I was wondering if bethesda will let obsidian make another fallout spinoff like new vegas, I think that this is clearly something the fallout community would love but since fallout new vegas didn't meet the metacritic score that bethesda wanted would that change things?

They should let Obsidian reboot FO 1 and 2

God I hope so, I loved what Obisidian did with Fallout: New Vegas and it'd be great to see their new (hopefully west coast) material.

Now that Tim Cain is on the team that might not be a terrible idea.

I would love to see another Fallout by Obsidian, if New Vegas is what they can do in one year with gamebyro, I can't imagine how amazing the game would be if they were given more time and better/updated engine.

If only it would be a beautiful thing seeing Obsidian developing the West Coast lore and adding new features that Bethesda can use for their East Coast games. We can really hope this will continue or I guess a new development team with ex Obsidian developers but I'd feel more comfortable with Obsidian at the helms.

I'd love to see another Fallout game by Obsidian after this, no matter what Metacritic says, New Vegas was regarded as an even better game on the whole.

Absolutely. This is the thing I most look forward to one day seeing in this series.

It depends on if Obsidian is available to do it.

It also depends on if their studio can handle this kind of triple-a development.

And then it depends on if Bethesda will give them enough damn time to finish the game.

Finally, it depends on if they are at good terms, and considering Bethesda snuffed the royalties from Obsidian because of one measly metacritic point, something that Bethesda was responsible for in the first place, and considering that Obsidian can now crowdfund games if they so choose, I doubt they'll be head over heels to want to create another Fallout game under Bethesda's conditions.

We might get a spin-off, but InXile is too small and Obsidian might not be on best terms with them. So what then, Interplay? Yeah that worked out well with Fallout Online.

If we get a spin-off it'll probably be by a studio that doesn't have any former Fallout developers.

the precedent set by fnv being released is what has me so excited about fo4 coming soon--the possibility (however slight) that obsidian would be licensed to do another west coast game later

Obsidian is even taking MMO jobs from Russians, I'd say they wouldn't turn such an offer. They only need to craft the world and the like, they'd still be doing less work than most of their games which they had to build from scratch.

While I'm sure Obsidian was disappointed that they came so close but fell short, I doubt they hold it against Bethesda. Both parties are businesses and in the business world the contract is the contract. Companies have to adhere to it to protect their interests, because if they 'let it slide' for one party, they could end up being sued by other parties who don't get similar treatment. Everyone acts like Bethesda wronged them, somehow, but had the situations been reversed Obsidian would have done the same thing and both parties know it.

I would love to see another Obsidian made Fallout. Hell, I wish Bethesda would let other companies make original IPs using their engine as well. Bethesda style games are easily my favorite time sink.

Mmmm... InXile would actually be a better option. Obsidian did good with New Vegas in a years time. But I want to See fallout return back to it's true roots.

Dark Humor, and point and click RPG.

But please for the love of god... FRIGGEN DROP USiNG UNITY. Yes, you can produce a game faster with it. But honestly, for a lot of games it's just better to build your own engine if you want to do expansions! Not to mention Unity has a whole slew of problems across a broad range of systems. And performance with it is always bare minimum!

I hope so. Obsidian gets Fallout and hold dear more of the things that interest me (quest depth, character depth, faction depth, ect) so I'd be extremely happy if they got to do another one.

Why?

Because imagine how well they'd sell if they were carbon copies of Fallout 4.

Awesome idea! It would be great if they brought fallout 1&2 up to speed

If that were the case they don't need Obsidian to do it. I'm sure Bethesda could piss off long lasting fans of the series all by themselves

No no no, Bethesda gotta do The Elder Scrolls VI: Black Marsh and rip out the alienating features of it to make it as bland as possible.

They ain't got time to develop the remakes themselves. They'll probably team up with a Microsoft studio to remake 'em.

i did read somewhere that spin off might be coming next year but not made by bethesda or obsidion but by a new developer i will look for the post

What do you mean? Fallout 4 is a spin-off.

no

Well it's doing more of what a spin-off would do rather than what a sequel would do.

Doesn't really matter if they put a number at the end of its title.

What do you want to tell us with this? It's confirmed to be fake now. And it was never believable. Nearly everything on this is false.

Fallout: Empire, anyone? Let's get our butts to New York and tear it up! You know what they say: If you end up here, you ain't going anywhere!
