Fallout: New Orleans used to be the talk of the town. Now, however, it is being replaced with an even less likely rumor - Fallout: New Vegas 2.
An opinion piece on the most absurd ways games are defying the logic.

That being said: games people, please pay attention to me and give me what I want.
I’ll be at E3 in a couple of weeks, and if I see even half of what’s in this list, I will be a very happy boy.
Now that the dust has settled on that Fallout New Vegas 2 rumor from a couple of weeks back, lets talk about the possibility of it actually happening.
Hope not
If you are going to spend years doing a new Fallout game then give us a new location. The map in New Vegas was alright but not something you could reuse again.
Washington state area would be cool. New area but could still bring back some of the characters. Although I would like a time skip, maybe 50 years later or something.
I think WA would be great for it. they could do some interesting stuff with Seattle considering its a city built on top of another city.
New vegas was the best fallout bethesda created.. so I see no surprise, while I would love to see a new area, I loved vegas for its vibe and colours, not to mention desert (in post nuclear war it reminds me of Terminator 2 desert scenes, really epic if done properly!). would be cool to revisit that area in bigger, better scale!
With everything Fallout 4 did absolutely wrong, reusing a map (probably future) and changing it enough to feel new is the least of the worries this possible project could have. Fallout 4 was supposed to have this awesome Boston setting. Rarely see anything that makes you think Boston. The entire center of the map was boring, the lower right corner didn't have much going on. Lower left corner was baron.
Cause Boston was hit with a nuke so makes sense it didn't resemble a like for like version
I agree, would like a new location but I would also want this group that did Vegas to make the next Fallout.
Fallout 4 imo was one of the biggest let downs this gen.
I dont think obsidian gonna work with bethesda soon, but who knows, they are working in poe 2 right now.
No
I admit I did not like Fallout 4 as much as I like Fallout 3 but please dear God let's not exaggerate, it was not that serious.
I like obsidian as a developer but the reality is when they created Fallout New Vegas and also when they created Knights of the Old Republic 2 they were creating something off of a pre-existing concept that another developer created so with the exception of pillars of Eternity we don't really know just how much this developer can do from the absolute round up, so I would actually rather Bethesda create the Fallout base game and then have Obsidian add on to it.

"...but please dear God let's not exaggerate, it was not that serious."
I keeping making the mistake that Edmix's opinion is way more imoprtant than anything else in life, forgive me.
"I like obsidian as a developer but the reality............"
I pretty much dozed off at that point.
True. They need a fresh engine, new enemies, a completely different map etc...
I'd like another game from these guys, but A it would have to be in the future with a lot changed (bigger hubs, map should extend farther out by a lot). I don't see a real issue with it beyond it being the same map, which could totally be worked around. I'd much rather have this than Fallout 4. Man that game had identity issues. Dialogue wheel? Talking protagonist? No thank you.
Yeah, I think they realised the dialogue wheel and talking protagonist wasn't a big hit with the fans, so it would be nice to see them take a slight step back, create something akin to New Vegas while working on improving the game engine OR one day...use a new engine.
There's a lot less RPG to boot. Fallout 4 really wasn't that great. The inventory system was screwed up worse than New Vegas. Tons of hit detection problems as always. It didn't give the improvements the series needed. Mainly size, density, and hit detection.
I'm really hoping for a new elder scrolls. I mean we already had a new fallout game so I'm hoping for something else from Bethesda.
Oh gods give me NV2,i'm ready.
Not gonna happen
