1. There are no devs that worked on F1 and F2 in Obsidian
2. There are nearly none of Black Isle devs in Obsidian
Most of BIS devs are in Blizzard btw.

Stop giving such credit to Obsidian, it is a totally different studio than Black Isle and much much less talented.

Gee what a shock, here is Skyway rushing in to piss on Obsidian again.

Maybe Blizzard should develop it?

God, can you imagine. Pandaclaws. Sk8boarding Talking Pandaclaws from Japan who worship Mother Gaia and the Earth Spirits of the Forest and the Moon. In their native tongue they call themselves Shal'Dal'Wal'Nal'La

Look at that hollow, forced smile on Fallout Boys face while he is obviously crying inside for help.

What a trooper.

I hope his ass is okay when all is over and done with.

It should really be the Codex being buggered by Hines, given the amount of irreparable butthurt on display at this announcement. Skyway you really need to be put down.

So shut up you bunch of panty-twisted, whining, fairy morons. FO3 was good fun, and this should be a better game. Looking forward to it.

No matter how useful the railway rifle may be, and how "vampire people" implies actual vampires...it still was filled to the brim with stuff like a terrible combat system, a poor character system, awful enemies, ineptly designed dungeons, an idiotic atmosphere, awful writing, and run like shit...on the console that was it's primary platform. A few greatly designed quests don't go that far.

I went there. Page twenty here we come motherfuckers.

If they use many of the Van Buren ideas (characters, basic plot, etc.), it would also explain how there could be a shorter development cycle.
Click to expand...

The Van Buren plot is too big for a project of this scale. However, I do hope that they will reference some characters, events and places from Van Buren, if only to make them officially canon.

Hoover Dam is pretty damn close to Vegas, so some HD characters could appear in NV.

So there's a new Fallout project... where's MCA?

No, really: This is THE TRUE Fallout 3. Someone tell MCA to stop wasting his time with Alpha Protocol and start focusing on THIS. Screw Alpha Protocol, nobody cares about that.

But this? This is FOR REAL, man.
Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure MCA will join New Vegas once he's finished with AP.

You've got it all wrong. It's an add-on for Bethesda's Fallout 3 - most probably, no changes will be made in the gameplay department.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if they tweaked some of it, e.g. by adding traits, which shuld be fairly easy to do.

So if we have Obsidian guys here allow me to take advantage of you.

1) Will it feature turn-based combat and isometric view.
Click to expand...
No.
2) Will it be easily-moddable.
Click to expand...
Define "easily".
3) Will it be more serious like Fallout 1 or goofy like FO2?
Click to expand...
No.

Yeah, Matt is always good for some lulz.

Generally I'd agree with Dire Roach and Edward. Apart from this:

Might be nitpicking, but that statement is false on quite a few levels.

In before Obsidian fanboys complain that Bethesda forced them to rush the game before it had a proper ending.

These are good news I suppose, because if the witting in FO3 wasn't done by morons the game would be much better. But the fact that obsidian once again decides to make a game sequel from a borrowed franchise with a borrowed engine, makes them once more look like they are just a smaller company division for hire.

Why don't you just get on your knees Matt7895 and give Mister Sawyer a blowjob?

Oooooh Mister Sawyer, your game will be so good! I love Obsidian Entertainment, oooooh!

Because it might have good story, writing, dialogues and C&C?
Click to expand...

Too bad the gameplay will be tainted by Bethesda's questionable design decisions, which Obsidian's apparently forced to follow.
Unless FPP, VATS and simplified SPECIAL are to be thrown out the window, the game will inherit all of F3's flaws.

Gameplay-wise, sure. But bad writing and lack of good C&C are also some of the biggest flaws that might be averted. Even if we get a good story and design with shitty gameplay, I think it it could still be worth checking out.

I don't get it, why is blowing JE considered a bad thing? He's a good looking dude. Better than what most of you guys could pull on the average Saturday night.
