OT: Boston would be a pretty cool location I guess, but I wanna see post alternate 50s era nuked NYC

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck with voice roles or no sale.
I'm kidding, but I'd be surprised if Bethesda didn't go for it

I can't wait for the Late to the Potty threads.
If this true, Fenway better be in it.

Goddammit, it'll look too similar to Washington DC.
Unless it's during winter. Give me Winter Wasteland, please.

More Fallout is good for me. Favourite games of this generation.

Seems like a place where they can easily continue their patriotic theme from Fallout 3.

American missiles actually didn't make it across the pacific. It's unicorns and butterflies over there.

Yeah, they need to do something. Just changing the city isn't going to do it for me.

Bleh. Tired of their crappy cities. Somewhere like the pacific northwest would be awesome. They could have mutant bigfoot.
Bethesda has already stated that Obsidian will not be working on Fallout again.
I wonder what fun surprises this game will have in store for PS3 owners.

Bethesda is definitely making Fallout 4. They might do the same Fallout: Subtitle thing with Obsidian while they're busy with Elder Scrolls again, maybe.
edit:
When did they say that? Do you have a link?
Hmm, I like the sound of Boston. Interesting implications in-universe too, as Boston in the games is in the Commonwealth. (That's where the androids in FO3 came from, heh.) And MIT too... I'm hyped as hell now.
Have they really? I'm not surprised, but that does make me less interested in Fallout games going forward.

If you plan on using a PS3, expect longer than 3 months.
I'll be hated on, but I wouldn't mind this taking place in the far future where there are trees and grass again with a 'winter is just starting' type of theme (Not like skyrim, more realistic with lots of tall grassy fields and deciduous trees as well). Seeing communities come together again while there are still bandits in the wild would be an interesting take on the wasteland theme. My favorite part of NV was going into the forested area.

That's a good point.
I'd also like to see how us Brits have done. Plenty of big cities to explore and would make a change.
I'd also want a Wii U version - a Pip-Boy in the palm of your hands..? Instant Win!!!
We're not that lucky. It'll be Bethesda and it'll likely be an even more dumbed down game than F3 and Skyrim.

Can´t feel the hype for a Bethesda only Fallout title, after experiencing the difference between Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. :\

Damn, that's too bad. Here's hoping we get an awesome Wasteland 3 by Obsidian then.

I wanted to see California though

Or this, I can live with this. Same music composer too please.
I think this would be cool just because I am relatively familiar with the city. It would be interesting to see how it is imagined as a wasteland.
John Henry will still be claiming the sellout streak too.

Bethesdas Fallout had more atmosphere, true, but they really need to learn to write better quests and understand that choice and consequences is a really important aspect of a good RPG.
Nah.

Hard to get too excited if its Bethesda and not Obsidian doing it.
Boston could be neat but Bethesda lacks the writers to make an interesting Fallout game.
