Just let it run well and I'm a happy wanderer or courier or whatever it's called this time.

Before you all say: "TROLL!" "LIAR!", etc, you can all can your mouths and ask one of the Bethesda Employees about Me (my username is my name) and they will confirm I worked for Bethesda. I am strictly posting this in "Revenge" for them firing me.
Anyways, I worked at Bethesda Game Studios in Maryland up until last month before I was fired for releasing confidential information (but it was an accident!) and so here I am, sitting unemployed with my 2 kids thanks to those fools. So, I wanted to say: I worked on, and played, Fallout 4. Yes, I did.
I want to confirm that the recent leaks about Fallout 4 are true. In Fallout 4, you are in Boston, and it takes place in the year 2287, exactly 10 years after Fallout 3. In Fallout 4, mixing things up, we are making the game more "Story Based" and the player character will finally talk, and narrate his storyline.
At the beginning of the game, you create your character (You can only be a male in the main story), and afterward, you start the game with a blast. After the blast, you awake to see the building you are standing inside blown apart and your wife, Lydia, dead. Robots and Androids are storming the place, killing and kidnapping the people inside. You, known as "The Officer", must escape and get revenge.
LOCATION: Fallout 4 is set in and around Boston and the surrounding countryside.
The downtown area is entirely controlled by "The Institute", a group of techies and scholars, as well as researchers, who devote their lives to technology. The countryside area is a "Wasteland" with small towns and settlements, as well as vaults here and there. Logan International Airport is taken over by the Brotherhood of steel, who are there trying to control the technology, and are currently waging a war against the institute, as they both have disagreements as to who should be in control of the technology in the area.
Meanwhile, Vault 79, located outside of Boston, is under the control by "The Railroad", a group of people dedicated to helping Androids escape the institute.
The map of Fallout 4 is about 3 times the size of Skyrim. The reason for this is to make a much more realistic and interactive world, that players can always find new things, even if they have played it for years after release.
FACTIONS:
The Railroad returns from Fallout 3, where you only had a small glimpse of it during the "Replicated man" quest. In this game, they are a full faction and are much larger.
The Brotherhood Of Steel returns and control Logan Airport. This BOS is not the same as seen in Fallout 3. Instead, a similar BOS to the ones seen in the classic Fallout games as well as Fallout New Vegas make an appearance, only caring about technology, and will obtain it by force if they have to.
The Institute returns from Fallout 3, and is headed by a man named Thomas Littleton. They are the primary antagonists of the game, and control most of Boston Downtown. Their patrols in Downtown Boston are the counterpart in this game to the Super Mutants in Downtown DC in Fallout 3.
Talon Company also returns, but in a much smaller force. They base operations outside of a bunker located in Downtown Boston.
Raiders return too.
CREATURES:
Super Mutants return, in the same form as the ones from Fallout 3, keeping in line with the "East Coast" mutants.
Feral Ghouls return as well.
Vicious Dogs return.
Feral Cats are new, and exclusively located in one of the vaults.
Spore Carriers return from Fallout New Vegas, and are located in sewers.
RETURNING CHARACTERS:
Madison Li returns from Fallout 3. 10 years prior to Fallout 4, she left D.C after the Loss of James and having thought she lost the lone wanderer as well. Having had enough, she left to Boston, as it is home to one of the biggest Scientific facilities. Madison will once again be voiced by Jennifer Massey.
