Update: It looks like Fallout 4 might be releasing in 2015.
While nothing has been confirmed at this point, multiple vendors including GameStop and Amazon have a placeholder December 31, 2015 release date for the game. Bethesda’s own storefront has a “TBA 2015” listing for Fallout 4, adding even more credence to a possible release this year.
However given the quality of the footage we saw in the trailer, this is a bit alarming. While the game has dealt out a pure wave of exultation to the gaming world, the visual fidelity of the gameplay footage wasn’t so good, leaving many to believe that it was pre-rendered.
Bethesda might need more time to polish the game, and let’s hope Fallout 4 doesn’t get mired in the traditional pre-order-and-delay scheme that’s plaguing the industry.
Original story is as follows.
Fallout 4 has been officially revealed by Bethesda. Yes, it’s real, and yes it’s completely and utterly amazing. It’s an exciting to be alive, people.
The Fallout 4 reveal trailer showcases our first look at post-apocalyptic Boston with real-time gameplay footage, displaying a ton of familiar icons like the Brotherhood of Steel as well as fresh new locales like makeshift cities. We’re privy to a flashback scene that shows how the War started, and we also get to see a flying ship which the protagonist rides at one point in the trailer.
Yes that’s right. A flying ship in Fallout. Oh, the feels. Below you can check the footage in all of its glory.
Taking place in Boston, Massachusetts, Fallout 4 looks to be something different than we’d expect. The world isn’t drab and ghostly; it blazes with color, with vibrant pinks and oranges contrasting the dead, forgotten cities.
Imagine the world on fire with autumnal color, a world that’s alive despite being broken and fractured. A world where live and time goes on, and nature reclaims the skyscrapers and cracked roads of man. And imagine flying throughout the skies of Boston in your very own airship.
To commemorate the launch trailer, we’ve taken an exhaustive array of screenshots that can be found below. I think these images capture the very spirit of not only the footage, but the new game itself.
