Looks like Bethesda has trademarked Fallout: Shadow of Boston.

Here.
And here.
Also here.

What do you think? Another hoax or real deal?

I wish they slowed down. Currently going through Fallout 2, then I might go for a second playthrough. After that, there's Fallout tactics, Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Not sure if I'll make it to the release of the new one and I wish I would :(

Fallout 2 came out 16 years ago. I would say you have had every opportunity to catch up.

I know, I know. I takes me a really long time to hop into a new game world. I had the Fallout trilogy for ages but never really made the decision to try it out. And once I did few weeks ago I really wanna go through all of the parts as they only seem to get better with time (at least reviews state so).

well maybe this person is new to the series and has not been gaming that long

so maybe for them they have not had 16 years to play it i bought the older fallout some time ago and have them on cd but have not gone back and played them yet but i bet Slow is like me a lot games but not a lot of time to play them all

none the less i know they are making one but i just hope it is more like Fallout 3 what i mean is i hope it plays like New Vegas but has content like Fallout 3 as i felt New Vegas was a bit small for map it felt more like an add on made into a game

and i do hope they do change some things like new creatures and what not i think it would be nice if it had CO-OP of some sorts so i do not have to rely on worthless companions they are nice but still not even close to having a human companion

Map was the same size, NV had 3 times the amount of quests and a branching main quest...

Here

NV also added in many gameplay elements and better faction systems.

map size was not quiet as big as fallout it took me a lot longer to walk across Falllout 3 then did NV so it made it feel bigger but in the end it is about the same size you have me on that one

and having tons of quest does not make a game better it just means it has more but more is not always better

also FO3 had better DLC minus maybe the Zeta one but it was worth it for the gear

it had a better story,more things to look for,more places to go personally i just enjoyed it more

Fallout falls more onto looting and exploring more then it does about side quest those are things i do after i beat the game unless they are required to progress the story

bottom line NV wins out on content but as far as everything else imo it fell flat with the story,with the guns and the factions to me where more of distraction then fun because no matter where you killed them or who saw it they disk liked you less

i felt it was just less annoying to avoid them,then to deal with them unless you want to be attacked pretty much everywhere you go and kill anything that moves so it kinda took away from me

i just like FO3

Thats alright, I disagree with all your points though haha.

Size technically is the same, I remember an article about it, yup.

I liked New Vegas DLC Much more honestly, some of 3's was good though, I hated that artic one though a lot.

NV had much more superior writing to me which made the side quests and main quests better for me.

I feel NV had more to do after I beat it, not sure about loot but I beleive it had more items in general, I could be wrong.

I Just liked NV more :-P.

Fair enough though, everyone is different, both were technically good games.

i just like FO3 better and i like the mods they tend to be better and add a lot to it i do like NV hardcore mode and hope they have more it in the next one

you can like NV more and i can like FO3 more we all have our reasons

No thanks, NV had a better map once you actually dug into it and didn't go "oh look a desert full of nothing", the dlc added amazing places to visit also compared to 3 if you ask me which all seemed half baked.

Fallout 3 had a much better atmosphere and higher quality design for exploration, in my opinion. One example would be the alien crashed UFO in fallout 3. The New Vegas version just had 3 aliens standing on the edge of the map, just standing there... that was half baked. Especially when you could tell the edges of the map as just a wall surrounding it. Definitely wasn't as rich of an experience in terms of the map. I also ran into many glitches and invisible rocks on the NV map. Fallout 3 felt much more realistic. If you want to say New Vegas was more interesting in terms of story and quest, sure I could see that. But, as for the map it was very cookie cutter. One thing Bethesda is good at is making a nice world to explore.

what about the encounters in vegas, bethesda knows hot to create a nice place, but just a place not something that feels like life has come trough it, when you explore a dungeon un skyrim is always present in your head, this is a dungeon... a game dungeon in gona find a boss and a conveniatly placed exit at the end... take DC for example at the start is something you can see when you get out of the vault looks enticing and exciting what could you find in a HOLE city, and what they did is put a bunch of corridors together.... nice?

But when you explore New vegas vaults, cities, or caverns you feel like life has passed trough this places, different ways to enter, different wways to interact with something or someone, and therefore making the hole exploration more exicintg about what i could find, what some1 could have left behind.

At least thats how i feel.

