Would be amazing. Surely some sort of transport would be needed then if it's that big? Fingers crossed for a vertibird!

Even a clunky ould motorbike would be sweet - there was enough parts lying around in FO3. Wouldn't have to move too quickly even, just quicker than walking.

After having played Fallout 3 to death (including all the DLCs), I am about to start New Vegas. I started New Vegas years ago, but due to other commitments I stopped playing and didn't return to it. I have just made a new character and so the journey begins! All the DLC for New Vegas is installed as well!

Looking forward to this!

I really hope its one big self contained map. Witcher 3 and Dragon Age Inquisition were huge, but the way they were set out in boxes was a bit immersion breaking for me.

I don't mind a few separate maps (like Witcher 3), as long as there's no loading when entering a building.

Seperate maps in a Fallout would be horrible imo, one of the most immersive things about the Wasteland was spotting landmarks in the distance, same for Skyrim...

The seperate maps works really well in Witcher 3. Still feels like an absolutely huge world that I would take any day over loading to enter buildings.

When was the last time we saw an announcement and release within 5 months of each other?

Not all games are delayed like Witcher 3 (2 years) or Duke Nukem Forever (15 years). Last year's E3 alone had Far Cry 4, all the annual EA games and COD, Little Big Planet 3, Assassins Creed Unity/ Halo: MCC (those last two are debatable) being announced and released within 5 months. Developers are getting a better grip on the new consoles I suppose. Last year, EA admitted they were so early into developing they could only show concept previews for games coming later this year.

Well far cry 4 is just far cry 3 with a different bad guy (good game mind). Hopefully FO4 is a bit more of an upgrade than that.

I hope it comes out as soon as possible, I just think they'll let the hype build a bit longer than 5 months for such a big game.

The Fallout games were never about the graphics anyway right from it's very roots, it was all about gameplay, features and detail.

Bull****.

The amount of people that mention exiting the vault for the first time in fallout 3 as one of the most breathe taking moments in gaming. That game looked good for its time.

Il be surprised if this gets released this year. At the earliest I would be thinking this time next year, even later.

The one thing I hope they fix is the leveling.The Level/Loot scaling thing that Bethesda do in all their games completely ruins the experience for me. I much rather areas that have high level mobs that you know you should avoid but you could sneak it if you wanted.

In Fallout 3 it was ridiculous the way Super Mutants, Deathclaws etc were everywhere by the time you reached a certain level.

Even in Skyrim they had it to a certain extent. As for Oblivion, it ruined the game. Loot a rare chest and all of a sudden every bandit was wearing rare glass armor.

I think all signs point to this year. With beth hosting their first ever e3 conference, but already spilling the beans on F4 before it, instead of keeping it for a late surprise at the show. I bet the surprise they're keeping for the show is a 2015 release date.

Todd said last year how they dont want to trickle info out, but wait till its ready, and BAM!

Edit,
Pre-order is up on steam "Coming soon"

Exactly. Picking a spot in the distance and just walking was one of Fallout's greatest pleasures. Unbroken discovery and exploration.

Oh man. Nostalgia buzz It was a brilliantly done moment. I kind of want to reinstall it now just play up to that part.

Very Interesting read. Apparently she was fired for accidentally leaking FO4 info and Kotaku picked it up. She said she saw a roadmap for release.

I'd be very sceptical of anything you read on kotaku lads. Ultimate clickbait site

In fairness to Kotaku they say they have had nothing to do with her ever and claim her story doesn't really check out.

Separate areas would ruin some of the immersion for me. I found having to enter different maps in Dragon Age a little jarring and I'd argue that the start of Fallout 3 was breathtaking not just because of the graphics but also because of the feeling there was suddenly a giant cohesive world for you to explore in any direction you wanted. I'm happy to sacrifice some graphical might if it helps Bethesda to achieve this cohesion again.

That was just icing on the cake considering that fact that Fallout 3 was the first game in first person and 3D.

Fallout 2 was the start of greatness.

I'll be shocked if it's not out this year, given that it's already available for pre-order in several reputable online stores.

Steam are offering every game in Fallout (including the originals) for 40% off each. Fallout 3: GOTY Edition is €12. That's a bargain.

I've had Mirror's Edge 2 pre-ordered on Amazon since since E3 2013.

Still, it does look like this will be out this year pending any last minute delays to polish it some more.

I bought it for €5 a few years ago and it's been as low as €2.50 and with the steam sale coming up in a few weeks you might as well wait

The dog was the worst thing in that trailer. The coat on it was really, really ****.

What OS you running? I had issues until I tweaked Fallout 3 on win 7 64x

So excited for this, looks like a great game.
Am I the only one who replayed the trailer 10+ times?

madcabbage

If the rumours are true about a release later this year, I'd be impressed. How the hell did they manage to keep it under wraps for this long!

I had that problem too when i played it a few months back. When it was first released my disc copy crashed a lot as well. Think i had to download and install an Unoffical patch which stopped it crashing so often.
