It's the New Vegas engine. This has been in development for a very long time, before New Vegas was even released and its been worked on ever since.

I'm not going to lie I touched myself to this trailer no homo

Who made this? If not a Bethesda affiliate of some kind, how long before a cease and desist is issued?

It's a bunch of modder and it's been worked on longer then new Vegas it's self was worked on as for getting a cease and desist I doubt it if that was gonna happen it would of years ago and it would be a bad pr move to shut this down.

Voice acting in the trailer is ... well it's not the worst.

Interesting project tho, first I've heard of it. If they're not selling it/it's "just" a very complicated/comprehensive mod, they shouldn't have a problem legally, unless Bethesda just wants to be difficult. (I mean, Bethesda could block it but if they haven't yet doubt they would).

Considering that this has been worked on for about a decade and they haven't been secretive about it or anything, if they issue a cease and desist order there would be backlash similar to the paid mods fiasco. It's been a public fan project for so long that so much effort has been put into, if they pulled the plug now it would be some of the worst PR in the gaming community.

I mean, you can take that up with Sony and Microsoft. Not that you'd want to run anything based on the New Vegas engine on consoles anyways because it would be an absolute mess. The 360 version was still a mess even without having the cluster fuck PS3/Cell architecture to deal with. The game would need a complete remaster with a fuck ton of fixes and Bethesda never fixes shit unless the console modding doors were fully opened, even then who knows how long it could take. Even on PC mods can't grant you a perfect experience in New Vegas for all users.

Looks like trash

edit: oh nvm its a mod

Fallout 3 and New Vegas run on the same engine. Otherwise A Tale of Two Wastelands would never work.

Yeah, I'm just specifying the New Vegas version because there are minor improvements that were made to it. The modders actually converted it over to the NV version when it came out because they'd already started with FC3.

Why do people think it will get taken down? Are they selling it for money?

Because it's not uncommon for publishers/developers to shut down large scale story mods, fan remakes, remasters, etc. even when they're not selling it or only accepting donations, which this is going to be free but I believe they did accept donations as well.

It's stupid to have to worry about it but you do. Generally with something of this size they wouldn't shut it down. They usually do it early on or midway through once it's gaining traction if they care. To take something like this that's been worked on a decade and shut it down before release would open the flood gates to one of the biggest hate campaigns on the internet, and I doubt Bethesda has any desire to be on the receiving end of another one.

Well that looked stupid. Whoever made this really need to work on their cinematography skills.

Wasn't development hell, it was just a very ambitious mod for so few people to be working on while also still financially supporting themselves and having a life. There have been fairly regularly updates on it and the timespan between them and what was accomplished was fairly reasonable.
It's legitimately just taken them this long to get it to this stage. And the reworking over to the New Vegas version the engine was fairly early on when it was still in largely pre development stages. Also the scope of it grew with time and some additional people got on board but never in a losing sight of the original idea kind of way, the project always had the same core ideas, it was just a matter of being able to do more with them with some extra help and some donations. Look at the time Bethesda themselves spent between 3 and 4 and how long they're taking between TESS, and those are fully fleshed out development studios with tons of money and people doing it as their day job.

It'll probably just be neat at the end of the day, but I think it's nice to at least support passionate fans who would do something like this. I can already guarantee that it'll have more soul to it than 4 did. It won't end up feeling like a true standalone expansion on the New Vegas world and story but that's understandable given their resources.
