Blizzard is the same way and it works for them. My guess is the big game companies worry about the backlash if a game gets delayed or cancelled, and they think it is worse than what they could gain with extra hype. No one wants a Half Life 3 type fiasco.

The smartest thing Bethesda could do is have Obsidian produce Fallout 4 while the core Bethesda team works on the next Elder Scrolls. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of problems with the Elder Scrolls but between the two games they are better at creating that world than the Fallout one...

I understand what you mean, but Inexile wouldn't have come anywhere near making as much money from their Kickstarters if it wasn't for the Wasteland and Torment names. I think it was sequels of great original games of the past or nothing at all. I do hope that after a few of these sequels they...

I think that even if they tried to apply Van Buren to the Wasteland Universe it might upset Bethesda as it would be too similar to Fallout, and they probably do own the rights to use Van Buren in that context. Just because you apply (or even get) a trademark doesn't mean it can't be challenged...

FO3's tutorial is the kind of thing that actually sounds interesting in theory. The problem occurs in the implementation.

I'd rank Fallout 2 as the best, but I completely understand why others would go for Fallout 1. For me, the longer story and more areas make up for some of the areas where it lags behind 1. So I'd rank them 2, 1, NV, 3. However, I've always considered Wasteland the father of Fallout so I'd...

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I'm sure the funding will go up more especially in the last few days, but unless someone gives them a bigger push than NMA can I don't see it happening. But if it fails hopefully they will try again. As odd as it may sound, I also wonder if the amount...

No, you don't have to give a long review. You can point out major issues you have about the game without going into detail about every fault. It would give us something to work with. As it stands now you just came here to say "I hate this game and I won't tell you why", which makes me wonder...

I'll have to give this one some thought, but I may donate. I'm sure the developer is feeling proud to put his name on it, but when your name is Richard Nixon maybe you shouldn't.

While I liked the old footage part better, it just screamed Fallout. Maybe that is intentional to lure Fallout fans in, but to me it felt a little too desperate. Although Wasteland is responsible for Fallout existing, the aesthetic of the opening video is Fallout's creation.

Amazing how many people are upset about the "old" graphics. For the heck of it I recently started playing through Baldur's Gate I & II again. I'm having a better time replaying classic games than I am playing a lot of the new ones that look great but are weak in the story department. The...

A minor point that leads me to agree with the hoax theory is the way the date is written. Bethesda is an American company. Why would they write the date in the European format?

I can't think of a better way to support InXile and ensure they make enough money to keep making great games!

Love the multiple saves option for W1. There are places where you can ruin a game because of the one save only restriction on the original. For instance if you fall in the Las Vegas sewers you will get washed out into the Colorado River (taking damage the whole time). The game autosaves when...

Just have the visible grid turned off. As the other person said the grid is for AP cost calculation. Even if you didn't have an actual grid you'd just be assigning some arbitrary length as one AP anyway which works out to be the same thing.
