Fallout will probably be 2016. Seems too late for a 2015 release when you consider how long the typical announcement-to-release window is for games that are this massive, took this much time to make, and can gather this much hype. It's marketing. They want to maximise attention. Skyrim was a 1 year wait, so there's no reason for this to not be.

Todd Howard mentioned in an earlier interview how he wants to shorten the gap between reveal and release. Q4 2015 is still possible.

This thread has reminded me I really want to get back into NV.

I was lttp and got a ways in then stopped. Bought on PC a year or so ago and the graphics killed my enthusiasm.

I tried to mod it but ended up with desktop crashes and haven't had the energy to give it another go.

At this point I REALLY need a good enb to get me through it but I am not sure I want to waste the time again only to get another mess.

The (admittedly terrible) graphics are what's keeping you from playing NV? Man, that's a shame

I really hope they can bring compelling stories / quests to this game. After TW3, its going to be hard to play another soulless Bethesda RPG.

The pre order stuff has me thinking this will be 2015. We shall see.

I want to say to myself, "wait for the mods to fix whatever's broken, NV is infinitely better because of it" but I'll break down and buy it day one. I always do. I can't. I'll try though.
 
Ideal situation: Fallout 4 in 2015

Second most ideal situation: Fallout 4 next year, Fallout 3/NV: High CND Edition

Not so ideal situation: Remake of Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel by Ubisoft

Nightmare situation: Fallout 4 for the GBA/N-Gage

Deathclaw situation: Bethesda releases their own actually genetically mutated Deathclaw onto the stage, killing hundreds of unwashed journos. Oh, also, retailer exclusive preorder DLC for every retailer in America. Good Will gets a crossbow.

If this isn't Fallout 4 then I don't really care about it to be honest. I own both Fallout 3 and New Vegas on PC and dem mods are better than any PS4 remaster we're likely to get...

This made me chuckle especially when I got to the last part.
 
YESS! I'm so excited!! :D

I'm curious as to when this will come out; it'd be awesome if it was 2015, but 2016 seems more likely in my opinion. Hopefully the game isn't as buggy as Skyrim was on PS3.

Weren't FO3 and NV pretty short waits? Like 6-8 months or something?
FO3 was over a year. The first trailer was in June 2007, and the game released in October 2008.

New Vegas was over a year as well. Announced in April 2009, released October 2010.


There is some hope though. Notice how they all release in October? We could either be looking at October 2015 if we're lucky, but then again it could be 2016 because, as we can see by FO3 and FNV, they were released in October the next year.

Even without mods, on Windows you have access to console commands that often can help you progress beyond broken quests etc. So that's always a benefit if you can run it, and it also helps if you should come across corrupted save files, it's not as severe as if you were playing on console. I remember when I bought Fallout 3 for Xbox 360 and the game kept crashing the console, it wasn't fun.

As far back as I can remember (Morrowind), they have always announced their games a year+ out.

I have always loves BGS' output so it's fair to say I'm pretty hyped, regardless of the platforms or engine. I do hope they've learned some good Fallout level design and combat lessons from FNV though, I definitely felt it was superior in those areas even though I already really liked FO3.
 
* Having dreams of leaving a vault in beautiful The Order like graphics with no black bars, 1080p@60, no bugs or slowdowns and amazing view distance *

it's my dream, get out

And then you see the recycled animations and cry tears of janky, uncanny-valley despair.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.

Yeah maybe I should be dreaming of a (totally) new engine first.

Calm down! It's current gen only. The mentions of 360 and PS3 are merely for registering for the newsletter.

Found some more stuff:

The youtube link goes to a Fallout 3 DLC trailer at the moment:

Look at the preorder and footer section, only PC,X1 and PS4.

I'll wait and see I guess. Maybe they pull off some improbable feat and the old gen version doesnt hold back the next gen version. As unlikely as that is. But we all know that wont happen. I'm not really interested in a Bethesda game made on old tech.

I seriously don't understand why people think it could be a remaster. They didn't spend 5 years working on a remaster, you can be damn sure of that. And it's BGS... They don't do that.

Please no cross gen. Please no cross gen. Please no cross gen. Please no cross gen. Please no cross gen. Please no cross gen. Please no cross gen. Please no cross gen.
 
So the twist is going to be that we're an advanced rogue android that's had false memories implanted, right

That's what's going to happen 3/4 of the way through the game when we're at the Institute or meeting the "Masterbrain" or whatever


just getting that out there now
