Wow, if an "abysmal" track record is getting around an 8/10 on every game release over the last decade... What the hell would we call the track record of basically every other dev studio out there? Obsidian seems to be one of the only studios that can consistantly provide a well received game, ESPECIALLY across multiple genres from survival, to RPG, to a visual novel adventure games.

[@firstamerican7450]

Yeah I definitely don't agree that it is abysmal, at WORST it is ok/decent. Outer Worlds was the weakest for me personally but even then it was still ok, but I loved Grounded and would put it on par with Valheim in terms of survival games for me. There definitely still is talent there even with a majority of the original NV team having left. At the very least a current Obsidian Fallout would be better than the past 2 that BGS has produced.

[@zVampiirePlatypus]

This is the same company working on Avowed. It’s the people at the studio that make the studio what it is. Without the old team, it won’t be anywhere close to what it was. I get that Josh Sawyer is still there but he wasn’t the only one doing all the work.

@@airyshark324 There's not enough space here to even begin to cover it. The short answer is New Vegas is much more like the original games Fallout and Fallout 2, in terms of tone, setting, and world-building. I'd recommend you play those first two games if you want to understand the gist of Fallout. Bethesda's games are more like a series spin-off.

[@ThatGuyKazz]

100% though I think it's less of them wanting their own IP and more of them wanting to feel like they have a high degree of creative control. I think they'd be hesitant to work with Microsoft as a publisher unless Microsoft was willing to let go of the reigns a bit more than usual. Which I think Larian has definitely earned but there is no guarantee that Microsoft executives would agree with that assessment. After all Larian doesn't own any part of the IP for Balder's Gate 3.

[@henryhafner6425]

[@ChaseSchleich]

I don't care who does it. Someone just needs to. Microsoft should have gotten a Fallout remake or un-numbered sequel off the ground at one of their studios the day they got the rights to the IP. They're complete idiots for even waiting this long. I'm sure Obsidian would love the chance to remake New Vegas. They had big plans for that game, but weren't able to do what they wanted to do because of time frames, hardware, and software restrictions. All barriers they wouldn't have now.... well other than software restrictions if they have to use Creation Engine. Let them remake New Vegas into the game they originally wanted it to be.

[@captaindestruction9332]

Not sure I would say they’re idiots. Keep in mind that despite its launch and how some still view it Fallout 76 has been a thing and been getting new expansive content for years. Releasing a new game(remake or not) that potentially cuts in to 76 revenue stream is a bit silly givin 76 gives new content and is a service based game. Now if 76 weren’t there I would agree. But no point in rushing a out a remake or new game when a already developed game that gets more and more content is there.

[@JediKnightoftheSnyderCult]

Microsoft and Bethesda are so incompetent. It's really quite impressive.

[@Faceplay2]

Yeah, I don’t get how they’re so stupid. For instance, at the very least, they should’ve had a double port of new Vegas in fallout three ready to go on the switch sort of like maybe a light remaster of the game maybe adding some costumes from the TV show or something. They could’ve done that within a few days of work extremely fast and it would’ve been extremely profitable. I am 28 years old now, and there’s a whole generation of teenagers who did not grow up with the fallout series. I’m legitimately, shocked that they didn’t have some sort of port for modern consuls ready to go especially because the PlayStation five is also not backwards compatible

[@Walka_Vodka_]

[@acev3521]

Bethesda gets away with it because their fans love the pain but Microsoft on the other hand has gone from going toe to toe with Sony 10 years ago to being in dead last place despite buying 80% of the video game dev teams in the world. Microsoft being a trillion dollar company is the only reason Xbox is still around.

[@jackblack9605]

Not sure what that commenter was smoking, but Obsidian has also made good games. Feargus Urquhart, Chris Parker, and Josh Sawyer, OG veterans of Black Isle and the Fallout series, are still there. Additionally, Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, the creator of Fallout, who made Outer Worlds are also somewhat still affiliated with Obsidian. With the success of BG3, it's time for a modern remake of Fallout 1 and 2, retaining the isometric view but incorporating more modern game features like those added in BG3, and balancing them out.

