Whou would you rather make FO3 Bethseda or Blizzard

First time out of the vault
I'm a pretty big fan of Fallout and Baldur's Gate. However I also enjoy fast paced competitive strategy games. I liked more "cult" strategy games like homeworld, where it is more strategy and less who builds faster. But I got to say my favorite strategy game is WC3, so many mods, and such exciting competition. Also Blizzard always makes their games sequels and not complete spin offs (they learned their mistake with StarCraft Ghost).

So this posed the question...Would you rather if Blizzard somehow acquired the license that they make FO3?

I mean given that Diablo is a completely different RPG, its at least isometric and I think Blizzard plans on making Diablo 3, which will more than likely be Isometric as well, so that would provide for a nice basic engine...

Personally I think Blizzard is a much more fan based company than Bethseda. I am very glad that WoW did so well...not that I am a fan of WoW but I am a fan of Blizzard, and am glad they wont go out of business like BIS. I do think BIS was even MORE fan based and immersive in developing games and was very upset when they went.
 
Haha good point lets say Diablo is an action game then Blizzard really does need an RPG for their lineup, that doesnt require a monthly sub.

why are you trolling? i mean seriously, are you in the camp of people who think doom is a RPG?

shhh, dont let hoka hear you say that, D1 and D2 are really 3/4 view.

and I think Blizzard plans on making Diablo 3, which will more than likely be Isometric as well

psst! its 3/4 view, and i havent heard any plans from blizz on making a sequel... i think the dev team that made warcraft/diablo moved to WoW...


but i think blizz can do it better, they still make good quality games overall but they are a bit of the action orientated twitchfests.
 
Consider that Starcraft is a ripoff of Warhammer 40k, Diablo is a ripoff of Gauntlet mix with Nethack, I doubt even Blizzard will get to make the truesequel of Fallout...
 
Well, Bethesda will make the Fallout 3 I won't like. Blizzard will make the Fallout 3 that makes me drool, but delay it for three years and finally cancel it. It's kind of a lose lose situation.

But seriously though as much as I love just about everything Blizzard has made I'm skeptical about how well their strengths would carry over to a fallout game without betraying the style of the originals.
 
If they'd want it, I think they'd be able to do it. I can't say the same about Bethesda.
Plus, for the most part, Blizzard understands what the fans want and they strive to keep them interested. Hell, they continue to release patches for Diablo 2, that not only fix bugs but also add new content, modifications and challenges. And that for free... yes, Bethesda, for free!

So yes, my respect for Blizzard, although I didn't really enjoy their games except for StarCraft (they're simply not for me), is very very high while for Bethesda, well... let's say that I can barely refrain from puking when hearing about them.
 
Starcraft a rip-off of Warhammer 40k? I consider this assumption to be far fetched, at the least. Starting with setting ending with aesthetics, there is almost nothing in common between them.

For some reason People like to compare Zerg with Tyrannids, Eldar with Protoss, and Space Marines with well you guessed it Space Marines...But thats just like saying Every single "medieval" style RPG is a rip-off of Tolkein. I mean Starcraft had totally different rules, histories and gameplay than Warhammer 40k.

As far as Blizzard goes I do think that they would do a better job at FO3 than Bethseda, but I dont think they had the time or the capacity or the want to acquire FO3.
 
I don't know - they specialise in RT games...
On the other hand they had enough decency to axe spinoffs...

Blizzard would do it. Maybe they wouldn't do it as good as it could be, maybe they would, but that's not the point. Blizzard. Would. Do. It. Bethesda isn't, Obsidian would only rape it almost as much as Bethesda and that's it: who else is on the scene to invest huge amounts of money in a B series? Interplay had the money, it was a lucky strike... for us, gamers. Seriously, it isn't normal that such a B-orientated game gets so much financing as Fallout did. All those famous and good voice actors, all that art work that took so much effort and money to do... Fallout is, financially speaking, a A-title but completely niche orientated... Seriously, do you even expect ANYTHING like that ever to happen again? Don't... Just don't...

Still, Blizzard would do it. They would probably make it real time with pause (much easier to balance), but they would surely keep the PnP feeling (to a degree, at least) and the tactical orientation. And they have guts, they have balls, and they would look into detail, and put detail in the game. They know how to do it, and regarding the storylines, they surely know how to... My only reasonably big worry is about choices and consequences, but I have no doubt at all they would hire decent RPG devs, and probably even original Fallout devs, and that would probably fix the thing for the most part...

Yes, Blizzard would do it... But they won't, because they don't want to.

P.S.: Anybody from bliz here? Anybody here that could ask them to PLEASE buy ALL rights from Bethesda and kill Interplay for good? And maybe also start developing Fallout 3 from scratch? Maybe that'd be asking a little too much. I'd be good if they only killed Bethesda's Fallout and Interplay. PLEASE somebody ask them to do it.
 
Blizzard listens to their fans, like Starcraft2, when they changed the siege tank skin and the Soul Hunter when fans whined. Bethesda, well... Blizzard probably wouldn't make it perfect, but I bet they'd at least stay true to the core of the previous games, so I'd go with Blizzard.

Blizzard made Team Fortress?

Oh, fuck. Disregard that, please.

Edit:

Anyway, the comparison with Blizzard is not really fair. Let's give Bethesda a chance, shall we?

So.. uhm... Reflexive Entertainment or Bethesda? :roll:
 
Blizzard wouldn't be interested.

Still, they have 3 more original Fallout devs than Bethesda does (that is, 3).

I said PLEASE :cry:

Yeah, as said multiple times, god ate USA... hum... God ate us... no... Wait... Hate... Yeah, he hates us... Yeah, that's it, god hates us... fallout fans I mean...

He hates us at breakfast.
 
I was pessimistic about Blizzard after how they treated their WarCraft franchise (WC3 being mostly a stepping stone between WC2 and WoW, also all the recycling of the canned WarCraft Adventures into WC3/WoW) and seemed to degenerate into another MMORPG company when WoW turned into a major success, but SC2 seems to prove me wrong.

As far as I recall, Diablo -- and some other projects -- were based on half-finished concepts Blizzard bought from other studios, but their craftsmanship and interest in keeping their fans happy (ref: StarCraft patches, Diablo II with Battle.Net) seem rather obvious.

However, Blizzard seems to be capable of making sequels that remain mostly true to the series and improve previous shortcomings. I'm not aware of Blizzard ever having bought an existing franchise and having produced a sequel for that, but if what I heard about the origins of their ideas is correct, I'd have faith in their ability to pull it off.

Regardless, this is entirely hypothetical. Blizzard most likely has no interest in Fallout and all we have is Bethesda's rape show.

Well I think their writing, story telling, and voice over elements would be stronger than Beths. Not sure if they'd go turn based or not, but I'm pretty sure they'd go isometric or 3/4 with special system, so they probably would have done it a little better, ditto for Obsidian. Troika would've been my favourite to do it though.
