If Bethesda outsourced a new Fallout game today, which studio would you pick and why?
Would you want a classic RPG, a CRPG like Baldur's Gate 3, something more experimental, or a direct New Vegas-style successor?
Title: Are we still making original visual sci-fi?
Between cyberpunk, superhero movies, and space operas — basically genres that either are thirty years old or are still heavily inspired by stuff from thirty years ago — it feels like modern sci-fi rarely allows itself to explore genuinely weird or exciting new concepts anymore.
A lot of current SF feels either like recycling old aesthetics, or like hard sci-fi / cozy sci-fi that’s technically competent but kind of flat and overly safe.
Do you have any recommendations for modern sci-fi works with a really strong identity that aren’t some kind of -punk subgenre or an 80s franchise revival?
