and there is nothing about ghouls re-enacting bunker hill that would be even mildly out of place in fallout, the game where people are sad that a retard dialogue option is missing. You just wanted to do some weird nerd monkeycheese diss and are super bad at it was my point, the last game ended with a giant atomic robot storming the ruins of washington DC yelling about communists. Get over yourself.

Yes but that game was bad, unlike the other games which were good

I like Fallout but 3+'s overindulgence on '50s Americana' as a big theme is something I think they can lax a bit on.

If they were stuck in weird 50s culture because they didn't invent some computer chip then that also has implications for the culture of other places, Britain, the rest of Europe etc and they can easily build something different with that while maintaining big links to the fallout universe.

Also I don't know when 4 will be set but I'd expect it to be around the +200 years ballpark still. I think the reason for that is the Nuclear Winter lasted a hell of a long time. There's a log in New Vegas where some guy lives for about 50 years and can't go outside because of the winter so sits in his cave vault and dies. In terms of when post-apoc civilization started its probably around +100 years after the actual war.

Whatever you define as 'Good Story Telling', it sure as hell didn't make New Vegas better than 3. Sympathetic but mundane good guys (NCR), unsympathetically evil guys (Cesar) fighting over a low-scale/low-impact thing (Hoover Dam). Yawn.

Compare to walking behind a giant gunmetal Optimus Prime, shouting anti-communist slogans, throwing nukes like a football, against remnants of the US Government, in order to purify the water for the entire east coast of the setting. loving awesome.

I really hope it's bullshit, because No Girls Allowed would be pretty dumb.
Also, there's very little evidence that we even get to customise the character: which I guess wouldn't in reality be that big of a deal but would still be lovely.

It's to be speculation until e3 which is the 17th.

I thought both Fallout 3 and New Vegas were kinda poo poo, New Vegas especially was a buggy mess and incredibly uninteresting. This trailer looks like poo poo and does nothing to convince me that FO4 won't be equally disappointing.

Boston's about as interesting to me as DC or Vegas was, as in not at all. I doubt most people give a poo poo about some uninteresting yank 'landmarks', they're here for the post apocalyptic action and story. Also lol elvis

Some of that is probably true, some an educated guess. It doesn't look like F4 is using a brand new engine, and if it is, it seems to be heavily reliant on its immediate predecessor. We'll know when they release gameplay footage. It's crazy to speculate purely on a basis of a reveal trailer.

some of that stuff will be true by virtue of the fact that its a fallout game

Yes, btw, did you know Fallout 4 won't be an RPG either?

I mean, have you seen any RPG elements? I don't think so.

I would also bet it will be completely linear, no dialog choices either.

Now that I think of it, we haven't seen a single first person perspective, so it must be third person only as well.

call me cynical but Fallout 4 doesn't look very impressive thus yet

I'm surprised that Bethesda could manage to model a german shepard dog and manage to make it look like poo poo still.

Actually no I'm not surprised.


Although when it is mod friendly it might be interesting, but I will probably suffer the skyrim syndrome whereas modding the game would be more fun than playing it

Yeah the fields of weeds and single level strip malls would make an amazing landscape. Just go loot Applebee's #476 for a sweet scope! No not that Applebee's, the one across the street. You could save a fortune on modeling artists.

So fallout Oblivion and Fallout 3 were made with the Gamebryo engine, and it's bad at animations and it was already too old when 3 came out, etc etc.. So then Skryim comes out with a new engine, apparently called the Creation Engine, and it looks way better, especially in animations, and all my friends have spent years saying "can't wait for Fallout in the Skyrim engine".

So why does this trailer look like it was made in the Gamebryo engine? I can't be, it just can't be.

Except that This page suggests that yes I'm not crazy and they're going to release a gamebryo engine in 2015. What? Why? What FPS company ever has gone through the trouble of making a new game engine, then go back and release their next game in the previous generations engine? gently caress, gently caress.

I mean, gently caress, I'll play it, and I'll have a good time but...but drat Bethesda, really?

Edit - I mean really I just wanted Bethesda to do the heavy lifting on a Creation Engine fallout so that then the New Vegas guys could make a game from it.
