Source: Fallout 4 will be announced at E3 2015, will be current gen only

GCO: "Bethesda Game Studios will reveal Fallout 4 at E3 2015, according to a source close to the company in a mysterious email."

[DarkOcelet]

I think i will wait this one out until E3. I dont want to hype myself for nothing.

[_-EDMIX-_]

lol, your right but as a huge Bethesda fan...let me drop some knowledge on you.

Fallout 3 was officially announced at E3 2008, released fall....2008.

Skyrim..announced Dec 2010, released fall 2011.

Bethesda is rarely at E3, they didn't even announce Skyrim at E3...

BUT.....they did announce Fallout 3 at E3 officially. I feel indeed Fallout 4 will not only get announced at E3, but will get released shortly after as its they've done before.

Fallout 3 took about close to 4 years to complete, If they've been working on Fallout 4 since Skyrim's completion ie 2011, it would mean that Fallout 4 would have almost the exact amount of time in development as Fallout 3 did.

Its very much feasible that Fallout 4 is getting released this fall.

Also consider the tools give this gen are much easier then last gens.

[Lilrizky]

to help bolster your comment, while skyrim wasn't revealed at E3 2011, the first gameplay footage was. (i remember i watched it 1000 times) then it came out november that year.

so yep all signs pointing....

You make some good points and I would love to see fallout release soon after E3 I just don't see it happening though. I just think we would have heard or seen allot more of the game by now. Also I feel being on current gen means it could be much bigger in scope needing more time.

[Father__Merrin]

fallout 4 would be excellent if itvhad a fall release

[Rob_Ko]

I could make that prediction too

[Andofaus]

Huge Bethesda fan, Fallout and Elder Scrolls are two of my favourite franchise. I have high hopes Fallout 4, good news also that 100% of their focus is on current gen. I'm also interested to know what engine their using hope it's either a complete rebuild of their "Creation" engine or possibly UE4.

[Avernus]

The memories of Fallout 3...my favorite game of all time. I hope they use a different engine though, Gamebryo didn't really work well IMO. Too many bugs / glitches.

[TheBurger29]

Definitely need new engine too get away from old glitches and bugs! Also the combat is waaaayyyy too clunky.

[Randostar]

I have no doubt that Fallout 4 will be Current gen and PC only.
Bethesda is on top of it.

[YodaCracker]

I had not even considered a cross-gen Fallout 4. I hope all of their efforts have been on the new hardware.

[Stapleface]

I want this to be true so badly. But I'm not getting my hopes up. Will wait for an actual announcement before letting the hype begin. Fallout 3 was probably my favorite game of last gen.

[sonicjam]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOO I want a new elderscrolls forget about fallout 4, 3 sucked I couldn't never get into it for some reason.

[DeadMansHand]

You have a new Elder Scrolls, it's called Elder Scrolls Online....Enjoy!

[ManAnimalX]

I'm not holding my breathe because if its announced then the very next thing I want to know is what "Type" of business model Bethesda have in mind for this game...

1. Is it going to require Online?

2. Is it going to have on disk DLC?

3. Is it going to be riddled with Micro- transactions?

4. Is it going to incorporate a bunch of social networking BS like multi-player?

5. Is it going to have some type of F2P bs in it etc?

There always seems to be some controversy these days created by the Industry as they spring on or weasel in something they didn't mention about the game for HYPE'S SAKE, after gamers have already bought in to what the Industry is saying and selling.

I think gamers should start ASKING QUESTIONS NOW (at least pondering them) before you get SUCKED IN like a "Junkie" with no control over impulse, the Industry is counting on you to get caught up in style over substance...

Gamers Beware.

Post Apocalyptic Chicago was discussed for Fallout 4?. Being a Chicago resident, seeing my hometown like this in a video game would be awesome. Not many games take place in Chicago. Watchdogs disappointed me because it was not a very accurate version of Chicago. It was almost an insult to make Chicago the way they did.

[ManAnimalX]

Oh!

What if they announced a remake of Fallout 3 and Fallout Vegas on 1 disk? maybe even remade on a newer graphics engine, like Fallout 4's.

I think that would be sick, ah the memories of the golden age of gaming.....@Jughead3416 Chicago Fallout would be could, im in the Midwest also.

[LAWSON72]

Or, oh, I don't know make a new game. They can remake and rerelease all they want fact is it is still the same game I have already experienced.

[Bdxxacjkfs]

New engine PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LAWSON72]

After all this time it better have a new engine. Skyrim is getting old simply using the same engine would not do an ambitious next gen title justice.

[Swiggins]

I don't care where it is, or what the story is; I want Fallout 4.

Give it to me now!

[LAWSON72]

If it happens I really hope Betheseda releases it within a years time

[Jalva]

If it's announced at E3 it will be a Q4 2016 release at the latest, they're gonna want to have at least a year to hype it up before dropping it on us like a nuclear bomb.

[roguedragon1]

Music to my ears can't tell you how disappointed I would of been if fallout 4 was cross gen. Assuming fallout 4 actually exists. And if it is announced at e3 then you might aswell stop the show after that because no other game will top it!
