Fallout 4

- Start date
If Fallout 4 is in the works, then I am waiting with bated breath. I loved Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
I think, if there's one thing I would wish out of the Fallout series, and I realize this may sound heretical, or even blasphemous to those who are fans of the series:
I never really liked the idea that the world somehow remained in arrested cultural development past the 1950's when the nuclear war took place (I believe) in 2077. I wish they'd gone to at least an arrested development from...oh...I dunno... 1987.
I understand the aesthetic.... it's meant to sort of resemble a 1950's/60's idea of a futuristic post-holocaust nation.
But, to do that would disrupt the story and timeline as well for Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
If wishes were horses then dreamers would ride. (But wishes are really more like cattle...so break out the shovels.) LOL!

I thought that while Fallout 3 had its problems and that most liked New Vegas better, I actually preferred the narrative and gameplay of F3. New Vegas did have better theme though, and it was really a lot of fun seeing many of the locations I had visited on my trip out west, including Zion. Looking forward to whatever Fallout 4 ends up being.
I will laugh if Fallout 4 takes place in New Orleans/New Orleans area.
Indeed! See Fallout get the next-gen treatment (visually) that Elder Scrolls Online seems to have.
Looks like Gamespot broke their embargo a little ahead of time. The countdown hasn't finished yet and that video they link to is still set to "private". I'm sure Bethesda's PR people will be having words with them. 
ETA: My mistake, it's the official site that went live early. In which case it's the IT people that get to have a friendly chat with PR.
Which is all academic now since the trailer is now up.

I'm guessing the setting is east coast, maybe Philadelphia? The "Vault 111" number seems to suggest as much if nothing else. If there are any notable American landmarks in that I either missed them or aren't familiar with them.
The airship was a nice touch. Wasn't there one in Fallout Tactics?
Nice to see some thriving towns. One of the main things that bothered me about FO3 & NV was how deserted the settlements were. One of the many things that made it hard to buy that it's been over 200 years since the bombs fell. You'd think it'd been more like 30-50 years based on the art design alone.
Also: COLOUR! They actually have some bright, vibrant (if somewhat rusty) colours amidst the wreck and ruin. About damn time!
