Birds of a feather, etc.

Very random guess - new Terminator game? T4 is being made, Bethesda used to work on Terminator games and seem to be making boatloads of money with F3 and Splash Damage makes FPS games.

lol after the great terminator games of yesteryear a new one is just what the doctor ordered.

A T4 game is already being developed by GRIN, so it must be something else.

Fallout Wars. You heard it here first.

Although, if Bethseda is going to continue to make shootery games, it's a good move for them to bring in some FPS talent, since they have approximately jack shit themselves.

 

[MetalCraze]

Oblivion: Enemy Territory.

 

[Mr Happy]

I know they weren't mentioned in the article, but the thought of the inevitable Fallout 4, 5, and 6 (all that money spent has to make a return somewhere) is pretty nasty. I think even if it were the original developers still working on them, the concept is going to wear out around 4 or 5. Time to try something else, maybe.

 

[Drakron]

They still have The Elder Scrolls series to milk and, I guess, the Star Trek license.

I think Bethsoft next game will TES:V, not Fallout 4.

 

[ushdugery]

I think they should go for a new Ip and call it blandwars mostly in bloom and grey.

It's probably something to do with Bethesda's plans to release their Great War simulation where you fight the Chinese on the Alaskan front.

[Oarfish]

The first one was a pretty ok side scroller.
