LadyMilla Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Just read a post on the Obisidian forums with a link to a trademark registration request:https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/trademarks/015737133 As to the question of whether it is real or fake: https://twitter.com/LoneVaultWander/status/765509249816342528 MrMatty's video about the rumor: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4nks Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If the rumors leading up to FO4 are anything to go by, we are in for years and years of fake stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMilla Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 The thing that makes this rumor a bit more than your usual "work on the next game has already begun" thing is that somebody was willing to pay at least €850 to file the application. You can see on the linked EUIPO page that the application fulfilled Fast Track conditions, one of which is to pay a fee of $850 to €1050 within 9 days. Trademark troll? It would be a waste of money as Bethesda would surely object to the application. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that this is definitely "the real thing", but at least this rumor has something "tangible" behind it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethreon Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 While it looks more substantial, I can't help but feel like this is a publicity stunt from Beth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wunderbot Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If they're smart, they'd let Obsidian develop a new Fallout to fill the gap between 4 and 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossayos Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Here's hoping. But I'm way beyond buying any hype or rumor. Would be nice if Obsidian had another go at Fallout. For me they're simply the better story tellers than Bethesda, and since I play these games for escapism rather than shooting everything up on sight, story is pretty important to me.

bben46 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I would like to see a Fallout based in New Orleans. There is a big opportunity for things like Voodoo magic, Zombies in place of, or along with, Ghouls, partially submerged city (FYI, Parts of NO are already below sea level and are only kept dry by large water pumps) Above ground cemeteries and mausoleums ( the water table is too high to bury them underground) Spooky antebellum mansions, abandoned slave shacks, dark swamps with mutated gators snapping turtles and huge snakes, Pirates, and Cajuns. Cajun food. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiCHo666 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I highly doubt it's real, but at the same time I highly hope it's real. Still, I definitely won't buy it at the release day as I did with FO4 because of hype and then get burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossayos Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I highly doubt it's real, but at the same time I highly hope it's real. Still, I definitely won't buy it at the release day as I did with FO4 because of hype and then get burned. That's why I encourage everyone not to listen to any PR hype. I bought FO4 at day 1, but I knew what I was getting. A Bethesda game. So I wasn't disappointed when I played a Bethesda game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vormina Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 New Orleans, New York, New Jersey, doesn't matter to me where it's located, I will play it cause I love Bethesda games and I'm never disappointed from any hype which I don't pay attention to anyway, cause either way I will eventually install tons of mods that allow me to make it MY game and play it the way I want to, not the way some corporate exec expects me to play it.
