Okay I don't know whether this belongs on the news thread or not, but since it does involve someone from New Vegas Development Team, I figured I'd be fitting to post it here!


So yeah, as you can see Fallout New Vegas Lead Creative Designer/Writer John Gonzalez announced a few days ago that he rejoined Obsidian Entertainment. Now even though he immediately clarified that he isn't going to be working on a Fallout New Vegas 2, it does open up a lot of possibilities, I mean he could work on original non Fallout related projects. Or maybe even a future Fallout game besides a New Vegas 2, I don't know what do you guys think of this news?

:confused:
 
Seems like he's a good writer and going by Outer Worlds Obsidian may need some of that. Kinda funny how anyone that worked on NV gets hounded about it to this day.
 
I don't expect Obsidian to get the Fallout IP again. FNV was lightning in a bottle and trying to recapture the magic won't happen - that train has left the station. Time passes and abilities and memories fade. When they made FNV it was only six years after BOS and nine for Tactics. The only way I could see it happening is if Microsoft makes an executive decision to force Bethesda's hand as their production pace is slower than a snail's. Like, the TESVI teaser trailer is older than Skyrim was at the time of its release.

maybe the writing will be a little better but that wouldn't save obsidian now they are full of "don't tell how to do my job" and an environment where instead of doing their job they talk politics and hate on some elon musk tweets

I don't want any more Fallout content of any kind. The franchise is a mangled mess of garbage, so bad that people literally have to identify what they consider canon in order to make any sense of it.

Let the franchise die and finally rest in peace. Sometimes dead is better.
 
Horizon: Zero Dawn is an aggressively mediocre series. Only being pushed because Hulst is now CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment (Actually not anymore, but he is still leading PlayStation’s first-party games). I'm unsure of Gonzalez's role in that game, but even if he is at the height of his powers, one man can't right the ship at Oblivion.

It's an industry plant game. No one cares about the series.
