thesurvivor2299.com was a hoax. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Tacooo;43097146][url]http://thesurvivor2299.com/fuckyou.php[/url] Glorious.[/QUOTE] I am okay with this now.

Fucking reddit

Ugh, what a shitshow. All that effort for a "haha gotcha hope the real game is out soon!" The person behind this site is a fucking dick. That's all there is to it.

all the people in the fallout speculation thread rabidly defending that it could still be true after it was pointed out to be so obviously fake. this feels good

what did this even accomplish

[QUOTE=Tacooo;43097146][url]http://thesurvivor2299.com/fuckyou.php[/url] Glorious.[/QUOTE] Oh god I love this song

A very impressive fake nonetheless.

had a feeling it wasn't real as soon as the counter got nine more days added to it the first time it was supposed to be done

sorry, but that guys a genius

Back when the site popped up it looked fake. I have no idea why people were so sure, everything about it just screamed of being a fabrication, and that's completely outside of the fact that it was registered in an unrelated country on a service that Bethesda doesn't use.

I wonder if the actual Fallout devs knew about this and were laughing the whole time [editline]7th December 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Camundongo;43097437]Didn't help that Bethesda decide to dick around as well and not confirm or deny the site and vaguely hint something might be happening, instead of just going 'nah it's not us'.[/QUOTE] I guess they just wanted to wait till the end of the timer to see what would happen and not ruin the fun?

[QUOTE=Shriker;43097512]Wasn't the website registered through GoDaddy? Isn't that pretty suspicious from the start?[/QUOTE] Yeah, but then someone pointed out that Blizzard also used GoDaddy, and that it was registered to some guy at a marketing firm who did stuff like this, so it was still up in the air.

[QUOTE=Shriker;43097512]Wasn't the website registered through GoDaddy? Isn't that pretty suspicious from the start?[/QUOTE] The part that almost made me consider legitimacy wasn't that it was registered thru GoDaddy, but that some random Polish guy had the infrastructure to support so many people on the site at once

This might have been fake, but there is no reason Bethesda can't reveal something at the VGAs.

When is VGA?

[QUOTE=Take_Opal;43096679]Like I said, Bethesda would never involve "code-cracking" in their advertising for video games. Their audience is not known to be particularly smart people.[/QUOTE]The fallout community cracked most if not all though.

What about the other site?

Fuck man nooooo! I just want another fallout game, on a better engine, is that too much to ask!

I wonder why Bethesda hasn't said anything about 2299 before or now. Pretty much just watched a sinking ship go down and did nothing.

I had a feeling that something wasn't right, especially considering that the site kept referring to the apocalypse as a "nuclear winter".

All the drama in the FO general thread is hilarious.

Kudos to the creators though, it was very elaborate give it that. Either we wait during VGX, or if nothing happens today we just wait until E3 and hope we see FO4 there.

1 little hoax and they're already bitching. They should try being a Half-life fan sometimes

[QUOTE=Aphtonites;43098407]I had a feeling that something wasn't right, especially considering that the site kept referring to the apocalypse as a "nuclear winter".[/QUOTE] I'd just like to call attention to this, since [B]Fallout's timeline was explicitly stated by Chris Avellone to have never suffered a nuclear winter.[/B] I know Bethesda have rewritten things in the past, but I seriously doubt they'd rewrite something so massive and so integral to Fallout's backstory.

[QUOTE=Hatsen;43098539]That AMA is a hoax too :v:[/QUOTE] At least it's channeling the pure butt rage of Reddit.

Tons and tons of people fooled.
