I'd be okay with revisiting San Francisco. Just up the kung fu stuff times a thousand and make it like a post apocalyptic Shaw Brothers film. There's a market for flying guillotine weapons in video games that Bethesda could totally tap.

hawowanlawow posted:New Orleans or bust, IMO. Wouldn't it be nice if it was on a new engine? I mean they are definitely getting low on possible 'iconic' areas. NYC, New Orleans, Chicago, Seattle... possibly Miami too. Philly would be too similar to both Boston and DC. Texas cities are not iconic enough. They've already done the big west coast cities in the originals.

I feel like we already covered swamps with Point Lookout and Far Harbor, so I don't think I'd be too thrilled about New Orleans. If they did Miami, I kind of wonder if they'd stick the retrofuristic Americana aesthetic, or if it would just end up feeling like bombed out Vice City. Chicago probably makes the most sense imo.

Speaking of locationchat--I was watching some video about NV on YouTube the other day, and in the video they said that in an old interview Feargus Urquhart had said that Vegas wasn't Obsidian's first choice for the setting, and that their actual first choice was rejected by Bethesda because apparently they were planning something for that setting (he never said what city/region that was). Has this ever been confirmed anywhere else, and does anyone know what city it was?

It's a new game. It'll be set in New York, Seattle, New Orleans, or Chicago. It is not going to be made by Bethesda but by a seperate team. Avellone will have written for it. It'll be out this year I bet. Those are all my bets for tomorrow.

I've heard that too, but I think that Feargus quote (if it's something that indeed exists and wasn't made up for this video) would suggest that they originally chose a location within the West Coast sphere (I really can't imagine Obsidian, which was full of people who had worked on he original games at the time, would have chosen the East Coast/somewhere not near the West Coast over the West Coast) and were told not to use that specific location because Todd Howard had something planned for it. The only location I might be able to think of would be something like Denver, maybe? I'm pretty sure the original Van Buren world map extended east to Denver, so maybe Obsidian wanted to do something with that. Other than that--is there a chance that Obsidian wanted to set the game within the NCR's more-developed interior, and were shot down by Bethesda because they had plans for the NCR? Because at this point, one of the more interesting Fallout settings would be one where society has started to rebuild. Like, we've already had five mainline Fallout games set in untamed post-apocalyptic irradiated hellholes, and to me, the Fallout series (at least 1, 2, and NV) and its arc is more about how humanity picks up the pieces and moves on from a global nuclear war than just mere post-apocalyptic destructionporn. Seeing what a functioning post-nuclear human society would look might be the most interesting move at this point. Still, we have yet to see post-nuke NYC, and they're definitely going to do that at some point. That's probably the next mainline game (I'm assuming this current announcement is for some lovely Fallout 3 rerelease).

It just seems like the only place to go after 4 had you literally rebuilding civilization throughout the region. I mean how much "this isn't really Fallout" poo poo do they already get? Imagine how many people will be angry if they do start moving into a post-post-apocalypse. Of course the idea that nothing ever really changes about humanity is kind of a key point of the whole series, so they could always have some nukes fly and hit the reset button again.

I wish i could remember where I read it but I do remember reading that a game set exclusively in the Boneyard was something a few people at Obsidian would love to do. Maybe that was it? Bombed out, NCR-rebuilt LA would be cool

I dont think people mind society rebuilding, I think it had more to do with the crazy futuretech and societies that were straight up IRL culture, but sometimes they misinterpret one thing. It's just kind of disappointing when a lot of the other games, even FO3, put work into having unique tribes and towns, then you see "2010's USA, but filthy and with teleporting terminators". I still think it would have been way better received if it had been a non-Fallout game.

It just seems like the only place to go after 4 had you literally rebuilding civilization throughout the region. I think you're on to something here--the Fallout fanbase might scoff at something like "post-post-apocalypse," and that's largely because of Bethesda. Fallout 3 and 4 expanded the Fallout fanbase, but to the majority of Fallout fans nowadays, what makes Fallout "Fallout" is probably more in line with Bethesda's vision of the series, for better or for worse. Super fans of the originals complained about this when Bethesda bought the series, and while I didn't (and still don't) agree with all of these complaints, I do feel that Bethesda largely abandoned Black Isle/Obsidian's view of the series ("where does humanity go after we've destroyed everything") in favor of a more surface-level reading ("what would [major American city] be like, except retro-futuristic and blow'd up?"). So moving away from the destructionporn aspect might annoy some people, even if they keep lasers, power armor, and general sandboxyness.

There was an interview a couple years ago with Fergus Urquhart where he mentions wanting to do a Fallout LA or Boneyard game. Which clearly hasn't going anywhere yet. It's also where he mentions the original Fallout crew sticking to the west coast since that's where their from, while Bethesda tackles the east coast. Obsidian has very clearly stated that they aren't involved with whatever announcement is forthcoming. So if they are working on something behind the scenes I wouldn't expect it to come out any time soon. My guess - the upcoming title is going to be Fallout: Topeka.

Lots of ruined sunken buildings in ravines with tons of caves and a vast otherworldly underground. Bring back those tunnelling digger creatures, mutated giant alligators and a Skaven influenced rat men. Maybe toss in some nasty flying creatures for exposed air that descended from pidgeons... god I want another Metro game.

Now that you mention it, a Fallout set in New York would be totally unrealistic, because there's no possible way a single human being would survive for more than five minutes without being immediately set upon and devoured by millions of giant rats, radroaches, and mutant pigeons  Prediction for Fallout NYC when Bethesda gets around to it--the Brotherhood shows up to New York with Liberty Prime, and whatever the anti-Brotherhood faction ends up being uses Liberty Prime tech to turn the Statue of Liberty into another Liberty Prime, complete with a lady voice that recites lines from the New Colossus rather than anti-communist rhetoric. Final battle is giant scripted Transformers fight between Liberty Prime and the Statue of Liberty.
