AHHH I just saw the trailer. I can't wait for this piece of jewelry to arrive!!!! Anyone else feeling the same excitement :D (I'm like a kid waiting for santa right now) hehe
www.fallout4.com
It is a beautiful trailer.
I've only ever played a small part of Fallout 1 in my life, found it too hard and have admired the series from a distance ever since.
You should definitely play fallout 3 (one of my alltime favourite games I must say) :)
Stupot, Fallout 3 is a whole new direction for the series. Fallout Tactics is worth checking out if you like strategy.
Awesome trailer, nice to see a bit of colour. Fallout 3 had so many shades of brown and grey, but then again it is the apocalypse!
Now a days I tend to wait until a game is half off to buy, but with this series I'm willing to make an exception.
And looks like you'll have a cute dog companion again!! (Or play as him? :D)
I'm excited for this being a huge fallout fan; staying loyal even after the series went first-person.
Anyone who wants to revisit Fallout 2 should check out Killap's Mod.
Thank the 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating for Mad Max Fury Road for the Fallout 4 greenlight. Nothing like a little market priming to get your show on the road. Speaking of which, I better get Neofeud revved up and rolling now if I want to ride this wasteland train....
Fallout is a lot of things, but it is definitely an interactive gamified Mad Max, to the point you can actually have Mel Gibson's asymetrical biker jacket, and his Australian sheep dog following you around.
OMG what a sweet trailer. Looks awesome and is even a bit sad and a bit shocking in parts. Very cool stuff!
Why can't they make a CAT companion?... (my only complaint, otherwise, I was among those looking at the clock counting down at Bethesda's website :P)

Have you ever seen a cat rip out a man's throat?
I don't like the colors they're going with, reminds me too much of STALKER and TF2. And the graphics are exactly the quality of FO3, very disappointing. Was hoping they would drop Gamebryo after Skyrim, but NOPE. Maybe they can at least write some proper player physics and AI movement with IK. And maybe give the weapons some weight.
Haha, I was hoping the AGS forum would be the one place where no one complains about the quality of the graphics...
And haven't the weapons always had weight? Even the ammo did in New Vegas HC mode..

They've already worked on Fallout 4 for years, so I'm not sure how much Fury Road had to do with it :cheesy: Fallout 4 was already in development before Skyrim was finished, a small team on it, and when Skyrim was finishing production the rest of that team moved over to Fallout 4.

Fallout 3 didn't even have any dynamic lighting, which Fallout 4 has, so just that is a
huge upgrade in graphics. Pretty sure that's not Gamebryo.
I can't wait for Fallout 4 but after this trailer my hype went down. I don't know. It was just kinda "meh" for me. Don't get me wrong - I love the series (finished Fallout 3 and New Vegas, didn't play the originals isometric ones) I'm sure the game will be awesome and I will play it extensively but the trailer just didn't clicked for me.
Over the No Mutants Allowed forums there is a thread where folks have meticulously broken down the trailer for both location and character speculation.
It does look like a pumped up version of Fallout 3's engine. Awesome graphics would be good, though I'm mainly hoping for interesting stories and characters along with solid AI.
I hope that dog in the trailer is not the Pariah dog (http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/A_lone_surviving_dog) from Fallout 2. If so, then that guy will not have a nice time in the wasteland!
Jokes aside, I like the trailer. It seems a lot of people don't like it, but I love it. And I can't wait to play this game. And as long as Fallout games are being made and are single player RPGs as they have been so far I don't need anything else in my miserable life.
You gotta love the smell of a nuclear apocalypse.

I guess I fall (out) into the "meh" camp. I enjoyed Fallout 3, didn't get on with new vegas. Fallout 4 just feels like I'll be playing the same game again but with prettier graphics. Just like Assassin's Creed I suppose - I haven't bothered playing the last 3-4 in the series.
I'm sad to say I didn't even finish Fallout NV. I've played all the others through multiple times, though. Not sure what it was... Perhaps I'm just becoming old or archaic or over-apocalypsed or full-time jobbed, but I felt like I'd played through the same wasteland locales and character types and dramatic beats. I'll need to give this thing at least a try, though.
I didn't finish it either! I ended up making an enemy of the biggest town and had to destroy all the robots.. and then I didn't really have much else to do and couldn't be bothered anymore. Yet some critics said this game was better, didn't they?
I don't know why people say Fallout NV is better. I prefer Fallout 3 as well. Fallout NV might have been a truer roleplaying experience with more choice, but Fallout 3 was more engaging. I think there's pressure to like Fallout NV because Obsidian made it and it *should* be the authentic Fallout experience. FWIW, I loved Fallout 1 & 2 as well.
Choice is good, but if it becomes too "Write your own novel!" It can have this weird effect of giving the characters and events less weight. I think this is what I kind of disliked about NV; there was a lot of time just diddling around doing random little things for my taste. Like, "Do this little quest," then, "Do THAT little quest," and "Do this quest too, if you like, but you don't have to. Whatever."
This is what I liked about Deus Ex, in that there are a million ways to approach an objective, but the goals remain somewhat constant, coherent, tightly-written, and each sequence of events is pivotal as part of a larger dramatic arc?

