Pre-order Fallout 4 and get 20% off your next purchase on the Bethesda Store! (A 20% off code will be emailed to you after purchase. 20% off excludes games, pre-sale, deposit and sale items. Codes expire October 31, 2015.)

World’s Most Anticipated Game in Development at Bethesda Game Studios. Full Details to be Unveiled on June 14th at Bethesda’s E3 Showcase.

“We know what this game means to everyone,” said Game Director, Todd Howard. “The time and technology have allowed us to be more ambitious than ever. We’ve never been more excited about a game, and we can’t wait to share it.”

The game’s official trailer, created >in-game< at Bethesda Game Studios, can be viewed at: www.fallout4.com.

Fallout 4 has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

But mods work so well because they fit into the game as if they were meant to be part of the game. Once that's taken away, you're just left feeling like it was a cheat or broken. If that doesn't bother you, I guess you're just not an immersive modder, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's just that people like myself are.

Even if the character they give us is awesome on his own, the very fact that you are stuck with him makes it awkward.
It just seems like a pointless gimmick. I mean it seem will be given a new, massive, colorful world to explore, but without character customization.

100% sure it's All ingame footage and scenes, i agree with hector. I can't see ANYTHING from pre-calculated render.

How am I supposed to play a 1-int character if he speaks like a MIT graduate?

As some rumors say, there won't be SPECIAL system, so you can't have low INT. -_-

"If that doesn't bother you, I guess you're just not an immersive modder."


Well, I am, actually. It might be shocking to you, but I don't feel the same way about it as you do. That doesn't mean I won't be immersed in the story and the world.

Me and muh immersion will be fine. ;)

In fact, I have only a single complaint about the whole trailer.

We all know that Fallout 4 will ( or should! ) let us choose which gender we want to be, so as far as the actual game is concerned this is a moot point, but I am disappointed that Bethesda chose ( yet again! ) a male stand-in for the PC instead of a female wanderer. I really am becoming utterly sick of all these Caucasian males running around in video games, and I would prefer to see some actual variety in the spice of nuclear apocalyptic life.

Love the dog, by the way. Wo/Man's best friend!

If rumours are correct there is no female player character, that's going to piss some people off, as for dudes in nearly every game...



Contains strong language.

 

 

If that is true...(and I hope to the internet deities that Bethesda has learned players want MORE choices and not less) then that may actually be a deal breaker for me. That is going backwards. The last two games you could play as female so it makes little sense why you would not be able to do so now.

 

It wouldn't even be totally about the fact I am female...it is at the end, choice. Bethesda seems to narrow games more and more with each one. I don't care how pretty the graphics are or if the game has drivable cars. Let me have at least a semblance of choice and be able to choose male or female.

 

With everything that has taken place in the past few years regarding women's place in gaming I would think that in a title that is looked forward to by so many that gender choice would be a no-brainer. I would smack of lazy and that Bethesda has had its fingers in the ears and are loudly singing "la la la la la can't hear you la la la."

Back to the topic, I don't particularly feel comfortable with having a "gender change" at the end of the story, in fact if at all. I always play my character as "Trinity" from the Matrix, this would piss me off severely. And hopefully that woman from reddit isn't joking about a new engine + map size, let's hope it's moddable. With all this talk of cutting everything else, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. But then, they'd probably want to charge wouldn't they?

Amazon is listed a pre-order source for the game, they'll have disks which are usually cheaper, I brought the DVD versions of FNV and Skyrim from Amazon and they cost less than buying directly from Steam.

59.99EUR. Thats kinda... well that's just not the price which I imagined for Fallout 4, since games like Fallout and TES tend to have payed DLCs. But its only day 2 after the public announcement so maybe the price will change and they may add some goodies to the pre-order.

But to play with a predetermined character is making me feel like something is limiting me and I cant feel the freedom of the game anymore. But this opinion of mine is only about the Fallout and TES series. There are many games where I enjoy the predetermined protagonists.

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.

" it says you can switch to female after the main quest"
That sounds like an odd design decision. "Hey, you're done with the MQ, congrats. Now you can go to some big MT-esque geniuses that can change your sex!"

