I wouldn't assume this is a 2015 release. It should be given its been four years since Skyrim, but Bethesda's history says this is more likely a 2016 title.

It is already up for preorder on GMG (and likely other sites). Not that this says anything about release date. It says more to do with the obsession with preordering in PC gaming.

As for the trailer....man my bunk is calling to me.
The trailer looks alright, but I didn't see anything to make this a must have.
For now I'm going to snuggle up on the couch in my 'wait and see' blankie.

+1, being a one-man store. I can squeeze in a little gaming here and there during the xmas season but I can't give a new game the attention it demands. Oh well, by January there'll be a patch or two.
The Boston setting (plus the fact that I'm close to finishing Fallout NV) makes this a must-buy for me.
Yeah I've got to know who will be carrying the collector's edition. And then pre-order. And then find out if different stores get different collector's editions with different swag and then pre-order there as well.
And a new graphics card.

I love Fallout, but that trailer didn't do much for me. Just looks like more of the same. I would actually be much more excited if Fallout 4 were being made by Obsidian instead of Bethesda.

Yeah, me too.
Same - the graphics engine is not aging well. There are so many better looking games now with better physics... the movement just looks horrible.

Other than changing the settings, isn't that what any game in a series usually is? Fallout 2 was MOTS with respect to Fallout, and FO4 looks to be MOTS with respect to FO3. Exactly what are you looking for?

The trailer is fine, for me at least the issue is just that it's Bethesda and not Obsidian, and New Vegas > Fallout 3. Like Fallout 3, I expect this to be perfectly fine, just with an adequate but not amazing story / theme.

But, it's Fallout.
I'm not so certain that it's the same engine. Gamebryo was a constant thorn in Bethesda's side as the previous console generation went by, and I imagine that they'd want to distance themselves from it and its quirks and design flaws.

I'm perfectly happy with MOTS but after 5 years you would think the graphics would take another step forward and it doesn't look like it from the trailer. There was only a 1 year gap between FO and FO2 and 2 years between FO3 and FO:NV, so there wasn't much expectations in graphical improvements. I guess we'll know more June 14th.

All these years later, and it still makes me laugh.
Also, the new shared video is ridiculous. Looks slightly different than what I remember playing on an Apple IIe.
I love the Mass Effect games, and Marauder Shields is still easily the best thing to come out of them.
If it were possible under IP laws, I would seriously pay $100+ for a game where you play Marauder Shields, traveling through time and space to kill protagonists in different games/movies/TV shows just before they reach terrible endings.

Graphically, I think it's a tiny step up from Skyrim. Maybe using a similar renderer? What I mostly see from that trailer are changes in lighting and richness of colours. Yeah, the Gamebryo engine has definitely showed its age. It carried too many limitations under the hood that they'd be smart to move away from for the new gen.
Hopefully, some of it is just placeholders. It was a clear step up from Fallout 3, but it still wasn't up to current standards. The dog was just blech.
Looks great to me. I just hope its a lot more stable for less crashes and fails....especially with mods.

Maybe because I am not a pre-order early buy kinda guy I rarely have trouble with any game crashing. I hear complaints about games and yet even with my 8 year old underpowered Dell I rarely have any problems.

Yeah, the mods are hard for the developer to plan on.
As for fresh out of the box super stable games. I wish they were stable and very polished, but as long as they get to that point, I am fine with them needing some changes after release. I don't mean it is okay to have to patch in a save system or something, but if there is a bug, even one that was painfully obvious to me, is okay as long as they patch it in a reasonable amount of time.
<shrug> And does anyone really think this will make it out this year? I would guess 1st or 2nd quarter next year at the earliest.

And what exactly do you base that guess on? The date when the game's announcement was made, or something more substantial? Not all games are announced at the same distance from their release, as some studios prefer to keep the cards close to their chest for as long as possible.
It's been 4 years since Bethesda's last game, which was Skyrim. There's usually a 3-year gap between their games. Current listings everywhere show that the game will be released in 2015, and I'm prepared to believe them barring last-minute delays.
I still stand by my guess of October/November of this year. They're not announcing a game at E3 that's coming out in the Spring of 2016. At least, I'd be amazed if that was the case.

Nothing but my guess that if they are not saying October/November yet, that it will slip to next year. I have no inside information, nor profess some type of prophetic knowledge of when it will be released. Just being a typical gamer and saying something with no basis other than what I have seen in the past.

True dat. But games announced at E3 don't always make it out when they say they will. But let's hope it is this year. Just in time for the wintery goodness that is Ohio, so I can play games while the snow falls.