Wouldn't that make cats perfect companions in games which are all about killing enemies? ;)
But on topic, I'd like to point out that after Witcher 3 the bar has been raised drastically for all future RPG games. Can they make quests as engaging as those in Witcher or will we get another bunch of fetch quests and standard "fast travel- kill someone - fast travel - receive reward" bullshit? Because as much as I love Fallout, I don't think I can put up with that anymore. I want something... more interesting. I noticed that at the end of the trailer the protagonist speaks to his dog. Could this be a clue that this is the end of silent protagonists in Bethesda's games?
I never thought of any of the quests in Fallout 3 as fetch quests or kill 10 rats or whatever. There was always a story and reason behind everything. Remember being the mediator between The Mechanist and The AntAgonizer? Or finding the Republic of Dave and dealing with that situation. Going to that burnt out town occupied by a sniper priest who laid mines everywhere and shot at the cars you hid behind and they exploded. Sneaking into the Super-Duper Mart and getting the drop on the Raiders. So many cool and compelling stories like those in the world. That's mostly why I didn't like NV, it was just boring standard RPG quests, there was only one morally grey choice in the entire game too whereas FO3 had them in every quest. Also not to mention the level design in NV is garbage compared to the mastery of FO3. But whatever I need to play The Witcher 3 I hope it's good but I hate fantasy a lot and couldn't get 15 minutes into the first two games before turning them off and uninstalling.
Yeah... I used to think the quests were fine in Fallout.
Then I played Witcher 3.
Never before felt like I really wanted to talk to everyone about everything, because it is just such pleasure to listen them talk, with all the twists and turns and amazing personalities. I don't really remember much of scripted stuff from Fallout 3 but what stands out in my memories is those moments I crafted myself through the freedom any Fallout/Elders Scrolls game gives to the player, and that is undeniably its greatest quality. Basically, just doing all sorts of stupid shit and watching the world react to it (like the time I'd slaughtered all population of Megaton by hand just to see what their sheriff was hiding in his pockets...);)
PS. It wasn't worth it.
Pre-ordered it for PS4!
I'm also getting The Witcher 3 for Father's day, I hear nothing but good things.
You guys like to play as good or evil? I always like to be the asshole when games let me.

There were times when I played only as very good and nice person, but then I got a) bored b) annoyed that people rarely actually provided much help :)
Also some of the gameplay mechanics in Bethesda games (in particular) were making me mad, so I started to roleplay a psychopatic vagrant, who can talk nicely to people around and then start rampage all of a sudden. :tongue: I played both Skyrim and Fallout 3 NV this way.
Yeah, I love being a dick in games. In Deus Ex 1 everytime I came across an NPC, it was time to throw a piece of furniture at them to provoke a response, teehee!! Deus Ex Human Revolution didn't let me do this. I was sad about that.
Gothic 4 had a quest where an NPC asks you to fetch some mushrooms. The protagonist moaned about doing such a menial task - but then had me go and do it anyway, if I recall right.
Iron sights in Fallout NV is such a little touch that makes the gameplay so much more immersive than Fallout 3.
Allright people we're getting close now to release. I am really excited about this game. I think it will be bethesda's finest so far. A lot of people have said "it looks terrible" etc. I don't agree even if it might not be the best looking game ever. Anyone else getting this on day 1? :-D
I don't care if it looks "terrible". The graphics look fine to me. In fact, I'm kind of hoping it scales down more than the minimum requirements suggest. My current machine is a Core 2 Duo E6600 (Conroe) with 8GB of RAM and a GeForce 560 Ti. So I'm going to be crying and/or fiddling with .ini files until it works.
I could easily run it on my rig but i prefer console when i play games so i'm getting it for xbox1. Damn i can't wait!!!! :-D
Me too! The more we post about it, the sooner it will be released! At least, that's how I hope it works :D
Also, I'm picking this up on day 1 (preloaded).
Hey, did anyone else actually prefer VATS when it was untimed? Main reason why I played Fallout 3 (coming from Fallout 1 & 2) was that even though it was shooty (and I can't play shooters for beans), it had VATS, so I could just go into VATS mode most of the time and play it strategically. Now it feels like I'm going to be forced to think quick. I don't like thinking quick!
I've got Fallout 4 preloaded and I'm pumped! Fallout 2 was my favorite by a mile, but I've enjoyed the new breed (FO3 and FO:NV) as well.
On VATS...I kinds of like it to be timed, as it feels weird to have unlimited time in the midst of a gunfight to decide which body part to shoot.
Well i seem to be one of the few here that didnt like the Trailer. For several reasons, but especially because i dont see where this BladRunner like Story they seem to have going on there makes sense for or in the fallout universe. Then it Looks too much like a cutscene fest, which is a Problem because in my opinion Bethesda just cant make good main Story arcs. Fallout 1 and 2 were great, and kinda made sense. Fallout 3 was fun... until i finished it. Worst and most stupid ending next to Alien Isolation. Fallout NV i never finished, because!!! i couldnt decide whom to trust and whom to help, after 50+ hours. In F3 there were no descisions whatsoever that i can remember.
Morrowind, i liked a lot, but the main quest was pure torture. Oblivion was a physics and graphics wise improved joke in comparison, and i quitted skyrim after 12 hours due to boredom.
Maybe ist just me, but im kinda tired of Bethesdas quest etc. design. And from the Trailer it Looks like an Action shooter with cutscenes. So lets just hope im wrong ;)

