Me, really creepy, the fact that it updates with more weird stuff is creepy, and vault tech logo on the main site is there, but three dog already confirmed so i am happy lol

[ChancellorKremlin]

Better creepy than cheesy I always say.

The only thing is, I feel like it's gonna be released late 2015, early 2016 or maybe even a bit later. That's a long time

Late 2015, not 2016 , they will be competiting with games that will release on 2015 cause of ps4 and xbone.

Fallout 4 will be released in October like the previous sequels. I predict 2015. 2016 sounds a bit too far off..

Haven't played FO3, but FNV is nothing like Fallout. It's actually more Skyrim than Fallout. Seriously, they even managed to sneak in a Roman themed enemy into the Fallout world and I suppose not many of you have said "WTF!?". Also, what's left to do in Fallout world anyway? Every new Fallout title on the market seems to take away a significant amount from the atmosphere created by the original game.

 

If you don't think NV is Fallout, you never played Fallout 1 or 2.  Fallout 3 is what sticks out like the sore thumb of the series.

There's no way they'll do an early year release unless they absolutely have to.  You want to hit late year, October or November, to catch the gift-buying season.  I'd also guess '15, since most of '14 will probably involve the development and support of ES-Online.

FO3 did have a lot of Lore issues, but regardless I enjoyed FO3 much more than FO1 or FO2 or FONV as games go, to me they're all Fallout regardless 

If it's based on the Skyrim engine hopefully a lot of the bas Sex mod system will transfer over easily and a lot of work has been done for us other than learning the Skyrim CK stuff

Eso is a different studio, and publishers generally do not have a lot to do with "support", at least nothing that would keep them from dropping a new game along side.

I'm predicting late 2014, Bethesda typically announces their games a year in advance.

By support, I really meant DLC, add-ons, and other extra content.  Bethsoft is publishing ESO, whether or not they're making it (at least according the wiki).  It's all Xenimax anyway, whichever subsidiary it comes from.  I just wonder if you'd really want to many of your big products to release in a single year.

You have Bethesda Softworks - which will actually make Fallout 4 - and Bethesda Game Studios, which comprises ESO, id Software and all the other kettles they have on the fire. Work on ESO isn't going to effect Fallout or single-player Elder Scrolls games.

Tumbler stuff is hoax, but the site, we don't know yet.

This is being too hopeful.

 

Remember Fallout 3 was officially announced on July 10, 2004. 

 

The game came out on October 28, 2008. 

 

Although I don't think it will take 4+ years but I feel like it's gonna be around at least 2. BUT I hope I am wrong.

I'm not sure in my experience the accounting structures in modern companies can even handle a project lasting more than 12 months nowdays, if they approve it this year they want a return on it next year.

 

The last company I worked for expects $1m engineering projects to be done for $500k and completed 6 months from approval then wonders why every project ends up half arsed

If you don't think NV is Fallout, you never played Fallout 1 or 2.

When you played Skyrim before FNV, like I did, you'll immediately notice the similarity between the two. Even Skyrim's idiotic AI behavior and dialogue is in there. I don't deny that they put some effort to recapture the mood of the original games with FNV, but it's still a lot more Skyrim than Fallout. They even use the original soundtrack to make the game feel like Fallout, although it pisses me off to hear things like the BoS theme in unrelated places. They obviously thought that nobody would care.

 

Anyway, I don't know what makes you guys believe that you'll get at least a FNV like game, let's hope that Zenimax/Bethesda won't give you a Fallout MMO instead.

Shrug.  Wiki said Bethesda Softworks was the publisher.  To be clear, I don't think it's an issue with development resources.  I think it's a question of release schedules.  You don't want your big products cannibalizing each other by releasing one flagship product while another is still in it's major product cycle.  

 

And, of course, it's all theorizing anyway.

Reasonably, wouldn't it be that Skyrim is more NV, than the other way around?  NV was first.  It was also developed by a different company.  I'm afraid that I really don't quite see the comparison.  Other than it being another sandbox.  NV just felt like improved FO3 to me, in any gameplay aspect.  

 

AI and dialog has been an issue since Oblivion at least.

Sure, but that wasn't my point.

The AI in NV is the same AI in Fallout 3, I don't really see how that's a big issue in making it un-Fallout. Fallout is the story, freedom, internal logic and quality writing, all things Fallout 3 lacked. These are things Skyrim lacked, minus the freedom.

 

I don't expect an MMO because Bethesda Softworks makes single-player RPGs.  The subsidiary Zenimax Online makes MMOs.  I also don't expect an FNV like game, I expect either an Oblivion clone are a Skyrim-type experience because that's all Bethesda knows.  If they wanted to treat the series right they'd let Obsidian Entertainment make all future Fallout titles.

I agree, I know FO3 wasn't part of the real lore game, but I feel Fallout 3 was a great game. I really don't care for FO1 or FO2. I tried to get into them, but they are just too old for me to bother and too boring. And it's not that I think FO1 or FO2 suck, I can't say that, but I only really get into games I can mod. It's the real reason what got me into Fallout 3 to begin with. I had tor drift away from the previous game I heavily modded and when I found Fallout 3 and these mod sites, I knew what I was getting into. None of it was new. And it's far too easy to know how to mod this game. If I had gotten into the first sequels back then, things would of been different. And I would of probably sided with all the old school Fallout fans. But because Fallout 3 was my first Fallout sequel and Bethesda game, it holds a special place.

 

Bethesda released Fallout 3 as their first sequel, and it took a different turn. I get it. I know the feeling of something changing for the worse. And to me when I jumped on FNV, it felt like it took a different turn. I didn't enjoy that. I guess what bothered the old Fallout fans is what now bothers me. Perhaps they should just sell it back to Interplay. I personally think Bethesda could do a better job with a Fallout type game. Instead of buying rights to someone else's ideas and then trying to implement their own style (FO3) or continue off Interplay's. That won't happen of course. That would be the dumbest thing they ever did.
