That's how games should be announced tbh. It could be very frustrating for us but it's better than end up being dissapointed over and over again with delays after delays or revealing a game practically when they begin development and then go dead silent for years. (Zelda U, FFVII Remake, The Last Guardian, etc.)

Well yes. It is a video game released after 2007.

As hyped as I am for this game, I will have to wait until end of November to play it thanks to work and Legacy of the void. But hopefully I can find a nice deal on black friday!

Really excited. Bethesda games may have some issues, but I always love them.
Woop, happy to be right for this one.

Started playing New Vegas for the first time on PC. Liking it so far but god damn the visuals and animations are bad even for PS2 standards. Bring on Fallout 4!

Unfortunately, not every game can do it this way. For the most part, they announce games and release a steady stream of info (trailers, press impressions, dev diaries, etc) a year or two in advance to get interest built up for the audience. While it would be great to have every game do it this way, they can't as it would be too risky for them not to create buzz.
Very few games have the chance at keeping things minimal and have it on a smaller announcement to release window. The only one that I can think of that does this consistently is CoD. Fallout, and TES for that matter, are now a part of the few elite franchises that allow it a smaller announcement to release schedule. Mostly because we had about two years worth of hype and speculation that helped build up interest for Bethesda.

the game itself never takes itself too seriously so the only reason to get mad is when you forget to save. otherwise the bugs are mostly hilarious....
*walking along minding own business* "your follower has died" *WTF
Forgot to save OR forgot to have multiple saves and you saved after a nasty bug that stops you from progressing.

For balance to be restored to the universe we will have to wait three years from announcement to release of the next Elder Scrolls game.

Now that it has gone gold i think we can expect some gameplay videos to release. not that i want them so badly, i rather not see anything at all. But you'd think some kind of marketing has to start by now, although...this game markets itself pretty nicely i bet.

Then you will probably think Fallout 4 is bad even for PS3 standards.

Going gold really isn't a thing anymore though is, considering that almost every game has a D1 patch. Gone to production just isnt that sexy

I've liked what I've seen so far and I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic games so I'll deal with it.

Yeah I'm waiting a bit and playing the New Vegas DLC in the mean time. The longer I wait the better the mods will be and the more fixes the community/Beth will put out. These games just get better with age.

Yeah, "Gold" and "Beta" aren't too far apart for these guys. I'm suppressing my excitement, telling myself that this actually releases in January.

oh man, just hurry up and release!
whenever a game is announced to have been completed/gone gold then it's time to black out. haven't been following it much so i know very little when i play the game but now that it's shipping there will definitely be people getting copies early and posting spoilers.
going in my vault now. i'll be out after the bombs have dropped.

Fallout 3's embargo ended the day before it released, but that was 8 years ago so who knows.
Just as long as I get my Socks, preorder DLC and Carlsberg re-brand.

IIRC Danny O Dwyer from Gamespot said in his Fallout 3 stream he heard that review copies will come well in advance (he hopes to do Fallout 4 stream for charity (Extra Life) 1 week before release). So we will see.
Fuck. Time to get in my internet proof spoiler bunker around that time.
Glad that it's going to reviewers early, would have thought it would have been slightly embargoed though.

Does the Pip-boy edition come with a code or is it the physical disk?

nice!
Disc, at least for consoles. I don't think the PC version is different, but it's possible.
EDIT: PC is disc too.