I actually get bored faster in the elder scrolls games even though I enjoy them alot too. Fallout 3 and NV never bored me when I played them the first time. The worst kind is those damn fetch quests...It's so uninspiring and lazy. A few of them is ok but not when they're all "Oh boohoo I lost my ring somewhere,please find it" BAH!!! :D
I rather recently bought Arkham knight, so I'm not going to buy this game at launch, but as all Bethesda titles, the game looks awesome. Plus it's good to give modders and Beth some time (a month or so) to patch things up.

Well this might work really good also, besides it's still slow movement so it probably won't be a shock...in Todd we trust.
I always preferred VATS in F3 and Vegas, because IMO it actually connected to the weapon aim precision - when you play other FPS-s if you aim a gun correctly, you'll hit your target, while in Fallout you may aim like a pro but you are still "fighting" the numbers in the game mechanics and suddenly it seems unfair. Most of my fights in Fallout games, end up using up VATS, then frantically shooting in panic because I know that even if I aim straight at enemy at a 5m distance, I still might not actually hit it.
This all also somewhat connects to my preference of the 3rd person camera, the bloody radar always indicates enemies, so I'm nervous if I don't actually see them.
Waiting in anticipation. While I couldn't really get into 1 & 2 at all, I loved both Fallout 3 and NV, replayed them both multiple times. The addition of a survival mode in NV alone makes a replay well worth it, and I do hope that the survival mode in this one exists and has been fleshed out even further. The town building in F4 will also keep me coming back, I suspect.
The writing on these games for me has been second to none, supplying a fully fleshed-out universe of characters with their own stories.
Having said that I would have preferred that this one be set 10 years or so after the events of new vegas, so that we're not in essentially the same environment again. I'm also bummed that there are no vehicles this time either (VTOL pick-up doesn't count). The graphics on the new fallouts have never been bleeding edge, but having seen the trailer I was glad to notice that the poly counts have increased along with the texture res. The environment is still too bland and arid, but I'll fix that with a mod.

or just skip to 26:22 if you want to see the trailer they should have released.
"It's good to be back."
With all mods that will flood (now for console as well :-D) i am sure there will be vehicles eventually :-)
Already ordered! I intend to plat this game. 8-)
I am preloading now as i write...ahhh tomorrow at midnight....drooling :-D
I've got it pre-ordered. Secretly hoping it will arrive tomorrow... (Metal Gear Solid 5 came a day before release!)
The Steam release date is the 9th, and it's 40 minutes to midnight here. Bought and pre-loaded, now I really hope they don't use Bethesda time...
see you guys in a few weeks :-D
"see you guys in a few weeks :-D" +1 :D

Damn I thought I disabled all security cams :D Haha whoa what a freak!
Please tell us if it's a good FPS.
I better wait like 6 months to let them make few patches first. :tongue:
I've just finished playing it and....hmmmm...
The story was pretty awesome but the ending kinda sucked a bit in that:
MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT:
Spoiler
You never find out what the machine was supposed to do. Was there something I missed in the blueprints? Did I build it wrong?
Also: Who was the mysterious "Gerald" character that is mentioned repeatedly but I never met? I was thinking for so long that I was supposed to meet up with him...No? Did I miss out?
Also: I loved the DOTT reference with that one particular NPC that I only talked to at random when I was stuck on the main mission. Nice Easter Egg and very hard to find I'd say...
Good playing to all: I'm going back in for a second playthrough to find the different story paths!
What, you finished it in a half day ? ? ?

