bobofudd Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Maybe by then you won't have controllers but you'll link your smartphone directly to the game. So that way you'll play an entire game while looking at your phone the whole time. Stupid future...
zanity Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Beth has lost ALL INTEREST in this IP- so I'd consider it dead. The ONLY way it could be resurrected is for Beth to hand it off to an out-of-house third-party dev (as they did with NV), but internal petty politics makes this incredibly unlikely in the short-term. Certain 'famous' faces at Beth woukd have to leave before this would happen. However, Beth is investing in record amounts of advanced new IP, so Fallout fans' loss is to the gain of other gamers. As for Beth's open world games, well apart from the remaster of Fallout 3 (remember, the coming special-ed of Skyrim is NOT a remaster but the SAME vanilla assets on the FO4 version of the engine), future efforts in this direction are based on the new iDTech engine. How long it will take to bash this engine into 'release' quality (given that one of its main purposes is to allow curated mods on Beth.net ONLY- no more Nexus option) is unknown. But given this engine is to be the base for all major Beth releases, open world or not, assume VERY rapid progress. Edited June 22, 2016 by zanity
mwhenry16 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Bad or good, new or a retread, if it's Skyrim, son of Skyrim, TES XXI, or Fallout New Puerto Rico, I'll buy it, and also wait for the wonderful modders out there to make whatever it is even better. Cheap entertainment. Go Beth, go modders!

It seems you're quite convinced of your own speculation. As for the rest of us.... I think we're going to need some proof of this direction you keep speaking of. If not , then you're just like the person on the street corner holding a big sign saying "the end is near."
zc123 Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Maybe, I'm not going to preorder & slap money down for another expansion pass though thats for sure. Then again if you pay attention to real world economics anything releasing after the latter half of the 2020s may not happen at all.

Bhanqwa Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Why is your game requiring me to click one of two buttons? This is taxing for the brain. Just let me swipe it already.
snapper69 Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I'm glad I don't have Zanity's outlook, it must ruin his/her enjoyment of gaming. Maybe we can look beyond VR at thought control? Save us the effort of having to swipe the screen. Mind you, it would require concentration, so maybe not.