Three Dog returns as well, although he is only heard on the radio, and not seen in person. People believe the radio is not actually live, and that it is simply a looped recording. (Based on the fact that you CAN kill him in Fallout 3.) He is voiced by Erik Todd Dellums.
Bryan Wilks returns from Fallout 3. Yes, the little boy you saved from Grayditch. He is now 19 years old and is a mercenary, working with Talon Company. He bases his reason as to working with them on "Once someone saved me, and I wanted to be just like them!" He is voiced by Jerry Jewell.
Other Fallout 3 characters return as well, but only through save transfer (Detailed below).
PLATFORMS:
Fallout 4 will be available for a wide range of platforms after launch. The first version that will be released is being developed for Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC. This version uses a brand new engine built from the ground up to take advantage of the power of next gen systems. Absolutely everything is new, and no assets or scrips are being used from Fallout 3/NV or Skyrim.
Fallout 4 will also be available on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. This version is also being developed by Bethesda Game Studios, but will release a year after the advanced version. This version runs on the Creation Engine, the same engine that powered Skyrim. This is being done so that PS3/360 users can play the game without problem. Everything will be the same in this version as the advanced version, except for the graphics, gameplay and some additional features.
Also, Fallout 4 on PS3 and Xbox 360, last I knew, was around 20GB+. This means that it will most definitely require install. Also, players of the PS3/360 version will be pleased to know that Fallout 4 will be able to import your Fallout 3 save, and adapt choices you made from that game for Fallout 4. This means that some additional characters could pop up, depending on if you killed them or not in Fallout 3. Also, some story references from Fallout 3 will be mentioned. Did the BOS save the capitol wasteland? Or did it fall? Did Sarah turn on the purifier and die? Or did the lone wanderer do it? It might get mentioned depending on your choices!
DEVELOPERS: Fallout 4 is being developed by Bethesda Game Studios, the same developer behind Fallout 3.
GAMEPLAY:
Fallout 4 plays similar to Fallout 3 and New Vegas. You can play in Third Person or First Person, or on the PC version, a new "Classic Mode" that will put the game into birds eye view and play similar to the classic Fallout Games. (Although by my experience, it actually looked and played more like the PS2/Xbox Fallout: Brotherhood of steel.)
Unlike Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, you can only play as a man. This is due to the storyline requiring it. However, after the main story is over, you can have a gender change. BGS did not rule out Females for possible standalone DLC, however.
Additionally, full support for Trophies/Achievements are present on all console versions, and full steamworks support is present for the PC version.
PROGRESS: By my estimate, Fallout 4's PS4/XboxOne/PC version is about 40% complete, while the PS3/Xbox360 version is about 15% complete. Both versions are being developed by BGS.
RELEASE DATE: BGS has a "Roadmap" already planned out for Fallout 4 and a spinoff. I already was informed about it from the studio when I worked there, and I read it. Basically, the roadmap is this:
June 2015 - Fallout 4 reveal at E3, trailer only
July 2015 - First gameplay trailers
August 2015 - More information
October 2015 - PS4/Xbox One/PC release
November 2015 - First DLC
December 2015 - Second DLC, as well as PS3/360 version release
January 2016 - Third DLC
March 2016 - Forth DLC
April 2016 - Fifth and Final DLC
June 2016 - Fallout Spinoff revealed, in development by Behaviour Interactive.
October 2016 - Fallout Spinoff released for PS4/Xbox One/PC
Leaks from a former Bethesda employee a while back.. looks to be legit. Has the release date to be November 2015! Not actually story spoilers, but still.

