Fallout 4 Teaser Site Updated

Teaser site update cements idea that Fallout 4 is due to be revealed by Bethesda.

After news that Bethesda were hiring for a next-gen RPG, trademarks being filed for Fallout 4 and what is alleged to be a teaser site for Fallout 4 appearing, the prospect of an upcoming Fallout 4 reveal is looking ever more likely.

That aformentioned teaser site has now been updated to read, "Nuclear Winter is coming in...," followed by a countdown.

I'm like a fly to a light when it comes to Fallout 3

dragon823804d ago

Give me a PS4/XB1 Fallout and I will be set for months.

Evilsnuggle3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

Yes it will be on PS4 and xboned put it will not be next gen it will be on ps3 and 360 also . It will be on the skyrim engine.

Golden_Mud3805d ago

We don't know what engine it's on......

Indo3805d ago

Highly doubt it, they are going to use a newer up to date engine for nextgen then port it to PS3/360. Most likely

SilentNegotiator3804d ago (Edited 3804d ago )

It really bugs me that people really think that the engine determines if it's next-gen or not.

Wanna know a secret? Most engines are based off of constantly updated old ones. Even most of the new ones are HEAVILY based on old ones.

If it's based on the Skyrim engine, I guarantee you that it will be an updated Skyrim engine.

captainbigballs3805d ago

I guess you can also say that i'm a fly drawn to light as well with Bethesda. I'm just really curious as to the validity of this website. I took the time to do a simple right-click and inspect the website's code. Found a few cool things, but what I found the most interesting was that the developer of the website left his name in the code. I was sure that Krzysztof Furtak (@KrzysiekFurtak) is the designer of the website. Someone already asked him about this mysterious treasure and he has no clue about it.

I was gonna ramble on about how this website is fake until I noticed something. He only coded the plugin used for the countdown for this website. The search for the truth continues. If this is fake, I tip my hat for pulling my leg on this one. By the way, man, doesn't Winter Fallout seem fucking awesome?!

Bonerboy3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

I couldn't have said it better myself grumpc. Fallout 3 was and is still one of my favorite games. Here's hoping they can reinvent the same stellar experience.

Please be PS4, please be PS4...

raWfodog3805d ago

I'm pretty sure that there will be a PS4 and Xbox One version. Or do you mean that you wish it to be next-gen and PC exclusive?

Ezz20133805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

they would be fools not to bring it on the most wanted next gen console (Ps4)

Skate-AK3805d ago

It will be. After the nightmare Skyrim was on PS3.

Sodeadly1233805d ago

Maybe its gonna be in a colder region. I think it'd be awsome if it was in chicago during winter. Isn't Chicago the brotherhood of steel's last big stronghold in america.

GarrusVakarian3805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

"Nuclear Winter" refers to the ash that falls after an atomic explosion that makes the landscape look like its coated in snow, but yeah i do agree with you, snowy areas would be awesome.

dumahim3805d ago

No, it isn't just about looking like winter. Nuclear winter is the expected temp drop due to smoke and ash blocking the sun. Depending on how bad it is, even during the summer in warmer climates it could be below freezing.

RDF3805d ago

I think its the Enclaves last stronghold. Miraposa Base is the Headquarters for them.

Logak3805d ago

No, It's not going to be set in Chicago. Gonna be in Boston i,e; The CommenWealth. It's like a massive robot city place thing, where they're lots of scientists.
The Morse code playing in the website translate 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–"

^ The Institute is a scientific society thing located in the Commonwealth, and it's headed by Zimmer, the guy from Fallout 3 who came down looking for an android he made that ran off.

Before there was a different Morse code playing, and it was;

“Call Any Station, Calling Any Station, Calling Any Station, This is From OZ (Oscar Zulu), Please Wait.”

^ "Oscar Zulu" was a mystery radio station which was going on about how a man and his family were very sick and they needed help, and when you finally found them,they disappeared. I suspect that it would be related to this family, and their sickness... In which they travel to the Commonwealth in search for a cure, though that's just speculation.

howittsdone3805d ago

I wonder if the 0321 at the end could be the release date. Its a Friday in March (so it very well could be, Skyrim was released on a Friday). That would be amazing! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

problemchild843805d ago (Edited 3805d ago )

I always assumed they had died, there were several skeletons in the place that they were holed up in (meaning that the message was quite old and was playing on a loop for many years) if I remember correctly. Anyway I can't wait for some more Fallout!

