Fallout 4 will be a Game Awards no-show

Fallout4

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.

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?

    There is going to be a new Witcher 3 trailer at the Game Awards. And you people need to vote for The Witcher 3 – Most Anticipated Game.

    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?

          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.

      Then Bethesda has officially ruined two franchises. But I’m keeping hope that they won’t do that.

        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 …

      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.

          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’.

      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.
