Rumor: New Vegas 2 from Obsidian

[Heroic Liberator]

Some media have pieces so intrinsic to them as to be defined by it

Don't disagree that gameplay is both integral and central to a video game, but even if that's what makes a game 'poor' or not doesn't mean that it necessarily is what defines the experience for the player. To make a comparison to tabletop games, I can play a wargame because I like the system or I can play a roleplaying game because I like the setting despite the system that it has to be played in being mediocre (and naturally I can play a roleplaying game for the system despite it having a mediocre setting).

To each their own at the end of the day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't know what to be more excited to see, VTMB2 or FNV2.

It's like two abortions that didn't take and seeing which one is the least disfigured up upon birth!

It doesn't make sense to do another New Vegas. The US has plenty of interesting locations and biomes for them to explore, especially if you want to do them post-nuclear holocaust. They could do something in mountains, something in the Montana/Dakotas area, deep south, upstate NY, etc. Tons of stuff.

its going to be set in Las Vegas, New Mexico

You prefer another Unreal shooter instead?

So you do like Gamebryo after all.

Games with poor gameplay are just poor games.

Gameplay is a nondescript term that means different things to different people, akin to judging books on their bookread or movies on their moviewatch. Someone can think FNV has good gameplay due to liking the way you solve quests or interact with the world while simultaneously thinking it has poor combat.

Anything forced to use VATS is inevitably going to suffer. The biggest problem New Vegas had was its requirement to use VATS. The issue now, of course, is that all of the "Fans" of "Fallout" (and by this I mean people who liked Fallout 3/4) have come to expect VATS, especially on a console since aiming with thumb sticks in a Bethesda engine is always terrible. To them, VATS is a part of Fallout and any new Fallout game must have it.

I liked VATS.

I think a New Vegas 2 can be fun to play as a shooter, with the latest Gamebryo engine, if Obsidian don't diverge from the old game's aesthetic. From what I've heard and from my 10 hours of pirated Fallout 4 gameplay, the shooting and movement are vastly improved and are the best in any Gamebryo game.

Here's Jeff Grubb's stream btw:

Obsidian would fuck up FONV2 so hard

Obsidian would fuck up FONV2 so hard

And it would still be a lot better than anything Bethesda can come up with.

I paid to ask him about Arcanum 2 and sadly he does not have the inside info on Mr.Cain

The Outer Worlds wasn't even as good as Skyrim

And that's not a particularly high bar

 

[Ryzer]

Is there any competent writer left at Obsidian to begin with?

megan starks

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Starks is decent enough from what I've seen. Too bad she seemingly is being sidelined now?

It's also wrong. FO4 is better than Outerworlds.
Outerworlds is very ...not good.

 

[Yosharian]

I would rather play Fallout 76 than play one more minute of Outer Worlds

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I dunno. I feel like Arcanum 2 wouldn't be very good. I feel like whatever creative juices Tim Cain has are kinda just gone at this point, and he's doing it for a paycheck. Plus, I feel that he's gotten way too much credit over the years, because he was the face of Troika for so long as one of the bosses there. I'm definitely guilty of attributing credit in that direction, and it's not entirely unearned, but one guy, or two (he and Leo Boyarski) can't make up for a bad team.

Lets hope not,obsidian can't make nu vegas 2,it lacks the skilled people for that. It will end up generic garbage like their last game,the boring one about corporation,forgot the name.