[@Thorn_416]

Based on Obsidian's gameplay trailer for Avowed, I don't care if they do or don't. Unless they reassembled the teams of dudes that made New Vegas, it's whatever

[@ericsaari2901]

@@IamKiener I'm surprised because the next gen update is free, as I understand it, almost all people who ever would have played Fallout already have the games, show notwithstanding, and those few who don't and buy it new can get it at a really, really low price. This compared with having timed things to coincide with a new Fallout game, and everyone under the Sun buying it. Just seems a little off to me, planning-wise. Who am I to judge though. I definitely do not think BGS is a top tier developer anymore though. They need to wholesale change engines, relationships with the community and modders that support their games, work a bit better towards what would serve the gameplay. My opinion though. I'd be more excited about someone else doing a new Fallout game honestly, after what I have seen from them for years now.

I would be happy with a from the ground up remaster of new vegas but keeping all its options for dealing with quests, that allows us to explore more of the legions territory and learning more about how the legion lands operate. Having the DLC also remastered with the endings of each dlc affecting the ending of new vegas in someway, for example salvaging the auto docs and vending machine's from the sierra madre and giving the to the followers.

[@supertom8619]

Only BGS could be involved in making a Stellar tv series based on a franchise in which they have no recent media releases, and no plans to release within the next 5-10 years. Falls in line with all their terrible decision making over the past decade or more

[@taylorp3685]

I think I can speak for the majority of fallout and Bethesda fans when I say that if they were to remaster fallout 3 and new Vegas, and I’m not talking about some graphic updates, I’m talking about it being remade in the latest creation engine used for Starfield, for instance, we would pay $80 for those games to be refreshed entirely. Resident evil is a prime example of this. it’s honestly a no-brainer to keep the fallout games fresh. They could sell it for full price and they would sell as many if not more copies than they did before with Half the effort into the game because the story and side quests will already be there. The foundation is already there. The old games just feel very old now and tough to go back to with missing mechanics and such that we expect now such. Look at the graphical, and mechanical differences between fallout new Vegas and Skyrim.. they were released a year apart but feel like they were launched in a different era. Also off-topic, I have 600 hours of fallout for on steam. That doesn’t count for the heavily modded versions I have that aren’t recorded hours, I’m probably around 1200 hours in the game. For the first time ever saw a character I’ve never seen before that is a random encounter. It’s the raiders chef. I’ve never seen him before and he fucked me up in the middle of nowhere on survival mode lol. Those kind of things keep me going back to the fallout games.

[@chadisnotachad]

[@scarecrown7s]

[@iybsky3331]

Might be a hot take but I would honestly love nothing more than for Obsidian to just have control over the Fallout IP in its entirety going foreword. I think it would be amazing to have a passionate studio solely dedicated to fallout. BGS is so all over the place and I would argue their last 3 games have more than proven they aren't what they used to be. It would be so poetic if the original creators of fallout reobtained the IP and brought it back to life. Obsidian may not have the same track record they had back in the day but you can truly see a real spark of passion in that studio even to this day, which is something BGS sadly lacks it seems.

[@AdioShu]

You my remember a guy called Tim Cain, still consults for obsidian. Would hope they would try and bring him in if they got the green like on a other fallout.

[@w.a.o.a.w]

I mean why not, it’s better than waiting for however many decades for another installment. Doesn’t have to be New Vegas 2 but anything new in the franchise would be nice. Obsidian isn’t a horrible studio they’ve shown to have a decent track record at least recently.

[@lamarcio7370]

Safest option is remaking New Vegas, a new game would need Todd’s approval, and the process would take too much time to create something new out of nowhere just for money. A Remake would be the faster, so you can capitalize of the show’s sucess, maybe announce it along with season 2, wich will already have New Vegas in it, you can get more people into the New Vegas storyline, wich would be better than just making a sequel so every type of fan can enjoy it. If anything inXile could also be an option for a AA Fallout game, whether it’s a remake or a new game

[@captaindestruction9332]

I think we might see a remake of 3 released and new content for 76 be developed over the years until Fallout 5 comes out. If Xbox and Bethesda are smart they can advertise and draw people to 76 for the new content while the show is going and not need a brand new game like 5 until its ready. And lets be real its not like hype for the games will just die off if a game doesn’t come out during the shows run. Its a massive series and the show has helped solidify new fans.

[@CoachGobotch]

They would hit it out of the parks because all the OG black isles devices are now obsidian and they understand the IP and the world better then bethesda

[@ThatGuyKazz]

I think at this point Microsoft would have to be insane to not start shopping around the IP to other developers. Obsidian is the obvious choice because they have history and Microsoft owns them too. Though if I am being honest I think another great option which is obviously less likely would be Larian Studios. I could very easily see Larian making an AMAZING Fallout CRPG that Harkens back to the original Fallout 1 & 2. Another that I think could do that CRPG style Fallout justice that might be more likely to want to work with Microsoft would be Owlcat who are the guys that just put out the Rogue Trader game that is pretty good.

