New Vegas as a spin off?[edit]
Why is fallout new Vegas marked as a spin off? It is a cannon (or at least semi cannon) game with gameplay being the same as f3 with only some changes 185.186.152.130 (talk) 11:29, 16 February 2023 (UTC)
- I agree, but dont know exactly how to change the chart. can somebody? Notreal1066 (talk) 22:54, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- It's not a spin off, as regardless of if it is numbered it is still a main game, and I see no source stating otherwise. A spin off is something that is wildly different from the main series, at least by most definitions. (Kelis98 (talk) 20:04, 21 August 2023 (UTC))
- Literally dozens of sources have been present on this topic, so it's kind of a non-starter to go "i see no source stating otherwise" -- ferret (talk) 20:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yes but there are also dozens of sources starting the opposite as well, it is also debatable whether one persons opinion/wording in an article counts as a source in this case (Kelis98 (talk) 12:12, 22 August 2023 (UTC))
- I've never seen one reliable source presented that says "New Vegas is a main line game in the Fallout series". Feel free to use WP:VG/S's reliable source search to find and present some though. I've only seen two cases: No mention of it at all, or "the Fallout spinout". -- ferret (talk) 13:17, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

List of Fallout Games[edit]
Could the introductory information list all versions of the game, like it does the platforms?

Fallout 76 a SpinOff?[edit]
I know that 76 is an unpopular game for the most part, however, I think it still counts as a standalone game in the series. Opinions? 67.135.4.210 (talk) 14:42, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- Reliable sources refer to 76 as a spinoff. I am not sure why people get so hung up on that for FONV and FO76. Being a spinoff doesn't mean that the game isn't official or canon, just that they don't consider it the main narrative branch. -- ferret (talk) 14:46, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Fallout (series) → Fallout (franchise) – The recent TV series has been so huge that it is hard to argue it is merely a series anymore. It falls under the typical criteria for a franchise page. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 04:38, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
