Bethesda has plans for Fallout 4 News
Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese
Bethesda man Pete Hines has said the company "clearly intended" to make more than one Fallout game when it bought the rights to the series.
"The whole reason we went out and acquired the licence and that we now own Fallout is that we clearly intended to make more than one," Hines told TVG. "This is not something we're going to do once and then go away and never do it again.
"When that will be or how long that will be god only knows, but we acquired it specifically because we wanted to own it and develop it and work on it like we do with The Elder Scrolls," he added.
However, Hines publicly talked of sequels after licensing Fallout 3 (and Fallout 4, Fallout 5) back in 2004.
The company acquired full rights to the series from Interplay in 2007.
Fallout 3 is in development for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. But you will need a PC or an Xbox 360 in order to access downloadable content for the game, as Bethesda announced during E3.
Head over to our E3 hands-on impressions of Fallout 3 to find out more.

Just do Elder Scrolls 5, fix what didn't work right in Oblivion, and be done with it!

I hope they at least make them on next gen engine instead of producing Fallblivion IV and Fallblivion V mods to their wannabe RPG slasher.

Haha, this news is kinda funny.
"You didn't really think we'd finished turning your favourite franchise into something that makes you froth at the mouth disagreeing with, did you?! No! We've got plans to further make your life a living hell!" And NMA thought Fallout 3 was bad enough! |

Why is this listed as X360 news? Fallout 4 and 5 are not coming to other platforms?

[i]NMA are a bunch of elitist fucks. No one cares what they have to say. They would only be happy if Bethesda remake Fallout 1 and 2 keeping them identical to the originals in every way, and then they would think of some way of moaning.[/i]
Yeah God forbid someone wants proper game and not brainwashed politically correct oversimplified pulp cattered to masses which most companies are producing those times. |

Hehe, I can agree with that, but it's just wishful thinking. Still, even though I know future TES games will be like Oblivion than Morrowind, I still hope that focusing on the Fallout series won't hold up development time on TES games too much. |

First off, who are NMA?
Secondly, though he is a bit grumpy, I agree with some of the sentiment behind M83J01P97's post. A lot of old school fans of any game series will never be happy with a new releqase within the franchise, because they are stuck in some cloud of nostalgia. "Yeah God forbid someone wants proper game and not brainwashed politically correct oversimplified pulp cattered to masses which most companies are producing those times." Is there not perhaps some ground in between the two extremes. I'm not sure that a remake of Fallout 1 really qualifies as a "proper game". Seriously, everyone needs to stop taking this all so damn seriously. It ONLY A GAME. Weirdos. |

NMA = No Mutants Allowed
A Fallout fan-site that's been around since the 'good old days' and community are the self proclaimed guardians of the Fallout IP, and ever since Bethesda announced Fallout 3 all they have done is bitch and moan that the game doesn't meet their precious requirements. They are among the worst level of fan-boys basically who need to accept change. |

Strawman argument, sorry, kangaroo. It's brutally unfair of accuse fans of the original games to "want a remake" and suggest to "go play Fallout 1". They changed the fundamentals so drastically that that argument just isn't valid. |

I started playing Fallout 1 again today. In the last hour, I shagged a prostitute (3 times), murdered a bunch of defenceless women in order to join a raider gang, stole an Urn containing the ashes of a widower then shot him in the face, injected drugs into my eyeballs and accicently blew away a pair of children when my SMG burst missed.
I guarantee Fallout 3 won't let me do virtually any of that. Fallout 1 and 2 are the best western RPGs ever made. Morrowind is 3rd best for me, but alas Oblivion sucked massive balls and was Morrowind with the soul ripped out and dumbed down for the 360-using masses, which leaves me with little hope for Fallout 3. |

Fallout was never about action, is was about narative and dialog. It just so happened to also have a great turn based combat system, just like other classics such as X-Com and Jagged Alliance.
And if there's one thing Bethesda can't do (apart from decent faces on their character models) then it's Dialog. They actually regressed with Oblivion; Morrowind had better much better dialog. |