[@RiderZer0]

Obsidian hasn’t made a true open world game since NV. Everything is in zones and the zones are pretty small and uninteresting. Idk that I’d want them to make another fallout. I don’t think they’re the same ambitious team. If I were to take a chance on a studio for a fallout game. I would say machine games.

[@enki6334]

I would perfect the wasteland team making one or the old obsidian team makes one

[@ghastlyghandi4301]

The only reason fallout nv was the way it is is because they didn’t have to make the game. It was essentially just a mod of 3 and as such a lot of development time was spent less on actually coding and building their own thing and more on using fo3’s engine to create a bunch of little stories with branching paths. Same applies to fallout 2. If obsidian were to actually make a fallout game for the base up it would certainly not be as good as people expect, especially with their more recent games being kinda mid.

[@shadowsofsunsow3657]

NV was good because some dev who worked at nv were also worked for original two fallout games. Im not sure are they still working for obsidian

Yes please now

[@Casual_Tryhard_]

Fallout 3 and NV don’t work on AMD GPU’s since new drivers nearly 2 months ago. It’s tragic

[@pacman1187]

Given the writing of The Outer Worlds, I wouldn’t hope they would make anything as good as New Vegas anymore.

[@Kujer708]

NV runs fine

[@THEdemetrishigashikata]

No it is not the obsidian of old so id be afraid of them messing it up 😮

[@MisterAnonymous1000]

There's no way that TroubleShot is talking about Obsidian's track record without even peering over the aisle to see the dumpster fire that has been Bethesda's last two games. I don't think Fallout 4 was all that either, but it was better than what we got with 76 and Starfield.

[@iToxicMochi]

NO After playing The Outer Worlds, I can say for a fact that Obsidian is not the same developer we know and love from Fallout NV.

[@valleandrewZ]

microsoft is about to fast track a fallout game asap lets all chill guys

[@Bronzelizard02]

Outer worlds felt more like a fallout 4 to me than fallout 4 did, it got the atmosphere, characters, loot systems, story, etc that fallout 4 just didn’t put as much energy into. I don’t understand why people say the outer worlds isn’t good, it’s a great game that clearly had an insane amount of effort go into it and even if the next fallout game is more of that then new Vegas I’d be 100% satisfied

[@Soothsayrtw]

I’ve been playing outer worlds and man is it leagues over starfield in the ways that matter.

[@somerandomguy4919]

If Obsidian makes another fallout then they should make a soft reboot where in Fallout should take place in an alternate timeline before Bethesda's Fallout 3 of after New Vegas

[@SwampusMcGarniglus]

I havent been supremely evil in a video game for a long time, only obsidian can make a game that can handle the level of evil that i would like to be able to attain.

[@SkullyBones-mm5wh]

They would never allow it. The fact they.along with Amazon killed off NCR, Shady Sands and New Vegas in the show was a deliberate middle finger to what Fallout used to be. Todd can't really do rpgs these days. He just wants Borderlands in a Vaukt Boy skin suit. A remaster is probably out of the question as well. Word is they hate how 4 a76 keep getting compared to NV.

[@jansen4282]

Yep

[@TheBHAitken]

So long as they get Bethesda out of the writing business I'll be happy. Todd should just get his engine working before he decides to do anything else.

[@keptinkaos6384]

Some of us are waiting on the next iteration of outerworlds let alone another fallout.

[@RaNc0R]

YES.

[@billtheorc]

yes they should, there saved 13 min of your time :)

[@PoloMoney]

you forget this is the same studio who had no problem releasing Skyrim 4+ times so why would they let Obsidian do something great

[@gregoriocarreno]

I would like to play a Fallout in 2024. Which one do you recommend?

[@firstamerican7450]

It depends on what you personally enjoy and are looking for in games. If you want a more difficult, tactical and true to the words RPG then I would recommend the original Fallout 1 and 2. If you are more into 3d open world RPGs/action shooters then the 3d Fallouts are your jam, and for me you can't go wrong with New Vegas as in my eyes it is the best of the 3d Fallouts. If you just want an easy to get into middle of the road but still enjoyable for what it is, then play Fallout 4

[@naterod]

1,2, tactics and NV.

[@Snappybiscuits]

Remake or remaster of FNV is the least they can do if not making another full-fledged game
