    Unless both games are as broken and buggy as the original New Vegas was, I’m probably gonna skip. The bugs and crashes are one of the things that have kept me liking New Vegas. You never know when it’s gonna crash.

    Neither studio has impressed me in a long time, especially Bethesda, and that was before gutting the team and promising more layoffs of the next 12 months. Unhappy skeleton crew and they’re doing engine upgrades.

      They’re not doing engine upgrades. They’re throwing in more graphics (visual effects, higher resolution assets) and bolting on some features, but the core engine has barely changed.

    How about you do one thing at a time Bethesda before announcing more bullshit. you haven’t even released the new eldar scrolls yet and you’re already putting the next fall out into preproduction?

      They aren’t Obsidian is. Microsoft owns both and put Obsidian back in the wheelhouse after canceling Obsidians current projects.

      As far as a remaster goes that’s not a full house affair for Bethesda and they will probably send that to the 76 studio to reskin. They already made a lot of assets that will easily be recycled.

      Id wager what will happen with 5 is Obsidian writes it and directs the major story lines while Bethesda provides engine and art support

    And I’m sure it’ll be on the same old ancient engine with decades-old bugs and other jank, just with another layer of hacks.

      Do you really think Unreal Engine has been completely remade every version? News flash: it hasn’t. No game engine has. They all get upgrades to meet new demands over time.

      But you clearly haven’t played a Bethesda game since the original release of Skyrim, or you’d have seen it.
