The big question is if it’s going to be as good as Fallout 3 was. It’s not like it hasn’t been done (a studio makes a good game and another studio does one of the sequels…if not all of the sequels) but what’s rare is when the other studio does a good or better job than the original studio.

As is usual in the game industry, it’s a small world and some of the original Fallout developers are actually at Obsidian (might also be why they wanted to do it so bad). We’ll have to see. I have a bad feeling they might dull it a bit. It might not be bad but it might not be quite as good as the original (Fallout 3).

A plus to the announcement, though, is how much Bethesda wanted everyone to know that it wouldn’t affect their own development work…which seems to imply they might be working on the sequel…hell, if Bethesda and Obsidian can tag team it and give us a Fallout game very year or two, it might be worth it! Unless, of course, they’re going to be more concerned with those TV and movie trademarks…Shh…Uwe Boll might be listening!!!
