Bethesda filed for a Fallout 4 trademark



I hope they revamp the chat system and combat. Please don't be Skyrim 2.0.

Ladies and gentlemen, today, we are cancelling patiently awaiting the apocalypse.

I really need to replay Fallout 3. New Vegas is undoubtedly a better game, but I fucking loved the music and setting of F3. It also had the benefit of being brand new to me whereas NV did not. There's nothing quite listening to "Tickled Pink" whilst trawling through the unknown depths of the DC subway system.

Delays happen, but if Fallout 4 isn't at least projected for that period it will be an unusually long down period for the studio.

Also fits a ZeniMax schedule.
Q1 2014 - The Elder Scrolls Online
Q2 2014 - Wolfenstein: New Order
Q3 2014 - The Evil Within
Q4 2014 - Fallout 4
Q1/Q2 2015 - Dishonored 2
Q3 2015 - Doom "Endlessly delayed" 5
Q4 2015 - Prey "What is this even?" 2

Pick 1 or 2 to be delayed into 2016/cancelled.

Doom...5?
When did Doom 4 come out?

It's about fucking time. And now we get to see what it looks like without 360/PS3 limitation on memory.

I'm guessing Winter 2014, given that Skyrim was about a year from first news to launch iirc. Which means 2-3 years down the line, we'll have (hopefully) another Obsidian offering.

So? Why do people want more Fallout?

It'd be a new place but with very similar themes. There isnt much you can do to make a post apocalyptic setting of a post nuclear America refreshing. All Fallout games share this commonality and we have seen it four times now. More if you include Tactics which I havent played. Let it go. It is now boring.

It's my favorite series of last gen, and the one I am most looking forward to. it will have been almost six years since Bethesda made a Fallout game.

I assuming this will be next gen exclusive. Have Bethesda talked about where they want to see the Fallout series go? I assume better graphics are a given but what other next gen features do they want to add. I don't think a larger world is as important as constructing a more complex world with more option for the player to do as they want.

Well if this was from Obsidian I'd tell you it's because the writing, story, quest design and RPG elements would all be amazing and we get hardly any big budget open world RPGs anymore so it would be worth it. With great writing and design you can make just about anything fresh.

I think I will buy the ultimate edition and play through it for 4th time, since there are no next gen RPGs and Fable and South Park were delayed.

This happens to me all the time. I'm pretty sure I almost have 500 hours logged on Steam for New Vegas, and I've only actually beat the game twice. I always get too sidetracked.

We know pretty much nothing. The only thing I recall being mentioned was that someone from Bethesda spoke about the 'mojave being a fun place to visit', which hopefully means we won't get another series of dilapidated subway tunnels.

I don't think a larger world is as important as constructing a more complex world with more option for the player to do as they want

From my experience, Bethesda has usually been more focused on the former. But we will have to wait and see how they've taken feedback from what people loved/hated about 3 and NV.

I do hope that they keep hardcore mode, or at least offer some cool new 'simulation' aspects. Blazing through chugging stimpacks is fun for a rambo playthrough, but does get boring after a bit.

As much as I'd like to play the new Fallout without shelling out £400+, it's very clear they can't really imagine any sort of expansive vision on current gen systems.

Skyrim was two step forwards, one step backwards. Bigger world yet with less meaningful quests and other pointless shit just made it redundant.

I think Besthesda will do something new between Fallout and ES. Be it another reboot of an old franchise or a new IP.

I wouldn't count on it. Their response from all of the reaction and success surrounding Oblivion was to make the next ES game even dumber and less focused and balanced.

As for the hardcore mode I hope they scrap it. Even Obsidian couldn't do it right and like every hardcore mode in existence it felt tacked on and pointless. Bethesda needs to focus on making a good game at the core for once instead of making empty sandboxes that are only good for giving "feels" to the player while they wander its emptiness.
