News for Release
There is no official news from Bethesda regarding the release date of Fallout 4, but it is expected to be the next title for the PS4 and for the Xbox One. It will probably be released by the end of 2014 or the beginning of 2015. It is also rumored that the development of the game has been given to a new studio named Battle Studios, established in Austin, Texas. Fallout 4 is an upcoming game that is being developed by Bethesda and is published by Bethesda Softworks.
Set in Boston
It is also rumored that Fallout 4 will be bet set in Boston in the US. The game will make use of the classic introduction of Fallout 1, 2 and Fallout 3 with War: War never Changes. In the previous three games, the words were in the voice of Ron Periman, the actor, but it is rumored that the main character in Fallout 4 will speak the opening words. There are hints pointing towards the fact that the game is set in Boston. For instance, there is a mission where Preston Garvey, one of the characters, asks players to search for a fusion core in a museum located in the commonwealth. Another mission has been set in the Institute. The Boston institute will probably be an MIT version, with a post apocalyptic touch.
Though there are rumors pointing to a Boston, Massachusetts setting for Fallout 4, many players would like Poland or some other East European country. Players feel that it might be interesting to have a game outside the United States. However, it is not likely that Bethesda will go very far from the location it has worked in, previously.
Players’ Expectations
Till such time as Bethesda formally announces the next version, there are many players and fans who are expecting something from the next game version and would like some special content.
Survival Aspect
For instance, players would like increased focus to be placed on survival. It was seen in Fallout 3 New Vegas, that the player is almost invincible and is able to drink irradiated water without any disastrous effects. There should be some kind of survival notion in the next game as this aspect is almost obsolete in Fallout New Vegas.
Increased Customization
Bethesda does offer many perks and skills for players in Fallout 3 New Vegas, but there is no big character creation for players. Players cannot select a race or a faction on their own. Weapon modification features are also lacking in Fallout 3. The crafting system is great in Fallout 3 and it enabled players to create things from junk, but there is still much room for improvement in this aspect. There are a lot of machines and computers, lying abandoned, in the Wasteland. These could be used for customizing weapons and for creating exclusive weapons. Players should even be able to craft some of their armor and create new clothes for themselves or set traps for the Ghouls to catch them unawares.
Multiplayer and Co Op Options
The Wasteland can become quite a lonely place for players at times; so players would also like Bethesda to introduce an online co-op type of play for Fallout 4. It is expected that the game will be launched on the PS4 and the Xbox One, so the developer should surely take advantage of the dedicated game servers for multiplayers from Sony and Microsoft. It is not necessary to completely convert it into an MMO, but players would surely like to share their experiences with their friends and take up missions as part of a group or a team.
