Don't kid around with that. I'm never playing another Fallout game on a console again after what I went through with New Vegas.

Yeah, I agree with you. Honestly, I don't think this East Coast where all the pre-war houses are standing filled with edible canned goods and the bones of their original occupants 200 years after the war is particularly good use of the setting to begin with. But trying to put some post-apocalyptic nuka-maple syrup on top of it would just be dumb. Did Canada even have a particularly distinct look and feel from America in its architecture, art, and propaganda during the Red Scare? I'm not well versed but I'm not coming up with any ideas that wouldn't just be dumb stereotypes with extra heads or irradiated poutine.
Actually they started definitely years or maybe months before Nov 2011.The development of Skyrim for example started in 2006 during the development of Fallout 3 (on which BS was working since 2004 I think, while doing Oblivion). Big devs rarely start a project right after releasing another title, since it would take forever to release pretty much anything. But of course once a game is completed, they start to fully ramp up development.

Looking forward to it. Put about 20 hours in to fallout 3 and NV each and really enjoyed those "brief" experiences with those games. I hope the landscape is a little more varied this time.
I hope that you don't come from a Vault again.

the hype for this game will be real. i fully expect Fallout 4 to be on a whole different game engine, and will be technically impressive.
Hmm, 20 hours isn't a lot of time for those games. Surprised you liked them without putting more into them. You don't come from a vault in New Vegas. I think I would prefer not starting in a vault but it's only a short period you spend at the beginning of the game anyway, so I'm good either way.
Yeah, would be a huge mistake I think. Have always been confused when I hear people talk about European Fallout or one set in China. Not that it couldn't be interesting, but it wouldn't really be Fallout.
I think it took me almost 20 hours just to get through the first town related to the story in New Vegas :lol both 3 and New Vegas gave me over 100 hours easily.

I'm not sure if this is real or not, but if it is, it's been too long. Bring on some more Fallout, please!
If Fallout SHADOW OF BOSTON releases in Winter 2015 I will fly to each and every one of your houses and do a singing telegram style apology for calling this BS.
4 + years of development or no, there's no way it releases in winter with not so much as a screenshot, dev diary, or even an admission of its existence... let alone any promotion.
Naked singing telegrams of apology to you all. But no way.

This is exactly what they did with Skyrim. It was announced in 2010 and released less than a year later.
Oh, I was thinking winter 2015 was this winter... like that song goes .. Winter spring summer and Fall, all you have to do is calllll and I'll beeeeeeee there yes I willl... cause you've got a friend..
Winter starting this Dec 21 thru Jan Feb March 2015, spring being april may, summer being June July Aug sept.. and Fall being Oct/Nov
So you know, I consider Winter 2015 to be OVER come April 1, 2015.
I guess the industry doesn't see it like I do tho.

Wow. So get this. It's so strange that this thread was made on November 5th 2014. Here's how I got here:
I was watching Karl Pilkington stuff on youtube for laughs. Completely irrelevant to anything related to Fallout. He's telling ghost stories about some ghost shadow thing that is popular in Boston or something. Keep in mind that at this point I am oblivious to the existence of this thread. Here's Karl's ghost story about the 'Boston Shadow':
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYwOOtrURQw
So I get interested about this 'Boston shadow' so I do a youtube search of it and what comes up is an image of Fallout 4. 'Fallout 4: Shadow of Boston'. So I'm thinking wow, yeah so maybe Bethesda will involve this lore as a theme of the game. Now I'm thinking I'll make a a google search of this game again only this time with NeoGaf included in the search. And what do you know, this thread pops up with the date of 11/5/2014.

Could work since Fallout's aesthetic is Future 50s, and BC formed in '46. They could be a faction
Let'em wear the Original Celtics (New York) gear though.
Best way to start one's day. Love Pilkington and his American counterpart, Dan Ryckert.
I would say it would be closer to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series in terms of gameplay though.
If this is true, what are the odds of it only being for PC, PS4 and XBO? Don't want the next fallout to be tied to cross gen.
I would be surprised if the next Fallout will be cross-gen.
They do, actually. They just put "holiday" in there between Fall and Winter to cover the November-December 31st span. A "Winter 2015" release would be Jan-Mar 2015. People in this thread think this game, if it's real, is releasing Holiday 2015.

As much as I would love a new Fallout game, I would love to see a game that takes a step outside of the US. Even if it's a DLC mission or expansion, I want to see how the Great War affected places like China or Europe.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Honestly I hope this game isn't announced or revealed until its release year comes around. I'm tired of seeing trailers for games that won't be out for 3 years haha
I have such little patience with Bethesda right now.Welp i guess that's that.
Welp i guess that's that.
I know games take time (probably making a new engine hopefully or something), but how can we be almost 3 years since Skyrim came out and yet (and 6 years since Fallout 3) and still likely no info at all soon?
Temper your expectations, Junior!
I want to say that a while back they said something like the window between their next game announcement and its release will be the shortest it's ever been.
I get the sense that they want to basically have the game done before announcing it.
I could see them pull something like an E3 announcement with a November release following it.

fuuuuuck, just announce what the game is, we dont even need a trailer or screenshot. just let us know what BGS is working on Pete :/ ..watch Fallout 4 turn into the next Final Fantasy Versus lol.
Welp i guess that's that.
All I see from Pete Hines are denials. Sick of it.
It's a no-win game. You announce something, people will demand more. People will begin complaining that they announced this thing and haven't shown anything. People start rumors about troubled development, etc, etc.
Far as I can see, he's doing his job. You should be angrier at the people doing all these hoaxes.
I'm sure when they're ready to show stuff, he'll have plenty to say. But for now it's useful for him to defuse all these hoaxes early.

lol "Shadow of Boston"
Oh, I'm not angry, just sad and a really stupid for falling for it every time
I was like you before the Survivor hoax. After that, I won't believe anything unless I see something like "BETHESDA OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCES FALLOUT 4" and I can see an actual press release and/or official site and/or official video on an official YouTube channel put up by them.

i disagree, i find it weird Bethesda has let so much time pass without announcing any future game plans. its not like Bethesda has released any games recently; Skyrim was in 2011, Fallout 3 was in 2008, and Oblivion in 2006, all of which were on last gen. nobody is going to start thinking Bethesda has development problems, but it's odd that a big studio like Bethesda is taking so long to announce even a name for their next game. what has Bethesda been doing for the past 3 years that they're still not at a point to announce anything?? three years of absence from a AAA developer is not a great sign. even Rocksteady who dropped Arkahm City back in 2011 managed to announce their next-gen only Batman game, even if its release date isnt until 2015.
i remember watching an interview with Pete Hines on Gametrailers around last fall/winter and he was discussing how Bethesda/Zenimax and other third parties publishers consult with console makers so they can plan for future games when a new console cycle begins. i doubt Bethesda was caught off guard by the hardware specs of the PS4 and Xbox One. so even if a new engine was being worked on im sure that engine was planned in advance so that it could be up and working for development on Bethesda's new game. if Fallout 4 or whatever game BGS is working on doesn't get announced by years end im going to be a bit worried.

I will forgive Bethesda for the long wait if they have been building a brand new engine for all this time. If their next game is still using that shitty engine, I will be incredibly disappointed.
