    Is Fallout 5 the same game or a different game to the one allegedly being developed by Obsidian?

      Assuming this was decided after microslop decided to mass produce the Fallout IP faster and faster, I’d say they’re different games.

      Different games, Fallout 5 is developed by Bethesda after TES 6, Obsidian is working on another new Fallout

      Mmm… I hoped the IP was transferred from one studio to another. Seems more like a borrowing.

      Don’t know what Xbox would do if Obsidian ends making a better game and the Bethesda game is overshadowed by it.

        Microsoft basically took it from Bethesda and cleared out a bunch of their core staff

        The IP might not have been transferred, but Bethesda’s product ownership has been revoked. They didn’t even let outside teams touch their offshoot projects (like apps), and now the IP is probably going to be milked

        Maybe obsidian will do something interesting with it before it inevitably is reduced to slop

          Yeah, the difference being Fallout 3 was well received and the studio had some pedigree. While Fallout 76 and Starfield were actively disliked.
