Report: Leak Confirms Fallout 5 In Development, Pre-Production Has Already Begun

A leak has revealed Fallout 5 development is already underway.

[magiciandude]

Hopefully they learn from their mistakes with Fallout 4 and actually make a next-gen game. Fallout 4, while good, is predominantly a last-gen game.

[gangsta_red]

They need to add back the more RPG elements from 3 and New Vegas.

[Anthotis]

Indeed. It was an overhyped, last gen, open world shoot em up that was lapped up by the mouth breathers.

If they're using the same crappy engine then i doubt i'll bother with Fallout anymore, because they've once again placed huge restrictions on what they can do by using that bugbryo piece of trash.

[frostypants]

So they need to add back stuff from last-gen in order to make it less of a last-gen game?

[gangsta_red]

@Frosty

Wha? Really wish I knew what you were talking about.

[frostypants]

@gangsta_red, sounds like you have a problem with reading comprehension.

First guy said Fallout 4 was a "last gen" game.
You then implied they could fix it by bringing in features from what are last gen games.

[gangsta_red]

@Frosty

No where did I agree or even imply that Fallout 4 was a last gen game in my comment. That was Magician's own personal opinion of the game.

And I definitely didn't even hint that it could be fixed with bringing back the RPG elements.

I was commenting on what I personally thought was missing from 4 that was in 3 and NV and I "implied" that I would like to see those elements comeback for Fallout 5.

This is what we like to call a conversation about the topic. Care to join or are you still confused?

[Rayven]

What they need to do is spend time developing a new engine and make a new Elder Scrolls game.

A huge part of playing open world games for me is how beautiful the world is. I haven't played Fallout 4 and that's because it does look last gen and a wasteland simply isn't pretty.

I know it's just my opinion, people seem to enjoy wastelands and that's fine. But I really wish they would just make the next TES or maybe even a new IP.

[SoulWarrior]

I dunno, I mean it had issues but put it next to 3 or NV and it's night and day to me.

Still I hope for another Elder Scrolls before this sees the light of day.

[SolidStoner]

the last elder scrolls for me was Morrowind everything else after that did less for me...

But fallout in other hand.. I play it since Fallout 1, 2, then 3, NW and now 4... the best for me was Fallout new vegas, I think for obvious reasons!

Hope next fallout will come out soon enough and it will be just as good as F4 with more RPG elements!

[DarkOcelet]

I believe what he meant by predominantly a last-gen game is that game is that it added nothing new from which we could have already seen last gen.

[Black0ut]

Yep agreed! By no means did I not enjoy Fallout 4 but it did feel far less RPG-like in a sense than any of the previous entries. Played it for 35 hours but I can't go back to it as I much prefer New Vegas any day of the week.

Fingers crossed that Beth do a better job on the next entry.

[Ocsta]

Even though I ADORE Fallout 4 and put over 300 hours into it, it seriously needs to feel like an RPG...

[-Foxtrot]

They just dumbed it down too much like what they did to Skyrim

Too much shooting. I had so much ammo at the start of the game alone. In F3 it would have too me untill half way through to acquire the stuff I had

[IGiveHugs2NakedWomen]

Definitely agree. They should actually focus on the survival aspects of the game by decreasing the amount of ammo that can be found for heavy weapons and decrease the number of stimpaks that are to found. Having an abundance of supplies makes the game too easy.

[babadivad]

Skyrim was such a disappointment to me.

[sanosukegtr123]

I still haven't finish the main story. Oh well.

No....no it doesn't bud.

I've put well over 200 hours in Fallout 3 across the PS3 and PC version, I've put around 60 hours in Fallout 4 thus far on the PS4 version and I can say that its not a "last gen game" By any stretch.

[Hellsvacancy]

I totally agree but it's going to be no different, Fallout 4, as it is with it's low end grpahics, less rpg elements etc is their fastest selling game

Doubt they'll break the formula that has made them so much money

[UnHoly_One]

What does that even mean?

It's a "last gen game"?

That doesn't make any sense. It came out on the PS4 and XB1. It's a current gen game.

I don't care if you liked it or not but calling it a "last gen game" is a meaningless way to insult it.

[jonivtec]

Whats kill me was the Animation.....it was felling like playing a post-apocalitic skyrim.I still enjoy it but i wont buy fallout 5 if they dont fix the last gen appeal of it.

[_-EDMIX-_]

Good riddance bud, I don't really think they care as the concept of the game just doesn't rest on such a thing.

I enjoyed the game and I'm still playing it with over 60 hours and counting.

I know not of anyone who is buying a damn game based on animations..... smh

You might enjoy a pixar movie though =) I play games....well to play them bud.

[HAC522]

Not with that lead writer they insist on keeping around, they wont.

[ZayZay_11]

Not surprised

[DarkBlood]

not without giving us another elder scrolls first.

[Alexious]

Yeah, I don't buy it at all.

[NukaCola]

Only way it's a new FALLOUT, is if it's separate studio. It makes zero sense that Bethesda would split up the team that much. I bet 20% are are on the FO4 DLC team and the remaining is doing ES VI. I am sure FO5 is a concept in a book but I don't think it's a game we will see this generation at all.

[_-EDMIX-_]

lol, I think they are still doing an Elder Scrolls and likely already started development on it years ago.

We are not really sure who is even doing the next Fallout as Obsidian has showed interest in wanting to do another one, it could very well be them.

