Fallout 4 - no spoilers, Are the rumors true? Options

[King Of Beasts]

Ive heard some rumors about Fallout 4 coming out sometime this year. Is that true, or is it the media just trying to trick us

[SubRosa]

I doubt that they are going to release anything this year. It has only been a year since Skryim, and as far as I know it is the same people who work on both games. I know that Todd Howard was on FO3 for example, and Skyrim is packed with things from FO3. 2014 is when we will probably see FO4.

I have been hearing Baaastan too for the location of the next FO game. That is kind of disappointing. We have been all over the U.S. already. I would have preferred to see something set outside America, like in London. That way they could work in a blue police call box for an easter egg...

Eeeeeh, I don't know. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a Fallout game in Europe, especially in London seeing as that's where I grew up and where I live right now, but the thing that makes Fallout Fallout is the constant sense of Retro Hyper-Americana that permeats it. A Fallout game set in London or somewhere else would probably be a good post-apocalyptic game provided Bethesda don't suffer a complete brainfart, but it wouldn't really be a true Fallout game, I feel.

They'd actually have to create lore for what happened outside the US, which at this point nobody knows. It is a big mystery what happened overseas. Not to mention that London wouldn't be saturated with guns like the USA.

I do see why people love foreign settings though, probably why I enjoy Metro 2033 so much.

This why I would love to see a Fallout game somewhere else. I would love to see what happened to Europe. We know that the Euros were at war with the Middle East over the last drop of oil in the world. But that is it. Did they go all the nuclear cars, nuclear toasters, nuclear toothbrushes... route that America did? Or something completely different?

One of the things about FONV that puts me off is that it is back in almost the same old place again. The NCR, the Great Khans, didn't we do this already? We have had five Fallout games set in America (FO1-03, Tactics, and NV). It feels old and stale now. One American wasteland looks the same as the next. I would like a breath of fresh air in the franchise, rather than more of the same old thing.
