So, I'm back into Fallout after really enjoying the show and replaying New Vegas.
I remember it not being a huge leap from Fallout 3, but also seemed to release much quicker in that way - having a team work against an established framework for a successful game and introducing a new story, some new assets, etc. It made for a good stopgap until we could get Fallout 4 and also evolved the series in special ways.
Instead of waiting potentially a decade for a new mainline Fallout game, why not open up the tech supporting Fallout 4 for other studios to tell different stories in the universe, especially if they are doing some work to modernize it for this generation of consoles? Always struck me weird that other studios also wouldn't do this with franchises.
