What do ya think? Fallout 4? Some other Fallout project?

We'll find out pretty soon!

Hoping for Fallout 4. Dreading something like "Fallout Online".

Most videogames sites are confirming it is #4.
Exciting!

I can live without Xcom if I get a fallout 4. Bring on the retro future.

As someone who just got into fallout this year, I'm pretty excited.

Edit: although I wonder why they would be announcing something before E3, after all it's only a 11 day difference.

Not that surprising, Bethesda has it's own conference at E3 in less then two weeks.

I don't know what to make of this. I liked fallout 3, but have no idea what they plan on doing with fallout 4

Yeah, that's my biggest worry, that it's gonna be something along those lines.

Please let it be Fallout 4. A European Fallout would be awesome!

Please don't let it be a F2P MMO. Or MOBA.

Fair enough.

....

...

Squee!

Edit: Someone want to go into that page's source and see if they can turn up anything? Apparently there's references to the "Masterbrain" in there. If its going to be a dead ringer for The Postman novel then I can see that tying in with the super computer that's in MIT. That is if all the references that were made to Boston, the technologically advanced Institute, etc pan out.

Edit: Edit: Aye I looked in the background code and one of the files references the Institute.

Bethesda confirmed Fallout 4 was in the works a while ago. They stated it was in Boston.
The radio dj from 3 was confirmed to be part of it and he spilt a while back.
Bethesda booked an hour and a half at E3.

I'm no super scientist, but it's not empirical science.

I believe they confirmed there was a fallout PROJECT in the works, not fallout 4. Three Dog's actor simply said "You may be seeing more of me" (more or less). As for E3, I'm not surprised there.

I do hope it's Fallout 4, and not some MOBA/MMO/Spin off genre, and it's more than likely it's FO4. Just gonna be super disappointed if it IS some spin off.

Well they did fight quite hard to have the online rights...

But Bethesda's due to release another Sandbox RPG according to their release schedule. =P

Ain't no sandbox like a post-nuclear sandbox!

Don't even say such things.

I'm sure it would be fun, but would kill any chance of a single player game in the near future, which is what I would like more.

Fallout Online
Fallout: The MOBA
Fallout for Mobile
Falloutville With Friends for Facebook

Oh yeah!

What it would kill is my hopes and dreams.

Heh, reading the background script I came across this line.

{"title-global":"Fallout Franchise",title:"Oops"}

That and whatever "four-oh-four" is, its unused for the moment. =P

Aslong as I can build a Bad*Bleep* sniper, I will be fine

Gimme an AK or a Shotgun, plus a crowbar for knocking guy's heads in and I'll be satisfied.

...

Oh like hell I will. I'll have started up a second new character before the month is out from all the mods that I've installed. I left Skyrim for that amount of time just so I could go in with some of the more livable mods being out first (font replacers, because Bethesda just love their massive text, for one).

And if anything, the biggest thing for me with this is not that Fallout 4 may be coming out. No, its that Obsidian will have another Fallout game out soon enough too.

Oh ya! Moar Fallout!

I've just gotten New Vegas, and I LOVED Fallout 3. My only hope is that it's not a online game and it will run on my PC

Fallout Tactics was a brutal, beautiful game that I could never finish.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I've been savin my caps and it's time to go track down my dog. Assuming my dog makes the cut.

Falloutville sounds oddly compelling. Anyone play that mod for fallout 3 where you could build your own town. That was neat.

This is the face I make when I don't give a damn.

I played Fallout 3 because I thought I'd never see another Fallout game otherwise. Wasn't a fan.

Since I played Fallout 1&2, with a few exceptions 3 just felt lazy and derivative. They wanted to try something new, so they moved the setting across the country. Then proceeded to softball everything else in. Some of the mutant animals? Sure, maybe. Ghouls? Makes sense.

But you gotta have the FEV, Supermutants, Floaters, Centaurs, The Enclave, The Brotherhood of Steel (Who they took all the shades of grey out that made them interesting and turned them into generic good guys), Deathclaws, all kinds of crap that it makes no sense to have in the Capital Wasteland except that they have to be shoehorned in either because we the consumer can't be smart enough to enjoy a new Fallout game on it's own merits or because the guys making the game were too damn lazy to come up with their own ideas. Not to mention the dumbing down and hand holding that happened. If you don't want me to kill kids, don't put kids in the game. As a matter of fact, don't hand me a game and call it a sandbox if you are going to make every tenth person unkillable. (Also looking at you, Skyrim)

Not only that, but we are two hundred years after the nukes flew? And yet the game looked and was set up like it happened maybe a generation or two ago?

New Vegas was an across the board improvement, and moved things back to the right part of the world, but there were still issues - notably the whole progression of time thing.


But then, magic - Wasteland 2 came out. While it had it's flaws, it was a return to top down isometric post apocalyptic rpging that I enjoyed waaaay more than 3. So I doubt 4 will do anything to draw me in.

Huh? What do you mean by that.

I'm hoping for a Fallout 4, whether it'll be in the vein of 3 and New Vegas, or even a throwback to the isometrics, I'll probably be happy.

But I really, really hope they don't do an online game.