45 minutes left for me before I can start...ufffff :D
I've played about three hours and it's time for my nightly nap now.
The mouse/keyboard interface is awkward so I'm playing with my gamepad, and the Pip-Boy app is pretty taxing on my phone's battery, but the game was well worth the wait and money so far.
(And stay away from the Steam discussion boards, there are already assholes who are posting actual spoilers in all caps.)

Ah snap! You got me! Oh well, at least I got someone before getting caught out :-D
The controld took a little getting used to for sure. Being used to the 360 controlls and that it wasn't the same made me make a few mistakes sometimes :D I have played a few hours and I enjoy the hell out of this one :D
Not started yet, anyone know if completing main quest locks you out of the game like fallout 3 did pre dlc?

I don't recall which review mentioned this, but I've read that you can keep going after the main quest.
Right so I'm looking for my SPOILER:
Spoiler
kid that got kidnapped in front of me while I could do nothing, which as an IRL parent was fucked up!
I'm questioning whether I'm going to play this game as an evil dude who does lots of side trips and stop offs, which was my original intention!
Edit after few hours play: I'm Mayor of my own town!! Ooh what's in that cave?!
I've played a few hours but not had a chance to get stuck in yet, all my free time is getting sunk into MAGS this month, Fallout 4 makes for a good incentive to get finished early :)
Yeah chicky hurry up so you can play. :-D oh and haven't found any bugs yet so far :-)
Psychic Grandma asked me to build her a chair, I do so and quest won't complete! She keeps asking for a chair so I build a bunch of them, no luck so far!
EDIT: Found it, it's not under furniture tab...
I've clocked in a a lot of hours so far (as many as a full time working parent of two can manage), and I'm really enjoying it. I've not completed the main story yet, I'm at a point where I have to choose between certain groups of people, so I've been holding off on that. I don't want to get locked out of certain quests and areas just yet.
I see the game as Fallout 3.5 rather than 4, that's by no means a bad thing; It just feels like a really polished version of Fallout 3.
The base building is pretty cool, though a little clunky; I often find walls not snapping into places I want and keeping track of your settlers can be quite awkward.
I gave my character one charisma because I didn't find much use for it in previous games; I regret this now, as there's been quite a few situations where high charisma would have helped. Actually there's a couple of quests I can't complete until I get my charisma up.
Overall I'm having a good time, the amount of stuff to do in this game is insane!
I think I'm at ~25 hours, nowhere near having seen a significant amount of the content, of course. I found the story missions quite addictive. Doing side missions now to avoid finishing the story too fast.
I have 6 charisma plus two from elegant suit and one from fancy wig which I try to wear everytime there's important connversation. So I guess that's 9 in total. Effect are sometimes very funny :)

My all time favourite would be the Pulowski Preservation shelters, which allow you to wait out the nuclear devastation in an unshielded fallout shelter the size of a phone booth.
"Nuclear protection on a budget!"
I remember how anxiously and eagerly we waited for the release of the Fallout ..)
Didn`t even expected that there will be n ew features like..)
Pip-boys, the ability to make buildings like the customizable environment, 50 types of weapons and even the Android game on Android..) I`d like to ask you did the Fallout 4 meet your expectations?
After investing dozens of hours I've finished Fallout 4 (and got Platinum trophy). I enjoyed the game but it certainly isn't game of the year material. Pros: fun combat and story. Cons: glitches, mediocre graphics, clunky settlement building. Overall it feels like developers played it safe and made (just like Retro Wolf said) Fallout 3.5. The game certainly did not meet my expectations in terms of visuals. I played on PS4 but I've seen the game on ultra PC settings and it doesn't look that much better to be honest.
I must say now that i am playing the last quests... i am a little disappointed. I am getting bored like hell with it. The problem with bethesda games to me is that you can become strong quite early in their games. Most of the quests felt boring and lacked depth imo. All new locations have the same loot (that damn duct tape in a novice locked toolbox) eventually upon finding a new location,like a factory i just thought "ahhhh not another god damn factory with boring stuff inside" and for a game of that size i think there should be more enemies...but blasting something to pieces while hearing bing crosby happily sing "lay that pistol down" is awesome!!!! Best fallout song ever :-D
I haven't played it in a while, not completed it yet. Too many games in my backlog and not enough time!
I completed it some time ago, then spent a lot of time running around the wasteland with god mode on, using the jetpack to get to tall buildings, then swooping down on raiders like I'm batman.
Haven't played in a while now. I might do a survival mode restart.
