Where do you want Fallout 5 to be set? Countless places have been called out but one has risen above
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.
With work on Starfield wrapping up and work on Elder Scrolls 6 starting is there a chance another studio could work on Fallout 5?
I'd rather have a Fallout 1st person (Starfield engine based) spin-off from another studio like Obsidian/Roundhouse/Arkane a la New Vegas style and Fallout 5 from Todd & co.
Also won't mind another isometric Fallout RPG spin-off on top of that as well ... from inXile or Obsidian
Either a New Vegas spiritual sequel with a new location (personally I’d use the spin off games to move around the world to Canada, UK, Europe etc to see their own versions of Vault Tech and the like).
Or
A remake of Fallout 1 in the same style as 3, 4 etc
Howard is more against Remakes ... he can be forced to handover the IP rights for a spin-off but he'll rebel if remakes are discussed. lol
Plus ... fallout 1 and 2 humor is pretty dark ... doubt MS will be able to keep 'em in remakes.
I'd love an FPS spin-off from Obsidian and isometric spin-off from inXile. That would give us a steadier stream of Fallout while Bethesda can take their time with TES VI and Fallout 5.
And then people wonder why companies keep making sequels instead of taking risks on new IPs...
1) Not every game can be a new IP. Some IP are just begging for sequels and spin-offs because the lore and world building are so good.
2) Both Obsidian and inXile have multiple teams, so this wouldn't stop either from also putting out new IP.
For sure Obsidian. Bethesda should go mobile at the rate of their quality drop. Inxile should make one too afterwards.
Until we wait please remaster FO3/NV with all the dlc. Gameplay improvements, faster loading, better textures and performance. Make a physical version with both games on the disk and it’s a buy for millions
Because we have years of wait before we get FO5
Nashville area wouldn't be bad tbh, but I'd prefer to take that back to the west coast.
Pacific northwest. Bethesda seems to want a verdant apocalypse these days. Oregon is a low priority nuclear target. Plenty of lush forest with a bit of metro area thrown in. Obviously I'm biased.
Games not set in the USA would be nice, the only people obsessed with the US are people from the US
