Wasn't there a Chris Avellone Twitter/Facebook update a few months ago saying "I've missed you" in reference to a Fallout image? Maybe it's New Vegas 2 done by Inxile featuring Chris Avellone?

If the Starfield rumors are true, then we know this isn't being worked on by the main Bethsoft team. At least I'd assume that. Which means some b-team spin-off hot-wheels action MOBA complete with rock-em sock-em super mutants with action missiles.

Doorknob Slobber posted:99% of the assets in the teaser seem like they're straight from fallout 4. Same engine, same assets, doubt if there is any online poo poo that its going to be very big. Its a New Vegas style spin off hopefully with some UI improvements for building our new town outside of vault 76. This and I still believe Chris Avellone is involved somehow. Which means a spin-off with the possibility of being as well written as New Vegas's DLC.

AlternateAccount posted:Really the biggest mistake here is that it's almost certainly running on a further tortured and abused version of Gamebryo. Since this is probably the single thing that a.) keeps the game moddable and b.) keeps it from being an MMO, I'm happy for them to keep duct taping games to this engine.

Is it me or does there seem to be a bit of unnecessary overlap between the potential of Fallout '76 and Rage 2? Both post apocalyptic, both based around a road/roads, both shooters, both have online components.

I'm hoping beyond hope that there isn't a new game engine involved. Because that will limit what can be done wrt multiplayer. And who knows, the "online" poo poo might just mean better/more integration with the Bethesda Modding framework.

Sinteres posted:It's not like Square stopped making Final Fantasy games because they have two Final Fantasy MMOs. I don't know why Bethesda put ES6 so far on the back burner, but my guess is that ESO isn't the biggest reason. So far the pattern has been two Fallout games in-between Elder Scrolls releases and now we still have a potential new game in "Starfield" to increase the wait time on Elder Scrolls. Granted New Vegas was a different team, but still.

Fallout 4 gets a lot of poo poo (mostly deserved) but I think they deserve credit for making a game where there's four factions to choose from and you can't rise to the top of everyone and you can doublecross people and what not. I feel like for all the lack of actual roleplaying the game has, it does have that and it's not terrible.

The Berzerker posted:it's clearly the 76 that runs through WV, the song in the trailer is literally singing "take me home country roads, to the place I belong, West Virginia" For those not too familiar with the area, WV had a populace very very similar to the denizens of Point Lookout. It’s a forested series of mountains and not swamps, however. It’s Deliverance in Fallout. (Yes I have family there. My grandma traded her sister’s boyfriend for a chicken and that became my grand dad.)

Ultimately we know nothing about this release except the name and maybe location/time period. Anything else is speculation so the news it's not a Rust clone is just as dubious as the news that it is.

Arcsquad12 posted:Even if Bethesda was asinine enough to say no mods, there's still going to be some dedicated person out there who knows gamebryo inside and out who will break the system open. Yes but if the game is truly online it’ll probably do a parity check against your files, see modded files, and not allow you to play. Not to mention removing the ability to load .esp’s in the first place.

I always thought it was neat that a town that hates and is terrified of synths seems completely ok with Nick Valentine: a terminator looking mother fucker whose job it is to find people and sniff out secrets. To them, he should be the most dangerous mofo in town, rather than spreading rumors about the synth mayor.

Sinteres posted:Honestly talking about the Fallout games made me nostalgic enough to play Skyrim again and it was better than I remembered. Bethesda should farm out Fallout to someone who can do it justice and stick to what they're good at. Skyrim gave me a lot of hope for Fallout 4. They seemed to copy New Vegas's formula a bit and actually gave us two factions that had proper shades of grey morality in the Legion and Stormcloaks. They are really good at environmental story telling as well as most quest lines being interesting in the moment, where as Fallout 3 and 4 both have a lot of head smacking stupid writing. If they put the love and care into Fallout that they did Skyrim/Morrowind I think Fallout would be a lot better for it, even if it will never again capture the feel of 1/2/NV.

We had a thread for several years dedicated to which side is better. Regardless of who you think is better/more justified, the fact that we had a thread about it as long as we did shows that Bethesda did something right.

I think Fallout 3 and 4 are both on par with each other. They both do things better and worse than the other game. And both worse than New Vegas by a wide margin.

Rinkles posted:NMA hated the guy, I think, because of his rather "Oblivion with guns" pitches to media, and because he wasn't very diplomatic about how he treated them and their opinions (he was very "we own fallout now, and we'll do as we like. Deal with it.") I like Pete Hines for this very reason. I get tired of press/PR people being double-speaking diplomats. Also, take a look at what Pete said regarding the political controversy regarding Wolfenstein II. His basic response was "It's just a game, it's not political, and we're not changing a thing." I respect that!

Yardbomb posted:Voiced protag was a genuinely terrible choice, I've seen plenty of people poo poo all over it tons elsewhere too, bad idea with bad execution that only hurt Bethesda's bad writing even more. I actually looked forward to this before I'd played the game. My thought was that Beth's dialog would be a lot better if they heard real people saying it out loud. I was disappointed to find that even though real humans said the player dialogue out lout, it was still silly dumb bullshit. Edit: Sorry for doublepost

Donovan Trip posted:It butchers the lore of not only the original games but their own fallout games as well, I usually don't care about lore stuff but it's things that are painfully obvious, the only argument for it existing as it does is laziness since they could reuse more assets. That poo poo is so frustrating. No game should be a slave to lore; if you have a great idea and need to rearrange past events to fit a new narrative, that’s ok. But to just be lazy and not give a poo poo about your own game’s world building is frustratingly lazy and dumb. Maybe I’m weird, but they’ve retroactively made it difficult to enjoy the past Fallout games as well because in the back of my mind, the story I’m being told is being increasingly made false.
