It appears that Bethesda will announce a new Fallout game soon. A teaser image and a TwitchTV stream have been launched and there is no doubt they are related to the Fallout series.

Although we don’t know anything more about this Fallout game, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier claimed that he didn’t want to spoil the announcement, however, it’s something new and something different.

We expect Bethesda to reveal more details soon, so stay tuned for more!

    1. I agree with you that it needs a new engine. After I upgraded to a 144hz monitor just how broken the game engine was became clear to me. Objects flew in the air wildly because the FPS was tied to the physics engine (WHY?!), and in Fallout 4 you would get stuck in terminals if the FPS was too high. Just… give up that engine already or upgrade it to the point where it’s not basically from 2007, when in 2007 it was still trash.

      1. Are you kidding me?
        Haven’t touched Fallout 4 yet, But is that still an issue in their games?
        I remember having those same problems in Skyrim years and years ago, Had to use unofficial patches/mods,tweaks to stop things flying around on 144hz monitor.

        1. It is without a shadow of a doubt an issue in FO4. Even better yet I forgot to mention something I just remembered. If you have a high framerate, the dialogue will play without pauses and play one over the other. For instance, let’s say an NPC has a voice line like

          “So I heard you were coming down here tonight”

          Followed by a pause and then a voice line of

          “It’s not safe here, Bill should have told you to stay away”

          It’ll sound like “So I heard you were coming down here tonightit’snot safe here, bill should have told you to stay away” which for me totally breaks the immersion, forcing me to play at 75 fps to enjoy. Skyrim NEVER had this issue even with a crazy framerate… I truly have no idea what they’re doing with that engine behind the scenes.

          On the bright the vast majority of items flying around the room has been cut down drastically in FO4. Fix one thing and break another, pray for a modder that’s the word to yo mother.

        1. I have explain it so many times i am too tired to do so again.

          From a story and lore perspective bethesda has removed everything that is fallout. Fallout is about a post apocalyptic society war never changes nor do humans. Greed corruption, alliances, its all about choices. Roleplaying, its serious dark scary. The writer said it specifically that he writes about things that scare him.

          Bethesda on the other hand sees fallout as a open world game that you can go everywhere and have fun, it doesnt rely on choices it doesnt have serious characters or dark themes. You just run around shooting stuff with 50s music.

          The old fallout games were tactical and you had limited resources, low ammo low health, the new fallout game have an abundance of resources and its an action game.

          The towns in the old fallout games made sense, the towns in the new fallouts towns are ridiculous a town build around a atomic bomb? Dangerous, no water, no farming, etc etc.

          In the old fallouts you had to spent alot of time to be able to fight super mutants and get energy weapons and power armors and fight deathclaws right away.

          The old fallout games had choices you could solve most quest without combat, because they arerole playing games, the new ones are repetitive grindfest shooters like borderlands.

          Bethesda doesnt get fallout, with fallout 3 they even managed to mirror the brotherhood of steel insignia, they couldnt even copy it properly from the old games. Not to mention how they used the old model of the power armor because they thought it looked more retro and cool despite the fact its an older model and inferior. They didnt get brotherhood of steel right, they potray them as the white knights of the wasteland while they are more like loonies who isolate themselves and keep out of sight.

          Bethesda doesnt get fallout, they wanted to make a oblivion with guns, casual stupid, with horrible dialogues and npcs that you go around and shooter samey enemies and grind sinking time in repetition without any quality or meaning. They see the game as a casual open world grindy bulletspongy shooter with a 50s retro sci fi setting.

          1. I totally get what you’re saying and agree 100% with the first part. I do wish too that the series had better writers and locations to explore. You say however that Bethesda doesn’t get Fallout, however they DID get (Purchase) Fallout and now are creating their own vision. The fact of the matter is if you liked the first two fallout’s then play those, the original developer wasn’t financially successful enough to see their vision through obviously so that’s their fault. The games are fun to play, so like anything you’ll have to look past some issues but on the whole the games are great for exploration.

            There is no way Bethesda could make a game as complex as fallout 2 was. They’re working on a fully 3D engine that doesn’t allow the larger and more complex open spaces as an isometric game would. Get with the times and quit crying man, it’s making tons of money because people enjoy them, so feel cool about being the minority who is openly hostile towards FO4 and FO3 #TheResistance!I bet you go to the movies and nit pick the finer details in a summer action flick. What an intellectual! NOT!

    2. Obsidian Studios got shut down. Everyone in the studio died from rattlesnake bites. Strangely coincidental.

  6. People cry about Fallout 4, but despite their flaws every TES and Fallout game is special in their own way. I personally wish they’d announce a new TES game though.

      1. I agree on FO4, i’m still eating my shoe for buying it, and not refunding it in time, skyrim on the other hand i liked a lot, but preferred older tes for many things. Hopefully this’ll be not a new fallout, and hopefully they’ll give us some news regarding tes series.

          1. The stupidity of the story, the many boring missions both main and secondary, the technical mess it was and in part still is.

