Thread 715762680

All of this is public information that has been aggregated by various recent "leaks" and public discussions from reputable sources
>A Fallout 3 remaster is fully greenlit and is in full production, built in the same style as the Oblivion remaster and by the same dev Virtuous. Rumors are swirling that Fallout: New Vegas might be bundled with it, also made by Virtuous aswell
>Fallout: New Vegas 2 (Codename) Not the official title, but that's what it is internally called is in the works on Fallout 4’s engine. It’s being developed by “nu-Obsidian” (the modern Obsidian team, the same team that made the Outer Worlds and Avowed)
>Fallout 5 has been fully greenlight and is in full production, with Todd Howard as creative director. Here’s the wild part: 1500 devs are involved, but most aren’t from Bethesda Game Studios. Teams from ZeniMax Online (Elder Scrolls Online), Arkane, id Software, and others are pitching in. Microsoft sees Fallout as a bigger cash cow than Elder Scrolls, pushing for a faster release than planned (originally years after TES6 and developed by BGS) . They want it to be Xbox’s "biggest game ever" whatever that means
Non Fallout news but semi-related
>TES6 is playable start to finish with a gameplay trailer ready, but it’s likely still aiming for 2027-2028. A 2026 surprise is possible but unlikely given the game’s massive scope (bigger than anything Bethesda’s done, minus Starfield’s procedural planets)
>Starfield's Expansion for the end of this year titled "Starborn" 's success will determine future DLC's/Expansions/Support fort he game in years to come

Don’t care. I might not even pirate any of them. This is Bethesda now.

>>715763416
The Fallout 76 team is a completely different team in Bethesda and isn't involved with TES6 or Fallout 5, the main Bethesda team isn't involved with Fallout 5 at all, at least not yet.

>>715762680 (OP)
So, MS is forcing Todd to pull ahead of 2035?

>>715763416
Nigger this is every game company now. Even “based” eastern game companies that make the numerous gacha weeb trash /v/ gives a pass, have pozzed western branches that filter every release. Bethesda isn’t uniquely bad, they’re just as bad as everyone now, and frankly they were never great to begin with

>>715763416
She looks like the Mask.

>>715763670
I LOVE YOU BABY

>>715763558
That's what it looks like, they're forcing Todd's hand and making Fallout 5 come out a lot sooner so we'll get it much closer to TES6 than before. It sounds like if it was up to them they'd rather Fallout 5 come out before TES6, but I don't see how that's possible at all, it obviously isn't, but we'll prob get Fallout 5 a year or two after TES6 rather than half a decade or maybe even an entire decade and they're hoping that the Fallout 3 Remaster and Fallout New Vegas 2 will hold us over until then.

There was also some rumors about Fallout 1 and 2 isometric remakes (not action combat or first person) and also, there's also been rumors about inXile working on a Fallout game aswell, but nothing as concrete as what was discussed about in the OP, but there are apparently over 3 Fallout projects in development and the only ones we know of are Fallout 3 Remaster, Fallout New Vegas 2 (Codename), and Fallout 5.

>>715762680 (OP)
>Fallout: New Vegas 2 (Codename) Not the official title, but that's what it is internally called is in the works on Fallout 4’s engine. It’s being developed by “nu-Obsidian” (the modern Obsidian team, the same team that made the Outer Worlds and Avowed)
This isn't true is it?

>>715763986
It is, and we all know it's going to be shit that team fully gaslit microsoft into thinking they're the same team behind new vegas and microsoft has fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.

>>715762680 (OP)
>>A Fallout 3 remaster is fully greenlit and is in full production, built in the same style as the Oblivion remaster and by the same dev Virtuous. Rumors are swirling that Fallout: New Vegas might be bundled with it, also made by Virtuous aswell
Fallout 3 remaster has merit but they are not touching New Vegas with a 80 foot pole, ever again. It's not because they're ""Jealous"" because they literally own the rights to that game and they literally are glad it was a success, they just don't want players expecting that game to be a benchmark for future fallouts again.

>Fallout: New Vegas 2 (Codename) Not the official title, but that's what it is internally called is in the works on Fallout 4’s engine. It’s being developed by “nu-Obsidian” (the modern Obsidian team, the same team that made the Outer Worlds and Avowed)
Chris Avellone confirmed through his connnections that Obsidian is not working on anything Fallout related at all, now, or in the future.

>Fallout 5 has been fully greenlight and is in full production, with Todd Howard as creative director. Here’s the wild part: 1500 devs are involved, but most aren’t from Bethesda Game Studios.
Fallout 5 is still in pre-production, not full production. It is true microsoft sees the untapped money-geyser in Fallout's rabid fanbase and are acting accordingly, and it's linked to them shutting down all their lesser IP for it.

>TES6 is playable start to finish with a gameplay trailer ready
Not true. (I have sources.)

>Starfield's Expansion for the end of this year titled "Starborn" 's success will determine future DLC's/Expansions/Support fort he game in years to come
Partially true. They have completely shifted stance on Starfield's future. The potential has drained incredibly fast on it's ROI. They might make one more DLC and then drop the game to be for creations dlc indefinitely.

