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

It's like they are not even hiding it anymore with all these museums. They are just making theme parks.

Oh, and inb4 museum android wing with a recorded voice guide.

I see Bethesda are jumping on the "PROTECT YOUR *Family member/child" plot device that every cinematic majestic game seems to be using; I assume the plot is gonna have the player hunting down their family who were cryo-frozen together but have mysteriously disappeared.

Jumping on? They've had a seat on that train since Fallout 3. Did they actually get good feedback on that from Fallout 3? Hey, Liam Neeson is telling me he's my dad in a completely prescripted relationship that's exactly the same for every player, so now I'm supposed to be emotionally invested? Now I suppose that Kirsten Stewart is going to be the voice of my unconventional, loving wife with a pitch-corrected Rob Schneider as my wisecracking, precocious son. Jesus H. Christ.

Did they actually get good feedback on that from Fallout 3?

One of the biggest complaints I've seen about New Vegas (outside this forum) is that it lacks the emotional engagement of Fallout 3's familial beginnings and therefore has a weaker story. Of course, it's particulalry hilarious coming from Bethesda fans considering how Elder Scrolls games typically start.

I just hope that all this ends up with Obsidian making New Vegas 2 using an engine that's at least slightly less shitty than the previous one. Apart from that I'll happily ignore the existence of any Beth made Failout 4.

I worry we'll never get another Obsidian Fallout due to the metacritic comments and whatnot.

Speaking protagonist? Shepard confirmed

Shit's gonna get personal, majestic and visceral.

Feargus mentioned in an interview that they have been talking with Beth about making another one, so I wouldn't panic. There's a lot of possible obstacles to another Obsidian fallout though.

 

[dunno lah]

Vault Shepard to female android: We'll bang, ok?

 

[Space Satan]

Play as a pleasurebot. Target audience will be ecstatic

 

[Kitako]

Shepard game + TES level of modding? This is going to be Majestic.

 

[Decado]

Get ready for some more terrible voice acting, this time with a Boston accent.

Fahk yoo ya fahking fahk! Why don't yoo suck my cawk, yoo fahkin fairy!

Also looking forward to quest markers and killing someone in power armor with a pool cue, it doesn't get any more visceral than that! NEXT GENERATION IMMERSION, CAN YOU DIG IT?!?!

 

[Onholyservicebound]

I seriously hope they don't have that kind of shit armor system, but w/e, mods for FO3 gave power armor a DT system to shrug off small arms.

Mods will fix it!

If Bethesduh keeps their retarded shit on the east coast and lets Obsidian use the west coast to make real fallout games, I am ok with this.

I might have to quit my job if New Vegas 2 (or something similar) got made.

As a non-american the whole "it's gonna be in Boston!" announcement falls flat for me.

I'm betting the story centers around the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), probably some super-secret technology was being developed there (cryogenic freezing?) and you'll need to uncover it.

 

[Whiner]

Fallout 4 like Heavy rain confirmed with amazing characters like your son Jason
That cinematic experience

 

[Oesophagus]

Who gives a shit at this point, W2 delivers, they can make F4 a racing sim for all I care

 

[Drax]

Wait wait wait a miiinute...
No fucking ron fucking perlman?

Now they've done it...


And, btw, impressive dialogue options there.

 

[Night Goat]

As a non-american the whole "it's gonna be in Boston!" announcement falls flat for me. I just don't care enough to differentiate all those towns especially if the nukes did their job there wouldn't be much to differentiate.

As an American, I don't see what's special about Bahston either.

 

[shihonage]

is finally arriving to the idea that detailed environments matter far less than NPC interaction. He's like a baby crawling on the roadmap of game development, slowly retracing the footsteps of greater men from decades ago.

Maybe 10 years from now he'll be able to recreate something of Fallout quality.

Fixed. You seriously want these people to do "NPC interaction"? Good grief.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

The LOBSTROCITY!!!!
We must wait and see!!! This will be a badguy in Boston, along with the Bulger ghoul gang.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

I'm all for a lobstrocity, as long as it doesn't look like a power ranger villain like the mirelurks did.

How about this one?

Trigger warning: Spoony
