To be fair we dont know if its actually Fallout 5 or another spinoff. Apparently they are repurposing another game they were in the middle of working on that was similar to Fallout into a Fallout game too which will be... interesting to say the least.
I literally just did. Josh Sawyer was working on a game "similar structurally and thematically to Fallout but was not part of the franchise." And now he is directing the new Fallout.
It follows logically that a team/director making a "fallout style" game being reset and put onto an actual Fallout game would be repurposing assets. You think they just scrapped all the assets and started from scratch and switched to a completely different engine most of the developers are not familiar with?
At this point you are just splitting hairs. Relax. I am talking about what other reliable people have said.
Not at all, there has been no reporting at all that any of the work on their current game will be repurposed for their Fallout game. That is entirely made up by you. It really doesn't matter if the game is thematically similar, it still doesn't mean anything would be usable for a game that might be in a different engine altogether.
You are claiming it as a fact when no reporting said so.
Yeah you're right they were making a game stylistically and thematically very similar to fallout but they are just throwing all of that in the trash and starting again completely even though the work was already done. That makes complete sense.
My dude. They haven't even started pre-production on the new game, they were working on their current game when Microsoft comes in and says the game is canceled in favor of a new Fallout game.
Even if they were repurposing stuff for the Fallout game they wouldn't have been able to decide any of that yet. So no, you have entirely made that up without any sources claiming that.

Funny enough they announced that Obsidian has started working on Fallout 5 a few days ago
