Why?

Hype.

Besides its not like they can mess up Fallout that badly.
Unless they have already and my adolescent brain has not been exposed to such trauma.

Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel

[nenjin]

I'm with the general concept of Preorders. But giving them money months in advance of even knowing when the game will be done.....Steam is not Kickstarter.

[quamzie]

May be one day they will make fallout not about two stage houses, but fallout with New-York and ruined skyscrapers :c

[FArgHalfnr]

I vaguely remember hearing that making a game happen in new-york would be impossible because the whole place got obliterated by nukes or something according to canon. It would make sense that new-york would be a primary target for nukes, considering it's the biggest city.

I find Bethesda one of the more consistent game developers. I won't be preordering because I'm short of money at the moment and £50 is a bit high, but I think that if someone enjoyed both Skyrim and FO3 then it'd be surprising if they didn't enjoy FO4 too.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Preordering a game at all.

FTFY. The only exception I ever made was for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, but that was only because it was the remake of a game I already knew I would enjoy made by one of the few people in the industry I trust. I don't trust bethesda enough to give them my money for the promise of a game, maybe worth the price, at some point in the future. If it's that expensive I might even completely skip it, or wait for a massive sale. 80$ Is way too much for a game, regardless of the quality IMO.
The only other game I remember seeing at this price is the latest simcity, and that was the "deluxe" version.

Aye, only game I've ever preordered was Starbound literally two days before it launched.
Anyway, have they released any more word about this? As in, was the 'only male' thing confirmed?
Also, AT LEAST WE SAW GREEN, RIGHT

What I never got is how Washington DC isn't a smoking crater. I mean, New Vegas had a reason-Mr. House is a smart motherfucker.

Along with basically all of Europe and central Asia.

[Teneb]

Wouldn't DC also be a primary target? It was still quite a bit more than a glass crater.

[KingofstarrySkies]

...Wait, really? Is THAT why we don't get any games at ALL in not-America? That's...Really boring. Seriously.

AND YET DC IS TOTALLY FINE
YES

[stabbymcstabstab]

Im pretty sure it's all in america because, one thats where the vaults are, two fallout somewhat follows the same family in a rather loose way, three NCR, BOS, Enclave, Legion, and all the other already fleshed out factions and areas instead of a area where we know nothing about.

[Teneb]

Furthermore, it's easier for a developer to recreate an area close to where their studio is.

[Neonivek]

Well also... Think about how hard it would be to do another country and how many "Is this racist?" it would get

Since the game is supposed to be a hyper charged 1950s culture with all the terrible science and stupidity that was involved in this time period (It is why there is nuclear material in Nuka-cola)

So... lets put this game in 1950s Japan with all the irrationalities, poor science, and outright stupidity that existed back then... and present it to a culture (Americans) who have no knowledge outside their closed bubble of the USA.

BUT
INNOVATION D:
And I still have massive trouble finding that DC is standing and New Bloody York isn't. Or, you know. Europe.
