Fallout New Vegas 2 Rumor and My thoughts on what it means

Obsidian‘s CEO Feargus Urquhart talked briefly about his vision of a new Fallout game and the possible direction he would go about creating it.

Brian Jakubson of Max Level: "Now for those of you that haven't followed the Fallout series from the beginning, should the game move out west we would be introduced with a lot of old locations from Fallout 1. And with Feargus mentioning the Boneyard as one of them or even as its starting point, it gives us a general idea of the make up of the map we could see...."

What are you looking most forward to with the next Fallout Installment?

Irishguy954089d ago

I hope it's like New Vegas and not Bethesda made games/

Level scaling completely ruins bethesda games for me. I wish Skyrim had two modes.

Morrowind/New vegas mode
Skyrim/fallout 3 mode

Alot of people don't mind and even prefer level scaling...for me though...it literally completely ruins the game and I see no point in playing anymore.

MeatheadMilitia4089d ago

Obsidian does the West Coast Versions of the Game while Bethesda does the East coast versions of the game. If New Vegas 2 is done, it'll be made by Obsidian. When Fallout 4 is done, it'll be made by Bethesda. They do this because both are more knowledgeable in the locations in which their HQs are, which allows for them to scale and create better looks maps.

brish4089d ago

New vegas actually does have level scaling but it's done much better than fallout 3, and skyrim.

Actual choice.
Good writing.
A SPECIAL system that is actually rewarding.
Deeper gameplay mechanics.
Branching story paths.

Really, I just want another Obsidian developed Fallout game. With a longer development cycle, obviously.

MeatheadMilitia4089d ago

I think the only way we are going to get a Multiplayer Fallout game is if they go the MMO route, which, pending on how Elders Scrolls Online does, might be their next step.

NameRemoved00174089d ago

I think they should add co-op but not force it to be used for the people that want to play by themselves. Like saints row 3 did.

cl19834089d ago

It could really interesting on expansion packs.

Tr10wn4089d ago

IMO Fallout MMO was the way to go, i would have made TES a next gen MMO with better graphics and no loadings.

jon12344089d ago

no!!!! NO MULTIPLAYER!!! AND NO MORE VEGAS...... :( god damn new generation of gaming...

TheSaint4089d ago

Why wouldn't you want co-op? Or do you have no friends??

jon12344089d ago

ha... nice try... but fallout has always been a single player adventure for me, adding online to it will just ruin the series for me

josephayal4089d ago

New vegas 2 Meh! I want Fallout 4

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

CrimsonWing697h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker7h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing696h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave22h ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto21h ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno21h ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai21h ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast2d ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood2d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 22h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast1d 3h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 20h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast1d 3h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon1d 16h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast1d 3h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon18h ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake21h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast20h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
