Van Buren was gonna be pretty good judging from the design document and the demo. A competent Caesars legion is something the series is begging for since they own a territory in excess of all the other major powers in the game.

Bethesda still turned Fallout into a worthwhile series. People can try to shit all over them if they want, but Fallout 3 was an experiment to see if they could make the series a success, and Obsidian used what Bethesda created and made it better. Not sure why everyone tries to compare the two, when obviously the later one is going to be better since the engine and a lot of the game mechanics were already handed to the team. That does not make Obsidian better, they just already had what they needed in order to create the game.

Except for the fact that Todd couldn't design a good game to save his life.

Well there was that whole Boston Hoax a few months back which got most people into a frenzy, so I'm being a tad more cautious over "leaks" and "secret sites".


As for my expectations, I'd love for F4 to build further from New Vegas, but some changes of course, namely removing those ghastly colour filters that overpowered certain locations, e.g. Camp Searchlight's green and Caesar's Legion Camp's red which made it fucking horrible. (Fallout 3 had a constant green to be fair, but it wasn't as noticeable nor intruding on the eyes).


As for additions, I wanna see some more crazy fuck-up vaults. F3's Vaults 96 and 106 and 108 were pretty good (and so was the non-vault 77, only items found as a jumpsuit and a some pretty scared shitless raider tapes), as were FNV's Vaults 22, (and that one where the voted overseer had to be sacrificed to "keep the vault running").


I also expect some overhaul on the weapons. Given the time difference between F3 and FNV (and whatever time period F4 becomes), I wanna see some new improved weapons (perhaps from the BoS or Enclave/Remnants?), and a fuckton of "homemade" weapons that are available, more along the lines of Metro's Bastard Gun and the rudimentary double barrel they have (as well as a ton more bashy and slashy melee weapons).


It would be nice for a change of location, as now the West Coast has been done rather extensively and the North East is a bit too soon to go back to. New Orleans or the Canada/US border would be interesting to see after Canada had a Chinese invasion and later annexation.


And finally, I'd expect by the time they announce it, it will be next gen/PC "exclusive", on a beefed up engine to take advantage of better graphics options available. Oh, and gore, lots of it.

Timed Xbox exclusive, the community is tood this in complicated and unclea

>people forget about the Resource Wars
>people forget about the Israel getting nuked
>implying Fallout: Jihad Edition wouldn't be the greatest game ever

Nobody forgot about those, I just do not think the series is ready for a prequel. I would expect a prequel to be a spinoff game.
