Check this out. I'm not joking.

What do you think?

EDIT: Sorry about the name. It's supposed to be Fallout: New Vegas. My bad.

Already read it but i am still very excited. Since this game is not being made by Bethesda i wonder when the next Elders scrolls game comes out. Though it will certainly be years from now.

Yeah. I've been wondering that too. Oblivion has been and still is the best game I've ever played in my entire life. I can't wait for the next Elder Scrolls game. It will be incredible. I hope Fallout: Las Vegas (or whatever it gets named) turns out really good, especially since it isn't being created by Bethesda.

I'm so confused. If Bethesda has nothing to do with this game...then why are they the ones announcing it?

It might b good but I'm not getting my hopes up since it's not Bethesda who's making it. It's Fallout: New Vegas by the wayRobboElRobbo

Thanks for telling me the right name.

they still own the right to fallout and will have a say in the project as well as people from bethesda will be working on it but a majority of the game will be made by the other company which is made up of some of the people that made the first 2 original fallout games, i think they let the other company make it because they want their attention to go towards another project and this way they know the game will be in good hands because they where the ones who came up with the fallout universe in the first place

Exactly.

Yeah, I'll be looking forward to this game. Fallout 3 was awesome, so if this new one is anything like it, then it will be all good for me.

IF betheseda doesnt announce TES:5 soon ithink ill die.

Ah I see, thanks for clearing that up.

I'm looking forward to this. Fallout 3 was great but Bethesda recycled too many elements from Oblivion, which isn't a bad thing really I just think a more original game will come out of this hopefully.

RobboElRobbo

They're producing it. I"m not sur how this will work, because Obsidian is made up of many members of Black Isle Studios, who made the original Fallout games. The two companies are bitter rivals. I have a feeling that this is going to be chaotic.

Bethesda is publishing it. I think that's what you meant, I'm just clarifying.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't see that someone else already said this.

I still gots to beat the first.

im uber excited about this game. i really loved F3. and i would love to explore a whole new city... n i cant think of a better one then post apocalyptic vegas. with all the casinos n parks n stuff.

wonder if "las vegas" is gonna be anything like "new reno"

IF betheseda doesnt announce TES:5 soon ithink ill die.

I think that it's really weird that it isn't a bethesda game. I watched an interview with a high up in Bethesda and they said they had bought the rights to make 3 (more?) Fallout games and they were very excited to do so. And it sounded like they were going to prioritize that over Oblivion. Guess he was wrong though, and as a bigger Oblivion fan than Fallout i'm pleased to hear Bethesda is working on ES: 5 (Skyrim?)

I'm pretty sure this will be the fabled Fallout MMORPG. This game was proposed in 2006 by Interplay, but Interplay went under, which is why Bethesda even HAD the rights to fallout in the first place. However the rights to the game were filed in 2006 before Bethesda bought the rights. Obsidian Entertain is an offshoot of Black Isle Studios (The creators of the first 2 Fallout games), It will therefore most likely be third person, as the first two Fallouts were. Not to mention online. This means that many people who like Fallout 3 will be disappointed, while those of us who can remember Fallout 1 and 2 are as excited as monkeys in a mango field. When the game comes out don't judge it as totally different

gamespot JUST had a story maybe a week ago about how Bethesda pulled the plug on the MMORPG so no, new vegas prolly wont be it and new vegas will most likely look and play exactly like fallout 3 because Bethesda still owns the rights to the fallout name so if they dont like what obsidian comes up with it will never be released and if bethesda wanted fallout 3 to have the "birds eye view" of the originals they would have made it that way

I agree. Fallout 3 and Oblvion are my two favorite games, but I'd rather have a new Oblivion over a new Fallout. It's great that we'll be able to get both, and I can't wait to find out more about both these games. I wonder which Fallout will turn out better, now that it is being made by the orginal creators with some help from Bethesda...

I'm skeptical. It's being handled by Obsidian, and even though they were one of the companies that rose from Black Isles ashes, they ruined KotoR.

Personally, I think you've been fooled. All of Black Isle studios founding officers now run Obsidian, I don't feel as though they would throw away their long fought MMO. The article you referenced simply stated intent to pull the plug and they refused to elaborate as they were "legal matters". So I'm pretty sure Bethesda's announcement that Obsidian would be working on the project justifies my previous statements. As you already know Bethesda is famous for their first person view, whereas Interplay (specifically Black Isle which Obsidian is an offshoot of) was popular for their birds eye third person games such as the first 2 Fallouts along with the Icewind Dale, and Baldur's Gate series'. Obviously Obsidian Entertainment are creatures of habit,(as every single game these people have been involved with has been totally third person) this leads me to believe that you are in fact wrong in your assumption that Bethesda is the all powerful king of the Fallout series, and that Bethesda would actually GIVE their blessed gamebryo engine to the people who obviously defeated them in court, so that they can in turn make money from it. And since Bethesda has already announced Obsidian games' involvement with the intellectual property of Fallout, they will have no say in the matter of whether or not it "will never be released".

Fallout 3 was fun, but I want my damn TES:5. Perhaps, in passing the Fallout franchise along, Bethasda is focusing on TES?

can't wait.

I loved Fallout 3, but now that Bethesda's not making it,I'm not so sure. I guess I'll have to see game play before I buy it.whitey728

Looks like a must buy to me.

ha i guess the elder scroll v rumors for 2010 died

Better be good, it's got me excited.

Fallout: Las Vegas = will be BORING and DULL!

Fallout: New York = could be GREAT and EXCITING!

....and the something goes for the new Dead Rising game.

It's not like they just picked a random city. Obsidian, aka full of Fallout creators, chose New Vegas because 1) It goes with the series, as a man named Gizmo from Junktown mentioned his former life in Vegas. It was also mentioned by Tycho. 2)They wanted to return to the American West Coast.

old news, and its called fallout: New vegas

PEOPLE ITS THE ORIGINAL COMPANY WHO MADE THE ORIGINAL FALLOUTS BEFORE FALLOUT 3 THEY ARE MAKING IT!!!!!!!!!!

hotshot9946

YES!!! Understand this. The people who made Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, and were halfway done with Fallout 3, are returning to the series! It's the best thing to happen to the series ever!

they still own the right to fallout and will have a say in the project as well as people from bethesda will be working on it but a majority of the game will be made by the other company which is made up of some of the people that made the first 2 original fallout games, i think they let the other company make it because they want their attention to go towards another project and this way they know the game will be in good hands because they where the ones who came up with the fallout universe in the first place

I think he meant Obsidian, since it was founded by a bunch of ex-Black Isle members.
