1 - Post-Apocalypse Hype

If you think this entry will be about me wanting for the world to end because like  the other cynical, pessimistic athiests around the world? well sorry to disappoint but no. This one will about a title that just announced another installment to their franchise, Bethesda's franchise and it's: FALLOUT 4!


(watch the vid if you care)

For a teaser of something out that's quite long enough for us to appreciate! yes ladies and gentlemen the long awaited fallout 4 has come, from this teaser we can speculate some things about the game, yes I will speculate a lot because speculation is fun and if you get most of your predictions right it's so damn satisfying! you go and tell your friends "I TOLD YOU SO!" but going back on topic let's break the trailer down.


First part we're shown with the look of the game, bethesda's game developers have confirmed that this is in-game engine what that means is that throughout the whole game the graphics will be the same as this. If Bethesda is able to keep it looking like this and not downgrade it down the line (CD project's witcher 3 and ubisoft's Watch dogs graphics got downgraded before release date to be optimized for consoles) then this game will be one of the best looking open world games out there oh man when people were speculating that the next fallout game would be just skyrim's game engine they'd still accept and love it but oh man! Bethesda got busy and worked on a new game engine for this franchise! so exciting I just hope it doesn't require a super computer to run it!


In the next minute of the teaser they keep going back and forth between the current time of the game which is the wreckage above and this one where what was everything like before the nuclear explosions happened. It was nice to see that they'd give us quick looks of the past, The previous games actually gave you hints on how the world looked like before the nuclear war but it's nice to see that in this one we will get actual visual representation of how it was and what was it like just seconds before the bombs explode! more make believe history for us YAY!


The guys at Bethesda just confirmed that the location for the game is Boston and one of the locations that we can travel on seems like the Bunker Hill right here, there were other Boston landmarks that was featured in the trailer. I for one am not particular with Boston as I don't live there nor care but this is a good opportunity for me to discover what Boston is like once the game releases.


After showing Boston off to us they now show you what you're probable main character will be and DOGMEAT IS BACK! well Dogmeat's been a recurring NPC in the fallout franchise so it's good to see that's he's back. To those who don't like what the main character looks like, DON'T FRET because I'm sure Bethesda, like in the previous fallout games, Will allow us to create our character once again, it just makes it easier to make the default one a white male in his 30's and now you're asking why's that? because video game culture that's why! Our main character will be fresh out of the vault too it seems unlike in New Vegas where your character has gotten used to the post apocalyptic world.


The last important confirmation for this teaser is that it will not be available for the last gen consoles, I know some of you guys were getting your ps3s and your xbox360 ready for this but as it shows it's not going to be likely so if you want to get into this either buy a current gen console or upgrade your PC. It's understandable though games will require better, faster and stronger hardware for them to run because graphics are getting to he point of either looking like real life or looking better than real life. 

And that ladies and gentlemen is FALLOUT 4 I don't want to end this in a sad note because we all should be excited as many of us are asking for this one in a long time and Bethesda gave us an answer and it's a damn fine answer that they gave us!

Bethesda do your best! because this big reveal will be remembered and if those expectations aren't met or exceeded then good luck to you personally though I'm sure you'll do just fine!
