Damn if only they could have somehow knew the show was being made in advance.....

Fallout 4 took 7 years to develop and still felt rushed. Exactly how far in advance do you think they knew about the show?

Options:

  • high quality remaster of older game (FO4, FONV, etc)
  • reuse FO76 engine to make a new game, with a few graphical upgrades
  • story DLC releases for older games

Any of those could've been done in the time they'd know about the FO show release target.

These Bethesda open world games take a LONG time to make. Even if they knew it was going to be made 7 years from now, there's no guarantee it will be good or that it won't be shelved. It's better to just go at your own pace.

It's not the open world takes them so long, it's the expert writing and amazing animations!
