Bethesda hiring for unannounced game on next-gen consoles

Well we knew that the current flow of good news couldn't last forever.

Guess the other type finally caught up.

How weird it may sound I hope they are going to work on something completely new, at least Fallout will then be safe for a while.

 

I hope that it'll be something new as well.

I thought I didn't care much anymore but just the thought of living through the pre-Fallout 3 hype and then the Fallout 3 reviews and all that comes with it again... Ugh.

 

You're right. If they're making something terrible, they might even hire me! Where's the application?!

 

I'd like to see next Fallout running on Skyrim engine but I wouldn't like to see it being made by Bethesda. Anyhow, interesting news.

 

Yeah, too bad you won't be doing great games.

 

*Walks away from threads filled with intensely good news about Wasteland 2*

What's that? Bethesda's doing something?

*yawn*

Right, right. Mmmkay.

 

Get Obsidian on the project.

Get Obsidian on the project.

PLEASE GET OBSIDIAN TO WORK ON FALLOUT 4.

 

Erm, dude, Fallout 3 runs on Skyrim's engine. Or rather, Skyrim runs on Fallout 3's engine, and Fallout 3 on Oblivion's, and Oblivion on Morrowind. This will just be Morrowind V.

 

Well, it seems the concept art had a large impact on the outcome of how Fallout 3 looked, so now with the artist dead, maybe the game ends up looking completely different? It will be interesting to see how a Fallout 4 transitions from one artist and hardware to the next gen with a new artist.
But I bet you mean the dark hardcore atmosphere of the first game, to which I also hope for, yet cannot but remain pessimistic about.

 

Maybe you're just being hyperbolic, but the Creative engine is leaps and bounds ahead of Gamebryo, even if there are chunks of it still in there. It's a lot prettier, and in my experience, it's waaaay more stable. They're not exactly tied into the engine, but their improvements to Radiant AI and their use of Havok animations make a notable difference, too. I'm still no major fan of the direction Bethesda's decided to take the Fallout franchise in, but a Fallout game built on Skyrim's skeleton would be a vast improvement over F3.

Lol'd

Why? They've hurt it enough already.

In what way?

Storyline more in tune with the original games?
Working faction mechanics?
Better developed settings?

 

From what it seems, people had a lot of fun with Skyrim. I am kind of curious to know how Fallout 4 will turn out to be. But will bethesda finally use a new engine for this game? Will the crashes finally stop? Will there be ladders?! I doubt it...

 

Well, yes. Skyrim is a fun game. But it's not as "deep" as a Fallout game should be and therefore not very representative. It's still a big funpark, just like Fallout 3 was- though, with a little bit better quests (most of them just end bleh still).

 

I think it's only due to the presentation. Fallout 3 didn't tried to make epic battles with 5 NPCs, after all. Or joining a guild and becoming the boss of it after two short quests (which send you over the whole worldmap twice).
