I still think Microsoft is being dumb. Sure fallout 5 in 8 years is fine but why not send the ip for spin-off to other studio? Same with world of warcraft, overwatch and so on.
Make a warcraf rpg tha look like the cinematic. Make an overwatch linear story game. Like about the omnic war and it feel like titanfall/halo.
Make a spin-off fallout game about somewhere else.
I don't think they underestimate it. I just don't think they want to be risky with any bets, it's all far to safe.
We'll probably get Fallout 5, a vault based game where the player has to go find their girlfriend after she leaves the vault in search for her true calling.
All their games have followed quite a similar formula, yeah it's cool and works but you can see from the get go that it's not innovative.
That’s fine. ER is basically the same souls formula in an open world and it’s one of my favorite games ever. Hell, I would pay for a remake of fallout 3 in a heartbeat
Microsoft might not be able to do that? I mean they own Bethesda but as part of their deals with them and Activision but still self-publish as opposed to being published under Microsoft Game Studios. So they also might still have say when it comes to their own IPs. Plus, even if they did not I can't imagine either would be thrilled if Microsoft went in and demanded that they outsource their IP to someone else against their will.

Feels like a fumble to not have a Fallout game coming out rn