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai1d 2h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken1d 1h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye1d ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken22h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

GamerRN6h ago

The mods aren't broken, just modded saves

Michiel19896h ago

@gamerRN shhhh don't tell them, if you do they can't mindlessly hate a company when they're so uninformed anymore

MaximusTKG4h ago

My modded save is working fine. Perhaps it’s not a blanket issue.

Inverno20h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop19h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Sirch9h ago

This is business 101.

These are massive companies who are here to make money, not please us gamers. They will charge whatever the market will bare, and will monetize everything they can until gamers stop buying.

People need to wake up and smell the capitalism that has come to gaming. They aren’t here for us any more, they are here for their profits.

Armaggedon45m ago

Why do we keep bringing starfield into this. Purge the wrongful hate from yourself

Chocoburger20h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer19h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

GamerRN6h ago

It actually bumps the settings up to ultra, 1440p 60fps. Added some new content. And it's free. That's a great upgrade to me...

badz14918h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos18h ago(Edited 18h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

1nsomniac6h ago

My ps4 version boots fine after the update. It flashed up some long message about the ps5 version when I got in to the game menu but as soon as it appeared the message disappeared so I couldn’t read it. But the game loaded in and I was able to play.

Bethesda Looking Into PlayStation Plus Subscribers Not Being Able to Upgrade Fallout 4

Bethesda Customer Support Manager confirmed they're looking into Fallout 4 not being offered to those who redeemed via PlayStation Plus for free.

Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.

MWeaver5891d ago

I think it's because the main question for many was whether or not the PlayStation Plus Collection version would support the upgrade. To me it seems obvious the PlayStation Plus Extra version would, though it is nice to see confirmation it will.

That said, Bethesda highlighting the PlayStation Plus Extra version low-key confirms they do not plan on upgrading the other version given to players. Naturally some people are pissed, as even the in-game phrasing says "free for all players."

VenomUK23h ago

@MWeaver589 Exactly this point, it was advertised as free for everyone.

VincentVanBro22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

It’s just a lame solution to the problem, even if it is a solution. The comment shouldn’t be downvoted though.

Christopher22h ago

I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.

Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.

Is this your first time here?! And when you question the downvotes you get downvoted - I don't make the rules but that's the rules!

Even though I claimed the PS Plus version, I still have my physical GOTY PS4 edition and was able to get my PS5 upgrade a little earlier today. Physical media FTW lol. Hopefully it won't be too long before the PS Plus owners also get to upgrade their copies.

JackBNimble23h ago

My digital version works just fine , what's your point?

raWfodog23h ago

My point is that even though I claimed the digital version via my PS+ Essential sub, I was still able to upgrade to the PS5 version using my PS4 GOTY physical version that I bought years ago. Otherwise I would have had to wait for the fix to be released, however long that will take. Isn’t that what the article was about?

JackBNimble17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

No, you claimed an upgrade that everyone with the physical or digital license can other then ps+ extra .
And what you hold is nothing more then a physical license.

And the article is talking about people with ps+extra who didn't own the game previously to it going on ps+ .

I bought the game years ago to ... digitally, my whole point was to your statement " physical media Ftw" . So what does physical have to do with anything?

k2d12h ago

Should have looked into the 75% deal before the update, but I just assumed I owned it. Thankfully I found the physical disc, ha...

blacktiger21h ago

I expect this and also no releasing on next ps console. Pretty simple. Please don't be suprise

purple10110h ago(Edited 10h ago)

More like not releasing on next Xbox, all games sell better on ps due to 1 more consoles in the wild, &, 2 ps players buy more games. The fallout games take a long time to make I assume, probably want to make a good profit on that development time

Literally yesterday “Chairman And CEO Microsoft Satya Nadella:

"We committed to meeting players where they are by brining great games to more people on more devices."

anast4h ago

They don't need to. They have shill game writers trying to point people to the $35 version...yeah, let that sink in.