>>715764057
I'd imagine they'd put guys like John Gonzalez and Eric Fenstermaker under contract to finish it. IDK if Avellone still has bad blood with the company though.

>>715764102
So every YouTuber, podcast, trusted leaker, and even some ex-bethesda employees are merely talking shit but (You) are the accurate source that should be trusted on this?

>>715764374
Ah good thing Youtubers are a credible source of info!

That anon is right. The mere mention of New Vegas being bundled in the remaster, along with a New Vegas sequel in the works is enough to debunk this shit. The other part of like every MS studio banding together to make Fallout 5 is some reddit-tier fan fiction as well.

>>715764374
MrMatty is a massive tinfoil hat wearer and a shill. He'll say anything just to say something for content. And the podcast executive was being vague about the Fallout 3 remaster. They are absolutely not touching new vegas again because they didn't make the game, and they don't want people to think they'll make another RPG in it's 'footsteps'.

I am saying I am not any more trustworthy than those people. Except for the exec, 'trusted leakers' often have outdated information.

>>715763416
Dios mio

>>715764448
Lone Vault Wanderer is a literal Ex-Bethesda employee that has referenced even within the last week an insider on a podcast talking about Fallout New Vegas 2 being in production now at Obsidian, so either you're lying or have old information.

>>715764374
Fallout 5 being in pre-production is hardly a leak, more like a basic assumption you can make about a major game company with only two IPs worth a damn.

>>715762680 (OP)
Didn't the company that did the Oblivion remaster just lay off a bunch of people? That's not something you do if you're about to start another project.

>>715764610
John Gonzalez and Avellone both confirmed New Vegas 2 isn't coming from Obsidian. So either this "Nu-Obsidian" is another company or some new 'secret' team at Bethesda.

>>715764252
>IDK if Avellone still has bad blood with the company though.
Avellone has friends at obsidian who still feed him info but he has (almost) no official ties whatsoever to the gaming industry after the scandal, only the new indie thing he's doing.

I really wish they'd stop making fallout games, 76 just showed how creatively bankrupt they are, nobody fucking cared a damn about it except for mmorpgpiggies

>>715764567
>>715764610
Well not only is there that, public builds of Fallout 4 internally were literally referencing Fallout New Vegas 2, so this isn't even new information we're just getting more confirmation now
>>715764738
>>715764102
So these people are wrong because the new info literally references Obsidian, and we know BGS is working on Starfield/TES6, and BGS Austin is working on 76, no BGS studio team is working on FNV2, Remakes, or Fallout 5.

>>715762680 (OP)
>remaster remaster remaster
>remake remake remake
STOP
JUST MAKE FALLOUT 5 OR WHATEVER
MAKE FALLOUT THAT ISN'T IN THE FUCKING USA FOR ONCE
DO SOMETHING

>>715763670
>She

>>715764689
>start another project
The Fallout 3 remaster has been in pre-production at virtuous for a long time, they didn't just start the project, it'll probably be shadow dropped in the next year or two, Fallout New Vegas remaster on the other hand would be something more likely to be "newer"

>>715762680 (OP)
I don’t care anymore Todd

Here's some 'actual' insider info about Bethesda, from someone who spoke to an ex-dev.

There is an insane culture of toxic positivity at Bethesda and that's why the stories and writing suck. One time, a lead artist tried to criticize the writing on Oblivion and that quest designer he critiqued tore him apart in an email and threatened him and he shut up about it after. That's just about every story about the writing in Bethesda games.

It's not JUST Emil Pagliarulo, it's all the quest makers and designers in general- They write most of the dialogue in Bethesda games and Emil just does the major stuff. The ones with talent aren't allowed to shine too much while the boring but 'passable' designers get seniority and authority on what goes through. Emil is too fucking nice to criticize people and isn't discerning enough to understand what 'boring' is. This is so deeply rooted in the company's problems that nepo-hires from the 90s are dragging the quality down, not just "indians" or "women with colored hair"

Didn't Todd creatively direct the new Indiana Jones games despite it being worked on by Machine Games? So this isn't even outside the realms of possibility.

>>715764374
this youtuber makes these clickbait videos then spends 30 minutes going blah blah blah

>>715762680 (OP)
Until even ONE of these is revealed OP shall receive the marking of a gigantic faggot. This cannot be removed by other means.
For your sake OP I hope you are not telling lies online for (You)s

>>715765226
I believe it, that is the impression i get when i see certain lead designers talk. they remind me of family i have.

>>715764252
Gonzalez is back at Obsidian recently so maybe the NV2 rumor may be true.

>>715765615
Gonzalez said in an interview very explicitly, “I am not working on New Vegas 2”

>>715765698
What's he working on in Obsidian then?

>>715765698
Duh. Cuz it's Fallout: Yellowstone.
>"What I said was true, from a certain point of view"

>>715762680 (OP)
The next elder scrolls is 1.5 years into full production which started after Starfield came out, you are literally retarded if you think the next elder scrolls has a fully playable main quest

>>715765741
See picrel.
>>715765776
A “project too good to pass up” in his words. No idea. No chance it’s Fallout related because Avellone confirmed this week there’s no Fallout in Obsidian’s ledgers.

