Fallout 4, Anyone?

Just when you had enough of Fallout 3 (and apparently a lot of people did because they felt the game has been terribly torn from its roots), a new game in the Fallout series has been announced: Fallout: New Vegas. While Fallout 3 was a fantastic game, there was an outcry on message boards all over the world that the game really lost a lot of its essence when it was passed on to Bethesda. It seems Bethesda has taken this to heart, and they have outsourced the game to Obsidian Entertainment, whose members include Feargus Urquhart, Chris Parker, and Chris Avallone - some of the original creators of the Fallout series. Their accomplishments also include blockbuster titles like the Icewind Dale series, the Neverwinter Nights series, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. Though the game will still likely be played in the first-person perspective, it will be interesting to see how Obsidian will approach the game. Obsidian's track record is one of the best in the video game industry, particularly the PC industry and computer RPGs, and Fallout revolutionized gaming by creating a genre that continues to influence titles to this day.
