Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Fallout 3, and I'm nowhere near angry that it wasn't turn based and isometric. I just think that the way they're positioning it as something separate from Bethesda's Fallout might suggest a different play style. I'd honestly be willing to play that kind of game, assuming Bethesda were still making the more Elder Scrolls-esque type game.

Holy shit, I wasn't far off. Incredible news.ChoklitReign said:
Fallout 3 is one of the stiffer game experiences I've recently tried (well, among titles we can consider as decent+).
I'm not personally interested until they re-haul the general animation system and facial/emotion system. The game feels very artificial.
This is also Obsidians greater technical weakness as well (in regards to their recent games, not story telling), they need to evolve.

Seriously, this is truly the epitome of being "fucking awesome!" Especially in the wake of what happened with the "Fallout" from Sega and cancelling the Alien RPG, and should help the company stay afloat. 
One thing most people agree on was that the writing and story of Fallout 3 was probably the main con of the game. And thankfully if there's one thing that Obsidian can do properly, it is to churn out a great story (see NWN2 and expansions, especially MotB). Hopefully development should go smoothly if they intend to use the Fallout engine. Of course, I suppose many would be equally thrilled if they built a new engine for traditional isometric gameplay, but, then again building a game engine and getting it to run properly (especially at launch) has probably been the one area where Obsidian has had difficulty.
Oh yeah, bring back Goris the talking Deathclaw monk.

Very nice :O
I wonder if they are going to change any mechanics or if it's going to stay basically the same as Fallout 3.

What? My statement was completely true. Prior to Fallout 3, every quality Fallout game was isometric. Outside of one or two games, Fallout games in general were isometric. This made it a design staple easily recognised with the franchise. It's not fantasy, its fact.
If changes are made and people enjoy those changes; whatever. That's nice for them. But pretending that only a handful of people expected a major entry in a franchise to stay true to previous entries is sadly deluded, and worse when you get on your high-horse and act like they don't have the right to be disappointed.
I get Fallout 3 is a fun game and I get why people like it, but I didn't want the Bethesda design of Fallout. It was different in too many ways, for mine and others taste, from the originals. There's no counter argument to that as it's just taste.
Whatever. I hope this turns out good but if its too much like Fallout 3 in gameplay I probably wont bother.

This is awesome news! Holy crap, i can't wait! Obsidian are great devs, i can't wait to see their take on the universe.

Kind of interested. If it's isometric, I am bailing out. Kind of sad, Bethesda isn't developing too. Oh well.

And the 2D Mario games still offer their own play style separate from the 3D versions, and the likes of New Super Mario Bros. prove the formula is still just as fun as ever, as do the more modern side-scrolling games (Lost Winds, Braid, etc).

They mean they aren't calling it Fallout 4 and it's not a turn based battle game like Tactics. Other than that we don't know much although its probably safe to make a few assumptions based on the platforms and the dev time and who is developing it.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

All I care about is the end product and the end product was bad. As I said I hope they get enough time and familiarity with the engine to put out a game on three platforms.
