Honest question: do fellow GAFfers think Fallout 4 will be releasing this gen? I've been a little away from these rumors, thanks in advance.

MightyHedgehog · Sep 10, 2012

Are we sure that this isn't related to the SP game?

V_Ben · Sep 10, 2012

Yeah, probably Dungeon Siege 4.

steadfast · Sep 10, 2012

DS 4 is my guess, too. S-E is throwing money as fast as they can at western devs and Obsidian has never said no to a project.

Doubt it.

Geoff9920 · Sep 10, 2012

Looks like Dudgeon Siege 4. Here's hoping Obsidian's writing staff doesn't phone in the story/dialogue like they did with DS3...

LiK · Sep 10, 2012

Mass Effect Revengeance

RoboPlato · Sep 10, 2012

I don't care what this appears to be, I'm hoping for a new South Park trailer.

I would love that over a DS4 announcement. We still haven't seen a proper gameplay trailer yet.

People thinking this isn't Dungeon Siege are kidding themselves.

insane0hflex · Sep 10, 2012

Its Obsidian's version/clone of Dark Souls.

Calling it now!

Well, FNV was Bethesda's fault for QA, not Obsidian.

Fjordson · Sep 10, 2012

I'm always interested in what Obsidian is doing, but if it's DS 4? Eh..hurts me to say it, but I'm just not really into the DS series.

After those recent comments from Bethesda about their apprehension towards jumping onto next gen consoles early, it's tough to say. I'd love it to be next gen, but FO 4 would be a huge hit on the current consoles, so who knows.

No chance though, considering: "A new forum is up for Obsidian's next RPG endeavor. So secret not even its project codename is yet being revealed"

Yeah, that's DS4.

Is there any chance in hell they could have been working on a license such as NWN or did they burn all the ADD bridges?

I'd love them to work on a mythic/age of iron Souls like universe.

I'm going with "The Wheel Of Time"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time

Check the logo and '6.1 games' . The project was announced on February 12, 2010, so this could be it.

Nirolak · Sep 10, 2012

Guessing Dungeon Siege 4.

Glass Rebel · Sep 10, 2012

In a fair world this would be a Torment spiritual sequel called "4" with the Alpha Protocol conversation system and no combat.

If it's Dungeon Siege 4 then it actually will be a decently polished game, it will just be the most generic, boring thing you've ever played.

Ouroboros isn't exclusive to Wheel of Time, and if I remember those books right there's no "night market" or "Eir Glafanth". It would be cool though. Good catch.

True, but the serpent eating its tail, The 4th age, and that quote seems like it's describing Machin Shin or something.

It could be glorious.

Red Eagle put up a kickstarter for the game, so I highly doubt it: http://www.red-eagle-games.com/

Yeah, it could be awesome. I had totally forgotten Obsidian was supposed to be working on a Wheel of Time thing.

I was wondering about that project on the first page but:

a) none of the specific names mentioned so far have ever been mentioned in WoT, but this could be a spin-off
b) the wording on the front page states it's a new project. WoT has been known for some time.
c) the WoT project seems dead in the water and I tend to think there's a curse surrounding WoT adaptations.

megamerican · Sep 10, 2012

I'm really hoping it's not DS4. DS3 was fine but easily one of their least interesting games.

Mandoric · Sep 10, 2012

Eir Glanfath is completely new, and the name mentioned in the HTML is a real one that doesn't seem to be used in any fantasy property. So it's pretty unlikely to be WoT.

Erethian · Sep 10, 2012

Rodney McKay said:

That's because Dungeon Siege 3 was made using their internal engine (Onyx Engine), so any future games they made using that should be a lot less buggy.

voodoopanda · Sep 10, 2012

I want a 4th edition D&D game from Obsidian. Mask of the Betrayer was pretty good. 4th edition D&D combat rules seem made for a video game but one hasn't been made yet to my knowledge.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the less it is possible.

Still, that snake is just asking for WoT speculation...

KareBear · Sep 10, 2012

Do Gas Powered Games no longer have anything to do with Dungeon Siege?

Razek · Sep 10, 2012

Huh? That's easy. It's a countdown to an announcement of a trailer to a game years away of course!

Gianni Merryman · Sep 10, 2012

Somehow that number "4" enclosed inside a circle reminded me of Fantastic four comic, that may have some untapped potential for a good game in it, perhaps a RPG or a side-scrolling beat-em-up.

maquiladora · Sep 10, 2012

Eir Glanfath certainly has a celtic ring to it.

LiquidSolid · Sep 10, 2012

Whatever it is, I will probably buy it. I really enjoyed Dungeon Siege 3, so I'd be up for a 4th one. And Square Enix seem to be the only publisher they've worked with that hasn't fucked them over, so I hope they work with them more often.

Nirolak · Sep 10, 2012

I feel I should note that the project lead on Dungeon Siege 3 picked uP a new project immediately after their other game was cancelled.

Contract negotiations normally take 6 months so it was almost assuredly a sequel with an existing partner.

Lizard with a ladder · Sep 10, 2012

So the 4 will be a 3 tomorrow, probably with a new quote, leading up to a reveal on Friday?

Durante · Sep 10, 2012

Yeah, the only reason to think that it's not DS4 is that it would be too obvious, and that's never a good basis for an argument.

Mechazawa · Sep 10, 2012

Instead of hoping it's not DS4, shouldn't you guys be taking the safer route and hoping it's a really good Dungeon Siege game.

Sounds like a new IP?

Orayn · Sep 10, 2012

Dungeon Siege used Roman numerals for its sequels, so this may not be DS4 after all.

Except there wouldn't be much to speculate on if it were a new IP. DS4 makes too much sense. Well, I hope it's good.

Lakitu · Sep 10, 2012

No Dungeon Siege please. It's been a while since we had a really good RPG from them (since New Vegas). I want more.
