There are 12 brand new games being shown off at tomorrow’s The Game Awards. For a while now, rumours have circulated that one of the new titles being shown off at the VGA’s reborn would be Bethesda’s next Fallout game. I certainly hope you don’t have your hopes up – because that’s just not happening.
While higher-ups at Bethesda have confirmed they’ll be attending the event, they’ve also said that fans shouldn’t get excited for any particular reveals. They’ll be there to support the folks from Machinegames, who’re up for an award for their excellent Wolfenstein: The New Order.
PSA — We’re not showing anything at the Game Awards. We’ll be there to support @MachineGames.

Rumours of a new Fallout have been increasingly prevalent, but just about every bit of news, trademark or filing has turned out to be a hoax. Say what you will about Bethesda’s buggy, lifeless and shallow open world RPGs, but I can’t wait to explore vaults in the wasteland, accompanied by what’s bound to be an excellent, throwback soundtrack. It really is time for Vault boy to make a return.
The Game Awards 2014 will be streamed live on December 5 from the Axis Theatre in Las Vegas. It starts at 9pm EST/6pm PST – which is four in the morning here on Saturday. will you be getting up early to watch ‘em, or will you – like me – catch everything at a much more reasonable hour?

I’ll try to be up at 4am to watch the show. But if Batman wins Most Anticipated Game then screw you guys i’m going to bed.
Don’t support DRM. The Witcher 3 is coming.

Boo. Waste of a vote. Batman vs The Witcher 3 at around 40%. Where is Uncharted, 9%.

I think I’m more disappointed that they’re still riding the TESO kak train and not giving us anything on an actual new Elder Scrolls.

You have to remember that them releasing ANYTHING Elder Scrolls Related within 5 years of TESO’s release, Will mean that they Gave up on TESO, not a smart business move… besides, it hasn’t hit consoles yet, has it? Is that even still a thing?
Spaffy

Does anyone still play TESO?

I Think I was the only one on this forum, but even I have cancelled my subscription now. Had fun for about 7 months, but time to find a new adventure.

It’s an excuse of an elder scrolls game.

Remember – that’s IF Eskom keep the lights on… They already threatening loadshedding today and tomorrow…

Today?Country wide?? My PS4 is still plugged in, fok, need to phone some one to save my baby
Rock789
December 4, 2014 at 09:51
Yup… Not definite – they just threatening at this point… But they say later today and into tomorrow, loadshedding will be more likely if WE keep overusing that little thing they are responsible for supplying – electricity. And this weekend they will, more than likely, implement loadshedding to stock up for next week.
Only service supplier I know, in the World, that gets paid to NOT supply the service they advertise.

I won’t. Friday eve is the Wife’s company Christmas party. They’re supplying transport home; so I’m getting tanked on company money. I don;t exzpect to see Saturday until at least noon. 😛

We expect minute by minute updates of Game Awards coverage from 4am. And immediate Witcher 3 posts.

Fallout Online, calling it now. And people will pay the subs to play it every month.

Then Bethesda has officially ruined two franchises. But I’m keeping hope that they won’t do that.
Kerrits
December 4, 2014 at 09:08
Only then?
I wouldn’t say FO is ruined yet, but even now I still enjoy FO2 more than 3. If only they made FO3 a spin-off rather than a sequel …
Rock789
December 4, 2014 at 09:02
Then, in all honesty, they may as well shut their doors and go on early retirement – coz they will pretty much lose every single Fallout fan there is!!
Maybe they can then appeal to the ‘Candy-Crush’ crowd. **throws up**

The hype was insane when Bethesda announced a new ES and that hype died just as quickly when people heard it’s online and sub based. Same with Fallout, hype was high when they heard a new ones being made, now if they say it’s online and sub based I’m afraid bethesda is going to get a huge knocker on the head.
Rock789
December 4, 2014 at 09:08
Precisely. I was HUGELY stoked to hear of another ES – even online (although that made me hesitant… Made me wanna see how it turns out first before committing). Now, after the fiasco that the PC version has been, NO WAY am I touching that sh%t on console… They can keep it – and I think they know it, hence why the TESO console launch has been delayed ‘indefinitely’.

I’m Calling right now. Fallout 4 will be released 23rd/24th Of October 2017. Which is 60 Years before the start of Fallout’s Great War.
That Being Said, Expect the announcement on the 23rd of October 2016.

Speaking of the number 4. Where’s Rants with his obligatory (but false) “I’m going to win that PS4” comment?
Hammersteyn
December 4, 2014 at 08:33
He bought a XBOX?

Probably somewhere trying to convince everyone else he’s going to win it
Matthew Holliday

He realised that he has no way to compete with me.
I got this.

Wait MachineGames made Wolfenstein: the new orderand if Bethesda is there to support them could that mean? DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The Doom 4 trailer looks interesting. I LOVED Doom 3, but wow, couple of “kak your pants” moments as well.

where’s my next gen Elder Scrolls?? And no, don’t mention that MMO
HairyEwok
December 4, 2014 at 09:03
Honestly I don’t think there will be a new ES at the moment, they’ve gone and dumped all the remaining lore they had into ES:O kind of like what blizzard did after Warcraft 3 with the WoW expansions from Lich King.
Matthew Holliday
December 4, 2014 at 09:50
hated that WoW exists.
i wanted warcraft 4.
if they take elder scrolls 6 away from me the same way, fffffffffffffu, ima be mad.

Probably a super duper extra legendary edition with Alduin plush toy.
