Airships? Airships?! AIRSHIPS! Goddammit, alongside with Vertibirds.
Now I don't hate airships and I can imagine that someone would re invent them again at some point, but you know they will go crazy with this shit.
Why not rebuild cars, trucks, and busses and such first.

Of all the things in there, THAT bothers you most?

There was other stuff but this stuck with me a lot. Seems they are going for some air steam punk piratey atmosphere now.
 
Well at least there was no Threedog right? I mean it could be much worse. There was also no Brotherhood and those Enlist posters seem to suggest that Enclave is not going to be completely cartoony villainous.
And I loved the airship, I mean there should be more of them in video games and in real life.
And its nice that they are going for their own art style, not that I like it. And thats about it, yeah.

I mean overall impressions, unbiased by my love of originals 6/10
 
okay, I watched it again, with no excitement this time.

I noticed some things that really bother me:
- bobblehead (plz not this shit again)
- the town in 1:54 - I'm sure it will be a lazy, small, closed town with 11 inhabitants, sorry
- this town looks silly
- that ship... another ship-town?
- graphics (aside from the very first scene) are really unpleasant and you know, they will look worse in the actual game, at least before the mods come in
- BoS and vertibirds... well, we all knew this was going to happen, but still...

Second impression: yeah, I expect a shitty Failout 4, although I might be wrong. I just hope there will be less stupid and silly F3-style stuff.

I hope that prewar sequence in the trailer doesn't mean we are gonna have another intro sequence that goes on forever with every new run where we start as a prewar boy and then end up fucking our wife until we become the protagonist....
 
Pros:
- Seems there's more civilization than in FO3, could be post-post-apocalyptic
- Graphics are somewhat improved
- Art style ain't bad - similar to FO3, but that's not a bad thing
- That modified PA looks cool
- Boston...well, it's East Coast, so Bethesda won't rape West Coast and all its assets, so that's a good thing.

Cons:
- Airship...what the fuck...Bioshock Infinite much?
- PA and Vertibirds - if these two are in any way related to Enclave and BoS, then this will definitely be a steaming pile of shit. They could be present and unrelated to the two, which is okay, I guess
- Setting looks like Great War was 30 years ago...better than in FO3, but if it set after that game (as we assume), then fuck it, it still doesn't make sense. That fucking fence is still standing, for fuck's sake! Don't get me started on the crib...
- Instead of greenish we've now got bluish filter...
- Lore rape a plenty, or so it seems
- Airship
- Again, the protagonist is from the Vault - this could be a pro, in a sense, but in my opinion, it's been done to death - more diversity won't hurt
- Super Mutants...could be a pro, but I suspect will get more Super Orcs here
- Nuclear detonation? Again? I hope that was just for the trailer.
- No, I don't think that's Ron Perlman
- Another A Boy and His Dog/Mad Max/whatever dog + guy combination...come on...
- VOICED PROTAGONIST?! FUCK YOU BETHESDA FUCK YOU
 
It all makes sense now - a voiced character = dialogue wheel (with neutral, angry, loving responses).

Is this a prequel?

Of course it has enclave and vertabirds.

Those where flashbacks to before the nukes so not really Enclave. And Vetabirds has been in pretty much every game but F1 and FT?

It's looks pathetic. FO3 fanboy's dream. Fuck this shit.


Also, no Ron Perlman. Fuck it twice.

It was underwhelming indeed.. But so far it is only a teaser so my hope is not gone yet.

Fuel is hard to come by remember? Might be easier to make airships even if i really don't like em.

Yeah, this appears to confirm our every worst nightmare. Even the graphics suck donkey balls. Will probably sell like hot cakes.
At the very least, I am no longer hyped and can finally concentrate on studying. Gotta write that essay until Monday midnight.
Click to expand...

It's a teaser and not a gameplay trailer... Might still be ass but if the game is good/decent who cares?


On another note.. The hype did die down a bit but i won't fully pass judgement just yet.. But if the main char is really talking in game someone should be fired or fired at.
 
It's all an open center
Opens up and lets the wind lift him away
It doesn't have to feel water
It's just a place that feels right with him
Kinda like the way you're breathing
I kinda like the way you keep looking away
Would you like to glide on
Slide a mile six inches at a time on Howard's dick

There's a shyness found in reason
Apprehensive influence swallow away
You seem to feel abysmal take it
then you're careful grace for sure
Kinda like the way you're breathing
Kinda like the way you keep looking away
Would you like to climb on
Climb on my six inches and go down on Howard's dick

Took you out in the back of the toolshed
Put it right on top of your forehead
Took you out in the back of the toolshed
Now you know what you're fuckin with... Howard's dick!
 
I'll buy it. Looks cool.

I won't expect a good story though.

Specially with BoS + Enclave eyebot.

Also, does anyone recognize the city?

Maybe Boston?

Vault 111 = close to DC or in DC.
 
Wait, Supermutants? I didn't see those and I rewatched the trailer twice. I saw Feral Ghouls and Death Claws.
 
That modified PA looks cool

I agree, it does. But F3 PA also looked cool in the trailers.

Instead of greenish we've now got bluish filter...

They used green, orange, now blue, what's next? My bet is on red.

VOICED PROTAGONIST?! FUCK YOU BETHESDA FUCK YOU

bye bye role-playing

Anyone else feel that this could be taking place in Disneyland?

One of the "towns" actually could be a postapo-disneyland. But shh, don't give them ideas.

Don't know how you can have any hope of that after the airship trailer.

I used to think the whole "but what do they eat" thing was dumb, but now I realize that is something that really bothered me about 3 compared to NV. You walk around and nothing feels real, there's no purpose to anything. I'm sure this game will be more of the same, more Little Lamplights and Superhero alleys or whatever.

I really hope Obsidian will come up with another Fallout game 2 years after this one but I don't think it will happen. I mean, what would you do if you were Bethesda and people were asking for a different company who does their job better?
Click to expand...
By large it depends on Bethasda release timeline. It take more than 2 years to make a game, so depending on their predictions of how well FO4 will be received, they are likely to subcontract someone to pinch in a game between their major releases, who will be using their engine for FO4.

Also while I know what you meant by "better job", I wouldn't worry about Obsidian taking offense.. After aren't the deliver AAA hotbuns and wasn't on the brink of closing its gates until recently..

I am definitely watching my regular youtubers for this. If I see no real Role playing or branching sidequests ala New Vegas on the first hours then this will be a steam sale purchase if at all.
