Hey could Fallout support a franchise developed by two different companies? Two years one by Bethesda, two years one by Obsidian... rinse, repeat.

Why not?

It probably is a one shot deal though.

Or perhaps:

Fallout 1, 2, 3 .... 4, 5, 6... bla bla by Bethesda

Fallout 'non-US location': 1, 2, 3... by Obsidian

It feels like a one-off to me. I suppose we'll see what happens based on the success of FO:NV.

Feels like a one off to me, I just wanted 24/7 fallout. In fact I wouldn't if bombs went off, 2 headed brahmin, ghouls and super mutants actually appeared as long as I could get more Fallout action, YEAH!!!

Fallout MMO.

You now, it might be nice if Obsidian gets us a more "traditional" RPG feel, and sell that under the now-lucrative Fallout name. Now, I'm fine with the general execution of Bethesda's combat. Still, having much more strongly-weighted stats, rather than intentionally breaking the weight of the stats and then charging $10 for it, would be nice.

Is this ever done before? I mean one developers studio making one part of the franchise, and another making other parts. I don't think this has been done before. And there will be fans for one part of the series and the other part lol...this is funny. Oh wait they did that with call of duty too, and in that community there are mostly CoD4 fans and less CoD5. I'm very curious to where this is going, hopefully it will be good ^^.

It has not only been done before, it's been done for Fallout! You know, Fallout: Tactics?

[Lily Something]

It's a very standard procedure to lease a title to another company. Companies like Nintendo for instance, lease out their in-house names all the time. Super Mario/Legend of Zelda/Metroid, they've all been leased on more than one occasion. This is true for the PC market aswell.

Ah okay, never played that one. Was it good?

[Silvia Gil]

Er.

It was different. It was a tactical strategy game, not an RPG, and it was pretty inconsistent with the first two games. I didn't like it personally, but a lot of old school fans enjoy it or like it for what it is.

[Vincent Joe]

It captured the Fallout world to an extent, it was developed by a company called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_Forte. One of the inconsistencies was in many of the weapons being post WWII, which doesn't match the the http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Divergence, of Fallout's timeline. The game itself is combat-centric, and has almost zero RPG aspects (dialogue is restricted to being talked to, you never respond, for instance), and the story is mission driven, although you can still travel the world map similar to the originals, locations are usually the setting of a mission, and are rarely revisisted, though you still can if you want to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_Tactics never pretendied to be anything it wasn't, so it was accepted as a spin-off, it's called 'Tactics' and that's exactly what it provides, a more strategic, combat-centric game with a nice twist on the ruleset to that end.

And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, don't tell me you forgot BoS!

[Sxc-Mary]

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel wasn't subcontracted to another company, it was just done by a division of Interplay other than BoS.

[Lyndsey Bird]

And Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, don't tell me you forgot BoS!

No, no I did not forget PoS. It's a different circumstance.

I'm not looking forward to that one in the least really. :sadvaultboy:
~but ya never know... As long as its not a WoW clone...

[Bird]

If anyone is as much as a fallout nut as me u'll be happy to know that GameStop is now taking reserves for New Vegas. i put $5 on my copy today. they had June 2010 as the release date but they said not to count on it and that it will probably be pushed back. I'm really hoping it will be round june but i kinda doubt it at the same time. All i know is that im really looking forward to it. :fallout:

[keri seymour]

The way I see it, GameStop is probably just taking a rough stab at the date for the sake of selling pre-orders.

[Kyra]

Anything new to add aye Mr. Sawyer? new info for us? please???!!?!?! I see you down there!

[Rhi Edwards]

J.E. Sawyer? Lead Designer of Van Buren J.E. Sawyer? Strangely disappearing Fallout PnP "Simple" ruleset Sawyer?

....Apparently involved with New Vegas Sawyer?!

[clelia vega]

damn it Orc boy you scared him away!

[Anthony Rand]

You started it.

[Trent Theriot]

Very nice this news about New Vegas..but I am wondering if they are already working on it several years. Because if they have just began, and release it 2010, how can it ever become a good game? Slightly worried.
