thats mental OOO is awesome

ThanatosDMC5351d ago

I know! He had the best mods then compiled them all together. I install OOO Full with Monster Madness... it crashes my PC sometimes due to the amount of stuff happening. But that's when i had a crappier PC compared to my rig now.

DARK WITNESS5352d ago

I like stories like this. the right people getting the right kind of jobs. look forward to the next fallout.

Hellsvacancy5352d ago

According to ShopTo, the game will be released at August 27 2010. And believe me ShopTo never lied when it comes to release dates so we can start celebrating right now. Oh and I'm happy for the guy. I hope they remove the level cap totally. So that levelling maniacs like me play the game with same character more.

Perjoss5352d ago

so basically ShopTo contacts the devs and tells them they cant delay their game because they already have a release date on their site and are ready to sell it! :D

Blacktric5351d ago

Well good point. I said it like it was a fact. I should've said "most of the time". Thanks for the heads up :P.

Fallout: New Vegas Director Happy To Make Another Fallout Game, But There's A Catch

Josh Sawyer, a Fallout series veteran, has certain conditions to be fulfilled before he could potentially start making another Fallout.

RaidenBlack41d ago

Microsoft ... just do one thing right?
You got Obsidian. You got Bethesda. Just make it happen!
Give free reign to Obsidian with higher budget and no restrictions (i.e deadline, metacritic score or wokeness)

just_looken41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

This would be nice but they are trying to pass Avowed as a next gen rpg while at the last minute doing a gut job and a large delay
https://www.ign.com/article...

https://www.ign.com/article...

Then on the back burner they still got outer worlds 2 3 yr old trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

avrowed from 4 years ago
https://www.youtube.com/wat...

they said there working on both games years ago 0 have come out which is not good.

I would love it too we got the las vegas team on the fallout ip again but right now it seems there is something bad going on over there.

Now larien studios right now was kicked out of hasbro the whole wizard coast situation so give that team the fallout ip.

Sciurus_vulgaris41d ago (Edited 41d ago )

@just_looken

You are trying to trash Obsidian, yet want the studio to work on New Vegas 2 ?

just_looken41d ago

@Sciurus_vulgaris

I know it hard for n4g users but read my links they themselves based on feedback delayed the game for a whole combat over hall

They even said after 4 years the graphics we saw are not finial they are "alpha stage"
https://x.com/klobrille/sta...

So i did not trash them i stated a fact this team has 2 games in the works one that is hidden and the other is currently getting a new combat system and graphics overhaul like halo got after that game play reveal.

Go ahead and say its a good thing after 4 years to redo the graphics/combat on a AAA game with M$ backing because to me that is showing there is something bad going on behind the scenes.

That being sad yeah i would love to have the fallout nv crew make another fallout game because outer worlds one was short but still a solid fun title.

DodoDojo40d ago

Won't happen, it makes too much sense.

Obscure_Observer40d ago

@RaidenBlack

"Give free reign to Obsidian with higher budget and no restrictions"

It´s not that simple. Fallout is a Bethesda IP and Todd Howard´s creation.

Free reign means that Sawyer could do whatever he wants in that universe. Such freedom could put both studios at odds given different creative views.

I don´t think Swayer would like MS giving unrestricted freedom to other teams to mess around with his Pillars of Eternity´s universe either, so I think it would be nice and respectful if he´d approach Todd himself first and share some of his ideas for a possible sequel to New Vegas, before going out making demands on the internet to make somebody´s else game.

porkChop40d ago

Fallout is not Todd Howard's creation. Bethesda bought the Fallout IP. Josh Sawyer also isn't making demands, he's just answering a question.

RaidenBlack40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

You got very little idea regarding gaming before Xbox 360 era.
Fallout is the spiritual successor to 1988's Wasteland, which came wayy before Todd Howard started making games (1995) and was created by Interplay, which later spawns Black Isle Studio, creator of Fallout 1 & 2, where Josh Sawyer also joins few years later. Black Isle Studios becomes Obsidian and Sawyer goes to direct Fallout New Vegas, arguably considered the best Fallout game.
"Free reign means that Sawyer could do whatever he wants in that universe."
~ Yea that's exactly how we got New Vegas, and we want that to happen again. Period.

victorMaje40d ago

Take a moment to appreciate the wisdom & history porkChop & RaidenBlack have kindly imparted upon you despite the amazing ignorance of your statement.

TheNamelessOne41d ago

It wasn't bad, but I didn't like the direction Bethesda took the series with Fallout 4. New Vegas is definitely my favorite in the series (Followed by 2), and would love to see them do another game. Another thing is Larian also spoke interest with the IP and that would be awesome.

shinoff218341d ago

Larian would do it so much justice, obsidian as well. I'm the same. I liked fallout 4 but holy hell was it dumbed down. Some stuff just wast interesting enough ie settlements.

RaidenBlack41d ago

An isometric spin-off from Larian and a New Vegas sequel from Obsidian will just be too good to be true ... and it all depends on Todd Howard

just_looken41d ago

Fallout 4 is also way worse on the base version when it was first tossed out beyond the bible of issues those dlc's made the horrible drop rates go away.

I had ammo factories on each run the you got the custom robot's that made packing these so much easier.

Still so dam sad that the starfield robot's even the ai path finding is way worse than F4

-Foxtrot40d ago

I’d love to have seen what New Vegas could have achieved if it had a proper development cycle, it had a better budget and Obsidian were supported more by Bethesda

The game was great regardless but seeing they had to cut content because of time constraints along with all the idea they talked about concept wise, it would have been even better than it already was.

Microsoft need to put Obsidian on Fallout, Bethesda just don’t have the time anymore.

Demetrius40d ago

Microsoft won't allow that smh, they'll can it after a reveal trailer then cry how they have no games lol. Seriously tho that would be dope, they should give vegas the fallout 4 treatment update visuals a bit and a 60fps patch I'd definitely play that too. Fallout 4 has been hella fun

The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion's Shivering Isles Is One Of The Best DLCs In Gaming

Oblivion's Shivering Isles is arguably the best DLC for any RPG and is still enjoyable after more than 17 years.

Snookies1285d ago

I was just thinking about that a few weeks ago. How amazing Shivering Isles was... Felt like a whole new world.

TheNamelessOne85d ago

So few game get true expansions anymore.

Charlieboy33384d ago

Witcher 3 Blood and Wine is the best dlc for any rpg....not even arguably. It is the best.

DustMan84d ago

Agree that Blood and Wine is an exceptional DLC cut from the same quality cloth of the main game. Shivering Isles was that over a decade ago, and was truly a unique setting from the rest of the game. Possibly one of the last major old school "expansion" packs.

TheColbertinator84d ago

Terrific expansion. A starkly different locale with new plants, wildlife, towns, weapons, quests, Daedra variations including a remarkable madman deity presiding over that beautiful freak show.

Bethesda may never make anything that good again and that saddens me.
