Just as Fallout 3 is soon to enter production, Bethesda Softworks announced that Obsidian Entertainment is going to be the developer of the next Fallout title, <b>Fallout 4</b>.
<br>
<blockquote><b>March 31, 2005 (Rockville, MD)</b> -- Bethesda Softworks® is pleased to announce that we have hired the talents of Obsidian Entertainment® to develop and design a Fallout® sequel. The return of this exceptional series is aimed at the core fans of Fallout®, because the company are confident that the game's appeal will extend to a much broader audience. "In this day when good role-playing games are rare, our releases of Fallout 3® and Fallout 4® promise to deliver what gamers have been yearning to play for ages", said Todd Howard, the game's Executive Producer. "While we wanted to make Fallout 3® our own game, we thought that the previous, cancelled attempt at it was a great idea, so we're finally giving the Obsidian® team a chance to finish it."
<br>
<br>
Howard continued, "As fellow gamers and fans of the Fallout series, we are fortunate to have the talents of the original developers of Fallout and Fallout 2 creating a worthy sequel to Fallout and we are confident that Obsidian Entertainment will deliver a game that will be remembered for years to come."
<br>
<br>
The sequel to Fallout 3, previously codenamed "Van Buren" during its development at Interplay is to resume development at Obsidian Entertainment under the currently given title of "Fallout 4", which may be subject to change. The game is to be produced by Bethesda Softworks LLC (www.bethsoft.com), a Zenimax Media company.

It looks like Fallout fans are in store for some <b>very</b> delicious treats next year.

Thanks, <b>Pete</b>!

This a joke? If not, where's the link? And, I thought; Obsidian's next game was not a sequel so where's the game they are working on between NWN2 and FO4? Seriosuly, this REEKS of a joke.

P.S. April's Fools is not til tomorrow. You are a tad early. LOL

I also got this release. There's no joke as we just got it as e-mail. And as for the missing non-sequel game, I don't know. There's probably going to be some time before FO4 enters real production (even FO3 is in the late stages of pre-production), so that gives Obsidian some time to make their third game before that. Maybe it's Star Citadel?

It better not be a joke. We need a FO4 not made by Bethesda to do some honour to the FO name. If it's a joke; if you think I'm mean now you ain't seen nothing yet. LOL

And, if it's no joke then why doens't Bethesda have it announced on their site and why no link, huh?

LIES! BY THE CODEX!

Remember that even the Fallout 3 press release was at other gameing sites first before it appeared on BethSoft's own website... Looks like their PR spammers are just quicker than the webmasters.

And, unlike Exitium, I think that making a Van Buren remake is a bad idea. We already know the whole plot anyway!

"I tried to edit it to be less mean, but Volourn caught me"

Heh, there was a part of me who wnated it to be true even thoguh the signs pointed it as false hence why I'm spamming this thread. This is one of the times I wnated the Codex to prove me wrong. :cry:

They're gullible?

They actually trust the Codex?

They're stupid?

They knew it was a hoax and was able to catch others by it?

Yep, trusted Codex, and fell for it.

Good job!
