I think its a given it will be on nextgen.

I'd rather get it on PC though.

0ut1awed3862d ago

For sure Kipsta.

The mods for Fallout 3 and New Vegas were nothing short of amazing.

GarrusVakarian3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

This is going to be my reaction if they announce Fallout 4 at the VGA's:

Not much of a Fallout fan, but I'm interested to see what it looks like.

Yes! I can't wait to explore 100 cut and paste dungeons populated by the same handful of enemies regardless of their location. I can't wait for an infinite number of randomly generated fetch quests. I can't wait for that realization 5 hours in that there really is no point to exploring in a Bethesda game, since every house is devoid of character, lore, or purpose.

Hey Bethesda, hire the guy who writes the one or two good quests in each of your games and fire the guy who writes the rest.

ELpork3863d ago

You didn't play Skyrim did you?...

ifritAlkhemyst3863d ago (Edited 3863d ago )

I own and have played every Bethesda game back to and beyond the Terminator stuff. I buy them cheap, because I'm waiting for them to actually fulfill the potential of their series. Sadly, they seem more interested in making things larger and emptier than making any improvements.

mkis0073862d ago (Edited 3862d ago )

I love them for a few weeks but he is kinda accurate. New vegas was by far the best bethesda game....and it was made by obsideon. They need to stop worrying about sizes and go for content. Not to say they don't have content...But a lot of it is the same. The bugs ruin their games...they don't handcraft each area. Makein sure each place you visit has a purpose. They still never fixed the problem of way to little voice actors.

jocomat93862d ago

@mkis007 i strongly disagree. I have platted both fallout 3 %100 all dlc and new vegas. And i didn't get the FNV dlc trophies. You want to know why. Because They were boring and you can tell they rushed and thrown in. Same with with the base game. Fallout3 was better because it had way more memorable missions. New vegas had little better gameplay but missions were empty and less memorable.

Blacktric Haha really? Blowing up megaton, killing tenpenny, alien dlc, chinese stealth suit nuka cola quantums to sunsparilla caps? really? Let me guess you must of played new vegas first. yet fallout 3 has better score on metacritic and GOTY even though NV has improved gameplay. So if it wasn't the gamplay that made FO3 better must of been the quality content then. Yeah Im right.

NukaCola3862d ago

Guys

Don't hate NV. Both are amazing. FO3 had the campaign but undeniably New Vegas felt deep and just as amazing.

Blacktric3862d ago (Edited 3862d ago )

"Let me guess you must of played new vegas first."

Bought and played Fallout 3 on release day. Same goes for New Vegas.

"yet fallout 3 has better score on metacritic and GOTY"

Maybe I shouldn't even bother replying, considering you are going for the "hurr durr metacritic score is higher" shtick that only some mindless fanboys love to rely on. But here it goes...

Save for the big chunks of the main questline, New Vegas had both better and more quests. If you include the post Dead Money DLCs, the superiorty becomes even more apparent. In 3, the final stretch of the main quest becomes pathetically methodical. In New Vegas, you have branching storylines of different factions that leads to different endings. Yet you are sitting there, telling me that "convincing a sophisticated AI to destroy itself by just talking" was more memorable than helping an isolated community of ex-vault dwellers, that has enough firepower to destroy half of Mojave, to unearth a bomber plane that they'll later use to help you during final battle or removing Caesar's tumor and then having the option to sell him one of your companions to be his personal doctor/slave.

Side quest wise, New Vegas is also superior. You have wacky quests like "Come Fly With Me", "There Stands the Grass" and "That Lucky Old Sun" or quests with over arching stories like Return To Sender that can take more than an hour to complete if you haven't discovered some of the locations. And these are all in the core game. With DLCs (especially with Old World Blues, which is considered to be the best Fallout DLC by many people while Mothership Zeta is loathed for many reasons including having a god awful level design and raping the lore of original two games) you get even more variety.

Add the fact that New Vegas having bigger level cap, more and varied weapons, weapon mods, streamlined skill system, explorable vaults that are designed to have completely different feelings and stories of their own that can be discovered, exploration that is not reliant on copy pasted metro tunnels and much more morally ambigious quests, you'll see which game has the better quests and was also the better game overall. Or not, considering you've already proclaimed yourself as being "right".

Edit: As a side note; blowing up Megaton was used as a marketing gimmick to trick people into believing that the game was going to have morally amibigous quests that'd let the player change the course of the game, much like in Fallout 1-2. In the actual game, blowing up Megaton is one of the stupidest things you can do since it's one of the few big towns the game has and since it has no effect on the ending or anything else that matters really. Dad mentions it at the final stretch of the main questline and then drops it completelyi destruction gets mention in mundane NPC conversations and Moira becomes a ghoul. That's literally it.

jocomat93862d ago (Edited 3862d ago )

Blacktric weird. Cause if new vegas did have a better storyline or quality missions that made it more memorable then Fo3 then it should have got around the same score or better. especially since the gameplay mechanics were improved greatly over FO3. But right now we can only argue our opinion but mine is more supported by reviews on metacritic. (which is a collection of opinions.)So your the minority. True the plane mission was a good mission. Remember starting out as a baby in FO 3 though?Behemoths, bobbleheads? You like NV better i like FO 3 better. Both r great.

gaffyh3862d ago

I agree with jocomat9, Fallout 3 was a much better game, better story and less buggy. But New Vegas was also very good. Hopefully this rumor is true.

Hope they clean the game up
3 was a good game but a damn bug fest

0ut1awed3862d ago

While I don't agree with your statement, It sounds like you need to invest your time in some mods.

People put some really good time into all sorts of things including completely custom, innovative, and simply awesome quest that even have complete voicework included.

unjust753862d ago

Exactly, but skyrims not like that. Too bad they won't reveal Skyrim 2. I'd much rather have that. Fallout story kinda boring.

Destrania3863d ago

A next-gen Fallout would be nice for sure.

JunioRS1013862d ago

it's definitely time, that's for sure.

MattyG3863d ago

This isn't even a rumor. It's just "well, they've announced things there before and it's been a while since we saw a Fallout game, so maybe. Now give me clicks". Way to get my hopes up.

nope1113863d ago

I will eat my boxers if true... I seriously hope the Boston rumor is legit, such a great setting for a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Massachusetts was also reference in Fallout 3 several times too.

obelix013862d ago

I'd like to see NYC. But hell with the size of content next gen systems are capable of why not two major cites?

nope1113862d ago

As a proud New Yorker, i completely agree. Post-apocalyptic NYC would be amazing. Oh those subway tunnels and skyscrapers. hnnnng

How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.

bondsmx17d ago

Well, I still crashed like 5 times last night within two hours. So there’s that.

anast17d ago

I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

helicoptergirl23d ago

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis23d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits23d ago

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

anast23d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast23d ago

I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.

Good-Smurf23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.

MrDead23d ago

It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
