If it does release in 2015, then I hope all publishers adopt this marketing strategy where it's a short wait between reveal and release.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

What makes you think it'd be rushed? It'll have been in development for about 4 years by the end of this year, it's had plenty of time.

Because from announcement to release will have been less than 2 years, aka rushed.

 

[Peace Tea]

Looks like 2015 is saved. It's not going to be another dud year. Now I'm just waiting for a set date (2015) on Deus Ex. That's it.

 

[TimeEffect]

Will this be the greatest year for RPGs?

Persona 5?
Fallout 4?
Bloodborne + Expansion?
Witcher 3?

 

[JimmyRustler]

Seems legit. I can fully expect it to release this year. Then please onto TESVI Todd.

 

[forest]

I thought what we saw was an Alpha build? Wouldn't that be way too close?

Haha, this is great.

Don't let me down, GAF. Trying to temper expectations about this coming out this year and if it doesn't, tears.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Good. The faster they release it, the faster the community can get graphic mods out

 

[BigTnaples]

I am cautiously optimistic. I am sure someone has brought it up in this thread already, but I remember Todd Howard saying they wanted to have the game in a near complete state so there wouldn't be any downgrade confusion like with Oblivion.

 

[Fushichou187]

Haha, this is great.

Don't let me down, GAF. Trying to temper expectations about this coming out this year and if it doesn't, tears.

I look forward to my Nuka Sub from Subway But in all seriousness this is one of the better indicators that the release date is this year.

Not if they're already rolling out cross-promo stuff....

 

[Rain City Gamer]

Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Bloodborne, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Persona 5 in the same year.

+ Metal Gear Solid V: TPP

 

[Spectrasonic]

I thought it was kind of obvious once the box art leaked. Probably one of the last things developers focus on.

 

[OnionPowder]

Bethesdas store now says TBA with no year but still has the code expiring in October

 

[kris.]

Game devs should start releasing like hip hop artists.

Haven't heard from R* in a while?

BLAM GTA6 RELEASIN NEXT WEEK MOTHERFUCKERS

 

[Renae]

I doubt it will be released in 2015...

 

[Conflict NZ]

Dear god please let this happen. I wish games would have shorter announce/marketing/release cycles. Keeps the hype high and stops the disappointment of hearing a game is a year plus away.

 

[Ambient80]

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

This, so much.

I'm hopeful for a 2015 release date but I'm not gonna be shocked at all if it is delayed to Spring 2016. It certainly would dominate in that 2016 slot, I would think.

I think Rockstar is the only studio that could get away with that.

 

[OnionPowder]

Where and when?

IIRC this was in reference to Skyrim in 2011 before the VGAs

[Ascenion]

If this drops this year....screw Persona, Halo, CoD, Tales, Battlefront and anything else that dares release after September. I don't need you, I will have the new love of my life: Fallout 4.

 

[kris.]

Prophecy.

 

[Myggen]

If it does release in 2015, then I hope all publishers adopt this marketing strategy where it's a short wait between reveal and release.

Not a chance.

 

[Fushichou187]

Yeah, I need to go back and play New Vegas with that mod...

 

[Zolo]

Will this be the greatest year for RPGs?

Persona 5?
Fallout 4?
Bloodborne + Expansion?
Witcher 3?

You should make a thread about it being the year of RPGs.

 

[iMAGINATION]

If this drops this year....screw Persona, Halo, CoD, Tales, Battlefront and anything else that dares release after September. I don't need you, I will have the new love of my life: Fallout 4.

I completely forgot about Battlefront. Well I guess I won't have a life come fall

 

[BronsonLee]

Because from announcement to release will have been less than 2 years, aka rushed.

That...is a marketing thing.

MKX had less than a year from announcement to release, no?

 

[kevin1025]

do people really think this isn't a 2015 title? Pete Hines has stated numerous times that Bethesda's game will get announced and release in a small window of time. It'll probably be released Oct. - Dec. 2015.

It's more that with all of the delays in the past year or two, a release date this soon after announcement sounds too good to be true. I think it's October as well, but at the same time, we won't know for sure for another 11 days.

 

[shinobi602]

Because from announcement to release will have been less than 2 years, aka rushed.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

 

[Panda Rin]

October 23rd. Gut feeling, but I think Bethesda will market it based on the Great War, especially considering they showed it in the trailer.

I'm about 74% confident in this date.

EDIT: Scratch that. I guarantee it will come out the 23rd.

 

[PAULINK]

waiting for the limited edition, will buy.

 

[Bluth54]

Will this be the greatest year for RPGs?

Persona 5?
Fallout 4?
Bloodborne + Expansion?
Witcher 3?

You forgot Pillars of Eternity.

 

[OnionPowder]

Because from announcement to release will have been less than 2 years, aka rushed.

Skyrim was 11 months from announcement to release

You forgot Pillars of Eternity.

So will the critics at the end of the year

Ooooh, good call. I like this prediction. That's a Friday. So midnight on Friday, October 23. It's on my calendar!

Edit: Requesting a vacation day for 10/23...

 

[labaronx]

If it releases this year i will buy 2 copies. Fingers crossed

 

[CrunchyFrog]

If this actually releases in 2015...hell of a year for story based RPGs. Pillars, Witcher 3, FO4, Xenoblade X, Torment (maybe)...wow.

Not a chance in hell Torment releases this year, but yeah it's still a solid calendar. Continuing on from the magnificence of late last year with Shadowrun Returns, Wasteland 2, Divinity OS

 

[RoKKeR]

Would almost be too much to handle, but I'd be down!

 

[migh_and_highty]

So 2016?

^

 

[forest]

Not if they're already rolling out cross-promo stuff....

That's what I thought. Someone corrected me on another website as if I should have known it was an Alpha so forgive my ignorance.

Ok, i'm convinced this is 2015, but when? Fall or Holiday 2015?

 

[Sotha_Sil]

Shit.... Bloodborne, Pillars of Eternity, Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, MGS5, and now Fallout 4?

The salt in GOTY threads will be amazing.

Don't forget that Domino's quote guys! lol

Its 2015.

 

[rjinaz]

I'm surprised Bethesda think they can keep the 2015 release a secret until e3 considering how they have apparently already told retailers and advertising partners (not too mention their own website regardless if it has now been removed).

 

[Karspankey]

Don't forget that Domino's quote guys! lol

Its 2015.

What Dominos quote?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I see that Best Buy has the game up for preorder now.
