. I have a simple question - how many people you have working in Obsidian? Always thought it's small studio, am I wrong?
>The company has grown and shrunk over time. It’s now a little over 200 people, with most of the developers working on Armored Warfare. The Tyranny team is between 20 and 30 people (I think). The Pathfinder team has less than 10 (again, I think). My team is currently fairly small, about 20 people.
>>341432531
Alpha Protocol was great nigga fuck you
>>341432531
You're a faggot. Pillars of Eternity was a million times better than New Vegas. Alpha Protocol is one of their best games.
Obsidian isn't a bitch to your shitty favorite licenses anymore, if that displeases you, feel free to fuck off.
In fact, I hope the third game they're working on is not based on World of Darkness, just so that you fags get madder.
>>341432512
No, I just typed "years" instead of "months" because fuck you, you fucking faggot!Though they've been trying to pitch "evil won" RPG literally for years.
>>341432795
>Pillars of Eternity was a million times better than New Vegas.
Okay, I don't mind PoE at all and I don't think current Obsidian is bad at all, but just no.
Because they're working on that teased VTM game I assume
The loli mods in New Vegas were really good.
>>341427339
>>341414814
This, you guys need to catch up.
They are in partership with Paradox for now.
Honestly, I think it's time welet goof Fallout.
>>341434176
>2D isometric again
>>341434276
>yfw you realize the ending of New Vegas is so open ended because Obsidian knew there will never be another proper Fallout game so they let the West Coast's future be decided by the player
>>341414167
How is PoE White March part 2?
Better than the first part?
I seriously enjoyed the base game and the DLC was pretty okay.
Problem is I'm bored as hell with a week off work but have limited funds so I don't want to spend my money if it isn't great.
>>341434643
That's silly, they were just trying to make an RPG with as much player agency they could.
>>341414167
because obsidian is working on paradox's new vampire the requiem game, a moba with microtransactions for skins and animations, and each clan/bloodline is a $11.99 DLC
>>341431721
Lost it hard on pic.
>>341414525
hmmmmm
>>341434756
I don't even think many people bought the expansions here.
I say that because I never see anyone talk about them, even when they were released.
