Bethesda registers domain with multiple Fallout 4 references - Polidicks

[QUOTE=purvisdavid1;42863520] Know what I want a fucking Fallout set in China now. Don't care.[/QUOTE] Fallout in China would be so amazing. It's a perfect setting for such a game.

[QUOTE=itisjuly;42863563]Fallout in China would be so amazing. It's a perfect setting for such a game.[/QUOTE] Fallout in China would be better as some sort of short film, not a game. The whole point of Fallout was the whole 1950s overoptimistic american culture in a wartorn wasteland. Without that, its not [I]really [/I]Fallout anymore.

Fallout 4? YESYESYES.

There were mentions earlier about the domain being registered in Poland. A new JavaScript file was added to the page that controls the countdown has references to Poland in it. The last function on the page: [code]function naprawaCzasu(obj){ s = ''; if(obj < 10){ obj = '0' + obj; } return obj; }[/code] Naprawa is a village in Poland and Czasu is the Polish word for time. Other variable names like boxGodzText reference the Polish word for hour, godzina. The only logical explanation is CDProjekt Red is developing Fallout 4. [editline]15:44[/editline] And if you were doubting that the font is the Fallout font, doubt no more. The CSS for the page shows the font is Monofonto, the same font used in the Fallout series. [code]@font-face { font-family: 'Monofonto'; src: url('/css/monofont-webfont.eot'); src: url('/css/monofont-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('/css/monofont-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('/css/monofont-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('/css/monofont-webfont.svg#monofontoregular') format('svg');[/code] Which is also a freely available font so anyone could use it.

Without that, its not [I]really [/I]Fallout anymore.[/QUOTE] I disagree. Of course the games are set in America stuck in the 50's, but why does it only have to be America? Seriously? Hell, we could even say Mexico for a Fallout game and it'd probably have more support then a Chinese Fallout just because you could tie Mexico in with events in the last game due to relatively short distance from CA/NV/AZ. I'd just want a Chinese Fallout so it's a new game creating new material. It could still tie into the other games but be unique as well. Or Fallout Brazil. What happened to South America? Fallout England? It could still work, you just need to apply that atmosphere correctly with the place. Hell Fallout England could work very well because Moriarty from FO3 was the son of an immigrant from the British Isles.

[QUOTE=AJisAwesome15;42862304]there's not a single game i want more than a Fallout 4 not even HL3.[/QUOTE] I'm barely at all excited for Half-Life 3 anymore.

"nono u dont get it, gtas the satirical representation of america, you would kill the game if you take it out" not at all people, you would only expand the games universe

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;42863897]I'm barely at all excited for Half-Life 3 anymore.[/QUOTE] I still get that feeling when something does come out for it though we'll be surprised. [editline]14th November 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=autodesknoob;42863908]i get the same response when i suggest a mexico or brazil gta setting. "nono u dont get it, gtas the satirical representation of america, you would kill the game if you take it out"[/QUOTE] People don't want to look at third world satirical copies. I think a GTA where you could travel from states the size of GTA 5's San Andreas to similar sized levels in Mexico or Colombia and also to Vice and Liberty Cities would be fucking BAD ASS. Mexico and Colombia fit in perfectly. Could even do Brazil, Chile, and Argentina.

[QUOTE=Doritos-pope;42862927]Thinking about it, FO3 had a fair share of bible quotes. Remember the "this was your mothers favourite bible quote: alpha and omega. The beggining, and the end" line at the start? I think this further helps that point along IMO. Edit: here's a link: [url]http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Zechariah+11%3A12-13&version=NIV[/url][/QUOTE] hell one entire dlc of fallout nv was you coming across a bunch of mormons teaching the savage tribes the wonders of the bible in zion national park

[QUOTE=tom1029;42862080]I really wish people would stop with this shit. Fallout 3 was an great game and Bethesda did an amazing job. Obsidian also did a good job with New Vegas using the tools Bethesda gave them. New Vegas was great and maybe better than 3 but face it, Bethesda did most the work and NV wouldn't exist if 3 didn't.[/QUOTE] Oh my gosh thank you I've been saying this for so long and nobody listens

Or Fallout: "Still in America because not doing so is dumb and why not actually? It works fine and there's a ton of America to go without crossing formerly tread territory if we so wanted, but we don't" edition. I'd pay for that!

