Originally, Obsidian proposed a game set in between the stories of Fallout and Fallout 2, but Bethesda shut down that idea as they wanted to continue the west coast story instead.
Bethesda apparently had dibs on designing Fallout games based on the East Coast, so Obsidian decided to develop a game based in familiar territory the West Coast, as this is where Fallout, Fallout 2, and Tactics all took place.
Talks between Obsidian and Bethesda to create a Fallout game began in 2008, but both parties were aware that this new game would not be Fallout 4 and actually referred to it as Fallout 3.5 while in development. A lot of members from the first Fallout team migrated to Black Isle Studios after Fallout released, and were responsible for creating Fallout 2. For those unaware, Black Isle Studios is the studio credited for creating Fallout, despite not actually developing it. Obsidian Entertainment was started in 2003 by ex-Black Isle Studios employees shortly before the studio shut down by parent company Interplay Entertainment. To keep yourself up to date with all of the terms and stories (assuming you are reading the story sections), I suggest you read the previous installments ( Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Cancelled Fallout Projects, and Fallout 3 )īefore we dive into Fallout: New Vegas, we are going to quickly go over the history of Obsidian Entertainment. We will be taking a look at the development, story, gameplay changes from Fallout 3, and the impact this game has had on gaming. This week we are taking a look at my favorite Fallout game, Fallout: New Vegas, released on October 19th, 2010.
Welcome to Dust Off, where we take a look at games from the past, present, and not the future because I do not have access to a spaceship to take me through a black hole.
