I will be quite disappointed if it's not totally open. I'd somewhat understand if really big buildings or facilities weren't totally seamless, but if caves and normal homes and simple buildings require loading screens I'm gonna be sad and confused.
I also hope that Bethesda doesn't really on stuff like the Super Mutants, BoS and the Enclave and what not too much and develops more unique factions for the NE to take the center stage. The old stuff is all well and good but it's mostly West Coast stuff they transplanted. The whole Commonwealth and Institute stuff could be really really cool. They no longer need that to connect it to the rest of the series, the East Coast deserves it's own unique story and conflicts.

Haha, this is Fallout. I can almost guarantee that will still happen.
Depends how the environments are rendered, I suppose. Looking at the trailer, some of the homes seemed to be a lot more "open" to the outside environment, so if they are considered part of the "outside" world, there may not be loading screens. Larger sections (tunnels, stations, that sort of thing) I would still suspect to have to load.
I'll admit it, I laughed at that.

Agreed, it made the game feel a whoooole lot better
Much more dangerous and BIG when you have to make sure you're supplied before you go anywhere
Would be great if they also have big weather effects, making it so you have certain equipment that helps guard against it. Like sandstorms that make it so you need goggles or you can't see properly and the such.

So we have no estimated release window yet? Safe to say this is a 2016 title?
Agreed. I'm a little confident since they already have two groups that they can develop into - well pretty much anything really.
Well, Skyrim was released almost a year after it's announcement, but it was announced in november.
Me thinks it is not impossible it is a xmas 2015 game; it'd have almost no competition.
Then again, a game this big prolly doesn't need to be released in the xmas season to be big.

Sorry if I post it here but other two threads seem overridden with graphic complaints so I felt that my post would be completely lost.
I'm really excited for Fallout 4 after seeing those landmarks in the trailer. I'm really glad that they are going to do Boston for Fallout 4 because I went there several times for vacation and I'm going to have a field day to take a look at some landmarks and thinking about the difference between our Boston and Fallout's Boston.
Yeah, I have a huge thing for alternative universe plots based on what if and what would happens if things went differently. Fallout is prefect franchise to fill my needs for those kind of things. Do anyone know other franchises/games that might have alternative universe plots that I might enjoy as well?
Anyway, I can't emphasize how much that I'm totally excited that we are getting Boston for Fallout 4 because it's really enriched with a lot of histories there. For good example, Scollay Square, I'm totally stroked that we are going to see it in the game. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to enjoy this game much as I did with Fallout 3.
MIT is more likely to be in the game as The Institute, so I'm curious to see if they are going to add other historical landmarks, like Quincy Market, Boston Public Library, Trinity Church, Symphony Hall, Old State House, Old City Hall, Boston Light, Boston Naval Shipyard, etc.

Just in case it hasn't been mentioned, Fallout 3 takes place in 2277, 200 years after the bombs dropped in October 2077.
I assume this game starts in 2077, the day bombs drop. You play as a character who likely dies trying to make it to Vault 111.
The game would then skip forward a few hundred years to you playing as a the main character who grew up in the Vault.

These guys are wearing T-45d power armor, not the T-51b seen later in the trailer. Interesting.
Notice the number of NPCs on the screen at once.

The phrase "war never changes" seems like a tag line they would use to keep a more-of-the-same approach to the game and wrap that game design decision in a shroud of lore and cannon. Because after all, in reality, war constantly changes...
I don't know it appears cheap and its bothersome to me that Bethesda seems quite unwilling to deviate from the Oblivion formula for its RPGs. Idk maybe I'm reading too much into it but this looks an awful lot like fallout 3.

I think it's pretty much guaranteed we'll be seeing the Brotherhood of Steel in this game. Since the Institute is described in Fallout 3 as a place of incredibly advanced tech, that would certainly draw the attention of the BoS.
I predict the game will feature a conflict between the BoS and the Institute over their technology, and the player will be able to pick a side in that fight.

It's even worse if you have Operation Anchorage. You get an unbreakable set of power armor and some of the best weapons in the game right away.

I just visited Boston for the first time last year, all of these landmarks look so familiar. The State House, Bunker Hill, Fanuil Hall, Fenway, USS Constitution. So hyped!
Do you guys think VATS is still in? Or a new system?