Not to maention, the weird enconters in new vegas, the indiana jones fridge, the gosth that is right outside the starting town... and more, and lastly, that alien weapon power xD

well i would think after a nukes being dropped that top side would be pretty bare and that is why i liked FO3 there was not as much to interact with it was just the exploring to see what was left behind what i could find and what i would discover that was more fun for me then just filling every area up with NPC and junk to make it seem like nothing much as changed despite the fact that nukes where dropped every where but some how in NV it was pretty much untouched but everything around it was not

that aspect i did not like i did like the exploring vaults but i was a bit disappointed in Vegas and the Casino aspect and thanks to the shitty engine Free Side had stuff cut and removed so you had to go through all those doors to get around and that got old fast it would have been so much better to have it all open it felt more alive

the bottom line is both games could been a lot better with a better engine

and i think the next one will use a better engine and maybe they will use it to show new tech or maybe it will be Unreal Engine 4 or something

I fully agree with StarshipGhost, I for one played Fallout 3 & NV, both for 2000 hours combined. I have found all hidden areas, caves, underground worlds, with other words all sidequests available and even after that I kept grinding for fun. F3 is better in atmosphere, level & world design, surprises and other aspects, FNV was better for the story and the options you had with the factions.

DLC's of FNV were better than Fallout 3 by far... :-s You have a weird opinion HillaryClinton, I hope you are not trolling and wasting people's time.

"You have a weird opinion HillaryClinton, I hope you are not trolling and wasting people's time."

This is usually the part where I stop talking, god thats annoying, Luchingador pretty much covered it, FO3 doesn't even feel like a Fallout game, sorry. Also places like Vault 22/Black Mountain/Searchlight/Vault 11(Probably one of the best vaults in all of FO)/Nipton....and the best of all Sierra Madre, holy shit, that place was amazing, the only place I really remember from 3 was that neat sequence when you enter virtual reality, I enjoyed that.

I hated the way Fallout 3 was laid out, the tunnel system was a chore, and everything just seemed dead and not in a Fallout way, in a "Hey we never played fallout before but we made a game based on some still shots of 1 and 2...".

Imo there was not much atmosphere in 3, NV had a ton of atmosphere, and I am not alone with that opinion and its not "weird", Fallout 3 was fun for a little bit and I do play it occasionally, but I basically have to put it in my head that I am not playing Fallout to enjoy it at all.

What surprises did 3 have btw in your opinion? I felt like I was going through the motions, I played pretty much everything in that game, had it was before I had it on Steam, everything seemed predictable to me.

Gonna end it with this, I have had people argue that 3 also had a better story, so yeah opinions can be vast, point is 3 doesn't even feel like a fallout game, feels like a Elder Scrolls game with a skin to me, its more like a playground then a fearful world.

P.S: Go look at my game time on Fallout 1/2, guess I never played those also, no gams were ever released off Steam Rolls eyes...

Btw: You said "both for 2000 hours combined." yet you have 36 hrs on record for NV....which is a Steamowrks game(Steam Only) unlike 3...which you don't own on Steam yet called me a liar....lmaoooooo

it was more the game engine then anything else and i hope that they will change it and use a better engine
because most of the bugs where from a shitty engine or if they use the same one i hope by now they have a lot better one

even really good modders said the game engine is crap

maybe they will use what they did for Skyrim

and i know a lot people are skeptical of Beth doing the work but no matter how good a company is they can fuck up any game that is just how life works sometimes you do good and sometimes you drop the ball

i think they want their games to look more, impresive, i mean Oblivion made a lot of people upgrade their rigs, but not so much Skyrim...

And i think FO4 will have a new breathtaking engine, not really made by them but, from id Software, remember they got bought? xD, and what they do best? Engines.

Offcourse thats just my crazy mind thinking.

That will never happen. id Tech is for contained environments, not open world. It can't technically do a fallout game unless you made it like RAGE, which is too linear for Fallout/Elder Scrolls.

Actually if anything RAGE proved the engine can be used for big environments(Just because in RAGE it wasn't doesn't mean it cant), never say never, honestly Bethesda needs to let that engine go, its a mess. I fear that they wont though, there is always hope though....

There is a difference between big environments and an open world map like Fallout and Elder Scrolls. id Tech is not made for that.

An engine can be altered though no? Honestly I am just guessing, and I do think a new engine altogteher would be great for the nest FO games and Elder Scrolls. I feel it needs it by now.

That makes no sense. New Vegas was a bonus game. If they didn't let Obsidian make it, you would have nothing. You act as if the game sucks. Guess what? It doesn't. Just because Fallout 3 is a better game, doesn't mean New Vegas is a bad one.

Thats the thing, NV feels like a fallout game, not sure why FO3 would be better, has less quests, less pretty much everything including captivating quests, felt like I was doing stuff for no reason in 3....idk just felt odd, still a fun game, just not in the Fallout way....hard to explain, sorta did on another comment in here, got called a liar/troll even though the guy arguing with me lied about stuff lmao...
