Fallout 4 announced with official trailer

People even ported the Morrowind landscape into Skyrim. So I am pretty sure we will be able to at least port the New Vegas landscape into Fallout 4. Then it's all a matter of how the dialogue engine has changed. If it remains similar, we might even be able to simply import the topics from New Vegas, adjust some paths and that's it, we got a bare bone New Vegas in Fallout 4. Shit, I would pre-order Fallout 4 just for toying around with it.

Someone should try to port New Vegas stuff into Skyrim. If this works, I am pretty sure we are good to go here.

Let's not overlook that this is the East Coast. It's definitely looking like a different setting than the Fallout us old-schoolers were looking for... because it kinda sorta is. I ripped on F3 as much as anyone else here (and F2, for that matter...) for its glaring departures in tone and canon, but I reached a point where I realized I had to clear out a little buffer zone for logic where "bitching about them not doing anything new" and "bitching about every new thing they did" overlapped and leave a little room to actually appreciate it when they made moves to distinctify their side of the continent. As a proud member of Team Grognard, I see plenty to be ambivalent about here, but I'm going to wait for the sixteenth before opening the box on Schroedinger's fanboy. A lot of the stuff it initially struck me to complain about is either easily explainable or already has a place or parallel in existing canon.

There's plenty in the trailer I'd specifically like to speculate and/or grumble about, but I'm not going to pick it apart until after coffee, at the very earliest. Composing essay length posts on six square inches of touchscreen is no fun at all.

That's true and I'll hope it remains on the east-coast. Let Bethesda do whatever they want there, for as long as we get a west-coast game by Obsidian.

Sadly its a lot more work for sure. Don't forget the differences between Geckscript and Papyrus. Big difference at mesh system for armors and bodies, new animation system, ... a ton of stuff has to be recreated.

But yes there are people who will work on this monster of a mod (I am one who is that masochistic) if possible.
 
I suppose the reaction here is to be expected.

The trailer got me pretty psyched up, rumors are the protagonist was cryogenically frozen .
 
Well, it looks like a sequel to Fallout 3 alright.

Damn it, I can already tell it's going to be a mediocre to acceptable game that all the casuals will love and we'll all hate.

Also, just checked the trailer. The guy in the flashback is definitely the new Vault-Dweller, looks like there's some cryo-freeze plot. How fucking dumb.

Damn it.

Just throwing out some speculation regarding Fallout 4:

More linear story than NV
Possible multi-character like GTAV
Chryofroze character w/ flashbacks
Semblance of government
Civil-rights issues that parallel current times
Mad Blade Runner references

Blast away

I get the speculation of things like flashbacks, and linear story (if only for the voice acting aspect) but where did mulch-prtotagonists and civil issues come from?

which one?

Man, the overwhelming negativity here is off putting.

I agree. I don't like the trailer, either, but bad trailer doesn't mean it will be a bad game, especially that it was made outside Beth. I'm not saying it will be good, because it probably won't be. But wait until you see some gameplay. Then you can bash it all you want. Damn, I'll probably bash it, too.

I thought I'm one of the most diehard F3 haters here (although I'm still kinda new), but even hatred shouldn't be this blind.

Dogmeat looks wrong. It's not the dog I remember. Even in F3 it looked more like in the original games. Where is my Dogmeat, goddammit? What have you done to him, Beth...
 
Everyones talking about graphics and visuals in the trailer. I feel that those are fine, and it's hard to tell much about them anyway. The big question mark here should be - VOICED CHARACTER. A voiced character is a decent/interesting choice for an rpg, provided that it is a story driven game and has a good voice actor. I think there is a pretty clear consensus even amongst bethesda fans, that story is not their strong point, and neither is dialogue. Just imagine, hearing your character constantly spewing the most stupid dialogue lines you ever heard (previously only read) and on top of that, potentialy only having to choose from a "mass effect like" dialogue wheel - red for something angry, blue for something good, grey for something neutral. This opens up a new world of possibilities in trying to decipher the most unstupid thing your character might say, depending on the color you might choose in the dialogue wheel. And on top of that your character sounds like Todd Howard.

We're just not getting suckered into the hype machine that Bethesda likes to build.

It's gonna be mediocre, a true sequel to Fallout 3. Calling it now.

The trailer itself was underwhelming, and while some of the stuff looked neat (City design, Protectron design.) a lot of it looked not so great and it didn't feel very "Fallout". It felt like Fallout 3, not 1/2/NV
 
You guys all do realize your not looking at the FALLOUT 4 game itself but a trailer that was created to tease the game. We don't know what kind of mechanics are actually in the game or if the game itself will look waaaaay different. BTW just because someone has a voice in a trailer that wasn't even made by Bethesda, doesn't mean they are going to have a voice in the game.

Ignore it, they're just trying to look cool by being negative and anti establishment.

Secretly they can't wait to play.

The only one being anti establishment here is you. You're trying to be edgy by saying the exact opposite than the majority (on NMA).

Of course it is. It's Bethesda we're talking about. They're specialists in captivating mediocrity. Yes their titles are playable and have their moments but it's ridiculous to call us out on our very legitimate critic.

How does it feel Fallout 3?

Fallout 3 felt green, felt like the nukes were detonated just yesterday, everyone irradiated, everyone dying and had dumb dialogue and dumb story that didn't make you attached to it.

The trailer looks very different than anything Fallout I have ever seen.

They confirmed the trailer is utilizing ingame technology and graphics.
 
About this cryo-freezing plot, I actually don't think it's a bad thing. It would actually kinda fit the Fallout tone.

Just kicking an idea around, maybe just a past/present element (does look like the guy by the crib could be the same dude in the vault suit later.

Civil-rights: Blade Runner had these components, I think it's going to be a big influence. There's definitely prior groundwork for this regarding human/ghoul relations - why not toss in androids to the mix? There are massive civil-rights debates going on regarding *take your pick* - I could see this playing out in the game in some capacity.
 
The trailer was made by the people who were working on Silent Hills, dood got in trouble for putting it up on linkedin
