TBD = To Be Delayed

 

[barit]

You know what would be amazing? If they announced the release day on the release date.

I mean imagine that? They have a big showing at E3, then at the end they say "You can buy and play fallout 4....now."

I always wondered why no one has tried a release like that, I mean a series like this is going to sell PERIOD, so why not generate amazing excitement/hype by doing a super huge surprise release like that? Totally blow everyone's socks off.

And losing all the juicy pre-orders? Never ever gonna happen with a big AAA game

 

[El_Chino]

where does he say it in there?

He basically states that they want to reveal the game when it's close to being shipped. It
doesn't take much to read in between in the lines.

Here's the full interview.

[erawsd]

Damn, could be the best year ever for RPGs.

Pillars of Eternity, Bloodborne, Witcher 3, X, and Fallout 4. Just need Atlus to come through with a NA release of Persona 5 this year.

 

[RPGamer92]

Fuck yes. Megaton!!

 

[Gucci Messiah]

I'll believe it when the game goes gold. Still thinking F4 will be delayed into 2016.

Pete Hines has said similar things. It sounds like they know they don't need much marketing to sell people on it, and they know people want it without having to wait for too long.

 

[JaggedSac]

Damn, my fall is going to be bonkers.

 

[Welfare]

Please be early October so I can spend 3 weeks on it before Halo 5.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

I definitely won't be going straight into grad school this Fall. I'm takin' me a break

 

[BlackJace]

Would be great. Apparently it's been in the works for a good long while.

 

[matrixman92]

this year is going to be insane...this would make me a happy camper

 

[Data West]

Didn't Skyrim release fairly shortly after its reveal? It was under a year at least.

 

[Ibuki]

Oh my god guys... I might have to skip other titles this year.

 

[brickarts295]

Damn son, this years race to GOTY is going to be a massacre, hell it's already looking bloody with just BB and W3.
Bloodborne, Witcher 3, MGS V, (Possibly) Fallout 4, (Possibly) Persona 5, (Possibly) Arkham Knight, (Possibly) Rise of Tomb Raider and Halo 5.

 

[ryan299]

this year is going to be insane...this would make me a happy camper

I need a spreadsheet. I'm losing track of all the games! lol

 

[Data West]

Damn son, this years race to GOTY is going to be a massacre
Bloodborne, Witcher 3, MGS V, (Possibly) Fallout 4, (Possibly) Persona 5, (Possibly) Arkham Knight, (Possibly) Rise of Tomb Raider and Halo 5.

Will all lose to Yakuza 5 :3.
Xenoblade, Splatoon, Cities Skylines, and some other stuff too

 

[Panda Rin]

Damn son, this years race to GOTY is going to be a massacre
Bloodborne, Witcher 3, MGS V, (Possibly) Fallout 4, (Possibly) Persona 5, (Possibly) Arkham Knight, (Possibly) Rise of Tomb Raider and Halo 5.

If Persona 5 comes out this fall, I'm gonna flip shit.

MGS V, Fallout 4, and P5 alone could last me a very, very long time.

 

[ferrasvansen]

Must admit if they are showing gameplay at E3 i expect the game will be ready to ship this year and likely November, fits in since there has not been a Beth studios game since Skyrim November 2011.

 

[Barry Burton]

This year's GOTY race is going to be tight.

Yeah, if everything comes out in 2015 and meets expectations, it could be one of those years where 7, 8 games get an even split of the media awards. Unless one happens to blow them all out of the water, which is a crazy thought considering Bloodborne and Witcher 3 have set the bar awfully high. Deus Ex can't possibly be coming out this year too, can it?

 

[paparazzo]

Didn't Skyrim release fairly shortly after its reveal? It was under a year at least.

Skyrim was announced Dec. 2010 -> release Nov. 2011.

2016 almost certainly. If it is this year, I'd be shocked.

Well, it's not a game, but Sega did try that with the Saturn.

