Bethesda Fallout related announcement imminent.

Between this and the pokemon thing, my butt hurts.

If its an MMO i will be so happy

[TriHard]

That's what I hoped for initially but Kotaku seem to think it's something new.

Stop using that trash website.

They've bled like 40k viewers since it peaked. What are they waiting for?

It likely will keep going like this until tomorrow or until E3

Fallout MMO is an utopian dream. I don't think we will ever see it, even though we all want it. :S

I don't 'use' it. But a writer on there called Jason Schreier has stated he has inside info on it and that it's a new game and not a remaster. I doubt he'd say that unless he was pretty sure he wasn't going to be made to look a fool when they make the announcement. Also nice racism in your avatar/location combo.

[derpkitteh]

watching oxhorn talk about the clues from the stream, he's making it really sound like it's the fallout 3 remaster.

that'll be a real let down.

Oh my what. I remember people saying the same thing about an Elder Scrolls MMO. No, a Fallout MMO would not necessarily be any good. Especially if it's Zenimax Online making it. That said, I would think another MMO would be highly unlikely after seeing TESO not cutting the bacon like they hoped. My guess would be a FO3/NV combo "remaster" (read: it just works on modern consoles with the exact same bugs and issues that plague the original releases, but now they can sell you the mods to fix it).

as someone who fucking loved Fallout1/2 PLEASE NO MMO PLEASE PLEASE GOD NO

Vaultboy is now taking a nap. Shhhh.....


My guess is this is going to stay up until E3. I doubt they would actually announce a game with E3 so close.....

[Aeula]

Ughhhh

They put the bobblehead to sleep and put a watch next to it set at 9:47 (Same time in lore when the bombs dropped).

Nice catch, I didn't even notice the time on the watch.

Maybe Bethesda is planning their biggest event yet: FALLOUT IRL edition! They are actually going to nuke us at 9:47!

Now the question is 9:47...when? In game the clocks on EAST COAST are stuck at 9:47, so it COULD mean 9:47 tonight (about an hour and 45 min from now) or nothing at all.

That is a very interesting hint.

They announced Fallout 4 this way. Started a Stream, the next day they had a reveal trailer for Fallout 4. Happened two weeks before E3 in 2015.

The only difference between now and then is that they had the courtesy to include a countdown timer for the Fallout 4 reveal, unlike now.

Why?

Most major games get announced outside of e3, only a handful are saved to be surprises.

E3 is not the "announce everything now!" event people seem to think it is, it's a damn trade show to impress investors and show gameplay demos to press. It actually helps in both of those areas for people to know what you have in advance.

Gender equality being added to FO series...
Incoming PipGirl.

Vault Girl already exists and there's already adult shit on it :P

Wasn't a stream, just a website counting down.

Since the time on the watch could be a hint, here is the lore on when the bombs dropped.

It is not known who launched the first nuclear weapon that started the conflict. President Richardson would tell the Chosen One that China launched first; however, it is not known if he was telling the truth. At 12:03am on October 23rd, the US Navy Pacific Fleet (COMPACFLT) reported three unidentified submerged objects (possibly Chinese submarines [1]) off the California coastline. A little over three hours later, US Air Force fighters spotted a squadron of unknown aircraft at high altitude off the Bering Straits of Alaska at 3:37am Eastern Time. Four probable nuclear missile launches were detected by the Integrated Operational Nuclear Detection System (IONDS) at 9:13am, with DEFCON 2 being declared. Four minutes later at 9:17am, NORAD confirms nuclear missile launches and bombers loaded with nuclear ordnance were immediately scrambled on combat sortie. DEFCON 1 was declared simultaneously. Response scenario protocol "MX-CN91" was enacted by the President at 9:26am, authorizing the immediate launch of U.S. nuclear weapons. Nuclear missile strikes on the states of New York and Pennsylvania were confirmed at 9:42am, with nuclear strikes on Massachusetts and Washington occurring at 9:47am

Since the time they used is the time when the bombs hit Massachusetts and Washington, I’m leaning towards a FO:3 Remake.

Except no, not all of us want that. The last thing I want in my post-apocalyptic wasteland is a bunch of mouthbreathing GOGOGOGOGO morons jumping around, trolling general chat and standing on important objectives with giant mounts and vehicles and shit. And on top of that, an MMO wouldn't be moddable the way FO3/NV/FO4 are. So yeah... no thank you.

So 9:47am will be the earliest announcement, so guess no point keeping it in the background tonight.

It was a stream, the timer just wasn't on the stream, I never claimed it was, however.

Its still on Twitch even.