If that leak is true (and it's a lot of work someone put in for a hoax, but not uncommon regarding FO4), then it's a little disappointing.

I really didn't want an upgraded version of FO3, but a mostly new game with new characters/stories. There's only so many times I want to re-listen to The Brotherhood of Steel's motives, or Talon Company's, etc. Plus, Madison Li was a super annoying character—hate she's coming back too. And recycling FO3 enemies is also disappointing.

I mentioned this earlier in the thread, but a feature I really wanted to see was a full-blown engineering and technology mode, where there's a strong motivation to collect knowledge from around Boston (IE: schematics), and use that data to craft items using machine tools (minigames). This would've been more tied into a "technology race" story, which would've worked perfectly with the Institute/MIT-based setting. That's not to assume that they won't have something like this, but a major feature like that probably would've been covered in the leak (he said it was 40% done by the time he wrote that).

Anxiously waiting for Bethesda's E3 date. I'm really hoping they have some things lined up to blow our minds beyond what the trailer showed.
 
Omg youre being such a drama queen. It's vastly better than fallout 3. Sure the Witcher looked better. The whitcher also doesn't have physics or stealth. But I guess gameplay isn't as important as hair that flows in the wind.

Remember Skyrim on release for PC? Looked about the same as the ps3 and 360 versions. You will have to wait for mods......months later.

The leak basically says the BOS and the Institute are at war for technology.

nah, it's going to be great, it doesn't need mind blowing graphics.

True, but I'm just wanting more than "fetching items for your chosen tribe" quests. I hope there are interactive game modes that compliment the story, rather than simply going point A to point B, absorbing dialog/items/defeating enemies, and relaying it back to point A.

But really excited anyway. If the trailer is anything to go by, it seems that there will be more exposure on the "pre-war" world, which opens up a lot of possibilities.
 
It's gonna be tough going directly from the Witcher to Fallout 4. Lol
 
Look how lazy Bethesda is. The child in the crib is purposely made ambiguous on ethnicity. Bethesda can't be bothered to make atleast three different childs for different ethnicity, bare minimum. They choose ambiguous instead. Obviously the wife banged the milk man again, like with the E3 video. Lmao

Default date for any new game that is officially announced but has no official release date...don't assume it's this year by that...

Not only that but on Fallout site its listed as TBD 2015. FO3 and NV were both shown heavily at E3 then released in Oct that same year.
 
Shit. Looks like I will be getting a Next-gen console. This will be bad for my Destiny addiction for sure.
 
Didn't like the trailer too much. Should have been more subtle IMHO. And voiced protagonist doesn't feel right.. Oh, well.

Still really foooking pumped for this. Fallout was actually the first game I ever bought back in the 90's.

How do you know this?
 
I don't remember, but wasn't vault 111 mentioned in one of those vault info guides you found spread out in the different vaults?

If anyone in here is new to the Fallout series, don't listen to people telling you only to play New Vegas. New Vegas is good, but the feeling of Fallout 3 can't be replaced.

Fallout 3 is such an experience. 7 years have went by and I still think about it. New Vegas doesn't have the same sense of immersion and impersonality.

This conversation just keeps on going on..

Maybe it's because you played Fallout 3 first? I really loved Fallout 3, but mostly because it brought the franchise back to life. It was 10 long years since Fallout 2.

New Vegas was much more similar to original Fallout's and that's why it's treasured among old school fans. It just wasn't as mind blowing as Fallout 3 because the game mechanics were so familiar to everyone.

Hoooowleeee fuck how did I just see this in a yahoo article now.

Can someone please freeze me and then melt me when this is dropped, like cartman.

I'm excited as hell.

Yea you can criticize it. You just used graphics as a reason why iy wouldn't be great. I can say that's a terrible argument. Especially since the graphics are a major improvement over fallout 3 and from what we've seen has great lighting and better physics than other games. The game looks graphically massively improved over fallout 3. Lighting being a huge difference.

FONV played better and had many upgrades over 3 but the story and immersive experience in FO3 was much better imo.

In all the FONV vs FO3 threads I've seen I think my opinion was the most popular even if they gave the edge to NV.
 
I don't usually trade in great games but Bloodborne and Witcher are going towards this. I won't be playing anything else but Fallout so fuck it.

By the time I'm finished they'll have the GOTY/Definitive editions released with the DLC anyway.

But I've spent most of my gaming time playing Dying Light, The Witcher III, GTA V and Arkham Knight. so I'm getting some open world fatigue. i trust in Bethesda's worlds and immersion though.

Fallout 3's story and tone are better for me than New Vegas.

Fallout 3 feels like I'm in the wasteland, like playing through an amazing book. New Vegas feels more like a generic video game to me.

I really like New Vegas too. It just doesn't elicit the same emotions as 3 for me.
 
Those graphics don't look bad to me. Besides, I'll gladly take the tradeoff if it means no more crashes and laggy gameplay. It's easy to get immersed in really good gameplay.

I'm sure it will look great. Will it look as good as the best looking next gen games? Probably not. But it will more than make up for it in other ways.

Personally, I had gone away from gaming for a few years, and then came back to play FO3 first, and it was a mind-blowing experience just the level of immersion from that game.

Between first-person, the horror movie feel of a lot of areas (especially the subway), and the deep, well-planned goal of purifying the irradiated water of the Wasteland
