I hope this ends up being a next gen only game.

I REALLY hope that.

The Fallout games were held back so much by last gen tech.

That doesn't need to happen here.

Get it done Trekkie...NOW! I just bought New Vegas with all the DLC for PC earlier in the week for $20! This will be my 6th time playing through it, first time on PC. One word...Mods!

never tried New Vegas. Always heard about it having a bunch of bugs.

So I'm wondering, if I decide to give it ago, has a lot of the stuff been fixed?

The Fallout 4 site continues to tease today with more additions following yesterday’s morse code change.

So far we’ve been throughly enjoying the mystery but it’s become a little less mysterious this evening with the addition of more teases on the site.

If you ran out mouse over the page and highlight the text you will have seen this message:

“Nuclear winter is coming. Reserve your future home today! 877-260-2299″

Right, so I think we can safely confirm another Fallout. It gets a little more intriguing, and we have not tested this ourselves, but apparently if you rang that number it starts plating the music Tranquility Lane from Fallout 3. This number is now no longer active.

This was then followed by the text:

###PERMISSION DENIED BY OVERSEER (15334) ###

Just as I was typing this up a new code has appeared on the site which reads:

ZL QRNE FVFGRE. V’Z URNQVAT GB GUR VAFGVGHGR. TBQ XABJF JUNG UNCCRARQ GB GUVF CYNPR ABJ. GUVF BYQ ONFGNEQ JVYY URYC HF. UR ZHFG URYC HF. –0321–

This can be decoded here using N setting of 13.

Which translates to:

MY DEAR SISTER. I’M HEADING TO THE INSTITUTE. GOD KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE NOW. THIS OLD BASTARD WILL HELP US. HE MUST HELP US. –0321–”

You have to admit this is a pretty fun marketing campaign that’s managed to capture the attention of the Fallout fanbase. We’ll post more up as it appears.

Thanks to site visitor Yuri and /r/Fallout for some of these tips.

Keeps getting more interesting/exciting...thanks for the update!

So, I guess Friday, November 21, 2014 is when I get a PS4. I was going to try and hold out longer.

[MerrickG]

Can't get here soon enough.


PLEASE PLEASE do NOT be Fallout online.

Still upset about that massive Fallout 4 hoax? Here's some good news for you: The next entry in Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG series is real, it's in development right now, and, as rumored, it appears to be set in Boston, according to casting documents obtained by Kotaku.23

Two weeks ago, a Kotaku reader sent me several documents from a casting call for a project code-named Institute. The casting documents, which I've been able to confirm are real, include scripts, character descriptions, and other details about the next Fallout, and although the word Fallout does not appear in these scripts, there are several references to Fallout's setting and locations. (The casting director for this project also worked on other Bethesda games, like Dishonored and Skyrim.)4

This is the first confirmation we've received that the next Fallout game is in the works—although it's been generally assumed that Bethesda Game Studios, the development studio behind Fallout 3, has been working on a new Fallout since completing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim back in 2011, Bethesda has yet to announce the new game in any form. In 2012, rumors circulated that Bethesda employees were scouting the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston for an upcoming Fallout game, but other than that, news has been thin.

Yet the next Fallout remains one of the world's most anticipated games, and a few weeks ago, when an apparent teaser website called TheSurvivor2299 popped up on Reddit, people went crazy. The site, which was crafted as if it were an alternate reality game, hinted at a Fallout 4 announcement through a trickle of hidden messages and plot details, revealed through morse code and other cyphers. The sheer level of detail made the website seem real to some observers, but Bethesda wouldn't comment one way or another.

That 'Fallout 4 Teaser Website' Was A Hoax

Looks like it's official: the Fallout 4 teaser website "TheSurvivor2299.com" was a hoax. Read…

Turned out TheSurvivor2299 was an elaborate hoax. Fortunately, the next Fallout game is real, and although we don't know what it's called, we know thanks to these documents that the game is in the works.

Although some of the details I've seen may have been written simply for the casting call, and any of the dialogue could be changed by the time the next Fallout is actually released, they're interesting to read through. Here's what could be the game's opening intro, for example:

Leaked Documents Reveal That Fallout 4 Is Real, Set In Boston56Expand

"War. War never changes," is the classic introduction used at the beginning of Fallouts 1, 2, and 3. That speech is typically narrated by actor Ron Perlman, although this page seems to suggest that the player-character will read the monologue this time around.7

Other documents describe a mission set in the Institute—Fallout's post-apocalyptic version of MIT—and references to other Fallout locations that have been mentioned but never shown in other games, like the Commonwealth, which comprises what's left of Massachusetts.

One character in the documents—who, again, may not show up in the actual game—is named Preston Garvey. One script describes a mission in which Garvey sends you to salvage a fusion core from a museum in the Commonwealth.

Leaked Documents Reveal That Fallout 4 Is Real, Set In Boston8Expand

The casting documents describe some of the other characters in the next Fallout's wasteland, like a radio DJ named Travis Miles and an engineer named Sturges who is described as "a cross between Buddy Holly and Vin Diesel." Casting calls for both the male and female versions of the player character note that the player begins the game in a cryogenic sleep chamber.

Again, it's worth noting that these details may have been invented for the casting call, and they may change during development. We also don't know whether the game will be called Fallout 4, or whether Boston will be the sole setting or just one of many.

The big takeaway here is that the next Fallout game is real. It's currently in development at Bethesda. So if you're upset about that teaser website turning out to be a hoax, at least take some comfort in this.

This is terrific news!!!

HOORAY

I so want to play this Fallout 3 is maybe my favorite game of all time, I can't wait to see what the new gen tech does for the franchise.

Hopefully not crash or freeze so much!

[SoCalTiger]

Preferably never crash/freeze at all. And also no mission bugs, either. I really can't wait for this game!!

[SoCalTiger]

I just realized this forum now has a separate PS3 and PS4 section. I wonder if this thread should get moved to the PS4 section? That organization is going to get really confusing when there are a bunch of games that are available on both platforms.

Yeah, I would personally rather this go in the PS4 section since its VERY unlikely to come to PS3 if it doesn't come out this year.

[Josh B]

Wasn't it the save system that plagued 3 and Vegas so much? I like some Fallout as much as the next, btw. So not bagging on the game.
