Fallout: New Vegas
Storm Rider:
I think it was more successful in the first couple weeks than Fallout 3, but I don't know what the final sales tally was like. I wouldn't be surprised if Bethesda offered Obsidian the chance to make another Fallout game to put out between Skyrim and Bethesda's own next Fallout game. On the other hand, NV was obviously mostly based on Bethesda's tech and I sincerely doubt another Fallout using 3's assets and technology would fly in 2012. So it depends on if Bethesda wants to let Obsidian build the next generation of Fallout tech on their own, base it to some degree on what they're doing with Skyrim and just generate the appropriate post-apocalyptic assets, or just let Fallout lay fallow for a little while until they can do it themselves. I guess it really ultimately wouldn't surprise me either way. I think New Vegas did well enough commercially and critically that Bethesda would be comfortable handing Fallout off to Obsidian again, but who knows if the business plans line up for that to happen in the near future or not. I was surprised at how hands-off Howard and the other bigwigs at Bethesda were when Sawyer and company monkeyed with the precedents set by F3, so maybe they'd be willing to let them take the lead next time. Who knows?
JD:
Perhaps when Skryim has been released for like a year they'll let Obsidian mess with the new engine. Which looks pretty fucking good if you ask me.
KvP:
I'm not sure how many teams Bethsoft has at this point, but Bruce Nesmith is helming Skyrim. I believe he was a senior designer on FO3 (Emil Pagliarulo, who worked on the Thief games and designed the Dark Brotherhood questline in Oblivion, was lead). I'm pretty sure Bethsoft has been pretty consistent in their assertions that Fallout is theirs now, and while they did give Obsidian a lot of leeway, if the desire's there on the part of Bethesda to make a new game (and it's no doubt there) it would be pretty startling if they didn't give their internal team preference for the next iteration of the series.
Storm Rider:
I thought Howard was lead on all of Bethesda's internal stuff? Or is he just a exec producer now?
LeeC:
I would very much like to see how much each game has made to date.
