Fallout 4 Pre-Announcement Bullshit Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

Oh god. That seems right up Todd Howard's alley. "F4LLOUT". I will laugh for days if that happens.

 

[ohWOW]

Does anyone think it will NOT be called F4llout?

It's the only way it can be done.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

It would be too perfectly hilarious. The day Bethesda officially became a parody of themselves.

Parody? They are raking in cash, and have become one of the major AAA+ players... :D

You missed my meaning...and I'm not sure how to lead you back to it. :/

Wasn't OblIVion already such a derpy title for sake of THE NUMBER IN THE TITLE?

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

But they didn't spell it OblIVion anywhere, did they?

 

[ohWOW]

I remember some article where some retard was babbling something about IV in the title Oblivion as a reference of "it's to show that it's the fourth game of the series".

Bro, no I didn't. I was just ironic/sad/sarcastic that the world, and my beloved gaming hobby has come to this. Hordes of drooling retards and millions of $ invested into voice acting and marketing. Imagine the world without morons, where real rpgs like W2 and PE and TOEE and real Fallout and etc. would have budgets of 50 million $ and would cater to gamers like they were in the 80s and 90s.

Instead we got this:

Or even worse, this:

I'm not saying that writing F4LLOUT would be any more ridiculous than the fucking "Fat Man" or anything. Just that it would be a very loud admission that they are proud consoletardian bringers of decline AWESOME!

I'm fucking certain they will use F4LLOUT. At least in teasers/trailers. It makes the retards salivate more...

I think it'd be really cool if they rebooted the series and decided to just call it Fallout.

How hard shall we be trolled?

Well, at least it's related to the storyline, like the "O" in the title / cover being both "O" in daedric alphabet and the format of the oblivion portals. "F4llout" would be l33t sp34k for the sake of it.



edit: ...unless FO4 is set in a nuked japan, where the number 4 is a symbol for death.




I...I'm thinking like Todd.

Part of me wishes they did that to begin with, but then we would not have received the real Fallout 3 in New Vegas.

Kill yourself before you multiply!

 

[EG]

Yes, add multiplayer to F4llout.

It's the effect of what Alaundo/Nietzsche said about gazing into the abbyss.

 

[DalekFlay]

Yes, add multiplayer to F4llout.

With clans and color-coded epic loot! I wanna be the clan "vaultz killerz" healer!

 

[ohWOW]

Super Mutant shamans with healing totems ahead.

 

[TripJack]

harold will be a forest

 

[ohWOW]

It will be an epic dungeon area. You will kill Harold for purple pants.

 

[Manjuice Nutella]

Rare loot: Power Armor that will add 5,274 DT/DR and +75 to Agility in overhauled SPECIAL that will be sub-par to everything else as soon as the stats will be inflated in new Mexico/Canada Expansion Pack.

 

[Menckenstein]

Vehicle based combat. On rails missions where you man the trunk-turret of a Highwayman or Corvega while outrunning Vertibirds manned by enclave super mutant army.

You couldn't do this in the main series, for obvious reasons (Americana is central to the game's identity, Bethesda would assfuck any attempt to include a new thematic component), but I think there'd be good potential for a NV style 'same universe spinoff' set concurrently with the events of FO1, but in China. It's plausible that a massively centralised government could have an extremely different reaction to, and recovery from, nuclear holocaust. I'd love to see that done, with a formerly heavily integrated society suddenly having to deal with extreme localised independence for the first time in centuries. Whereas the brotherhood of steel in FO tries to protect the tech, in FO: Shanghai you'd have similar groups trying to preserve books and pieces of centuries-old chinese culture (like the monks in real life who tried to hide, protect and smuggle out cultural artifacts and history books to hong kong as the communist cultural revolution swept in - often paying for it with their lives).

Of course, if it ever were done it would probably be a herp derp equivalent of the Chinese city in FO2. Done well, however, with cultural and history consultants helping the design, it could be awesome: I can just envisage this grey-but-possibly-necessary remnants of the old chinese bureaucracy taking over from the collapsed government, more determined to keep a national order than their US counterparts, but with a local population questioning wondering whether or not they really WANT to re-establish the meritocratic beauracy, or whether they should use this new beginning to adopt a new Chinese culture (individualism? Back to confucionism? Localised governance?). And then, of course, a whole new batch of destructive weapons and radiated horrors springing from the eastern end of the world (perhaps their focus was on genetic alteration rather than laser tech, so you've got genetically altered tigers that were once controlled via brain chips, plaguelands where viral experiments ran rampant once there was no-one left to make sure they were sealed in, etc).
