Bethesda: 'Fallout 4 before 2018'

Must be nice knowing that your first game that isn't even out yet will do well enough to merit another one being made.

I heart Bethesda

i used to juggle jagged alliance 2 and fallout 2. those were good days

Not one for RPG's, but the only Bethesda game i remember playing was Skynet. Ahead of its time in some ways, but damn, what a piece of shit.

I was going to comment, and say by 2018, we will all be able to play the game by stepping out side, no console necessary.

Joystiq beat me to it...

I love bethesda but if they do a Fallout sequel before an Oblivion sequel I will be bummed.

Then we can live our own Fallout adventures! Wee!

You can laugh now (I did), but remamber a certain nuking Duke that is forever.

The world "as we know it." That does not mean everything is going to cease existing. Doesn't mean it's not, either, but you have to look at the wording.

wow, great, so many friens of mine @ sportinglove.c o m love to play these games with me. oh, great.....

I wouldn't mind a ten year wait if they release Fallout Tactics 2 or the secret hush-hush Fallout MMO in-between.

I kinda expected it to release before 2018 ¬_¬ Does it really take ten years to reapeat the process they did but add more? Unless they were switching to new console systems of the future.

My husband -loves- the first Fallout and still picks it up occasionally. I think he'll probably hate 3. :/

I thought that meant the story would take place before 2018, because actually talking about a game released 10 years from now... is kinda weird.

In other news, Starcraft III due before 2025

I am still waiting for fallout 3 because this isn't it, like everyone else is saying, its oblivion with guns.

I do have to say. I wish that it was a little 'less' like Oblivion. I mean, its not the ridiculous zoom right up to your face stuff, but there is zooming none-the-less. It still seems a little stifled with it not being where you can look around while talking.
Also, what is up with the walking dead? Like...no skin or lungs? That's more fantasy based. No matter what kind of freaky bomb you're dropping no one will realistically be walking around like that. I would have appreciated a slightly more realistic approach to the enemies.

2018... be thankful it's not Valve time people :P

fallout tactics woot!!

Fallout 8 before 2096

I so dont trust Bethesda with this series, they seem to be doing everything the can to change fallout into something eles...

Bethesda could have at least brought over the Black Isle Studios people..

Good on them I say but lol at the people bashing them.

I have played Morrowind for 6, going on 7 years and also played Oblivion since it was released. Oblivion as a RPG, holds the #1 spot...probably until Fable II lands on the shelves...then again a sequel to a game that lasted 12 hours, may not have a chance to stand against a mighty free roaming RPG such as Oblivion.

However, when Oblivion comes up against Morrowind, Morrowind generally wins even though it doesn't have graphics or improved systems, that is because everyone loves the darkness and the storyline. Microsoft forced Beth Soft to rush Oblivion and so the storyline was bland...there was no heart and soul in it unlike Morrowind.

Fallout 3 however does and TwEE, everyone has different ideas, everyone does things differently. When a game series changes hands, it changes and that has happened here.

Fallout as a series has been the same all the way through the games as in style and layout...that was 10 years ago back in 1998. We are at 2008 where technology has advanced greatly...why would you not take the chance to use that technology to make a great game series into an even better series?

"Black Rock" studios... how about Black Isle was the one that developed Fallout? Let's not forget who started this whole thing folks. Anyway Fallout 3 is a worthy sequel, and when the nuclear war of 2018 happens I'm going to cannibalize all you f***s. Drink my irradiated piss!
