Fallout: New Vegas developer and role-playing veteran studio Obsidian "would love" to work on another Fallout game, director Josh Sawyer has told IGN. "I know there are tons of people at Obsidian who would love to work on a Fallout game again. If we were given the chance, we would certainly love to," he said. That's a lot of love.
Apparently, Sawyer gets asked about the possibility of making a new Fallout title more than anything else -- which, let's be honest, comes as no real surprise. Of course, despite the popularity and success of Fallout: New Vegas, it's Bethesda that would have to green light another game in the series. Come on Todd, you know you want to.
We certainly wouldn't say no to an Obsidian-developed post-apocalyptic adventure running on Fallout 4's engine -- would you?

I always prefered the Elder Scrolls games over the Fallouts but Obsidian are cracking rpg developers. I'd prefer them to make the next Bethesda game, whichever series it may be.
I'd rather see a more modern engine, but yeah, bring on Obsidian to develop the game!
Hopefully without a massive amount of bugs never understood why these guys get so much praise. These games are shamefull its almost if they dont have a QA there.
Pfft,Obsidian who don't know what sprint is? Fallout 4 engine? Man,i am really tired of Bethesda's janky old tech..Its frustrating because of the fantastic potential.How about a Fallout game running IDTech 6 Or Unreal 4 engine? (With a Sprint!)
Best of the 3D Fallouts, the moral choices were actually meaningful rather than Bethesda's own brand of blow the town up or don't blow the town up being an apparent difficult moral choice. Adding in the faction system helped the game too rather than the idea that everyone knew you'd done bad things even if no one ever saw you do them.
Definitely give them another shot at showing you up Bethesda
@special_donky totally agree. I've promised myself that F4 would be the last game from Bethesda (includingo TES series) if they don't change that engine. Looks dated. Plays dated. Feels dated. And motion capture, please!
I'd love another fallout game that is good! Although most of the dlc was awful.
Preferred New Vegas over 3 and 4 tbh, felt a lot more enjoyable.
@Pocky New Vegas in infinitely better. Fallout 4 became a snorefest after bout 20 hours. Never finished it and never went back.
Why are we waiting? Like, ANY PUBLISHER could step here and go "Hey, Obsidian... make an original post-apocalyptic RPG series. We'll market it as 'from the creators of Fallout New Vegas' and people will instantly be onboard". Guys like THQ and Deep Silver are picking up new IP all the time, and there's plenty of bigger publishers like Ubi Soft or EA, I'm sure, who would want a piece of that open world RPG pie that Bethesda has to themselves. If ANYONE comes out and is like "We got the best Fallout game developer to make a new game that's basically Fallout", it'll sell! Head-to-head against Bethesda's own thing, even - there's plenty of vocal gamers who put Obsidian's work above Bethesda's.
Its not rocket science, jeez. smh
Bethesda is being baffling here, not greenlighting another Obsidian Fallout already. But EVERYONE ELSE who could make this rpg happen is really stupid too. EVERYONE wants a new Obsidian Post Apocalyptic RPG, you don't need the Fallout name to do it - its crazy that its been 7 years since New Vegas and Obsidian hasn't gotten another crack at a similar project yet. SEVEN YEARS!
I might be being naive, but I really can't see what Bethesda have to lose, unless of course as @Dichotomy said, they're worried about Obsidian making them look like amateurs...
I'd love to see another Fallout game, regardless of whether it's Bethesda or Obsidian.
