Fallout 4 maker Bethesda is working on 3 new games
venture beat ^ | 02/18/2016 | Dean Takahashi

"We are doing three longer-term projects," Howard said. "We'll talk about them in future. They are different from anything we have done before, while also being a Bethesda-style game."

Holmes asked Howard again. And he said, "I teased enough. I'll get in trouble."

Much of the talk was a victory lap for Fallout 4, which had a team of 100 people and was in the works for four years, following the debut of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim role-playing game in 2011.

Howard said he was grateful for the success of Fallout 4, an open world game with 100,000 lines of dialogue and immense spaces full of objects you can interact with, from a companion dog to ash trays that you can collect. Howard said the game is expansive to suit whatever fans want to do.

I generally don’t care about graphics quality in a game - I care about how itnplays. But the scenery in that game is just stunning.

It's not quite photorealistic. I'm looking for a game where I can completely check out of life entirely, including no longer eating, drinking, eliminating, or sleeping.

You shall never encounter a Radscorpion or Sentry Bot.

Liberty Re-Primed. That mission alone was worth the price of admission.

A couple co-workers and myself are eagerly awaiting the Fallout 4 online multiplayer version. You have to know that with Elder Scrolls Online, Bethesda will make a Fallout version also. We’ll probably have to take vacation that first week it’s out.

Is there any other game aside from Skyrim? I was unaware of this lore...

Fallout 3 took 140 hours out of my life, and I want them back.

I kid. Those 140 were the best gaming hours I've ever had. Hope to get a new rig soon so I can finally play Fallout 4.

Fallout 4’s New, More Challenging Survival Mode Explained

Fallout 4 New Survival Mode Overview

Saving

Manual and quicksaving are disabled. To save your game, you’ll need to find a bed and sleep for at least an hour.

Combat

Combat is more lethal for everyone. You now deal, but also take, more damage. You can increase the damage you deal even further with “Adrenaline” (see below).

Fast Travel

Fast Travel is disabled. If you wish to be somewhere, you’ll have to physically travel there.

Weighted Ammo

Bullets and shells now all have a small amount of weight, which varies by caliber. Heavier items such as fusion cores, rockets, and mini-nukes can really drag you down.

THIS

IS

AWESOME

I was gonna play again after the first playthrough, never fast-traveling. This makes the choice FOR me.

I love the ammo restrictions. It made New Vegas so much better. You had to think during your loadout. I hate having 8000 rounds of .45 and zero penalty.

NORM WHERE ARE YOU

Ping to my other fallout friends. See the new survival mode coming soon. MUCH better gameplay, to my mind.

I remember playing Skyrim modded to give gold coins weight.
What a PITA that was. LOL
