There was a leak of information about Fallout 4 that has been mostly forgotten
https://archive.is/yEqAM
This is the timestamp of the post:
June 2014. That was about 17 months before Fallout 4 actually released.
Well, how much of it was right?
Interesting point here is Lydia. That's the name of a female Skyrim companion, maybe a placeholder?
And the post goes on with mostly correct info, a lot of the discrepancies can be explained by design changes after the employee left as they're not that large. There's no way they could have gotten so much correct about the game itself without actually playing it.
So that leads me to the point of this post.
oh and
Were there ever any leaks about the "classic mode"? Screenshots?

Correct.In Fallout 4, you are in Boston, and it takes place in the year 2287, exactly 10 years after Fallout 3..
Correct.In Fallout 4, mixing things up, we are making the game more "Story Based" and the player character will finally talk, and narrate his storyline.
Not correct, but... it seems probable it was added late into development. Playing as Nora obviously doesn't make anywhere near as much sense as playing as a war veteran.At the beginning of the game, you create your character (You can only be a male in the main story),
Pretty much correct.and afterward, you start the game with a blast.,
Nope.and afterward, you start the game with a blast. After the blast, you awake to see the building you are standing inside blown apart and your wife, Lydia, dead. Robots and Androids are storming the place, killing and kidnapping the people inside. You, known as "The Officer", must escape and get revenge.
Interesting point here is Lydia. That's the name of a female Skyrim companion, maybe a placeholder?
Correct.LOCATION: Fallout 4 is set in and around Boston and the surrounding countryside.
Correct.The downtown area is entirely controlled by "The Institute", a group of techies and scholars, as well as researchers, who devote their lives to technology. The countryside area is a "Wasteland" with small towns and settlements, as well as vaults here and there. Logan International Airport is taken over by the Brotherhood of steel, who are there trying to control the technology, and are currently waging a war against the institute, as they both have disagreements as to who should be in control of the technology in the area.
Almost correct. They're not in a vault. Coincidentally, Vault 79 appeared in FO76 later.Meanwhile, Vault 79, located outside of Boston, is under the control by "The Railroad", a group of people dedicated to helping Androids escape the institute.
Mostly correct.The Railroad returns from Fallout 3, where you only had a small glimpse of it during the "Replicated man" quest. In this game, they are a full faction and are much larger.
The Brotherhood Of Steel returns and control Logan Airport. This BOS is not the same as seen in Fallout 3. Instead, a similar BOS to the ones seen in the classic Fallout games as well as Fallout New Vegas make an appearance, only caring about technology, and will obtain it by force if they have to.
The Institute returns from Fallout 3, and is headed by a man named Thomas Littleton. They are the primary antagonists of the game, and control most of Boston Downtown. Their patrols in Downtown Boston are the counterpart in this game to the Super Mutants in Downtown DC in Fallout 3.
Talon Company also returns, but in a much smaller force. They base operations outside of a bunker located in Downtown Boston.
Raiders return too.
And the post goes on with mostly correct info, a lot of the discrepancies can be explained by design changes after the employee left as they're not that large. There's no way they could have gotten so much correct about the game itself without actually playing it.
So that leads me to the point of this post.
or on the PC version, a new "Classic Mode" that will put the game into birds eye view and play similar to the classic Fallout Games.
oh and
Dang.Fallout 4 will be able to import your Fallout 3 save, and adapt choices you made from that game for Fallout 4.
