Fallout “tribals” with scavenged power armour bits and pieces and plasma spears is such a cool idea that’s never been used,Fallout desperately needs at least one game set in the far (farther) future that’s not clinging to the 50’s/the world is rubble thing. Do a step forward to the 60’s 70’s or 80’s and let things progress.

We're never going to get that, it'd kill the brand identity.

If it's a one off spin off thing and people don't like it, they'll just forget about it in a year or two. With the success of the TV show, I think it would take a lot to kill off the franchise at this point.

A fallout game under Bethesda is a decade long project, and therefore is such a huge investment that it must desperately cling to all the brand hallmarks and guidelines, it's not something that can be farted out in a year or two with relative creative freedom

MS would, really, really be wanting some way to cash in on the popularity of the Fallout TV show right now, particular with x-box studio struggling a bit apparently.

Is obsidian busy with any big projects? They seem like they’d be the logical choice for something like that, especially since season 2 of the show looks like it’s going to be entirely focused on the events of new Vegas? Can’t really see why they wouldn’t be picked since MS owns both, jokes about Todd Howard aside

Avowed which has a release date of "fall" this year, and Outer worlds 2, which people are thinking 2025 release date, but nothing confirmed. And while a new Obsidian fallout would be good and an obvious choice, MS does have a few other studios who do RPG's, so if they do go for another studio doing one, they could quite easily pick one of them, like inExile or Arkane. Although from what I've heard a lot of talent left Arkane during the whole redfall fiasco, as well as their style games being more mechanics based than the usually fallouts.

The original Fallouts were only partially 50s-inspired anyway. The music and the art deco stuff is from even earlier. And much of the post-apoc aesthetic was very early 90s grunge feeling.

The 50s aesthetic is the only reason Fallout stands apart from every other post-apocalyptic game series. Ditching it to chase 80s neon especially would just kill it again like Brotherhood of Steel did.

They were still trying to make another till the end, they just run out of money to do it.

An Arkane Fallout could be amazing if they were allowed to lean in to their ImSim competency. Fallout coming back to Brian Fargo at inXile would be pretty funny and probably never allowed to happen.

They could easily leave New Canaan intact and say that they didn't all get got, or show it rebuilt after the attack. If they even felt the need to chain themselves by previously established canon, which there's no real obligation to. I'm still a little surprised that Fallout 3 had a one-off quest talking about how Boston had a bunch of replicant androids running around, and they went through with making that the central basis of Fallout 4.

IDK if this is better for the modding thread but to go with what everyone said about playing LR just before Hoover Dam, if you have the FPGE mod, would it be better to play it before or after Hoover Dam, either from a gameplay or story perspective.

IIRC the ending slides for Lonesome Road specifically references the showdown at Hoover Dam as an upcoming event, LR won't really make sense if one side has already "won".

I mean from a story perspective it's objectively intended to be played before Hoover Dam, on account that normally that's the only possible way to play it. From a gameplay perspective, playing it before Hoover Dam means that you actually get to use the high end DLC gear in the main story (which is like the only upside of playing through LR)

Because they outsourced it, I don't think there's any indication that they plan to do that again Obviously it's technically possible to crank out games quickly, but I'd say it's obvious that's not how Bethesda operates steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 17:19 on May 21, 2024 |

You can certainly do it that way, there's just a couple of lines referring to Hoover Dam in the future tense that'll come up. Once I didn't feel like doing Dead Money so I skipped it on a playthrough, then after finishing the game I decided to go do it after all, and it worked surprisingly well as an epilogue story

It did when the series was specifically dying. So yeah, no, I don't think we'll see a repeat. Besides, the Institute already specifically was a look at a faction that feels more 60s/70s than the rest of the Wasteland.