More Fallout is always welcome. I for one enjoyed Fallout 4 and if Obsidian change some things....I'll be fine, they keep the forumla the same.....I'll still be fine lol

Any fallout is a good thing to me, not a cry baby, not a nit picker. As an older gamer, I've seen IPs just out right disappear, developers go under etc. I never take for granted what IPs we have.

For some of the fallout fans to be crying over 4 as much as they are is just childish.

Ask the RE fans how they are loving how bro dude RE is now, ask the Xenosaga fans how that turned based RPG is going. Be happy we have a damn Fallout of this quality at all as many, many games didn't make it and I feel fans should be at least some what appreciative that they can still play a title like Fallout 4.

Us older gamers don't have a sequel to Xenosaga, will likely never see a sequel to title like Zone Of Enders and other niche games. You won't realize just what you had until its gone folks.

I recall hating RE3 as a child and it was always such a joke to my friends and I growing up.

After RE4-6......I realize just how silly and childish I was to really dislike RE3 the way I did, playing it over again, its still a great RE title and I find that next to Code Veronica, its my last favorite RE title in regards to the series order.

One day folks.....one of those IPs you keep complaining about will either change, get bought out, go under etc and I wonder if crying over it not looking good "enough" was really worth it when it doesn't exist at all.

[--bienio--]

Same engine?? F@&# Not interested.

[UgoGalimbertti]

I see your point, but do they have to make an entire new engine for each game? Like... seriously?

[philm87]

No chance they'll make a new engine from scratch, there's no need. Must be one of the best game engine's if not the best. All they have to do is continue to improve it.
I went back to Fallout 3 because I was confused why people were complaining about Fallout 4, there's massive improvements. People don't like that the graphics aren't as good as the top next gen games on consoles, but there's so much more interactivity than other games. On console they won't be able to do too much more with this generation.

[UgoGalimbertti]

Exactly! The graphics aren't all. And even if they were, Fallout 4 is not an ugly game...

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Philm- Agreed. Fallout 4 put side by side with some of the best looking games this gen, holds well compared to Fallout 3 last gen.

I love the complexity of how Fallout 4 looks, from time of day, to fog, to haze, to acid rain, to how the textures look like when it rains on the ground, objects, clothes etc. They did an amazing job with Fallout 4 and I just love walking around and just being immersed in its universe.

I have no clue how anyone thinks Fallout 3 is even near what Fallout 4 is even compared to the top games released thus far.

Fallout 4 is on pair with some of the top games, Fallout 3 for its time wasn't.

I think they did a fine job with the game. They have to save processing for other task. This is a damn OPEN WORLD RPG! They have tons and tons of things to process and I'd rather they focus on making it work and look good, vs just looking good in some linear bore fest.

I anyone loved Fallout 3 even though it wasn't the best looking game last gen, whats changed this gen? IF someone is crying due to a degree of difference from graphics based on the TOP GAMES, I question why they game in the first place.

Watch a pixar movie and have at it lol. Loved Fallout 3 regardless of how it looked, LOVE Fallout 4 REGARDLESS of how it looks I think its looks STUNNING!

[MrsNesbitt]

It's really not surprising it's already in development. I just hope they use a fresh engine!

[baldulf]

Who can believe this?

Bethesda is busy enough making DLC for Fallout 4 and next they'll make a new Elder Scrolls.

[UziSuicide]

It's preproduction, it doesn't mean we'll see it anytime soon.

[Goldby]

aka some guy form the studio is out to brunch, orders an omlette and mimosa, takes the napkin and writes FALLOUT 5 on it. preproduction is done

[ibrake4naps]

will be ready for the next playstation and xbox

[Naughty_Cloud]

I just hope its built around a brand new game engine, not the same recycled stuff from last gen. That engine is really starting to show its age.

[Kreisen]

Im just patiently waiting for a new ES.

[Phoenix76]

It quite possibly that Obsidian will be making this one. And I certainly hope they are. Also i dont think most people realize that next year will be the Fallout franchises 20th anniversary

[SlightlyRetarted]

Obsidian should lure Chris Avellone back and make Fallout 5 for sure.

[SlightlyRetarted]

Beth, now that you have FPS stuff where it needs to be, bring back the RPG elements, good quests and dialogue. Don't be shy to look New Vegas for inspiration. If future trailers reveal that it's like F4, it will be bought from bargain bin.

[Bobafret]

Thanks, but I will worry about this at most 6 months out from release. Until then, this isn't news.

[Chaosdreams]

This "news" is completely useless. I plan to go on a cruise in three years.

Let's talk about that now. Really?

[AizenSosuke]

Fallout 5 in 2020!

[OutcastMosquito]

Fallout 3 was Bethesda and new Vegas was obsidian. Please for the love of the franchise, give it it obsidian!!! I want an actual RPG/shooter not fallout sims edition

[immabadguy]

Please be from Obsidian!

[MrBobSugar]

They should finish Fallout 4 first.

[BongSmack]

Don't they usually write dialogue for a game before bringing in voice talent. And don't they usually build the game to some extent before writing dialogue for it? I call BS.

[ninjahunter]

I hope its not on the same engine, not due to graphics, but because the input lag on PC is insane, even with the fixes.

[Azzanation]

Feel sorry for the game releasing at the same time as this.. sarcasm
