Ok just now the new Fallout Game was announced on the Stream which kinda surprised me. They showed a small trailer. Since it is not Fallout 5 maybe it is a spin off set in a different Universe and in the year 76? Who knows. At least this is something I will be interested in during E3

 

[Tarkus98]

Well damn, this came out of nowhere. I’m interested!

 

[Grinchy]

Could be cool, but I hate the way they spent 24 hours to reveal this extremely limited information.

 

[wipeout364]

Maybe it refers to Vault 76?

[iconmaster]

Maybe it refers to vault 76?!

I thought that was clear from the trailer? The narrator states, “In Vault 76 our future begins.”

 

[Soltype]

Hoping it's done by obsidian since it's not a mainline game.

 

[off duty ninja]

The video clearly is talking about vault 76 but I don't remember anything about it. I always need more Fallout though so I am pretty excited!

 

[iorek21]

It seems it’s an online game...

 

[wipeout364]

I thought that was clear from the trailer? The jumpsuit.

I was so excited I didn’t watch it. I just did and was Disappointed to not see any gameplay, only because I’m worried it will be a mobile game or a card game or something. I will keep my fingers crossed it’s not.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Color me interested!

 

[wipeout364]

Are Obsidian and Bethesda on good terms? I thought they were not, but would support this if it happens it would be amazing. Might be cool to get a pillars of eternity style fallout from them really old school.

76 was the "control" vault, where they didn't implement some sick experiment on the inhabitants. It's the perfect starting point for an online Fallout.

 

[Nikana]

It's off they didn't hold this for the press conference. Even when everyone on the planet knew they were going to close with Fallout 4 in (2015?) They still waited and announced it in their terms.

could be. You could be spending weeks only to end up severely disappointed in the end(aka. pokemon let's go)

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vault_76

Most likely it is the year 2076

 

[LOLCats]

An online game, which is a wonderful way to ruin a morning.

The end of the trailer also says vault 76, so seems a little vague right now. The year on the pip boy is 2102

The tweet literally says "the newest game from Bethesda Game Studios"

Looks like I missed that then.

 

[Klart]

According to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier it is an online game of some sort.

Makes sense. I think ESO is doing well, so maybe they are doing something similar with the Fallout universe.

 

[Redshirt]

I don't think this is the long-rumored Fallout Online or another ESO equivalent.

I suspect smaller in scale. Survival game seems like a good guess.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

If it's an online game then you can 100% count me out.

I have zero interest. I recognize that I am not a majority and with so many online games raking in dough I can't blame Bethesda for trying to dip their hand into that pool.

I'd take Fallout 3 Anniversary over another online RPG any day.

[ruvikx]

Goddamn I hope this thing isn't an online fallout. That's a massive hyper nuking bummer right there. Also, these teaser trailers offer absolutely nothing except the game announcement in & of itself. I mean at least show a snippet of gameplay, i.e. would that be too difficult? Blegh.

 

[Predwolf]

This guy called it three hours before reveal.

CNs: Base-building mechanic is a huge part, and it's online.

There were 4chan posts from December saying the same thing as well.

 

[Gaplanet]

Obsidian already tweeted that they are not in this project.

 

[GoldenEye98]

What are the chances it's BR-centric?

 

[Blam]

You know this is gonna be a massive map, and just gonna let you build a base, fight others, and loot with friends. It's gonna be a COOP/Online Fallout with basebuilding, and vault upgrading? No modding obviously it'll break a lot of shit no doubt.

If they keep that garbage out of fallout 5 then sure, otherwise I'm out.

He also says that Microsoft is announcing a Sunset Overdrive 2 at E3, among the usual suspects (Halo, Gears, Forza).

 

[DonF]

Its a battle royale set in the fallout universe, with 76 people multiplayer.

 

[bufkus]

Thankfully it sounds like a smaller, non-AAA game, which means they might still announce Starfield at E3 as well.

Also said fallout remaster is at e3. Kind of sounded like it would be at the ms conference

 

[Trogdor1123]

Deleted.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Nice, more fallout. I can't wait to see real gameplay.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Disappointing, not at all what I was hoping and online base building does not sound appealing to me.

But the time period is interesting, so I won't write it off completely, I need to see more.

 

[Scopa]

Hmm...it doesn’t bother me that this exists, but I’ll most likely not be buying it. I doubt a proper Fallout will get announced anytime soon, so I will keep on hoping for an Elder Scrolls announcement at E3.

 

[Dargor]

Is it gonna be a battle royale kinda thingy? If it is, I hope its good and all, for the people that like that kind of game, but I'll have to pass.

 

[EV4D]

Todd Howard was not behind all the Fallout games, but he was behind the best ones. Since he is in charge of this game I am in!

 

[Pallas]

Interesting, I’m wondering if it’ll be similar to MGS:V with the online feature, where players could invade your base and make off with stuff.

Maybe some sort of pair function with Fallout Shelter?

 

[Jigsaah]

I need to take a stand here. Is no one else at a bit underwhelmed with the lack of quality in several aspects of Bethesda games? I really wanna see an overhaul here. The character models, shooting mechanics, swordplay, hit collision...etc. There's just too much jank for me with these games. What's more tragic...I OWN THEM ALL. Bought Skyrim twice even...each time I'm slightly more annoyed with the animation, the drab environments and the horrendous voice acting. I need an intervention. I gotta resist this. That being said, I loved dishonored 2. The take had a touch of Elder Scrolls, with better looking character models, better fighting mechanics, and no stupid V.A.T.S. crutch.

laying groundwork for FO5 which is already in the works.

Yuck

 

[Ivory Samoan]

I'm weirdly onboard with an online Fallout game.

Sign me up to the train Scotty.

 

[Dr.brain64]

Online/ multiplayer?
No thanks.

Give me Oblivion, Fallout and New Vegas and I'm set for years. Please.

That actually sounds kinda... interesting.

 

[MightySquirrel]

Yep. Rust like in Fallout universe makes tons of sense. Interested now. Hate teasers that doesn't give any clues of what the game is about.

 

[Red Crayon Aristocrat]

Yuck

Moving the whole crafting and building thing to a spinoff is fine but I would prefer a Fallout 5 move AWAY from that stuff as it was my least favorite aspect of 4.

I wonder what it means by "numerous retcons"? At this point in time it's best to pretend Bethesda's Fallout is an entirely different continuity separate from the original two games and New Vegas, it just makes more sense that way.

 

[MayauMiao]

I am not too happy to heat about the online part. Single player for me or nothing at all.