          2. Agreed with story and SOME boring missions, not all though. The developers of Elderscrolls and Fallout (New devs not old ones) have never been that great at telling compelling stories. You have to go into their games expecting a world filled with things to do and see, which is why a vast majority of players play their games.

            Also on the technical side, if you plan on playing at only 60 FPS it’ll be fine, higher than that will literally break the game. Other than that it runs very smoothly for me so not sure what technical issues you’re having, if it’s bugs then… you might want to think about the history of the developer haha. They do a great job at building compelling worlds to explore and in that they really do a great job, thanks for sharing your opinion!

          3. I didn’t say all missions i said many. Well actually i didn’t expect a story that stupid, so yeah. The fact you are locked at 60 fps is itself a technical problem, it shows you that they kept using the same old buggy and engine they used previously, also have you seen the quality of the textures? I mean that ugliness for a 2015/2016 game? Really? When i played it, it had all kinds of glitch with ragdolls and stuff, it was hilarious, unfortunately i kept going, but if i could revert the time i’d refund it 100% when i could.

          4. My apologies I misread the first part, late nights. The story they did drop the ball on, but the world itself was still very fun to explore. As a matter of fact I think the world building was better than the story and crafting put together. You have to give them credit for trying new things though, it didn’t work out 100% but the heart was there. Sad to hear you didn’t like it, you can play at 90 FPS max on PC so it doesn’t bug out, but higher than that and… you know the rest.

          5. I can see they tried doing something else, but didn’t work out in the end.

          6. Dude, really, we get you’re a Bethesda fan, but at least try to be impartial. After Morrowind, their games have been consistently worse and worse, any CRPG enthusiast can see that.

          7. thats because the guy who is in charge of the story doesnt know anything he is like a casual writer without any specific knowledge while the writer of the old fallouts writes about things that scare him, so it does have an impact.

            Also Todd Howard is a bad GM, he doesnt provide any choices, he wants you to play things in one specific way and the towns are so small, the old head of bethesda criticized t Todd Howard for the small size of the towns in morrowind…it only got worse from there fallout 3 had smaller ones and lets not get into fallout 4 which can be summed up “bethesda is too lazy to build towns, so here have a minecraft building system so you can do it yourself”

          8. You don’t get anything that I don’t hand to you. I am a fan of theirs because name one other developer that make experiences in games that they do (*Crickets*). Their games are awesome, but that’s only because I play games for fun, not to criticize like I’m getting paid for it as you seem to do.

            Saying Morrowind is the downhill point is so silly and the lie has been beaten to death a million times from hipsters like you. Morrowind had tons of issues, even if it had a lot of charm in its world building. Mechanically they keep getting their games better and better with each release. Just because Morrowind was a slow moving poorly animated poorly balanced turd that you liked, doesn’t mean that the games after that were as bad as you cry about.

            I get that it’s popular to complain about games since it makes you feel smarter, but it makes you look like a moron to someone like me who isn’t cripplingly depressed like you are to where they can’t see progress when it’s happening in front of them. I know their flaws, but choose to enjoy the many good parts that are within.

          9. I think Morrowind is a great game, get your teenage emotions under control and read again.

          10. I’m saying Morrowind was the downward point of the series, it got worse from there, AS YOU SAID. Your English teacher must have beaten the hell out of you for poor reading comprehension. Are you a recipient of Affirmative Action by any chance?

          11. Aha, my mistake there.

            In any case, by simply stating that Bethesda’s games have gotten better over time, shows your total lack of:

            1) Taste.
            2) Basic comprehension of CRPG systems.

            You come across as the typical casual gamer that thinks improved graphics = improved game.

          12. also stupid design choices, no more skills and weapon degradation but when you level up enemies have more health points. So enemies do maximum damage initially since weapons dont degrade and skills dont exist, but higher level enemies have more hit points, so the result is a bulletspongy gameplay, especially since there are far less enemy types than the last two games.

            You start the game with a robot a dog, a energy weapon, a power armor a minigun and you kill a deathclaw, then you build a base all in the first 40 minutes, wtf is the point of playing the rest of the game? Grinding, scavanging and killing the same enemies over and over and over again and again so you can kill the same enemies over and over again and again but with the same weapons which have been upgraded to kill the same enemies which have been upgraded as well. Same game but higher numbers.

            PFFFFFFFT. Not to mention how bad the dialogues are.

          13. Totally agreed, in particular i didn’t really understand the fact a power armor which in previous games, even fo3, was a very special equipment you got pretty late into the game, this completely spoiled it.

        2. I am not a elder of scrolls fan, but skyrim is better than fallout 3 and 4, bethesda doesnt know how to do fallout

  10. HEY! Don’t you dare remind me it’s almost 10 years old, 10 years ago feels like last month in my mind.

  12. Awaiting Sp4ctr0 Spencer claiming the new Fallout game will be exclusive to XB1X, and that it will be native 4k(despite it being sub 4k dynamic 1080p-2160p), and that it will be an awesome cinematic 20-30fps! And how the XB1X is superior to a 1080ti with an intel i9 and 32gb ram!

          5. Yes, because that doesn’t make you look at all like a sad, pathetic little snot-nosed basement troll, nope.

            Oh, wait. So long, loser.
