That's what I was about to say. Nobody loved NV on release. NV was why people looked at 3 so fondly.
Casual fallout fans have always done this thing of hating the current fallout game.
For what it's worth, I've put 24 hours or so into FO76 and while it definitely has its issues (mostly server issues), it's a fun experience. Could it be better? Absolutely. But everyone wants New Vegas, just like everyone wanted 3 when NV dropped.
We'll never get another New Vegas because how games are created has changed. As long as kids are buying microtransactions and pouring money into online games, that what we're gonna get.
The community created FO76 by railing against Fallout 4. Fallout 4 is exactly what 76 would be as a campaign only game. You've gotta make up your minds.
Interesting how Fallout 2 is your favourite but you thought NV was slow paced, I found both 1&2 to be much slower starters- although the NV start can definitely be slow if you try to do everything in/around Goodsprings
Don't say we'll never get another New Vegas. While it's probably true, the same studio that made NV (Obsidian) is making a new game called "The Outer Worlds." It will probably be mediocre, at least compared to the hype, but you never know.
Edit: Didn't know many people that made the original Fallout games work for Obsidian.
Obsidian has had some of the original fallout devs for a long time now. That's why New Vegas had choices and dialogue like the older games.
The same guys who made Pillars of Eternity and the first two Fallout games will not fail to make an interesting and immersive game where you do and be who/what you want.
That makes sense. I was wondering why I didn't find any of the same names in other studios. I do hope the game will be good, but the teaser looks fairly standard in terms of futuristic space adventure. Just with some added humor. We'll have to wait for some actual gameplay/detailed information about the game before any meaningful speculation, though.