>>715765698
Probably because it's not actually called Fallout New Vegas 2

>>715765931
It's not called Fallout New Vegas 2, that's just what the public calls it, and he's being deceptive because that's what they call it internally too, but it's technically not Fallout New Vegas 2 so he's not lying.

Wait so it's also being remade too?

>>715765987
>Avellone confirmed this week there’s no Fallout in Obsidian’s ledgers.
Read, you streetshitting nigger. Obshitian is not making anything Fallout related, Gonzales is back for outer worlds 2 or some other project. Who the fuck even wants another Fallout by nu-obsidian after outer worlds, they're worse than Bethesda.

I really hope tes 6 is good. Just modernise the combat, improve enemy AI, where cells have to be separate, make them as big as possible (no houses where upstairs and basements are seperate cells), have a good survival mode on launch, interesting faction questlines with fun side stuff where you dont become leader in 3 quests, modernise interactivity so things arent dont through sluggish menus. Let me block with hand to hand, bring back spears, make magic good.

I recently replayed Skyrim with basically just some graphical improvements and a new deleveled lore friendly loot table, and had a fun time. The game and formula doesnt need that much more to make the gameplay better and more timeless. I just dont have much hope, when fallout 4 came out, i didnt even beat it because i thought it was so bad. Never even played starfield but watched some gameplay and it looked dated in terms of combat. But surely you cant fuck up elder scrolls that bad.

>>715766039
>>715766161
I'll trust Jez Corden over someone who has been basically blacklisted by the studio he used to work at and has an extremely strained relationship with, he doesn't know shit, and it's still not called Fallout New Vegas 2 so whoever is fucking with him at the studio is someone you just got baited by instead of an actual credible leaker.

>>715766039
Avelone is the most compelling point against it. Ever since he got booted out, he's not given any fucks at all about talking openly about projects.

Mind you, two possibilities exist.that would still allow it.
>Avelone is also lying (for some reason)
>MS has made a team consisting of a Obsidian talent that worked on NV, and put them in charge of another team consisting of devs from other studios. (technically not an Obsidian project)

Probably just cope on my part though..

>>715766161
Outer Worlds 2 is out in 3 months you retard, also literally nobody thinks nu-obsidian is going to make a good Fallout game, we just know it exists.

>>715766270
>i will trust industry shills and paid marketers (sorry, "trusted leakers") over someone who still has contacts all over the industry but no skin in the game due to being blacklisted

>>715764057
It’s not surprising that Microsoft would fall for that I mean look at 343 Industries’ track record with gaylo

>>715766379
You think Chris has more contacts across the entire industry than Jez Corden? You're literally just baiting at this point. No more (You)'s for you.

>>715766317
>MS has made a team consisting of a Obsidian talent that worked on NV, and put them in charge of another team consisting of devs from other studios. (technically not an Obsidian project)
Recently Obsidian joined forces with Eidos Montreal to develop Grounded 2. Based on that it's possible. .

>>715766461
Yeah because Avellone is literally an executive level industry insider... People at that level in the industry talk to each other about that shit because they can't talk to anyone else about it. Especially since his lawsuit succeeded and cleared his name and was back in the industry's good graces.

Corden is a journalist... Sure he has contacts, but they are the same contacts as everyone else in 'games journalism'... IE: Low-level employees who think being a source of insider info makes them hot shit; aka people who don't know almost anything until well into development.

>>715766763
There's no point trying to explain anything to that retarded streetshitter. He unironically thinks "trusted leakers" have access to anything more solid than some random fucking contracted QA-monkey, and that any real "leaks" they get aren't forcefed to them via the marketing department.

>>715766763
>>715766914
Ultra-samefag moment, Jez Corden has literally never been wrong on this stuff.

>>715766763
>>715766461
>>715766317
To be fair, Avellone admits he “could be wrong”. He can’t disclose how he knows the rundown of future games. There could be things too top level to let him know about since Obsidian and Bethesda both know he’s gone rogue.

>>715762680 (OP)

and let me guess; josh sawyer not involved in this

>>715767391
Of course not

>>715766080
maybe

>>715767391
What's Josh been doing now anyway? He's been quiet since Pentiment.

>>715763416
>>715763589

>>715769485
Sawyer helped in Avowed believe it or not (probably didn’t have much of a say since he’s not the director). He also attended GDC 2025 so he’s still in the industry.

>>715764102
Alright mister leaker
when will Fallout 76 die?

>>715763416
Fpbp, it will make Saarfield look good by comparison.
>>715763476
Anon, lay off the cope, that much isn't good for you.

>>715770569
>Anon, lay off the cope, that much isn't good for you
What cope? This has been a known fact since them opening the new studio in Austin. Misinformation doesn't help anyone, unless you have a vendetta against Bethesda to try and fit in on /v/ of course.
