Fallout: New Orleans supposedly trademarked

[Pike]

...also apparently in 2014 Obsidian said they were interested in setting a Fallout game there.

So.

This is all rumors and speculation at this point but... we might... be getting a new Obsidian Fallout? Like New Vegas?

After the bs that Obsidian had to go through after New Vegas? I would honestly be shocked if they worked for Bethesda again.

Mind you, I would love a new Obsidian Fall Out. SO much better then the bethesda fall out titles.

aye NV was better than 3 for sure

Radioactive gators and abandoned moonshine distilleries.

I'm not tracking on this and was wondering if you had source for me to read through? I love drama.

You mean what Bethesda did to obsidian? I don't have sources on it to link but as I recall, at the very least, Bethesda forced them to rush it and let them take a fair chunk of the blame for the myriad of glitches it had at launch and some of its areas that are a bit lacking.

Bethesda also failed to pay them a bonus because their game felt short of the target score on Metacritic, after Bethesda forced them to release the game early.

I'm definitely down for this, though I have to say the idea of a swamp isn't that interesting to me as we had it in Point Lookout and again in Far Harbour. I'd prefer a non US setting!

AIRBOATS!

Oh yeah, I'd completely forgotten about that. As I recall it only missed the target score by one or two percent as well.

trout that's rough. I had never heard of that. I also didn't play New Vegas until early last year, so I'm not surprised I missed it.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I agree a non-USA location would be nice.

FallOut: Sudbury. "Looks like the Wasteland just got a lot more polite!"

FallOut: Frankfurt "Some oddly specific, very long German word that perfectly captures the feelings and emotions associated with living in a radioactive wasteland."

FallOut: Pyongyang "Yeah, this makes sense really."

And on and on.

FallOut: Canada "Sorry."

FallOut: Galuf "Sorry."

New Vegas fell short of the rating by like, .1.

It was a trout deal Obsidian was given, Royalties based off the metacritic rating is a terrible deal, but if Obsidian wanted to make that Fallout Game with that engine, no choice but to take a trout deal.
