Fallout: New Vegas Studio Considered Doing a Walking Dead RPG

Obsidian Entertainment, the team behind Fallout: New Vegas, was at one point considering doing its own The Walking Dead game.

In a recent interview with NME, Obsidian Entertainment co-founder and current CEO Feargus Urquhart discussed his role as an important figure in game development, especially in the RPG genre. As well as the impressive resume of titles he and his team have already left in their wake, it turns out there were ideas for yet more games. First and foremost, Obsidian had an idea for a role-playing title based on the Walking Dead series but was unable to find a publisher interested enough in the project. On top of that, Urquhart was also keen to do a Rick and Morty game, but this fizzled out after Microsoft acquired the developer in 2018.

At least they have an excuse to make all the womens fugly again like in the outer worlds

Walking Dead is long past its prime and we've already had several other versions. Pillars of Eternity 3?

I don’t really trust the current Obsidian to do a New Vegas level of writing especially after Outer Worlds. Walking Dead as a franchise is very dialogue heavy and narrative driven and isn’t very action based like say Days Gone. It will live and die by the narrative so I’d rather them not fuck it up unless I get proven otherwise with their new game like Avowed.

I think most peoples are burnt from the walking dead franchise, the series went to shit and didn’t leave a good impression.

Enough zombie games already.

I’d rather see them take an existing Microsoft ip, and do an RPG. Something like Conker could have potential.

 

[Camreezie]

They should concentrate on the IP already under the xbox umbrella

For all the answers here....

You do realize he's talking about before Microsoft aquired them? Like not now? Why are you talking about it like he means now?

It's right there in the OP.

The Walking Dead is a washed up franchise. Plenty of other fictional worlds to use if they don't feel like creating their own.

Lets hope not

There's nothing to hope.

Again, does anyone read the OP? They considered this. In like mid-2010.

This isn't recent. At all.
