Fallout 4

Why

Do you not know what nuclear winter is?

What is it

Imagine a never ending snowstorm. Temperatures from -20 to -100 the snow is radioactive and never seeing the sun. It never stops snowing. It's almost impossible to survive

First of all, Bethesda is as likely to implement that as they were to implement cold mechanics in Skyrim

Second of all, no, in a nuclear winter the winter isn't actually radioactive, all it means is there's so much soot in the atmosphere that it's basically reversing the greenhouse effect, where the biggest danger lies in famine.

And third, Fallout currently takes place two hundred years after the bombs fell, the soot would have dissipated by then and the climate would be relatively normal, which would make sense since we see civilization thriving as of New Vegas.

I've never read anything that suggests we'd get radioactive snow.

But even besides that, we do know that it wouldn't last 200 years. So unless this is set immediately after the Great War, I don't see it.

Well a nuclear winter only lasts 20 years so it's going to have to be within that range if it's going to be accurate

It would be pretty damn sick if Fallout 4 gets released this year......

Fallout 3 is one of the only sandbox open world games where I explored pretty much all the areas in the map. I loved how the map was big but manageable and filled with interesting things to do.

That's how it was for me in New Vegas.

And I remember being disgusted by a side quest where a family was killed by cannibals and their bodies were in pieces. Very few games disgust me.

New Vegas is in my top 3 all time games.

I want Fallout 4 so bad. Even a watered version of 3 or New Vegas. I just love the shit out of the RPG system. I want it sooooo bad!!!!

Same. It likely would be an instant GOTY winner.

Not with Witcher 3 in contention. It could be a serious contender though.

I didn't like New Vegas as much as Fallout 3. I think Fallout 3 had much more memorable areas to explore.

YouTube video

Just saw the trailer. Totally stoked for this game. I wonder if its Fall 2015...I'm guessing it is because the trailer looks like it has some engine scenes in it.

I wonder what the PC specs are......hopefully not too crazy.

I'm sincerely hoping the voice is only for the trailer and we aren't getting voiced protagonist bullshit.

EDIT: At least the animations look remarkably improved

It probably isn't.

Bethesda games never had voice overs for the character you play. I'm not sure why they would start now.

Because it's what all the cool kids are doing
