While having no inside knowledge, I remain convinced that Mass Effect 4 will be delayed and end up a Q1 2017 title.

I have been saying this for a year.

So this is a rumor but Fallout 4 will most likely be at E3. My gut tells me its true. It will be there. I hope it has a nuclear winter setting. The deserts are just getting too overplayed and boring.

And Deus Ex and probably the new Hitman.

2016 is looking good so far.

Hopefully a release outside of 2015 means it'll be next-gen only, I'd be so bummed if they nerfed the game to be way worse than it should have for something as dumb as parity to allow for sales on the old hardware. This is the type of game they should be using to push people to move on so that we can start getting games that actually feel next-gen, as far as I'm concerned most "next-gen" titles could have easily been done on previous gen hardware excluding obvious graphical showcases. People that haven't gotten new systems need a good reason to do so and Fallout 4 is definitely a good enough reason for many people.

When i watch this, i will literally have a stroke when i hear Ron Perlman saying "War... War never changes". Probably to a black screen before the demo starts.

I honestly just cant get excited for a Bethesda Fallout game. Hopefully the engine is good and they let Obsidian develop a west coast title. Now theres something to get excited about

In addition, the game will no longer appear in 2015.

So the game will simply dissappear in front of the developers eyes? Anything Fallout 4 related development after the Great Disappearance will simply auto delete?

Must be frustrating to develop at Bethesda.

I'm shocked that anyone expected 2015.

I'm still personally expecting a release this holiday. I don't have any knowledge on its release date but there are a few factors that make me convinced rather than not. The game's been in development for quite a while now and it isn't the kind of game that needs a year + of marketing and advertising. It's a new Fallout game, everyone knows what it is, everyone will plop down 60 bones on day one regardless whether they announce it's coming a year from now or a week from now. There's no need to build up "hype", just look at what happens to the internet at any mere mention of the game, everyone's already busting at the seams before it's even announced.

Many developers and publishers are becoming more wary of announcing big games very early on and draaaagging out their marketing schedules. It's an impediment more than it is beneficial for the game. People lose interest over time, they start scrutinizing every little piece of news or info and it's counterproductive. We've seen this happen.

It's also a reason why Todd Howard said as much as he did here: https://youtu.be/V0MpuiYJkuI?t=21m51s

Do you think it'll be late holiday (i.e. late December) vs early holiday (i.e. early-mid November)? I personally think they'll try to get it as close to 2016 as possible, and wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a "Winter" release (i.e. coming very early 2016).

If a game doesn't hit by Black Friday, it might as well not even come out until next year. Late December especially is just death for a game, because at that point most holiday money has been spent.

There are exceptions (Final Fantasy X, for instance) but it's very, very rare.

That's what I understand.

Yeah that's pretty much my take on it as well. I think they want very late 2015, let's see if they hit it.

Of course, I probably shouldn't touch it until Spring 2016 ;)

0% chance it will be cross-gen.

Also, I'm willing to bet it won't be out until 2017.
Can't wait to thread bump this summer 2016 when they announce the delay

So what is the PS3 RPG they will be showing at E3 this year?

Hope the quest design is more similar to New Vegas :)

Yeah. It was bound to happen. That and Doom.

Much bigger question is will the Arcane show up.
Click to expand...

No doubt Arkane Lyon will. Dishonored was a long time ago.

Dishonored 2 and Fallout 4 would already be a dream conference for me. If we're lucky, Arkane Austin is working on Prey 2. Maybe TESO for consoles, Doom, and Battlecry can surprise. Teasers from MachineGames and Tango Gameworks would be gravy.

Should be one hell of a conference.

NV got me to actually build a mod after years of not doing my own work on games (I dicked around in map editors for WC2/WC3/SC) and I was years late to even start playing NV, I can only imagine what FO4 might make me do if it has similar support and I jump in sooner. The enemies in FO4 will never be prepared for the CQC I will mod to unleash on them :p

So 20-30 minutes of Fallout 4 and 30-40 minutes of Dishonored 2? I'm okay with this...

Anyway, hype, I really want to see what a Fallout 4 will look like.

This. Plus they're holding their first ever press conference at E3. That would seem to warrant a little more than "Oh yeah, we're making Fallout 4, here's a a fade to black teaser with millisecond flashes of characters"

That makes sense. I figured Bethesda wanted to have a launch date as devoid of competition as possible, but the truth is there's nothing else quite like Fallout out there, nor will there be for a while. So it doesn't matter if it launches a few days after Halo 5, it'll still sell gangbusters.

I'll die if Prey 2 is still alive and it's somewhat close to that trailer we saw a few years back. I so want that game.
