After many years of speculation and rumors flying around, Bethesda is making an official statement regarding Fallout.

This timer goes off at 9AM EST tomorrow morning.

This, coupled with Bethesda announcing an E3 keynote, pretty much confirms that Fallout 4 is about to be revealed.

Never played a Fallout game before, might as well try it out when it comes!

Fallout 3 is one of the best games of all time. You can get a 360/PS3 copy at Gamestop for less than $5.

Or if you have a semi-decent PC, the GOTY edition frequently hits $5 on Steam.

Ron Perlman was at Phoenix Comicon yesterday and had this to say when asked about Fallout 4: "I wish I could give you news on that, but I can't and I won't." He apparently said this with a smirk on his face.

My prediction is that this countdown is not going to end with a reveal, but some official teases paving the way towards Bethesda's E3 keynote on June 14, possibly on a daily basis. They would not be crazy enough to drop a trailer video beforehand. I expect maybe some non-screencap images, story line establishment material, and/or maybe a Vault Tec presentation (which was their lead-in to Fallout 3 in 2008). The real meat is going to come with E3 and beyond.

Release date? My magic powers of prediction tell me late 2015 to early 2016.

On the bad end, there are ten thousand "FALLOUT 4 OFFICIAL!!!!1!" videos by amateurs on youtube, so expect a deluge of this shit, and other speculative content poring over every detail of anything Bethesda hands us, post-E3. The last time I saw this level of hype was for GTA V.

I'm super stoked for 4 I can't wait to see what they change/improve this go around.

Leaving this here.

Fallout 1 remains my all-time favorite. 3 was good and I put alot of hours into it. I just have a soft-spot for the original over-world design and feel of the old games.

3 and Vegas didn't leave me clawing for a sequel though but I'll withhold judgement until I see more about this.

Just saw the trailer, wow.

Might really get this then, besides battlefront of course. Looks great.

Specially if I have dog as my companion (BETTER NOT KILL IT) i'm game!

3 was addicting. Still playing Vegas with all of the DLC's.

It's too early for me to get excited about 4, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for its release.

ughhh I really need to budget for a new PC :/

My body is ready.

But is your butthole?

I only have questions regarding the textures used in the trailer, as the dog doesn't look particularly "wow" for a next gen game.

I'm still going to buy this. As soon as a $200 collector's edition is announced, I'm ordering it.

Take prior advice and pick up Fallout 3 GOTY on Steam for $10. Do it right now.

As a poster said on the youtubes, looks like the graphics werent the main concern, but the gameplay, as they expect.

So maybe that's the cause, but it still looked good to me, doesn't need to be super clean and 'real' to me, I mean people loved the fuck out of bioshock infinite or whatever.

I look at it like this: they aren't bullshitting us with footage that looks nothing like what we'll actually see in the game, leaving little to disappoint when it hits shelves. You know what you're getting into from the start. That everything in the trailer is actual in-game footage is a good move on Bethesda's part. They did mostly the same with Fallout 3 trailers back in 2008 (one shot of the BoS looking over D.C. was not in-game).

Image size reduced, original size: 1050 x 587. Click here to view the image in its original dimension.

Also, I was wrong about the dog's texture and model to a degree. From a better angle later on, I see that there is more detail in it, it's just hard to see in the initial shot I bitched about where the dog is walking down the hallway.

To those looking to get a copy: do it. Gamestop sells the all-frills Game of the Year edition for $15 brand new.

I actually have a hard copy of Fallout 3 for PC if you're interested. Got it right when it came out. It's not a GOTY edition though.

Wonder if they'll do a 'gameplay' of this at E3, or will just be one of the many trailers we see before a bigger company shows off a decent 'gameplay' coughcodcough

The keynote at e3 will be for a gameplay reveal. Bethesda has this and the new DOOM on the horizon, so it's a big year for them.

You have my number. We can work something out.

Bethesda is rebooting Doom? That's going to be interesting. It's such a well-known classic that it's bound to have a mixed reception, but I do hope it turns out good.

Well, they did a cracking job with Wolfenstein, so I've got some wary optimism on that one.
