Xbox Acquires Fallout: New Vegas, Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic Developer

Maybe a bargain bin purchase. Hard pass for now.

I hope this remains true "will continue to operate autonomously and bring their unique talents, IP, and expertise to Microsoft Studios as they build new RPG experiences for our players and fans."

WOW. They literally got the band back together. Interplay is about as whole as it's been in 20 years.

For everyone who claims to love Fallout 1 and 2, go play Wasteland 2. Fkn spot-on. Very tactical, HUGE choice impacts.

Worst decision ever. If I want RPG's, I go Sony.

Good news. Hopefully MS will do what they should have done with BioWare and ME1 in 2007 (don’t think they made an offer to buy them but could be wrong).

Let them do their own thing but not release CRPGs at the same time as Larian. No wonder they got slaughtered :(

Too late in the gen to improve things for the Xbox one, but the Nextbox might get some exclusives that are worth something to rpg gamers, Or Obsidian will mess up and get shut down like alot of other studios Microsoft has bought out over the years.

Too bad about obsidian but they had too since their last game did not sell well. Xbox really does take note on gamer feedback regarding we do not want multiplayer only games.

My interest in owning a Microsoft console just went from "haha no" to "probably not". It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Really sad to hear that about obsidion, because They make such great games, that now Will be Xbox exclusive, even though They properly get more money to do it. They make fallout games better than bethesda ^^

I love Obsidian's games and while it is great that they now have the financial backing to make better products, I'm a bit bummed that their PC games will now be exclusive to Windows 10 and the Windows Store.

ALPHA PROTOCOL~~

is it worth playing??

I own it on console & PC/Steam but I dunno..

anyone wanna do a personal review for me?

hook me up & i'll gift ya a medium-tier steam game of youre choice from my available games ;)

I want a fallout Remaster and dream of another new Fallout..

Bethseda Fallout games SUCK..

normally I say something so lame & outta place but it's the truth about my experiences with Fallout 3 & Fallout 4 & the Fallout 76 beta

(which ive no plans of buying now)

All 3 Fallout games f/ Bethseda are slow moving and boring..Somehow Obsidian fixed this 100%..

ive played 2 full playthroughs of Vegsa & the last one was about 1000 hours as I was in OldWorldBlues for bout 300+ hours having fun doing loot-circles...

~Fallout Vegas humiliated Bethesda and we all know it...

im a neutral gamer who last gen was taken to court by old school best man from my wedding and teenage late 90's about

how " I was only hurting myself by NOT owning a PS3 and having some pretend loyalty to Xbox..Dude said the same thiung with the PS2 when I didn't buy the new Original Xbox...

So now I own em all cause im not a employee of none of them...

~I prefer PS4 sore & dashboard.

~I prefer PS4 PS+ FREE GAMES ui VS Xbox..Xbox I never know if they are gonna charge me @ website.

~I prefer PS4 controller!!!

~I prefer Xbox games vs PS4 Japanamation style.

~I prefer Xbox for dealing w/ MP in games as Xbox live simplifies sht..

~#1 & Biggest deal to me is= backwards compatible games!!!

but @ end of the day I love em both & don't waiver outside of neutrality.

I am enemy of PS4/Xbox fanboys because they have the old me mentality & it hurts gaming..

review bombing & smack talking..tools!!

Obsidian is in better hands then Activision,Take Two or EA...

Look @ Bungie complaining about Microsoft control over them & now look at them under Activision..

Imagine Destiny had Bungie stayed @ Microsoft! All games woulda won..

sorry if I offended you/anyone. not my intention & reason for apology is I try not to come across as @-hole....

Meh. Not like their games won't continue to release on PC.

This folks is the beginning strategy for the ninth generation of gaming. During the 7th gen and through the Mattrick horrendous 8th gen launch all MS did was shed valuable first party studios. Now it looks like MS is started to make a play for the 9th gen by bolstering its almost barren first party studio stable- I wonder what moves Sony will be making next- either way it is a great time to be a gaming studio.

(Don Mattrick sp) and Balmer - once made a call that the video game industry was going to be nothing but social media games like Farmville and candy crush or quickly go to mobile with the console slowly dying save for motion control games.. That is what you get when CEO follow fads and not asking what hardcore games really want. Of course none of this came to pass and 100million + 8th gen consoles later, you see why both of them are retired and kicked to the curb.

Like the start of the 5th gen, you had Sega, Nintendo, and newcomer Sony investing in new, old, and sometimes radical studios for first party games. Was that ever a console war generation. Still all this is good news for gamers.!!

nooo, a new fallout new vegas game will never see the light of day now, not happy ?