[QUOTE=Mingebox;42863411]I say that like someone with the ability to recognise basic themes and motifs.[/QUOTE] And repetitive one at that. I would prefer exploring the backstory of china, ussr or mainland europe over the same theme we've had the past 4 games. But if fallout fanboys want keep encouraging a repetitive franchise, go ahead. I'll agree to disagree.

The domain is registered with GoDaddy. Sorry, but it's most likely illegitimate.

If the main character is referred to as "The Survivor", maybe they were apart of a tribe or something and they all got slaughtered. Que the revenge story etc.

I mean. Try to seriously sit down and realize how stupid what you want is. a fallout: China game has no fallout lore at all. Vault-Tec isn't there, which means no vaults, which for starters is a good 60% of the games foundation. Then there's the whole social experiment side to it, which has its source in western culture. We've got an entire continent that's been beaten back to the dark ages and is slowly progressing towards the 1800s again. Do we really want to see a whole game about Chinese honor and other mindnumbingly stupid bullshit that goes along with that? Fratricide, suicide and pride everywhere. Nothing else. So yeah. If you were to do that, it'd stop being fallout and start being an entirely different world where a ton of the same bombs happened to land. You've essentially raped the franchise. No one would play it.

[QUOTE=cdr248;42863398]The only thing I don't like about MrBTongue is that he said Skyrim was better than Oblivion.[/QUOTE] I liked skyrim better than oblivion too but that's because older games to me don't have the same feel as newer games. Newer games lose sight of what it means to be that game but older games don't feel as refined. [QUOTE=Atlascore;42863146]You don't understand anything about the Fallout series, if you want a post apocalyptic game set outside of America Fallout is the wrong series to look at.[/QUOTE] Imagine if they took the British out of Doctor Who or Sherlock Holmes Take the western stylization out of, of lets say, Samurai Champloo or Full Metal Alchemist, or the absolute worst of all, or modernized the ideals and style of robin hood, god forbid, making him some kind of modern day super hero set in Nottingham time. it's where all the charm lies. Fallout is am american apocalypse and that's that. If it were anywhere else, it'd be shitty. Same with Metro and Russia, Stalker and Chernobyl, Doom and the middle of hell.

[quote=borisvdb]But if fallout fanboys want keep encouraging a repetitive franchise, go ahead. I'll agree to disagree. [/quote] [QUOTE=Koleskab;42863967]Go play stalker then. Good riddance.[/QUOTE] lol there's no need to get defensive over this, it's an opinion that's being freely discussed, not "HOLY FUCK THE NEXT GAME BETTER BE THIS OR FUCK IT."

[QUOTE=Starship;42861876]Bridgeport in the US perhaps? [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridgeport,_Connecticut[/url][/QUOTE] I don't know, they can't really set a Fallout game in Bridgeport, it's already too run-down for a Fallout game.

[QUOTE=Hat-Wearing Man;42861887]Please God may it not run on Gamebryo.[/QUOTE] Gamebryo is an engine that's extremely easy to mod. It's a good thing that Bethesda games run on it.

look forward to see those racketeers release a overhyped unfinished game just so the consumers have to make and finish the game themselves

[QUOTE=ForDaNords;42864052]Gamebryo is an engine that's extremely easy to mod. It's a good thing that Bethesda games run on it.[/QUOTE] You can still make an engine that's, you know, easy to mod. It's not exactly something that happens rarely because of a blue moon, it was pretty much designed so.

[QUOTE=ForDaNords;42864052]Gamebryo is an engine that's extremely easy to mod. It's a good thing that Bethesda games run on it.[/QUOTE] It doesn't have to be a garbage engine from over a decade ago to be easy to mod. Cryengine 3 is easy to mod too.

