Fallout 4 Teaser Site is a Hoax + Bethesda Softworks Responds

Sorry everyone! It turns out the "Fallout 4 teaser site" that had so many of us convinced an announcement around the fourth installment of Bethesda's popular series was imminent is, in fact, fan-made.

The Hoax Site has also posted an apology:
"That's All Folks -
Remember, don't be mad at Bethesda! They are an awesome company."

-Foxtrot3811d ago

LOL...oh now they respond

Bit late for that don't you think

Silly Mammo3811d ago

Bethesda tried to respond earlier in the week, but the program they tried to respond with was so buggy that it was never posted.

BluP3811d ago

I laughed a bit harder than I should have.

Kalebninja3811d ago

it really was genius i wish they didnt respond he said on december 11th he was going to release a cgi trailer

elhebbo163811d ago

this is kinda late the hoaxer did a AMA on reddit yesterday

Demoa3811d ago

screw you bethseda, you could have just said this from the beginning.

FunkMacNasty3811d ago

I think Bethesda kept quiet because this fan made page was generating so much free publicity and hype.

It was a smart business move, really. This way Bethesda was able to check the temperatre of the internet to get a feel for anticipation levels for another Fallout game.

Hopefully, as they see the massive dissapointment that the site was fake, they now know how much gamers want to see a new Fallout!!!!

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.

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

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."

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

Furesis7d ago

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

Vits7d 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.

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

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-Smurf6d ago (Edited 6d 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.

MrDead6d 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.
