The layoffs at one of your studios most able to ship games is a bonkers, stupid decision; but pivoting Obsidian to making a new Fallout game is a good business decision if you don’t care about what your creatives feel led to create.

It’s gotta really suck to be some employee at a cool studio… And then microfuckingsoft buys it. I’d be wicked pissed at whoever made that decision.
I don’t know why you’d want to work at Bethesda these days, but Id Soft does not deserve to be in that spot.
Stoked Obsidian gets to do a proper title though. I hope they can use a different engine this time.
theyll probably use the fo4 engine (i hope not) or the new engine starfield had (i hope so). fallout not in creation engine seems insane, unless its isometric again
I doubt they’ll use a Bethesda engine. They have their own engine, plus whatever resources Microsoft gives them.
they loved using it on new vegas
Did they? I was under the impression that was just the only real option at the time, not that they had any real love for the engine itself.
from interviews with some of the devs they have said they loved working with the engine. might have been sawyer who said it, cant really remember for sure
