Final update:
Well, that's all folks. As you can see on survivor2299 website, this was all a hoax. All I can say is that it was fun to watch this develop, and give credit to the maker of this for making it seem so believable. It's amazing how much free time some people have on their hands. Despair not, because we all know Fallout 4 is in development.
Clarification video by Brodual.
Hoaxer revealed himself at reddit/r/Fallout.
Teaser site - thesurvivor2299.com
Info
My body is ready. Unless it's an iPhone game, MMO or MOBA. :P
UPDATE 1:
Kudos to NIKENIT for discovering this (quote):
Looking at souce code right now. These are some comments from it:
--- Flash Window http://www.youtube.com/user/BethesdaSoftworks/videos ---
--- Message DD/MM/YYYY For European and American sites --
--- Countdown --- (there is going to be some sort of countdown there)
Well, and source code has the AgeCheck function.
UPDATE 2:
Countdown has started, check the teaser site.
UPDATE 3:
This may be a hoax, however Bethesda declined to comment on all of this. (Thank you ifthisthenthat)
Script also cotains /radio/bridgeport-5284ec0d1b93c.mp3 and /radio/fall-river-6191da7f11n.mp3, which may suggest that the game may be set around Bridgeport, CT and Fall River, MA.
UPDATE 4:
Links to hidden images have also been found in the site's code, pointing at prepareforthefuture.com (which redirects to the official Fallout site.)
UPDATE 5 (Thanks to MegaGiga):
As The Vault reports, Bethesda has filed for Fallout 4 trademarks with the European Office for the Harmonization of the Internal Market. The filing shares Nice classes 9 and 41 with the filing for Fallout: New Vegas, which was made about four months before the teaser trailer was published.
Is this the same situation? Or is it just a gaming company covering its intellectual property hide? Mysteries.
Mysteries everywhere.

UPDATE 6 (Thanks again ifthisthenthat):
Erik Todd Dellums, the voice actor of Three Dog in Fallout 3, commented on the tease on his Twitter account.
UPDATE 7:
Site updated, lots of interesting things found. Check out this video from Brodual for more info.
Also, make sure to follow Reddit Fallout section for the latest news and updates (The Survivor 2299 Speculation and Hype Megathread).
UPDATE 8 (Thanks ifthisthenthat and frankyboy for these updates):
This post pretty much confirms that this is real! :)
New text showed up on the teaser site:
"VGNR [CAP] - ***? - LET- GRZ XJG XRS FWZZR GOS UIEG SII GZVZI || GRZ SAW XRS SAZZ XJG DZVB GRZ XUJIZ"
Which translates to one two two seven two zero one three || one one two five two zero one three. Those can be interpreted as the dates 12/27/2013 and 11/25/2013.
UPDATE 9:
Possible map (thanks frankyboy)
New messages and translations december 1st (thanks Mallorn):
THE INSTITUTE IS SEALED. THEY WON’T HELP US I’M HEADING TO BLACK ROW. -TBNLS 5120-
Another Institute reference (the MIT of Fallout) and the introduction of something called Black Row. Nobody seems to have convincingly figured out what ‘TBNLS 5120′ means just yet.
New morse code 1 "Calling all stations, this is overseer 119 emergency enemy unknown, SOS. Vault 119 Quabbin 7667, repeat, SOS, Vault 119 Quabbin 7667 enemy unknown"
New morse code 2: "Calling all stations, this is Vault Overseer 119, anybody near Quabbin? SOS Vault door breach, repeat, SOS Vault door breach, enemy unknown, level 1, 2, and 3 gone, survivors on (service lift? sealed? secure location?) level 4"
New morse code 3: "Calling all stations, this is Vault 119, SOS, Level 4 is under attack, Overseer is dead, repeat, SOS,Level 4 is under attack, Overseer is dead. (We want Mark I? We won’t make it?)"
Check out this Google Document, it contains everything we know so far.
Also Austrian store gameware.at offers Fallout 4 for pre-order for PC, PS4 and Xbox One! (thanks Silvero_Ceriano for sending me this)
Update 10:
Bunch of new stuff, watch this video for more info.
