There’s been precious little news about Fallout 4, especially after Pete Hines told fans: “not to even ask us about the game or questions how far in development the game is.” So, if the most reliable source of news is stopped up, what can the fans do?
IGN posted “Can Bethesda Make Fallout 4 the Best Game Of The Next Generation?” and the fans picked up on one thing in particular:
“First things first, I know that Fallout 4 is currently in active development at Bethesda.”
They got all excited, as it looked like IGN knew something no-one else did, which isn’t surprising, as it’s close to a number of big studios.
We did hear more about Fallout 4, this time from a designer who’d worked on Fallout 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. He had this to say:
“We actually were kicking around some ideas after New Vegas for cool locations for the next Fallout. One of our designers Nathanial Chapman mentioned it’d be really cool to do a Fallout New Orleans. Have an entire city that had like a dam structure and lots of factions and tensions fighting in that city. And then our lead programmer on New Vegas, Frank Kowalkowski, he really wanted to do a Fallout that is set in San Francisco,” Avellone said. “In terms of stuff on the East Coast, there was this really brief mention of this region called the Erie Stretch in the Fallout 3 DLC [The Pit]. And I am really curious to see if they’ll bring that region back in future Fallout instalments because it seemed like a really intriguing location to explore.”
Fans hoped that Gamescon would bring a revelation with it, but Bethesda still kept quiet, and they’re waiting still.
