Feargus Urquhart on the future of Fallout.
Obsidian was at one point in talks to create an Avatar 2 game.
“Avatar 2 just came out and James Cameron spent 10 or 15 years making it.
Back then, we were talking with them about making an Avatar 2 game…
I don’t even know how long ago.
Eight, six years, something like that,” said Urquhart.
I don’t need every game I made to be Avatar 2, right?," he said.
“I would love to make another Fallout before I retire.
I don’t know when that is, I don’t have a date of my retirement.”
So what might that hypothetical new Fallout look like?
Because then you’d be trapped, if you say that to yourself or to the public.
What do we think will be better?
What would people like?
What would they think will be better?
What did we learn in the last two, five, 10 years?
And then - go make that world.
Use the PC or the console to make an amazing-looking world.
And that’s Fallout.
It’s about giving people that real expression of the world and letting them just go play."
He also discussed RPG stories more generally and his interest in stories around personal responsibility.
“I want to go and make an RPG story about personal responsibility.
I think that’s an important conversation to be had.
About people being responsible,” he said.
He continued: “And it can be an interesting time for that RPG to be made.
Those can be subtle things; they cannot be not subtle things.
That’s how you reinforce that feeling of responsibility for your actions.”
As for Avatar, Ubisoft’sAvatar: Frontiers of Pandorais due for release this fiscal year.
