I was just wondering if Fallout 4 would be an option
because I loved Fallout 3, thought a lot of people did
not. Can you also post why or why not, Thank-you

With a Game of the Year title it is a shoein for more Fallout goodness.

I think its possible and im sure it will happen, with the wastelands still in a mess we could take role of a new character in a new location.

Thank-you

Sure. In four years.

Yeah, given that it seems to be a relatively successful release (Game of the Year and all that...) I'd imagine that a Fallout 4 would be pretty much a done deal.

They should make a Fallout New York City

Bethesda said they bought the Fallout franchise license so they could make more games with it. Bethesda owns not just Fallout '3', but also any other sequential Fallout title.

I believe Interplay and Black Isle specifically gave them the rights to make two sequels? Three?

They made a lot of money off this, so they'll obviously want to milk you all with as many Fallout games as possible.

AFIK they bought FO in it's entirety and leased the MMO rights back to IP.
They OWN FO.
IP just leased the rights to do an MMO.

Yes. Since Fallout 3 did so well in sales, they would be foolish not to do Fallout 4. Its all about the money.

As long as they make TES5 first, they have my blessing.

It's far too early to be talking FO4, just yet. This time next year, we can start wondering if Bethesda has FO4 plans.

TES5 First. Don't get too ahead of yourself, though yes, i think that they will make a FO4

Fallout 4 will definitely be made, we just don't know when. See:

That was the original deal, but Beth now owns the Fallout franchise in its entirety. With the exception of a possible MMO. But unless Interplay comes up with that $30 mil in the next two weeks, MMO rights will also belong to Bethesda.

Word.

Though I do have to say, Oblivion has yet to get old in the least.

They have the rights for it. Why not?

with that successful box office its almost 100% that F04 will be released

new character or same character who moved to a different area?

Bethesda bought the whole Fallout series and I read somewhere they are planing on making three more games.

They were planning to make 3 games back when they only licensed the rights for 3 Fallout titles from Interplay. Now they own the whole franchise, so there will likely be more.

Welcome to the Fallout series, where the hero is a different character, in a different area, in a different time frame, in every game.

I doubt it.

In fact, I doubt there will be a Bethseda in 4 years.

1. Bethseda has two sister studios, Viral and Zenimax online. I've yet to see anything regarded as wildly successfull on Viral's site, and ZO is making an MMO. MMO's are incredibly expensive to make, usually fail, and often take the company with them. So basically, 3 studios are living on Bethseda's revenue.

2. Bethseda shipped 4.7 million units. According to NPD, and some math, Bethseda's barely sold half of that by January. Generally speaking, not selling your initial shipment by the time you're out of your major sales window is regarded as bad. Especially when you spent the marketing budget usually reserved for movies.

So basically, the most likely scenario at this point is this.

Zenimax feels the pinch from ZO and Viral burning through cash, starts to run low prior to TES V's release which will likely be 2010. Pushes Bethseda to release early, which leads to a lower quality product, which leads to lower sales, which continues the circle.

It's just math and history. NPD's numbers + the precedent set by other studios like 3do.

You can have all the awards in the world, but if your units sit on shelves, it doesn't matter.
