@alonewolf003 Heh true that. If it wasn't for the mods on pc Beth wouldn't be near as successful as it is. They make good games but happen to have a horrible reputation for buggy launches. I hope they change that with this long ass wait we've had for FO4.

Also I agree that multiplayer would definitely be a possiblity. Especially if they use a system similar to Garry's Mod where it syncs your mods while loading someone else's world.

Well Bethesda has said that their next game would use the same engine as Skyrim, so you can probably expect the same degree of bugs/glitches etc.

It's unfortunate but I'd have to agree with you there. Not to mention they haven't put near as much effort into FO titles as ES. We can always hope though, right?

@BoomBewm They have used a recycled Oblivion engine for both FO3 and FNV. So logic follows that they'd either improve that one or move up to Skyrim's engine.

What the same engine?Cmon that aint fair i dont wanna see an old engine,but something better i want a real hight quiality Fallout game.

Oh, aiming at one place and shooting in your legs again, damn the old engine. I hope that weapons now will feel like weapons at least. And character movement will be more realistic, because I hated third person mode in FO3/NV, characters ran like crazy dummies, sliping with their feet and switching to different directions in a really unhuman way.

I get the feeling that we'll see TES6 come out first, and then FO4 will follow using the same (hopefully somewhat improved) engine. I just hope they finally ditch Gamebryo for something from this millennium.

I've noticed that both the West and East coasts have gotten some attention. Why not have the setting somewhere towards the center of the US, like around the Chicago or Indianapolis areas? The Alton, IL mod for FO3 was fantastic (save the voice acting ), even with the "hicktown in the middle of nowhere" feeling, so I could see a metropolitan area in the Great Lakes region doing fairly well. I'm not sure exactly what happened to them according to lore, but I do know that the city of Fort Wayne in northeastern Indiana was on Hitler's top 10 locations to bomb because of its advanced radio technologies at the time, so maybe that could come into play.

Of course, it seems that FO4 will most likely be in Boston at this point. I guess I can always hope for FO5.

so first of I think we will hear something about fallout at this years E3 with it possibly being released in the fall this year or at least by the fall of next year.

@BoomBewm. I highly doubt they will ever make it console exclusive.; Bethesda seem smart enough to know that it's the mods that keep people playing long after the game came out and keep the fan base interested in the franchise. And I'm pretty sure it's going to be on the skyrim engine although i think they will try and improve it a little. ideally they will have created a new engine for fallout seeing as they have had so long to work on the game.

I have mixed feelings about a Co-op mode in fallout.
I think it could be fun to explore the world and complete quests with a friend. especially when faced with saving or destroying a town like megaton in FO3. having to split supplies and resources could also add another layer of challenge to the game.

However as people have said making sure you are both playing with the same mods/load order could be difficult and frustrating.
Also Fallout is my the game I like to play when I don't want to interact with other people if I have had a bad day, when I can't sleep or no one is available to play something multiplayer.
Also the one other issue I have about playing co-op in fallout is that it's a long ass game and it can be hard to find some one willing to commit or has the time to play 80+ hours that it takes to play and explore a fallout game for the first time.

Guys since all this rumor topic got me thinking what if Fallout 4 is an exclusive only for consoles?And follows the steps of GTA V what then?

No... just no. Isn't happening, and there's no reason whatsoever to think that it would.

While we have a solid reason to think why it will be on PC. Mods. Mods give life to Bethesda games and they admit it. They are no fools to lose such big auditory.

Should BGS really make the game a console exclusive, they would be losing half their revenue or maybe even more because the PC gamers make up the majority of their playerbase. That would be a really bad idea seeing that they have had to work for 5 years (Skyrim released in 2011) to create their "flagship game" and only to receive crap results. No....BGS or Zenimax would be mad to do that. Another thing gamers usually think about when they hear about games by BGS is the mods. Fallout 3? Mods. Skyrim? Mods. It is what makes their games unique and by making it console exclusive, it was as though they were slapping the modding community right in the face.Twice. for all their support for the past decade or so (since Morrowind). So no, it won't be a console exclusive unless BGS/Zenimax really wants a deathwish.

In my opinion, there a low chance Fallout 4 will be reveled in E3. But probably in 2016 they will probably show a preview of it. Then probably released in the next year. It's just my opinion but when Fallout 4 comes out, I know it be a great game. Or else a army of angry mobsters at there front office with pitchforks and torch.

Well to me it would make sense, it's like Half Life 3 waiting until it comes but bethseda should be working on a new Fallout game. It's been ages since they have and I hope it isn't glitchy and not buggy but as we know Bethseda..That may be impossible..Who cares? I've enjoyed the Fallout games so much I think they're making Fallout 4 for real.

just out of curiosity, where do you guys think the game will take place? I heard rumors that it might be in Boston.

I thought the next fallout would be more like a stalker game then a fallout one.
