So they are announcing that they will be announcing the game in a week and a half? I just love corporations. It's like the soft opening vs. grand opening in Oceans 13.

When is opening night?
July the 3th.
Got fireworks the stroke of midnight the whole charade.
Are we going in now? It's already open.
No, it's a soft opening.
To test the place before the grand opening.
Yeah it's kinda like a out of town preview on the town.
Soft opening? Grand opening?
When they opened the Flamingo one day it was closed the next day it was open.
End of story.

I wonder if any of that was actual gameplay footage? Obviously the pre-war stuff was all just artwork done for the trailer. But a lot of the other stuff looked like it might have been rendered in the game itself.

I like what they’ve shown of the setting. This is the first time I’ve been excited about a Fallout game.

[hazmick]

I saw dogs, deathclaws, and power armour. Everything seems to be in order.

Bit strange to have a voiced character in a trailer though. Where's my silent protagonist?

I saw December 31, 2015 as a release date

Maybe, but my son and I were wondering if they are going to have us Player's experience the initial drop of bombs and having to get into the vault (111). Like maybe we start off in that house and have to run up that hill to the vault with the crowds - maybe as that baby in the crib or something. Then maybe have a time lapse like they did when we were babies in Fallout 3; then we have to emerge (or something).


And it looked a lot like Boston to me, the water was to the east of the land; old time-y ships in the harbor, etc. And the architecture of the houses most def looked Bostonian.


Did anyone recognize any landmarks in that vid? I didn't, but haven't been to Boston before.

I wondered about that too. Well, most of it was the radio announcer's voice; and they always have the "War never changes" in the trailers. But deathclaws, and they were looking at the power armor as if it was a relic of the past, which in light of the radio broadcast might mean a new battle - especially with the starships overhead in this one.

According to some folks on the internet, there were some Boston landmarks. That means nothing to me but I gather there were a lot of people hoping for Boston.

I didn't see the Stump anywhere. Wait a moment, I think they might have meant the other Boston.

Paul Revere statue, Old Ironsides, and that gold domed building that I forget what it is. I'm sure other people can identify the ballpark, but they all look pretty similar to me.

WOO HOO! Finally someone who can point the Boston landmarks out to me! Thank you, Thank you! I was going to Google Boston and dig around till i found some similar scenes, lol. All I knew was the old time-y ships and the Boston Harbor; and is the Liberty Bell there? I can't remember for some reason.

[Grits]

The Liberty Bell is in Philly, so I’m glad I didn’t spot that in the trailer!

I’m super excited that it’s Boston.


I’m not going to worry about player voices at this point. I took that to be a way of getting the war line into the trailer.

I've been rooting for Boston since those documents were leaked in 2013. It sounded too legit, and so Kotaku thought or they wouldn't have risked posting it as a news article.

I don't know why I couldn't remember about where the Liberty Bell was, how embarrassing! Thank you for letting me know, lol.

One voice that I heard we will hear is 3 Dog's. I am glad of that, I liked hearing him in the background of my game, lol.










Oh, I'll bet you start out as the baby in that house and then get to go back in after the bombs drop and explore the rubble of your own former home!

[Callidus Thorn]

It looked like that baby was outside the vault with it's mother when the bomb went off.

Anyway, just a few thoughts...

Looking at the trailer, looks like the Enclave are back again, possibly more prominent than they were in Fallout 3.

Then there's the question of the power armour, since there are two different sets seen: one in the vertibird(?), the other a rebuilt relic(the shoulders are different).

Brotherhood of Steel resistance in an Enclave dominated area possibly?

And it doesn't look like the area was hit too badly either. Seems like there's been a lot of rebuilding there too.

[Darkness Eternal]

Fallout! Nice!

So... Is cannibalism in again?

These are some great observations, you have a real eye for detail!

What is that strange meat you are eating? GAAAAAAH!!!!

[Kiln]

I can hardly wait. Fallout is probably my favorite game series in existence. Guess I'll have to get an Xbox One now.

[mALX]

I wonder if they will have a 'Field of Dreams' reference in Fenway Park - like Archibald "Moonlight" Graham; or "Go the Distance."

[mALX]

Oh, and maybe the dog is part of a quest to get him as a companion; where either he brings you to your former home or you find it and he is there (because he was the one that went to the empty crib!)

[haute ecole rider]

I've never played Fallout. Any of them. Post-Apocalyptic series with mutants and zombies and rusty malfunctioning mechanix never appealed to me all that much.

But OMG! The DOG! If dogs are rendered like that in-game, I just might get Fallout IV just for the DOG!

PS I'm very partial to GSDs simply because my first best friend had a most awesome GSD who loved to greet me with muddy paws on my shoulders and slobbery tongue on my face whenever I came over to the house. Kerri and Babe were part of 4H and did very well in the dog obedience classes at the County Fairs. Kerri used ASL with Babe (she was deaf like me). They shared the same joie de vivre and I adored the both of them. I miss them both, and am always looking for Babe in every GSD I meet.

And this Fallout DOG could be Babe reincarnated!

Wait, you wrote a Sci-Fi story that reminded me strongly of the Broken Steel questline in Fallout 3; and you wrote it BEFORE the Fallout 3 game came out!

So read that story you wrote again, and you will want to play!
