The making of Fallout 1 & 2: Tales from the early days of Black Isle Studios 

totally agree, they seemed very enthusiastic throughout the whole interview. they are still passionate about fallout

With a New Vegas 2. Or an Arcanum 2. Or a Vampire Redemption 2.

they will most likely make the next Fallout and it could never be a New Vegas 2

Obsidian would need to start making good games for that to happen. Pillows of Eternity was a complete bore fest.

mefit1 New Vegas was amazing though. Did exceedingly better then 3 and 4 and didn't even take half the time to make

Fallout 2 Remake.

true, very true. I'm glad Emil changed his position at bethesda, wishing someone could fill the new lead writer at bethesda for their next game.

Chris Avellone is a freelancer now. ;)

Gameplay's very important. The problem with Fallout 4 was simply story and choice; it seems the lacks of coordination during production and their publisher had a lot to do with how the game went south.

@@Ravix0fFourHorn he hates Bethesda...

@@dzikripratama3776 Surprised he doesn't hate Obsidian even more, having been sabotaged and robbed by them.

I always said Fallout 1 & 2. They always felt perfect to me or as good as a game could be.

Same

-Captain- I'm counting Obsidian as if was Black Isle (which they kind of are)

They don't care, their games sell, in fact they'll probably dumb it down even further because if you look at the charts, that's what people like. Fallout died, and that's good, hopefully Obsidian will create a new franchise as good as old Fallout, but with a more contemporary approach.

Jardeson Barbosa mmm a spiritual successor to Fallout by Obsidian? That actually sounds fantastic.

They bought it, they own it. They make tons of money out of it. Sure they will give it away just like that... If they were selling, Obsidian could not even afford it. If Obsidian bought it, they would do shit with it. Because Obsidian don't have a tenth of the talent that Black Isle and Troika had (sadly). Pillars was meh. Tyranny was utter shit.

+mefit1 Someone's uneducated. Fallout had to be sold off because interplay was going down and taking black isle and fallout with them. Also Obsidian is doing pretty well. Some of the most successful kickstarters of all time, a major factor in the revival of classic RPGs, theyve got their own original IPs... how are they going bankrupt again?

Thanks! Credit goes to the folks at Obsidian for being so generous with their time. -Chris

Eurogamer I just have this feeling that if you got them into a bar then started this interview we would have soooooooooo many more stories. Thx again Chris and congrats on getting the access.

Carpe Mkarzi I have to admit that I got Fallout 1 and 2 free with a PC Gaming magazine. I was quite doubtful at first, buy they became the first games I became completely addicted to, love and still are the games I've replayed the most. I loved the humour, the stories, the world - everything! It wasn't my first RPGs, but they WERE the ones that made me fall in love with the genre. 😁 I know they don't read this, but I still want to thank them for making my childhood better and giving me a love of RPGs that continue to this day!

Skorpyz very cool story. Hell I remember getting 3.5" floppys with demos and games with the magazines. We all come to this hobby from somewhere and it should unite us in a love for games.

You have very good taste in games.

New Vegas wasn't bad either

👌

They still are

New Vegas is my favorite but currently doing a play through of 2 having just beat one again for the umpteenth time

Or something new from these guys. I genuinely love them

Sashik Pro How about as a spin off???

Sashik Pro - We should get there new game this year. I doubt Fallout will go back to isometric style but I'd settle for a Fallout that's a rpg and not a shooter.

@@kummakummakummakummakummac8606 Just spin off a separate Fallout series like Fallout Tactics.

@@JockoJonson17 I wouldn't mind if fans would remake New Vegas in Fallout 2 style. They did a few amazing fan games in Fallout 2 engine already, and there will be a Van Buren remake. Hype.

yeah i hope so too since 4 was a disappointment for me.

Yasin Okat did they say that? I didn't get that at all. Well a new IP is also exciting.

conway 4590 yeah Fallout 4 had its own flaws, but they did some new cool stuff as well. Hope Bethesda announces soon their own project, there is a rumor floating around that they want to release a yet unannounced game in 2017.

Don't get your hopes up dude, Bethesda hasn't licensed a game out for like 8 years or so. Maybe 1 game in that time. If they were going to do that, it would be Fallout to Obsidian, because of the history of it. But, Obsidian has said it's not going to happen too. I'd love that to happen. But don't expect it is all I'm saying.

Johnny Torpedo thanks 👍 I will keep that in mind bro

VTMB and Arcanum were big, ambitious but always rushed...

16:07

I always thought that if you target the groin, or the eyes, that if you hit you do more damage. But I don't know if this is correct and I don't remember what made me think it in the first place.

Hitting the groin gives a chance for the target to reel in pain, losing their turn.

Fallout 4 is NOT a Fallout game.. Mindless Shooter..

Man i totally agreed about first 3-4 paragraphs. NV overall is even better than F2 because it mixes good things for both generations of Fallout fans. Maybe i'll switch 3) and 4) here... But i disagree about last one. With Fallout 4 you actually at least knew beforehand what you will be dealing with. And Fallout 3 after 10 years of waiting was a COMPLETE disaster and disappointment. Personally i'll put F3 lower than Fallout Tactics in ranking list. For me it stays on same level as 04' BoS game.

Gabriele Riva I liked fallout 4, it was by far the worst fallout game, but as far as post apocalyptic games go it wasn't bad.

Fallout 4 is quite a bit better than 3, if you forget about the randomized quests

You're giving Fallout 3 too much credit in my opinion, there should be at least a 10 place gap between Fallout 2 vanilla and Fallout 3.

I would rather see a remake of Fallout 2.

@Godot well there is the Fallout Restoration mod, as well as many other mods/patches to the game, so that's just not the case. So back to the original comment, anyone know what version of F1 is being played?

I was using Fallout Fixit at the time.

FO 76 is completely fucked up

Ну ты почти угадал...

And the game have fun campaign

Invention's come from a garage, not a corporation.

FO1+2 are fantastic. Same with PlaneScape: Torment & Baldur's Gate (if ye haven't played 'em before)

I did the same thing. Just finished the video.

it is highly recommend to play them, the experience is unique and unlevelled IMHO. you are missing out on sth here! and it helps you to understand better, why its ( 1& 2's) successors suck ^^

NoClip Documentary on Fallout development Pls.

My favorite games of all time, thanks Chris :)

Thank you.. Subbed..

georgetm2 if you count a year later as soon, The Outer Worlds just got announced

not what he said, he said "your game is never finished, it's only shipped"
