Update: Fallout 4 trademark filed by Bethesda

Or is that 10 hours? I'm not sure.

Anyway, the 2299 site appeared online, which might actually be Fallout 4, because Bethesda apparently registered the domain.

Yay, moar stiff NPC animations! Can't wait!

What do you think System Wars?

Also, looks like 26days 10hours:21minutes:

FTW

One of my favourite franchises.
Can't wait !

Well, this basically confirms it. It must be Fallout. Yay!

Day one.

I can't think of anything else it could be.

"So, if you're asking whether or not it's hinting at fallout, yes it is. It's not meant to be clear, but it's there if you're looking hard enough.

The Atheneum is in Pennsylvania, which is part of the current US Commonwealth. So, have that in your craw.

Battleship Cove is in Maryland, which is also part of the Commonwealth (in fallout lore).

The images don't work, because the website was changed to redirect back to the main site after New Vegas was released. They held some videos and spoilers for NV and F3.

Bethesda making? No fvcking thank you

We need another GODsidian Fallout.
For sure.

Eww another Failout game

Hopefully it's not a buggy mess.

Would be cool if they used the same engine used in Metro Last Light to achieve that gritty atmosphere.

@Sagem28: exactly. We all know what to expect for a bethesda fallout game. Ocean wide puddle deep

It's gonna be.
It's Bethesda after all.

Sadly, they take time to become fully playable.

Well, Zenimax owns the IP, so it's logical they'll hire their in-house studio to make the game, since F3 was highly praised among the press. But yeah, I also kind of wanted Obsidian.

For a gaming forum, some people here sure do hate games.

Day one for me.

This type of games are best to be played 6 months after the release.(You know plenty of good mods to chooses, no bugs, etc)

Very good......can't wait for the next Fallout game on PS4.

Absolutely no question! Am I the only one who loves Fallout much more than TES?

Oh boy, i hope it's true! And please, next gen/PC only and no more loadings between interior and exteriors.

Dear Lord! Please be true.

I give them equal footing. Enjoy them both.

I also prefer Fallout to TES...which is why I'll try to avoid all future Fallout games made by Bethesda.

I've seen no evidence suggesting that Bethesda actually understands anything about the franchise - their one attempt at a Fallout game just felt like FutureTES.

Anyway, why would anyone buy this day one? It probably won't be playable until modders fix it, weeks after release.

Fair enough, can't fault you there.

More of a TES kinda guy. I'd be excited if Obsidian was making it.

Agreed.

What Bethesda with F3 was a travesty!!!! Fallout 1/2 were hard. Damn hard!!!! You didn't get perks every level. You didn't get this bullshit when confronted with an insurmountable wall:

[Strength 8] Break thru the wall

[Perception 7] Look for a way around the wall

[Charisma 7] Charm the wall

[Intelligence 6] Rig a pulley system to get yourself over a wall

[Agility 7] Dance over the wall

[Luck 8] Hope something really bad happens to the wall

[Explosives 50] Blow up the wall

When all that fails you can still stack crates to get over the wall!!!!!

The reason a lot of people view F3 with more fondness than FNV are mainly nostalgia and the "newness" of the experience. We never got to walk around a fully 3D wasteland before. By the time Obsidian's followup FNV it was old hat. Especially because it used the exact same engine, and it was given half the development time of F3 so it was buggy as hell and certain areas and factions (the Strip, Caesar's Legion, etc.) didn't receive the attention they deserved. The Strip was supposed to be a lot bigger, and Caesar's Legion receive MUCH more quests (and probably a NPC or two). Even with all that it still turned out to be a real gem and IMHO the best RPG of last gen.

That said I will still buy F4. If anything in the vain hopes that Bethesda learned a lesson, which is highly doubtful, but in hopes that Obsidian will be tapped to make the next one.

Van Burren or gtfo.

Just started fallout 3 again with some great mods.

I look forward to 4. Doubt i'll buy at release though, i'll probably wait for the inevitable issues to get fixed first, either by Bethesda or the community.

Wasteland 2 will be a proper alternative.

Its pretty much been debunked as a hoax, especially considering the domain is in Poland.

Should be cool. Anyone wanna guess on where the setting will be?

"Domain name resolves to 5.133.13.121 which has a reverse lookup of d13121.vibiznes.pl and that's some hosting company in Poland.

Does Bethesda use random Polish hosting companies? See: http://vibiznes.pl/

Edit: The source of the hoax being in Poland would explain the D/M/Y formatting of the morse code. Whoever rigged this thing up probably didn't even think to convert to M/D/Y which is the style of date an American person/company would use."

Sigh.

Awesome, always up for more Fallout!

There's some special charm in modding the crap out of broken Bethesda games, hoping to make them playable! :P

I hope is not bethesda who makes it, don't want them to waste their time working on that crappy series instead of making the elder scroll 6

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="fallout.css">

Also from the source code... completely confirmed boys... get hyped!

Keep Bugsidian away from my fallout!

Do want

That was an attempt at humour, I hope?

I mean, say what you want about Obsidian, but they have released a few games that have been stable straight out of the box. I don't think you could say the same for Bethesda.

Will Bathesda be releasing the beta version for full price as usual?

3 years beta testing minimum or bust.

I don't think I can get hyped for a Bethesda game again after being disappointed twice in a row.

rather is obsidian or bethesda making the game, I can't wait. Love me some fallout. Just ditch gamebryo and use id engine please.

New Vegas was not one of them. That game was completely broken at launch and it was an incredibly boring setting

A definite day 1 for me. I would wait for some bug ironing but I wont be able to resist.

It was still better than Fallout 3 in every way that matters.

Will it be turn based?

I hope it's closer to New Vegas than Fallout 3.

New Vegas felt more like a sequel to Fallout 2 than Fallout 3 did.

They were the only ones who attempted to recreate a modern Fallout game. FO3 was a fucking joke
