I personally think Obsidian or one of the BGS devs would be honoured to work on a new Fallout game btw. This notion that MS will force it I think is untrue. Within the industry, the IP is revered.
I mean I get it, because both sides have said everything there is to say multiple times. Time to wait and find outā¦
Just debate from a business view and what Nadella has said about IP driving XGP subs.
They have a zillion IPās and games in development rigbt now to do that. Just not Fallout.
Why wait letās go around again now.
Making movies ā games.
I doubt they should be pumping out new fallout every 3 years. One game every 5 years would be more and maybe branching a second team from BGS should suffice or go with the current dev cycle. With so many popular ips under microsoft, they can rotate between them without any issues
Hindle they can he honored all they want but BGS would need to be ok with it and I doubt they want anyone (namely Obsidian) putting out a Fallout before them. Its all optics and pride from their perspective.
The real question here is what xbox studio can deliver me a Mass Effect style franchise PLEASE.
This is such a disingenuous strawman.
Iām not even mad. I respect the hustle.
But weāre not talking about making movies versus games, itās an analogy. Youāre supposed to extrapolate the logic from the premise and apply it to the subject at hand. Itās one thing if we disagree and another if weāre just in two entirely different plains of thinking within reason.
I can set a lot of people off ready, here is the summer track list. Iām sure Iām probably missing some.
- Halo has to be great otherwise itās dead
- E3 has to show something amazing otherwise whatās the point
- Fallout must be made every 36 months otherwise they will lose money
- E3 wonāt be good enough they need to do more
- Xbox needs to show gameplay and not CGI
- Xbox needs to show everything theyāre working on for the next 7 years but no CGI
- Game Pass needs to go on Switch
- Why should Game Pass go on Switch if Xbox gets nothing in return thatās unfair
- Xbox should make studios work on X game and pull them from Y game
- The Coalition should stop making Gears games and work on something else
We pretty much have this on repeat
What am I hustling lol? Yāall are making me feel like some enlightened big brain over here.
Iām more drooling over obsidian, inxile, BGS, zenimax online, compulsion, playground games, and rare sharing tech and techniques for open world RPGs. We have something great here.
I apologise. That certainly wasnāt my intention.
Too late. Thank you.
This is a huge deal that we probably wonāt see from the outside. Being able to email someone from a best in the genre studio to ask about something and talk about how they designed something, this is really cool. I canāt wait for the colabs like Halo x DOOM.
Yes please. Sign me up and hell Iād donate money for this and buy the game for 1000 bucks if they do that. Need this.
I dont know if they would crucify me for saying this, maybe have something like play as doom guy in halo infinite like how Bautista was marcus phoenix, or play as chief in the next Doom. Dont hate me XD
