Given the mammoth Fallout 3 thread thought they’re be some interest in [this](http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/fallout-new-vegas-unveiled) announcement, a new Fallout game penned for 2010. Called Fallout: New Vegas. Not developed by Bethesda, but shipped out to Obsidian, who made KOTOR II among other things. Not a sequel to Fallout 3, but will probably use Fallout 3’s engine given the timeframe. Opinions? I’d rather have Fallout: New London announced in Vegas to be honest. ---

Given the cold war themes and look of the game I’d rather it stay in America. I’d still buy a London game though. ---

I think the more relevant previous work by Obsidian’s development crew would be Fallouts 1 and 2. 🙂 Obsidian is, for all intents and purposes, Black Isle 2.0. Hell, the two guys who run the company, Feargus Urquhart and Chris Avellone, designed Fallout 2 and wrote the official Fallout bible, respectively. I loved Fallout 3, and I’m very excited to see what will come of this collaboration. ---

Damn you. :mad: Now I have to spend the next circa 15 months thinking about how I’m not playing Fallout 4 yet. ---

Hell, the two guys who run the company, Feargus Urquhart and Chris Avellone, designed Fallout 2 and wrote the official Fallout bible, respectively. Black Isle 2.0! Awesome. I enjoyed Fallout 3 but nowhere near to the extent of 1&2. I thought Bethesda has exclusive ownership of the Fallout name now, glad to see I was mistaken. EDIT: I see it is still owned by Bethesda but they’re willing to allow another company to develop the game. That’s nice of them. ---

Man, if they dig up/own the notes for the original Fallout 3 project (Van Buren?), this will be every kind of sweet. ---
