Awww, and here I was hoping to see Bethesda giving us at least a teaser. Still, when video companies tell they're not unveiling anytime soon, they are actually gonna unveil something pretty soon, you know how publishers are.

"I get to see it and it's already really awesome, but it's probably helpful to note that anyone who thinks that what he's working on next is going to be talked about soon doesn't understand game development.


Pete Hines truly understands game development :balance:

Wouldn't surprise me if they coordinate PR that way, but they're different development teams entirely so probably not. They always release in Autumn and it obviously isn't going to be this Autumn, so plenty of time left.

Wonder if they'll just ditch VATS outright.

More rumor bullshit: http://www.bubblews.com/news/660463-fallout-4-announcement

Fallout 4 has (apparently) been absent from E3 this year. However, behind closed doors, Bethesda gave details and a 37 second trailer for the upcoming Fallout 4. Pete Hines of Bethesda is keeping tight lipped about the 45 minute presentation, but it seems there was a leaker inside who was willing to give this information.

Aside from all the rumours, this is the only confirmed news. It just looks like we have another 2 years before we'll be able to play the game.

Bulletpoints:

> Fallout 4 has been in development since January 2011 by a small team, as the majority were working on Skyrim.

> As of February 2013, the team working on Fallout 4 is the size of the team which was working on Skyrim. This is due to Skyrim development ending.

> As it stands now, Fallout 4 will release on Xbox One, PS4, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. However, this is still subject to change.

> The actual announcement for Fallout 4 will come BEFORE E3 2014, but will NOT launch in 2014.

> The expected launch is in October 2015.

> The game is (as of June 2013) 55% complete, consequently, voice actors will be hired towards the end of 2014.

> There is no planned multi-player, but there is a possibility of Co-Op locally.

> The game will take place in Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington (and surrounding areas). The main setting is in a Post-Apocalyptic Boston. However, this area will not be immediately accessible.

> The story is not clear, however, Vaults exist.

> The 37 second trailor starts starts with a half-broken phone sparking. The scene pulls out slowly with the stereotypical music you would hear. Slowly you work out the scene is pulling out of a belltower. As it pulls further out, you see a destroyed town around. This is Boston. Suddenly, you hear the bell chime loudly, and the screen changes black instantly. The words of Ron Pearlman are heard "War... War never changes...". The logo for Fallout 4 appears with the 5 platforms above listed.

"Xbox 360 and PS3"

:killit:

So more last-gen gameplay with better graphics then?

Still copying the FO1 intro I see...

Damn, 2015? Crazy slow considering they supposedly have two teams now.

That means the real Fallout 4 from Obsidian is like 4 years away. :(

So, will we meet Whitey Bulger reincarnated as a ghoul running South Boston with the rest of the Southies, a bunch of potato eating ghouls and super mutants?

Why even acknowledge these crappy rumor posts? Some no-name site with no prior history of leaks reveals this first? Yeah, right.

That guy done fucked up:

http://www.bubblews.com/news/683638-fallout-4-logo-revealed

Obvious fake - and he couldn't even bother to obfuscate it a bit from reverse image search: http://web-zest.deviantart.com/art/Fallout-logo-258490902

So the announcement itself was all bullshit, too. Big surprise!

Bethesda released a statement saying:

We showed three games at E3 - Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Elder Scrolls Online and The Evil Within. We did not show any of our games behind closed doors.

I'm expecting much from this game. I loved Fallout 3, it was a great idea to set the game in Las vegas and i loved how they added new interesting content to setting instead of ripping of the old games.
This one will be great if they continue the story from the ending of F3 and throw us into massive NCR-LEGION war.

Knowing Bethesda, some elements from Skyrim will definitely make it into Fallout 4.
Things like Dual Wield, simplified mechanics and the (much needed IMHO) improved animation system.
Don't let the fanboys and (supposedly professional) journalists fool you, Fallout 4 is going to be shit. Maybe not as shit as Fallout 3, but shit nonetheless.
