“We are in the final stages of testing this update on both 360 and PS3 and we hope to have them out to users very soon.”
James at HPP writes: "Swapping out a nuclear Washington DC for a rechristened Las Vegas known as New Vegas, this Obsidian Entertainment-developed sequel propels the hallmarks of Fallout 3 to greater heights, thus becoming the ultimate progenitor."
Chris Avellone expands on his earlier claims that Fallout New Vegas dev Obsidian pitched Bethesda ideas for Elder Scrolls spinoffs.
Really Bethesda? Come on
We could have gotten to explore more of the regions or revisit old ones with another developer making them. Would have shortened the time between releases of the main games.
The issue here was Bethesda was butthurt that obsidian managed to develop a better fallout game at the time (new vegas) than theirs (fo3) so they didn't allow it.
It's funny how they're both owned by Microsoft now. They should be able to work together now.
Fallout 4 New Vegas is trying to remake the game but plenty of other volunteer places have given up, and Bethesda isn't helping things by not announcing a remake.
Probably because they don't want to acknowledge Obsidian made a Fallout game that feels a bit more Fallout like.
If Obsidian had a better budget and a full development cycle without being rushed this game could have been bigger and even better than it was.
He'll I'd really like to see them finally show some love to the orginals. Can't even get those on gamepass. Plenty of similar type games have been made for consoles so it can be done. People would go nuts for them. They did the og wasteland(well not bethesada) but just as an example. Bethesada treats the og fallout as bastsrd stepchildren. Why
Because of the game engine. Obsidian's Fallout "needs" to be done on the Creation Engine or else it won't have the same charm as New Vegas. An UnrealEngine based one will feel more like Outer Worlds due the lack of scripting that Creation Engine boast.
Now, the latest Fallout build is of the 76, which looks quite dated and is not fit for a future release.
On the other hand, the latest Creation Engine build is of Starfield, which will require quite a lot of re-work from Bethesda themselves after which Obsidian can work on.(And Bethesda teams are likely busy with Starfield fixes, DLCs and Elder Scrolls 6.) This was not the case case during New Vegas, where Fallout 3 build was readily available and Obsidian iterated over it to their liking and design.
Stop playing fallout in till the patch.
As long as I am not missing out on items or key characters or events appearing/activating, I can handle the simple pops here and there. After they patch it up though, that'll be sweeter. Maybe get the AA up on the PS3.
Thats cool, i wont b buyin it now till next week anyway, i owe my pot dealer too much money, gotta pay the fat mofo 2morrow, thats not to bad though, sounds like the patch will b out by the time i get paid next Wednesday, to b honest (as i am) i didnt really hav many problems with Fallout 3, had a couple of minor glitchs but nothin too bad, so i would buy F:NV its just i wont hav anythin to smoke whilst playin it (always helps)
I want to see a re-review with this patch, I know it wont stop all the bugs though
The first days of release were like an closed beta (entrance for $60) to even out bugs and glitches. IMO, what ever floats your boat and works is okay with me. I still am in fucking love with the game.
