Bethesda is allegedly working on ‘multiple Fallout games’, including Fallout 3 Remastered, teases report
-
Bethesda could earn a significant amount of goodwill back by simply using OpenMW on a Morrowind Remaster and helping with its development, even if only for a year.
That makes zero business sense. Bethesda would never make money on throwing away thousands or tens of thousands of man-hours on that. They would spend more on a remaster, but they would make money in the end.
The Oblivion remaster sold more in two weeks than Oblivion made in a year. It sold more copies in April alone than the original did in 15 months.

After the TV series (which got weaker as it went on), there was a huge surge in its popularity but that quickly declined when new players saw the amount of hours they had to put in to play and explore.
There is no doubt that these new games will be aimed squarely at monetising those players and not its pre-existing fanbase.
I'm still waiting for them to recover financially so they can create another deep RPG like Daggerfall. I'll bet ES6 will be for the fans /s

Good lord that's more horrific than I thought. That's full blown MMORPG time sink levels without nearly the content of a real MMO.
Realistically, you could experience all the game content in like 200 hours. Even faster if you know higher level players that can help you, which a lot of higher level players will help you. That is a lot of content without the limitations that purposefully slow progression down like you see in MMOs. Keep in mind that you don't need the game subscription to play the game and don't need to spend any money in the game to play and get the endgame content.
It isn't until you are trying to grind out getting certain things that your playtime skyrockets, but that is true with a real MMO.
On the subject of the community and players helping players, the community is pretty great. I have dragged lower level players through the hardest part of the game and taken them from level 20(you can start the game at level 1 or 20) to over level 100(there is no max level) in an afternoon with no detriment to my enjoyment. I have given newer players thousands of scrap, hundreds of legendary mods, and hundreds of thousands of caps worth of item plans that you can on get with RNG grinds.
I am not exceptional, I am pretty typical for the high level players. Since we have "nothing left" to do in the game and understand the meta, pretty much everything has lost value. We will buy overpriced stuff for sale in player vendors just because we want to get rid of caps and it takes us minutes to go from 1k caps to the 40k cap limit due to the value of the "crap" we have in our stash. Some players can't hit the cap limit in hundreds of hours of play. It could take you hours to get enough material to make 2k of ammo(that you can burn through in an hour) and we will give you 10k of that ammo or enough materials to make 10k and not even notice the loss because we know how to net gain ammo.
Compared to gacha games and actual MMOs, FO76 is far better in terms of cost in terms of time and money, also the community is very helpful to new players.

Why bother with 5 at all right now? Remaster 3, and New Vegas, take the profits from those and then release 5. Oh and also keep that shit offline. 76 was a huge let down.

I hope you’re right and I hope it isn’t Starfield with magic.
Thank you
i mean just not having space travel automatically makes it way better than starfield.
-
Starfield is already Starfield with magic, tho
Ugh that was so disappointing.. I just wanted to be a space explorer. Not the mystical savior with sparkle powers

You mean cutscenes?

They'll cancel everything but the remasters. I hate the lack of anything new coming out of AAA studios.
The new stuff coming out of AAA hell even AAAA have been shit lately. Let them eat themselves, I'll get their sloppy seconds when they are on sale.

AA and indie games are where it’s at these days

Everything Bethesda does is kind of bad. I'll probably get them when they're on sale, but I don't expect anything good.
Get Larian to make a fallout game

What about AAAAA?

Always has been.

My first one was the first one, and what sets it (and 2) apart from 3 other than literally the entire game (1 and 2 were 2D isometric, dialogue and choice heavy, CRPGs with turn-based tactical combat) was as I said the general vibe.
It didn't take itself too seriously and the humor was incredibly seated in pop culture references. Bethesda's brand of humor is more muted and generic, and their writing is incredibly dry sometimes (the best writing they've ever seen is in Elder Scrolls 3).
4 has the same kind of silliness as the originals, the visuals also fit a lot better IMO. But the CRPG elements are almost entirely gone at this point, which is why I regard it as a fun shooter and not an RPG.
New Vegas, however, is still the GOAT among the 3D Fallout games. Not only does it have actual RPG elements that I expect from something calling itself an RPG, it has the exact same tone and vibe as the first two games mainly because it had Brian Fargo and one of the other original writers working on it.
New Vegas is in my library. I look forward to playing it. I'm also interested in getting the first two as well.

Gotta get that delicious turnip blood.

I got 76 "free" in a humble monthly bundle and I still feel ripped off.
