This is Fallout. It's not a serious drama. It's packed full of things that are deliberately outright ludicrous, and always has been.

That's probably why I think it's rubbish.

Then again I loved Borderlands 2 and that's bonkers.

We can only conclude that Fallout isn't great.

Certainly the trailer for Fallout 4 induced nothing other than boredom for me before its three minutes were up.

It's like the zombies in The Walking Dead two years after the outbreak that seem to have survived a couple of winters despite this being impossible. This stuff is important when you're trying to create a complete and cohesive alternative world if you're a weird mentallist obsessive who cherry picks odd stuff to worry about; no else cares.

I'm sure that with some gameplay footage I'll jump on board the HYPE TRAIN. Fallout >> Elder Scrolls.

The comparatively rubbish soundtrack probably didn't help.

Wash your mouth out with soap !! Fallout 3 had the best soundtrack ever !

Yes, but I was calling New Vegas's soundtrack rubbish compared to that of FO3.

I was eating in a little french bistro a while back and they played 'I don't want to set the world on fire'. That was odd.

The trailer didn't make me feel overwhelmed at how innovative or incredible the gameplay or graphics look. Sure, it's a great improvement from the last Fallout but compared to other games we now have, the graphics really aren't groundbreaking and the character modelling and physics just looks a bit 'off' as usual. However, the thought of a new Fallout story, with new characters, which builds on the best bits of Fallout 3 and New Vegas makes me very excited. So the trailer only excites me because it seems to suggest more of the same and because of the meta, if that makes sense.

I think out of all of their songs I like "We Three" the best

Going back to the game. I'm starting to wonder if Bethesda have done a Valve on us. IE - pretty much finish the game and then announce it. Also this.

Though I can't vouch for its authenticity.

That Reddit comment is interesting and generally sounds pretty legit aside from the idea of making a version of the last gen consoles and releasing that another year down the line. It's questionable whether they'd plan a last gen version at all but releasing it a year after the current gen versions is just bonkers.

That's pretty much what they did with GTAV, isn't it?

What is bonkers is the idea that the last-gen would have save import and the current-gen wouldn't. They'd have to actively put in a load of new content for the last-gen version to alter the world based on your FO3 choices, and that's just daft.

GTAV had a delayed PC release, didn't it?

I thought you were objecting to the fact that it was a staggered release for another platform, rather than the fact it was the order of current/last gen. So the PC release of GTA seemed a valid comparison in that sense.

And releasing the last gen version later would make sense - it's not going to be the market you're targeting where most of your sales are going to be, so it's a lower development priority.

Granted I genuinely have no idea what the split of sales for cross-gen games is between P33/360 and PS4/Xbone is at the moment but my instinct is that by the time the current gen hardware has been around for over two years you're not going to be making a whole load of cash on previous gen consoles.

Wow, very combat heavy, looks okay, but doesn't fill me with awe.