[QUOTE=ForDaNords;42864052]Gamebryo is an engine that's extremely easy to mod. It's a good thing that Bethesda games run on it.[/QUOTE] easy to mod at the cost of being super shitty

[QUOTE=Koleskab;42864024]I mean. Try to seriously sit down and realize how stupid what you want is.[/QUOTE] Alright I didn't want to. [QUOTE=Koleskab;42864024]a fallout: China game has no fallout lore at all.[/QUOTE] Because you're not seeing it at all. The development of countermeasures to power armor and stealth technology? Chinese. More insight would be cool. Old Chinese computer systems with information like the ones from FO3 aren't unfeasible, China should have it's own indigenous computer or a counterfiet copy of the vault tec computers, either or would work and fit. Insight to Chinese plans for America could be made clear in a Chinese Fallout. [QUOTE=Koleskab;42864024]Vault-Tec isn't there, which means no vaults, which for starters is a good 60% of the games foundation.[/QUOTE] This would make no sense either because no matter what, you're missing the fact that they're both countries viewing their annihilation by nuclear war as inevitable, China had to have had their own vault or fallout shelter system. Maybe not to the extent as the American's, but I don't doubt they could have tried, it's feasible. Quit rushing to conclusions. [QUOTE=Koleskab;42864024]Then there's the whole social experiment side to it, which has its source in western culture. [/QUOTE] It's Communist China after nuclear decimation, a country that held dominion over its people gone. You could play on the fact that because of it's break up the freedom to be who you wish is open and this allows different peoples in the fractured China to band due to different beliefs and etc. You could have remnants of the Communist government, nationalists(Free China/Taiwan, not Chinese pride btw), anarchists(raiders, slavers, etc), and other different people and all the other weird shit that Fallout games have come with like mutated flora and fauna. [QUOTE=Koleskab;42864024]We've got an entire continent that's been beaten back to the dark ages and is slowly progressing towards the 1800s again.

If you were to do that, it'd stop being fallout and start being an entirely different world where a ton of the same bombs happened to land. You've essentially raped the franchise. No one would play it.[/QUOTE] And this last bit I don't understand. You don't have to touch upon any of this topics because just like most things in an alternative universe, they can be changed and skewed. Plus it's the same thing with America, just with guns and laser/plasma guns and shit like that, and China wouldn't have guns and laser/plasma weapons either? You saying this is basically an opinion, just like what I have listed too, but I've actually listed solid reasons why I would support a Chinese Fallout game and all I've read from you is kinda just "I don't want different, even a little bit." and honestly, you can have that opinion, and I'll have mine. And since we're talking about Fallout games in America, what would be a good place to put a fallout game? Because you could do the Midwest like what Fallout Tactics did but I dunno how that would work out honestly.

Something about this seems really fishy to me. Do sites like this normally go live while the source code is still being updated? That and what there is of the site seems kind of unprofessional. I want to believe but I'm not gonna get too excited until its confirmed that the site belongs to Bethesda / Zenimax.

[QUOTE=l337k1ll4;42864223]It doesn't have to be a garbage engine from over a decade ago to be easy to mod. Cryengine 3 is easy to mod too.[/QUOTE] When I said that it's a good thing Bethesda games run on it, I meant with how shitty they are with developing games. They would never use Cryengine or any engine from another company. If they made a far better engine that was actually stable and could provide good visuals, it wouldn't be modifiable.

[QUOTE=J!NX;42862672]more on the difference of 3 VS NV [video=youtube;wvwlt4FqmS0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvwlt4FqmS0[/video][/QUOTE] I like how he asks where the settlers of megaton get their food [B]as he's looking at a trader right outside the city gate.[/B]

I want Fallout 4 being set in Boston/MIT area with the same lone wanderer from Fallout 3 being the main character.

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;42862195]Whatever it is, I hoped they learned from their mistakes. And for god sake, Please fucking fill up your cities.

I was so damn disappointed.[/QUOTE] That's not really Obisidian's fault it's more a fault of Bethesda's engine and toolset.