Oh god no! They should bring back the New Vegas style of leveling...
Monsters act as gates and some are always stronger than others. Deathclaws should always be mini-boss fights

when i heard about the common wealth and the institution there i remembered half life and black mesa. i wonder if the institution in FO4 is working on a cool project that the game will explore.
also i hope we get huge boss fights in the game.
also please please more aliens in the game!!!!

Educated Speculation: the writing and story would probably the same caliber as FO3 than FO:NV which is subpar at best.
Seeing the deathclaw-ridden valley in NV was incredible.

So I'm going to come out and say it...
I hope we have an intro with a nuke detonating while people are panicing all around to try and get into the bunker, or atleast experience something like that. It would be a pretty unique experience.
Also who is the VA?

I agree. It can of course be improved but I'd miss it if it were removed. I hope we get a glimpse of it on the 14th.

I survived Deathclaw Promontory at Level 5 just so I could grab the two Power Armor's
ED-E & Veronica were noble sacrifices
Sadnstorms would be cool. Add in sandstorm weapon degradation and weapon jamming for hardcore and we're set.
Glad it's set in The Commonwealth. I hope this deals with The Institute. Blade Runner x Fallout.

You are crazy.
I remember accidentally stumbling into the Death Claw's lair without knowing where the fuck I was. I had Boon and Rex with me at the time, so it wasn't too bad. I somehow managed to climb up on a rock where the Death Claws couldn't reach me and camped their letting Boon and Rex do the dirty work. I think there were three or four Death Claws trying to get me and it took Boon a while to kill them off for me. I will never forget the moment they chased me before getting on top of a rock.

Thank you so much for this thread, I couldn't handle the toxicity of the reveal one...
Anyways, lots of interesting things to note here. I love the idea of the intro being played before the blast, running to a fallout shelter.
It would also be interested to get a first hand account of some of the more psychological experimentations going on in some of the vaults, maybe your character is in a vault that has some underlying variables, which could lead to interesting side effects once you're out in the wasteland.
Personally I'm looking forward to some more personality for the main character, the voiceless protagonist thing is getting old for me, I hate the idea of standing around while people tell me what to do. Give me some branching voiced dialog similar to Mass Effect and I'm all about it.
What do you guys think about the potential voice acting?

I'm not really on board with this voiced protagonist thing. I fear dumb dialogue is going to be MIA like in Fallout 3 or cut down like it was in New Vegas since there's already male and female dialogue to record. I can't imagine they'll completely record separate dialogue and reactions to you being a raging imbecile as well. That combined with Fallout 3 and New Vegas's SPECIAL mattering less overall is worrisome.

Well both FO3 and NV had character creators, so I'm sure you'll be able to modify to your heart's content. In the videos they'll just drop generic Vault Dweller, but it basically goes without saying that this game will have a character creator too.
I just wonder how the voice acting will work with it.
I thought that some of The Institute stuff was in early leaks.

I hope the before the war stuff isn't too extensive. I like stumbling upon little remnants of the old world in these games and how characters imagine what it may have been like. I'd rather not see too much of it.
Not that it's some huge mystery to us as players (basically 1950's America with crazy technology) but it is for people living after the war in the FO universe.

Does anyone know who the lead quest designer is? I'm a huge fan of Fallout (and if Old North Church is in the game, my old apartment location probably is too) so I'll be getting the game even if it's cobbled together by mice. But I need to set my quest expectations early before I get too hyped.
I'm wondering if the game starts off in 2077 since we saw the war starting and that our character has survived that long? It would make sense with the leaks that he could be an

I really want to know the year. Have the events of FO3 occurred? If so that could be really interesting.
Oh yeah the Enclave is around! So maybe it takes place before.

I hope that you are the baby and go through a similar sequence to FO3 in picking your appearance and SPECIAL in 2077 and then your parents evacuate you and your dog to Vault 111. You are then cryogenically frozen and only woken up ~20 years before the start of the game, so around 2277.
This would be better than playing as one of the two parents. Your backstory won't be as rigid.
The Enclave should not be around at all. Hopefully those are Institute or Brotherhood eyebots, vertibirds, and power armor.