"a new "Classic Mode" that will put the game into birds eye view and play similar to the classic Fallout Games."
This sounds curious, kind of like DA. Not sure how this will play out if it's true.

i play fallout as a woman, and most games as the same character where i can put her, the reason might seem sexist, i have put her there since oblivion on playstation 3, this was the first game i played where a player could fully customise there own character, so naturally i put myself or as close as i could as the character, then half way down the gold road toward anvil a bunch of female bandits jumped out and set about me, i killed one before feeling uncomfortable, since then i have had the same kick ass woman in every game i can, i feel a great affection for her, apart from the fact she is all i want to look at 'cos i play 3rd person, i always try to find her romance.

In fact, I have only a single complaint about the whole trailer.

We all know that Fallout 4 will ( or should! ) let us choose which gender we want to be, so as far as the actual game is concerned this is a moot point, but I am disappointed that Bethesda chose ( yet again! ) a male stand-in for the PC instead of a female wanderer. I really am becoming utterly sick of all these Caucasian males running around in video games, and I would prefer to see some actual variety in the spice of nuclear apocalyptic life.

Love the dog, by the way. Wo/Man's best friend!

If rumours are correct there is no female player character, that's going to piss some people off, as for dudes in nearly every game...



Contains strong language.

If that is true...(and I hope to the internet deities that Bethesda has learned players want MORE choices and not less) then that may actually be a deal breaker for me. That is going backwards. The last two games you could play as female so it makes little sense why you would not be able to do so now.

It wouldn't even be totally about the fact I am female...it is at the end, choice. Bethesda seems to narrow games more and more with each one. I don't care how pretty the graphics are or if the game has drivable cars. Let me have at least a semblance of choice and be able to choose male or female.

With everything that has taken place in the past few years regarding women's place in gaming I would think that in a title that is looked forward to by so many that gender choice would be a no-brainer. I would smack of lazy and that Bethesda has had its fingers in the ears and are loudly singing "la la la la la can't hear you la la la."

If the post in genuine then it's not looking good for those who want choices.

SMB92 wrote: Can you back that, Darkspazz, with say, some EVIDENCE :/

Back to the topic, I don't particularly feel comfortable with having a "gender change" at the end of the story, in fact if at all. I always play my character as "Trinity" from the Matrix, this would piss me off severely. And hopefully that woman from reddit isn't joking about a new engine + map size, let's hope it's moddable. With all this talk of cutting everything else, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. But then, they'd probably want to charge wouldn't they?

The reddit post above may not be 100% accurate but doesn't seem too far off, either.

CRBASF23 wrote: If we was really the person who leaked the information to Kotaku, why in the Kotaku article it says that they called for both Male and Female actors, when in her reddit post says you can only play as Male?

Try reading the Reddit post, it says you can switch to female after the main quest, that would explain the female VA as would having women Npcs.

 

 

If it's not possible to play a female protagonist from the beginning, then I'm no longer excited about the game.

In some possibly weird, lonely, and pathetic way, I get attached to my female characters and want to see her succeed and am always anxious to see what happens next in her story. I just don't form this kind of emotional attachment with male protagonists. With a male protagonist, I just feel more like I'm killing time just to have something to do. Playing GTA V now and I like the characters, but I don't love them. Being passionate about my character was a large part of the fun for me in FO3 and FONV.

 

Not saying I wouldn't play FO4, but lack of female protagonist takes it from a "must have" to a "might buy when it goes on sale for cheap".

boohoo :'(

On Steam for £50 as a pre-order with no extra goodies!

jim_uk wrote: That could change, people should wait, there is no reason whatsoever to pre-order the thing yet, it's not like Steam is going to run out of copies. Amazon is listed a pre-order source for the game, they'll have disks which are usually cheaper, I brought the DVD versions of FNV and Skyrim from Amazon and they cost less than buying directly from Steam.

59.99EUR. Thats kinda... well that's just not the price which I imagined for Fallout 4, since games like Fallout and TES tend to have payed DLCs. But its only day 2 after the public announcement so maybe the price will change and they may add some goodies to the pre-order.

 

 

Most games are 59.99 USD/EU nowadays.

After reading these comments I have a feeling that Fallout 4 will suck big time. I bet they won't care one bit about what the fans want, they're just gonna make a Fallout version of mass effect mixed with CoD or some s#*&#33; like that... Atleast I still have Torment - Tides of Numenera to look forward to.