Yeah, it didn't end well. Sure it wouldn't be the same exact story with a game instead of a full console, but I think this is one of those impractical fanboy dreams that sounds awesome on paper, but when you think about it, is not a good idea at all.

 

[BeforeU]

No fucking way.

Noooo fucking way.

Hollyshit if true

 

[shinobi602]

Deus Ex can't possibly be coming out this year too, can it?

Thankfully not, way too much on my plate already lol.

 

[Boke1879]

CE details at E3. Please!

I'm holding out for a CE version. If it's released this year no doubt they'll have to announce a CE at E3

 

[iNvid02]

well the witcher 3 could use some competition, lets see what a next gen bethesda RPG looks like

 

[anexanhume]

Thankfully not, way too much on my plate already lol.

On that note, thank fuck ME4 is next year.

 

[Tobor]

I'm going to need more hours in the day, come fall.

Im going to save a time away day and have a three day weekend for this game.

It will be glorious!

 

[batrush]

I would be surprised if this isn't delayed. Persona 5 and Fallout 4 in 2015 seems to good to be true.

 

[The Lone Courier]

Shit if true. In a good way of course.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Isn't Todd Howard's team generally pretty good at hitting dates? If they announce it for 2015 I'd be pretty surprised if it got delayed.

 

[Muzicfreq]

Sweet. Can't wait for the DF breakdown and the wave of mayhem to come over GAF

 

[Endless]

They've changed it, now it's only "TBA" http://store.bethsoft.com/fallout-4.html

 

[gossi]

Skyrim was announced for 11/11/11 well in advance and they hit it. Judging from the entirely ingame trailer with no bullshot 'in engine' graphics, I'd say they are very far along in development.

 

[anexanhume]

[AstroNut325]

I wish all game studios announced their games no more than 6 months out from release.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Has this been posted on GAF yet?

 

[Fracas]

Has this been posted on GAF yet?

nah you're definitely the first

 

[KZObsessed]

Hmm I'm not convinced, but if it does itll have been a great year.

 

[Darksol]

Bloodborne, Witcher, Metal Gear, Fallout and Persona all in the same year

 

[Boke1879]

Sony knew it. Who needs 1st party games when Fallout is coming in the same year. Muhahaha

If this game does come this year. I fear for any games that release around it

 

[Welfare]

They've changed it, now it's only "TBA" http://store.bethsoft.com/fallout-4.html

Pre-order Fallout 4 and get 20% off your next purchase on the Bethesda Store! (A 20% off code will be emailed to you after purchase. 20% off excludes games, pre-sale, deposit and sale items. Codes expire October 31, 2015.)

Forgot to change that.

 

[iMax]

They've changed it, now it's only "TBA" http://store.bethsoft.com/fallout-4.html

So they've seen this thread then. Hi guys!

 

[Fushichou187]

Yeah, with Domino's Pizza UK twitter already posting a x-promotion tweet, it seemed like the stars were aligning for a 2015 release. Fallout has traditionally been a September/October release-- even during the Black Isle/Interplay days, and both FO3 & NV were late October games. If it is coming this fall, October would keep with that. September is front-loaded with Mad Max and MGSV, and late October has Ubi games, but it could easily release in between those or even in the last week of October. A Bethesda RPG would be a welcome choice amidst Ubi games (AC & R6) in October, and CoD & Battlefront in November.

 

[Acquiescence]

I thought it was macaffery?

I can't speak for Ryan, but I know Colin has predicted on several occasions that Fallout 4 would be a 2015 title.

I can't believe it's looking like he was right. I thought he was deluded.

 

[Vuapol]

Hold me.

Please Bethesda, Please.

 

[RootCause]

Go ahead, make my day. :0

 

[Backfoggen]

Everything is 2016. I'll believe FO4 coming out in 2015 when you can preload it.

 

[FStop7]

My prediction - Initially a holiday 15 release date. Delayed to Q1 16 sometime in September.
