TechRaptor - Ever since the website went live, Fallout fans worldwide have been sitting on the website for god knows how long translating morse code, reporting HTML tweaks, sifting through various behind the scenes changes, and of course mashing the living day lights out of their F5 keys. Not only has the new website ruined some perfectly good keyboards, but it has also acted as a fine layer of plasma slime that has brought some key FO communities together. The Bethesda forums experienced a huge posting surge, the official Fallout subreddit has become a huge hub of information, even the more mainstream gaming communites are into it. Recently however, we hit an official milestone in the buzz surrounding the website.
The release of Fallout London, a massive mod for Fallout 4, is just a couple of months away, and today plenty of its content was revealed.
A team of modders is currently working on a Fallout 2 Remake in Fallout 4's Creation Engine, and here is a gameplay trailer for it.
It's funny, I can't believe they've never officially done a remake of the first two Fallout games in the style of the Bethesda ones.
The Fallout London total conversion mod will be the icing on the cake for Fallout 4, learning some lessons from the base game
After London they should create their own version of a fallout game and release it so ps5 players aren't left out, since Sony clearly doesn't care if ps5 have any wrpgs. Sony never did anything after ms bought up the western rpg market.
It looks super good but the sad thing is this kind of squashes any small chance we had of Bethesda or Obsidian doing a London based game now.
The Location sounds interesting, but it does not belong in Fallout Lore. It's not about the UK and never was. Thanks, Me-too fan-hard-modders, but no thanks.
Personally I think this is a hoax more and more as time goes by. Honestly from a marketing standpoint it doesnt make sense because only a small group of people on the internet know or even care about the website vs the world. On top of that even fewer people know morse code and can decipher these messages. Its really a missed opportunity to hit the masses and that is why I think its a hoax.+
My biggest problem with the site is that after it got some attention it went on to then put up ANOTHER countdown (which ended today) that didn't explain anything. It was literally a countdown within a countdown that lead to a puzzle that was deciphered only to reveal another very cryptic message. If this were an actual ARG it could be done far more elegantly than it is.

I mean, it said the Domain is registered/owned by Zenimax of Rockville, Maryland, their headqarters...so it seems legit. That's what I'm hoping!!
If it is a hoax, why doesn't just Bethesda just come out and say it has nothing to do with Fallout? or it isn't from them?
I just love watching different sites reaction to this site, ranging from "it's happening" to "not happening, damn polack"
It's entirely fascinating watching this.
