Microsoft’s Xbox to Shift Obsidian Studio to New ‘Fallout’ Video Game

I mean Josh Sawyer is leading it and Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are both at Obsidian and I imagine they'll be pulled in, as well as a bunch of other folks - so no idea what you're talking about?

outer worlds was not that good (imo) avowed was decent. would be insane to just assume theyd catch lightning in a bottle again

its the fault of the player becoming godlike. do you remember the first time you played? even at the end game, i was struggling against enemies and banking on my companions to bail me out. but now that i know what to do, and know how to maximize perk selection, gear, and where to loot and sell stuff, no wonder i become godlike

fallout shelter 3, take it or leave it

I mean you have two of the most important contributors to Fallout 1 & 2, and the project director from New Vegas - if they can't do it, it can't be done.

For what it's worth I really liked Outer Worlds 1&2 and PoE I & II, as well as Avowed - so whatever they make, I'm probably going to enjoy it.

Hmmm. Toss in a fake nylon bag and you've got a deal

you have zero knowledge on the subject and this comment shows it

best i can do is moldy helmets

Honestly, the new Odsidian game is not going to be on the same level of New Vegas. Due most of the people who made NV left Odsidian (mainly the writers) years ago.

That would be Xbox and PC and everything except Playstation

They supposedly just canceled Avowed 2, which would have been about a year in development, to get the ball rolling on this.

Microsoft has a history of corporate meddling (if 343's devs experiences are accurate) but you are right, they can't really afford to mess this one up, so I'd hope they let the talent do their thing and make a great game.

I think the saving grace may be this:

Previously, Sawyer had been directing a roleplaying game that was similar structurally and thematically to Fallout but was not part of the franchise.

I almost wonder if they knew this might happen and Josh was in pre-production on "totally not Fallout but actually Fallout" as an insurance policy. Also, Tim Cain actually recently came back to Obsidian full-time - which may just be a coincidence, but is _very_ convenient for making the argument for them to be given the project.

I don't get this mentality of deciding something isn't as good before it's even been created yet. I don't even think New Vegas is Obsidian's best RPG. I'd say that's Pillars 2.

The games that they've said are going to be Xbox exclusive are still coming to PC.

Most notably, John Gonzales, the actual writer on New Vegas, is also there.
