Alternatively, may be a Wizard Of Oz reference.

Fucking delightful to read through this antediluvian thread.

Infinitron Newspost?

[Infinitron]

No more newsposts until the countdown is over.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Yeah, but they'll ask Obsidian to create another FO game hopefully.

If Bethesda stays away from the west coast, a new vegas sequel could possibly be made.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

If there's one thing I do like about Bethesda, it's how hard they troll their fanbase. Moira surviving was hilarious.

Their actual fanbase probably liked it, since Moira surviving means that if you absently minded nuke the town she lives in, you won't fail her quests and miss out on the achievements. Remember the guys who were pissed that killing questgivers in NV caused "Quest failed" to appear onscreen.

 

[set]

A sequel to NV would be a poor decision. Namely because of how varaible it all ends but also because there's no more story to tell. At the end of the day, someone takes control of the region. It would be problematic to make a proper sequel to a game like New Vegas that would satisfy anybody.

A new region has higher potential anyway. The best case scenario is you'd get to see more of The Kings or Veronica again, but their stories are pretty much over, so it'd all just be pointless fanservice. I'd rather start fresh somewhere else. Mexico/Texas could be fun, a chance to see Hispanic influence of architecture and culture.

Canada could be cool too. Maybe you get to explore one of the ancient dev studios of a popular 'RPG' company.

IdTech5 or Creation Engine?

 

[set]

Bethesda is very large, right? I would have expected them to start FO4 development a while ago, probably while Skyrim was entering the end of its production? Considering how long ago that was, and how little they knew of the specs of their new primary platforms, I would anticipate another "creation engine" experience.

Sweet!

Not sure about now, but I remember them saying that immediately after the release of Oblivion they divided duties, such that a part of the team worked on the Oblivion DLCs and the other started pre-production on Fallout 3, with the entire team moving to full production once the DLC business was sorted. If this is the case here, and I don's see why it wouldn't be, Fallout 4 is in the works for 24 months or so and in full-production mode for 12.

 

[set]

I am confident Bethesda will do Fallout justice this time.

I mean, you can't get worse than vampires.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

vampires.

Holy fuuuuu, why did you make me remember that??

Also, Bethesda will follow the latest hipster trends and make an isometric, dialogue heavy, tb crpg.

I want everyone to see this. This is what you call tempting fate.

It probably won't be Creation Engine. Fallout 4 is going to be released no later than late 2014 and then market will be deep in new next-gen and there will be several open world games all looking better than Skyrim and either released or already advertised(Witcher 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, that Warhorse game). That combined with all this news of them licensing "Void Engine" based on IdTech is pretty strong indication it'll be new tech. How good it will be, considering it's Bethesda, I have no idea. But if my assumptions are correct we are now very close to Fallout turning into actual corridor shooter. If RAGE is any indication of what is possible with IdTech

 

[set]

It is business-sensible to launch your game on the old and new console. The adoption rate of PS4/XB1 isn't that significant yet. Considering the 'Creation Engine' can run on x86, Cell and Whatever 360 is (PPC?), I bet it will be creation engine, especially true if it's coming out before 2014. DA3 will be available on all 'major' platforms next year.

The IdTech stuff will probably be for TESVI and be new consoles and uh, maybe PC.

 

[keppj0nes]

Fallout 4 is a long way away. They want you to become a slave to their new MMO guys! don't forget! Elder Scrolls Online! remember that?

 

[set]

Is that coming to consoles too? If not, I could see them launching FO4 in 2014 on their primary platforms and 2015 in PC, after TESO goes f2p.

Anyone else excited for FO:O? It will be set in post-apoc New York with the Statue of Liberty as the backdrop.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I wouldn't want a new vegas sequel honestly.
As someone pointed out, there's no reason for one.
Rather, North America is a big fucking place. I'd certainly love to see something further east, such as Texas/Northern Mexico.

 

[set]

Bethesda will go some place dumb, like New York - a place where they can shove the map full of epic skybox-consuming statues/structures.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Boston was confirmed for FO4.
Now we'll see Whitey Bulger in an all ghoul gang.

Yes, TESO will be on consoles.

Yes, TESO will inevitably be shit

 

[Akratus]

That is still a rumor. I mean, there was a tumlbr rumor and a very obvious fake fallout 4 announcement rumor that Beth showed journalists a trailer behind closed doors. The one where some bell chimes and it was in boston and shit.

I really hope that rumor is wrong because it would mean the institute which would mean stupid android slave analogy which stomps on the fallout lore much moreso than the f3 main quest (if that is possible)

Maybe, but I am not so sure (though I really want them to stop using Gamebryo or how is it called today). Fallout 3 was released in 2008 and it already looked quite dated back then (but it run smoothly on old PCs).
