Fallout 5 by Obsidian, developer of New Vegas and The Outer Worlds, would be great, leaving Bethesda to focus on Starfield, Skyrim, and maybe Elder Scrolls 6
It may be years away, but whenever it arrives, Fallout 5 needs to improve on its predecessor in several areas.
They really need to get rid of weapon mods and bring back more unique weapons that are hard to get / find
They won't improve it other than a slight graphical upgrade. They have always been better at live action than making games.
Only way it could improve is taking it away from Bethesda and regroup Classic Fallout (1&2) devs with decent budget and time to make it.
Following the success of the TV show, Microsoft is reportedly in talks to fast-track Fallout 5 with the help of a studio other than Bethesda.
haha was about to say the same thing.
All these articles about a new Fallout are pointless right now. A game of that scope will likely be 1 year pre-production and 4 years development MINIMUM and that's if they start on it tomorrow. Lets talk about it again in four years time when it's officially announced, not when they're still working out who may develop the bloody thing.
Yeah, allow the studio that hasn't slam dunked any games In recent memory to "fast track" the next Fallout game.
Good, microsoft should look at their IP's with value and protect them from devs like bethesda after disasters like Starfield. Everyone would lose their minds if obsidian was able to make another fallout even though the new vegas team is long gone. .
Discover the impact of the recent Fallout show on Amazon Prime and the white-hot popularity of the Fallout franchise. Will there be a Fallout 5 anytime soon? How about any new Fallout? Its a good problem to have.
I’m going to get back into Fallout 4 since I haven’t finished it yet. The recent update will likely give me more of an incentive to get to it sooner rather than later.
New armor, weapons, and mission(s) is enough for me, especially since I haven’t finished the game yet.
Where is the problem part again?
There is a show
There is 76 that is perfect for non-standard fallout players and perfect for Bethesda to coin up on.
There is a Fallout Shelter
There is Fallout 4 updated for current gen (that went free for subscription services in most cases).
Also there is a whole new audience that has never seen or played fallout before. Seems like they have PLENTY to dig into, before they worry about FO5.
They are beyond trending and are banking with willing investors atm, and you are calling it a problem. Mkay. Sounds more like you are just chapped that FO5 is not point of discussion. No worries, it is coming, just gonna take a bit. Just be glad MS and Bethesda ironed out their multi-platform woes, THAT was a problem, the rest is cake.
I called it a good problem because they have so much momentum, or did you fail to read that part
That momentum is going to die when the new players realize their games aren't very well made compared to other games.
Id like to see a new take on the world, for me the most exciting part of fallout is emerging from the Vault the first time into the future, but its always the same mutants brotherhood of steel etc, a revamp of the world would be cool and fresh.
In an ideal world it should, but after how Bethesda acted when Obsidian was making New Vegas, I'm not too sure they'd be happy to hand over the reigns like that unless Phil puts his foot down, but that would go against Bethesda's creative freedom. I can see them doing another spin off though. Either way I hope Fallout tries a new setting next time, outside of the US.
Why does Bethesda still need to focus on Skyrim?
It probably wouldn't be Fallout 5, but I would like to see them have enough time to make a proper spin off. They're a bit busy though with Avowed and Outer Worlds 2 still early in development.
I think they should leave the series behind. And I say that as an absolute fanatic of Fallout 1-3 & New Vegas. Obsidian is a VERY different team from the guys who made New Vegas.
I actually hope Obsidian can turn the Outer Worlds into something amazing with no.2 . The first game had a magic spark but it felt unrealised in many ways.
