Elder Scrolls 6 or Fallout 4?

Post » Sun Jul 08, 2012 4:00 pm

So, what do you think we should see first, Elder Scrolls 6 or Fallout 4? I personally think we should see another Elder Scrolls since Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas were both FO games and they both game out before any *new* Elder Scrolls game sooo...yeah. Thats my opinion. Let's hear yours :smile:

We will see Fallout 4 first. This isn't even opinion. Bethesda won't go 4 or 5 years without developing a game.

What I want to see first is Elder Scrolls 6

What we will see first? More than likely Fallout 4 since Elder Scrolls Online is going to be coming out.

Makes me sad. New Vegas and I were not on the best of terms but if they do it right, then it should be good tho. I vote for Chicago being the next location or maybe some place abroad.

No, lol. Not what I meant XD. I mean it went Oblivion, then Fallout, then Fallout New Vegas, then Skyrim. To large of a gap with no TES game.

Fallout nb was not by Beth though.. So fallout 4. Besides they won't release tes6 on top of 5, that's bad marketing

I just think that since FO and FO:NV came out after Oblivion without a *new* TES game seperating the two, that TES 6 should come first.

New Vegas shouldn't be counted into the dev cycle due to the fact Obsidian, not Bethesda, made it.

Edit: Beaten too it by Rogue.

Think of it this way after Fallout 4 is released, TES online (I have no idea when it's due to come out) will be probably released afterwards and then TES 6. So two TES games in a row.

I also wouldnt mind seeing a new series either. Like a futuristic, Star Wars-esque feeling to it. But thatd be too much work lol.

I'm looking forward to Wasteland 2 instead of Fallout 4. (Which will probably be Bethesda's next game).

I'd much rather see Skyrim expanded upon before seeing any new game. It would be nice to see it supported for a couple of years.

TES Online is coming out in summer 2013. So it might even be TES V -> TESO -> Fallout 4 -> TES VI

Fallout 4 will come out before TES 6, which is a fact because TES 6 will be a next generation game, but I'm wishing Fallout 4 is but I seriously doubt that. If Fallout 4 comes out right before the end of the PS3/360, I'll be rather disappointed.

Unlikely, but it would be EXTREMELY nice if they made it a regularity to call Obsidian back to develop a "spin-off" Fallout title in between.

They're probably working on FO4 now or just starting with it....
By the time it's done, they'd be working on TES 6.
To fill the gap between FO4 and TES 6, call Obsidian back to make another Fallout title.

I personally prefer the TES series over the Fallout series, so yeah, Elder scrolls 6.

Does Obsidian deserve to work on another Fallout game? Bethesda gave them the short end of the stick last time. They paid Obsidian a flat rate, so even if it sold 35,000,000 copies, Obsidian wouldn't be any richer if it just sold 200,000. Since new Vegas got an 84/85 on metacritic instead of 85, they didn't get a bonus that was part of their agreement. While you could say that they don't deserve their bonus because they were off by 1 point, that one point was easily caused by Bethesda themselves because they handed Obsidian a faulty engine and they knew it. Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 were both incredibly buggy games, so New Vegas would be as well. So it looks like they were set up for failure. One of the main criticisms of New Vegas is the bugs, which are unavoidable with Gamebryo. Hell, when Skyrim was going through serious PS3 memory issues, it was an Obsidian dev who commented as to why that was happening, so Obsidian does know what's going on. Plus. Beth did the majority of not all the QA for New Vegas. I think Beth also wanted New Vegas out for a while and done with DLC wise before Skyrim would hit, because they don't want competing.

While nobody is worthy of creating a Fallout besides Obsidian, I just don't know if Obsidian truly deserves possibly going through Round 2 with Bethesda.

Which begs the question, why doesn't Bethesda just buy out Obsidian?

Chris Avellone is EASILY one of the most respected writers in the gaming industry, something Bethesda severely lacks. It's also simply a wise idea to hire on the original writers of Fallout, as it's my firm belief that the ORIGINAL artist behind the product is just going to naturally mesh better with the product than a third party. They know the ins and outs of it as they helped create it.

But perhaps the way New Vegas was handled is cheaper than paying Avellone and crew a regular salary like their own employees. If that's the case, I wouldn't be surprised if they DO hire Obsidian to make another Fallout title exactly how they did before. It's definitely profitable for Bethesda, and I think most Obsidian developers answer the question of "would you be willing to work on another Fallout game" with "in a heartbeat." Looking at it that way, I think it's actually fairly likely it could happen again.

As for your question of "does Obsidian deserve it," I think this is one of the uglier sides of capitalism, where Bethesda gets a majority stake in New Vegas' profits simply for owning the rights to the series, and not neccesarily for doing majority work (don't get me wrong, they obviously made the majority of the models, but I think it'd be very pretentious for Bethesda to claim majority work in the project. 50-50? Maybe, but not majority). Nevertheless, I personally would have a lot of respect for Obsidian if they did it anyways, if not for the money, than simply out of a love of what they do. In this case: making Fallout games.

So, what do you think we should see first, Elder Scrolls 6 or Fallout 4? ...

How about adding a poll?

I think we will see Fallout 4 first. Elder Scrolls games are huge and take a long time to put together. And I'm guessing Bethesda will basically alternate between FO and TES.

But I would like to see TES 6 first, assuming it is a quality game.

I really wish peopple would stop saying this. I won't happen, get over it already. bethesda owns Fallout now, either accept it, or move on to another series and let the rest of us that stll enjoy Fallout, enjoy it in peace.

FYI: I have now officially stopped playing Skyrim, and am now back to playing fallout: New Vegas. Note: I said new vegas, the one developed by Obsidian, and not fallout 3, the one developed by Bethesda.

As for which game I want to see next, that would be Fallout 4.

Well considering that Skyrim was just released I don't see Blackmarsh or Elsweyr or Akavir or wherever else it may be set being released before Fallout 4.
