Fallout Announcement Confirmed!

[Cowabungaa]

I want to be a snarky downer about Bethesda making Fallout 4, but...nah, I'll let the Fallout 3 fans have this.

Well, we don't know yet if it's Bethesda actually developing it themselves. We can be sure they're publishing it, but that's all. I'd like it to be Obsidian though, provided Bethesda gives them space this time. Giving Obsidian space gave us Pillars of Eternity.

Fat chance it's Bethesda of course. But y'know what? If they combine the lessons learned from New Vegas and Skyrim, I'm actually optimistic.

Fuck it, being hyped is way too fun anyway. Wooo!

Edit: Welp, they added a little clickable thing saying "The Fine Print" and yeah it's developed by Bethesda themselves. Fingers crossed.

(not quite the same, but it's the Rock, soo...)


By this point (about half an hour until the big reveal), it's all but confirmed as at least two screenshots have been leaked/discovered already, with Boston being the location:

I am here for the hype train. 10 min.

I want a deathclaw companion.

 

[Blacklight28]

5 mins. The anticipation is palpable.

 

[Thunderous Cacophony]

It's at zero, but I'm still only getting "Please Stand By" without the clock now. Bethesda, why have you forsaken us?

EDIT: 10:05, a flash of static, then back to the 'Please Stand By." Torches and pitchforks ordered from Amazon.

EDIT 2: The website is broken, but official trailer on Youtube!! Fallout 4, suck it MMO naysayers!

Now here we go.
I know what myreaction [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_J6-3l3hCm0] is to this.

There were many things in the trailer, but two things got me.
An airship, and a possible voiced protagonist.

Edit #1: Also, that hoisted up power armour near the end, is it me, or does it look larger than the normal suits?

 

[Ragsnstitches]

Well, I'm psyched. Forgive me for low content post, I just felt I had to post this.

EDIT: ninja'd

Colour?! In my Fallout 4 trailer?! Impossible!

Man I can't fuckin' wait, and by the looks of the graphics it looks, well, outdated enough for my PC to still be able to handle it. I don't need no Witcher 3 quality, as long as the art direction is solid, and by the looks of the trailer it's pretty damn solid indeed.

And is it just me, or are we actually going to see a new city? Like, newly built-new, with some old buildings still there but actually fixed up a bit. Seems to be that way, looking at the 2:04 mark.

Loved the little peek at pre-bombs civilization, by the way.

Next up: speculating the launch date. Man, imagine if at the E3 we hear they'll release it in like a month. I'd faint right there and then. Nah, probably going to be first quarter of 2016 with delays down the line.

- New Dog Companion!

- Voiced Protagonist/Antagonist!

- Possibly Pre-Nukes Gameplay?

- Airships!(Maybe Fast Travel?)

I hope we get a release date at E3.

 

[NoX 9]

Hell yes. Hell fucking yes!

I cannot wait for this game now, I have been drooling at the thought of another Fallout game by one of my favorite game makers. Today was an awesome day!

 

[stroopwafel]

Really cool. Fallout 3 was a buggy mess but I still absolutely loved that game. Can't wait for this. I also wonder how far into development this is. I'm hoping for a holiday release, but I guess that's not really likely.

 

[Neurotic Void Melody]

Well well well. A dog companion makes a lot of sense for that setting. Though the temptation to create a Will Smith lookalike protagonist and hope to god there is a dodge charger hanging about, may be too much.

 

[martyrdrebel27]

can anyone discern if that's a real life city based on landmarks?

 

[Mikeybb]

Oh my word.

That looks wonderful.

can anyone discern if that's a real life city based on landmarks?

I think it might be Boston.
Possibly Massachusetts.
Basing this all on the rumour of minutemen and that statue that looked conspicuously like one.

 

[baddude1337]

can anyone discern if that's a real life city based on landmarks?

Pretty sure it's Boston, as all the rumours suggested. Guess that means The Commonwealth mentioned in 3 will play a part.

Looks like they are disregarding the original game's lore a lot again, and the graphics don't look fully ' next gen', perhaps the game will be very scalable to increase PC sales, or maybe even last gen releases.

Shame they are still ignoring the original lore, but looking forward to some gameplay. I'm optimistic they haven't gone too far action, dropping the RPG elements along the way.

 

[Dalek Caan]

At about 1:57 in there was a statue that might exist somewhere in America so I'm trying to track it down. Though I think there might be more than one Man on Horse Statue in America.

 

[ChupathingyX]

can anyone discern if that's a real life city based on landmarks?

The building with the gold dome is the Massachusetts State House and the statue is the Paul Revere statue in Boston. The tall obelisk also appears to be the Bunker Hill monument.

 

[Grampy_bone]

Oh wow, can't wait to see mods that make the game actually good.

I kid! I kid! Kind of.

As much as I am a fan of the old fallout games, I have to admit that Bethesda brought the series more success than it would have had otherwise. Their plots are pretty dumb though.

 

[FirstNameLastName]

I really should know better than to be hyped for this ... but I am.

I just hope Bethesda isn't continuing their trend of progressively discarding more and more RPG elements with each successive game.
