Probably the best we’d get for story DLCs would be for FO4 or 76 because there’s absolutely no way they’d create new content for a game over a decade old that isn’t Skyrim or the latest entry in another series of theirs that is either fallout or fallout or fallout.
much of a game’s development time is spent creating assets, using a new engine doesn’t mean your existing low fidelity assets suddenly look better, just better lit
Eh, a lot of it also has to do with designing things, not the producing assets. If you’re just doing a remaster and upgrading assets that already exist, it should take a lot less time than building something from scratch.
that’s just simply not true. if you look at the project lifecycle for a game very little resources are spent in preproduction, the bulk of the time is in production. preproduction usually has all of the core mechanics and ideas implemented by the end, then it’s just about executing on that plan. there’s not a lot of experimentation and iteration once you are in full tilt production mode
These Bethesda open world games take a LONG time to make. Even if they knew it was going to be made 7 years from now, there’s no guarantee it will be good or that it won’t be shelved. It’s better to just go at your own pace.
Plus they made a fuckton on new fo4 purchases when show released for zero additional cost. Steam had a killer sale for all the fallout games when the show released. Seems like no brainer especially because you never know if a show will be a hit. Look at Witcher, it never really caught on to the larger market outside of its already existing fans.
Idk. I’m the only nerd out of my family and friends and a bunch of them watched and loved the fallout show. Including my parents who are 60 years old and haven’t played an “idiot games,” what my mom calls video games, since Robotron lol.
He’s right. If they’d rushed to get a game out in time for the show it would have been a piece of shit and eroded the brand.
Bethesda, a company with an otherwise unbesmirched reputation for polish.
This is such a circle jerk. You don’t like Bethesda games? Who cares. Move on. Lots of people love em
I hate Elden Ring. But I don’t go on Elden Ring communities just to shit on it
Yeah imagine how shitty the game would be if it was actually rushed
Damn if only they could have somehow knew the show was being made in advance…
Fallout 4 took 7 years to develop and still felt rushed. Exactly how far in advance do you think they knew about the show?
Options:
Any of those could’ve been done in the time they’d know about the FO show release target.
They did do that. It was called Starfield.

It’s not the open world takes them so long, it’s the expert writing and amazing animations!
And the amazing variety of points of interests and quests!
You can have literally dozens of combinations!
(Still salty about Starfield, don’t mind me.)

I have a feeling the Fallout show is quite similar in terms of not being popular outside of people who already like that particular universe.
