Hasta La Gadget!

With the popularity of the Fallout franchise, safe to say that there has been a lot of Fallout 4-related rumors in the past couple of years. Back in 2013 the Fallout 4 trademark was filed, and there was even a teaser website which turned out to be a fake. So what’s the deal? Could we be looking forward to a Fallout 4-related announcement soon?

Well it seems like we weren’t the only ones thinking about it, especially with E3 2014 around the corner. One gamer posted the question to Bethesda’s Pete Hines, asking if E3 could be when Fallout 4 be announced. The bad news is that if you were hoping that was the case, prepare to be disappointed.

Hines has since replied in the negative, stating that not only does Bethesda not pre-announce their announcements, but that if you were hoping to hear announcements from Bethesda Games Studio, you’d be in for a wait as it looks like the studio has nothing new to announce for now. Sure, some might think maybe Hines is playing coy, but it was back in February that Bethesda’s head, Todd Howard, stated that they don’t have a timeframe for their next announcement, so it looks like that sentiment will be holding true.

Just like Valve’s Half-Life 3, Bethesda’s Fallout 4 has been eluding gamers for quite a while now, so it is understandable that many gamers are starting to get a bit impatient and want to hear something concrete. In any case E3 will probably be packed full of other announcements, so if Fallout 4 is not in the cards, perhaps something else will be.

Fallout 4 Will Not Be Announced At E3 2014

As gamers might have heard by now, the mysterious Fallout 4 website turned out to be a hoax and an elaborate prank. On the surface it might seem that the creator of the website might simply be trolling the gaming community simply because he could, but as it turns out his intentions while a little mean, were somewhat good as the goal of the fake website was to force Bethesda’s hand into revealing something about the franchise, such as to either deny that it was being worked on flat out, or to reveal that they have nothing to announce yet, which is good news as it could mean that the game is in development.

This was according to the prankster’s Reddit AMA where he wrote, “I wanted to force Bethesda to reveal something during VGX, and bring [the Reddit] Fallout community together (for at least 3 weeks). Unfortunately, this plan failed.” While he failed to force Bethesda to do anything, he did reveal that Bethesda got in touch with him and warned him about the potential backlash he might face from creating the fake website. In fact had it not been for Bethesda’s intervention, the prankster would have released a fake CGI trailer which would undoubtedly cause many to fall for it.

At the end of the day, however, he admitted that it was a pretty mean-spirited prank, with him concluding, “I know I’m a douche.”

Bethesda has been strongly hinting at a Fallout-related reveal for the past few weeks, with the latest tease coming in the form of a mysterious message found on an equally mysterious website simply known as The Survivor 2299. It looks as though The Survivor 2299 isn’t done with their teasing as a new message has just been released. (more…)

Fallout 4 Teaser Website Reveals New Message; Counting Down To Dec. 11 original content from Ubergizmo.

It was just last week that a mysterious website was launched called The Survivor 2299. Many had speculated that this could be a teaser website for an upcoming Fallout 4 announcement, and a recent Fallout 4 trademark registration in Europe only cemented the belief. In any case the website has since been updated with an audio clip that sounds a lot like morse code, which has since been decoded by the folks at Reddit as, “CQ CQ DE OZ PSE AS”. For those unfamiliar with morse code, this apparently translates to, “Calling any station, calling any station, calling any station, this is/from Oscar Zulu Please Stand by”.

We doubt that this makes any sense to regular folks since it seems very vague and does not specifically mention anything about Fallout, but bring in the Fallout fans and suddenly we might have something on our hands. Oscar Zulu is a radio station in an unmarked quest from Fallout 3, and that pretty much is the only connection we have for us right now. It has been speculated that there is a chance that the website along with the domain name could be fake and registered by someone else for the sake of a hoax, although admittedly it would be a pretty elaborate one. In any case it is expected that the game will be announced early December, if true, so be sure to check back with us then for the details.

If you are a fan of the Fallout franchise and you’re wondering what Bethesda might have to offer in the fourth installment of the game, perhaps we might be getting our answers on the 10^th of December. This is thanks to a new teaser website registered to ZeniMax, Bethesda’s parent company, where at the moment all we have to see is a countdown clock that suggests that something will be unveiled on the 10^th of December, like we mentioned above. What the website does not state is that this might be a Fallout-related announcement, but with rumors suggesting Fallout 4 might be announced this year, many are speculating that this could be indeed, Fallout-related.

Given that the 10^th of December is also around the time when the 2013 Video Game Awards on Spike TV will be held, there is a good chance the game, whatever it might be, will be announced then as well. After all Bethesda had used that platform to announce The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, so why not use it to announce Fallout 4, right? Not much is known about the game for now, but last we heard, Fallout 4 is expected to be set in Boston, although that is merely a rumor for now, but if you’re looking forward to a new Fallout game, be sure to check back with us then for the details.
