Hush now children, for Bethesda have made many grown nerds quake with mighty news. They are holding a slot at this year’s E3.
That’s right, our fair lady Beth(esda) is going to be having a whole slot just for themselves and that is awesome. Monumental success with renowned Sandbox RPG’s like Fallout 3, New Vegas and Skyrim have left Bethesda standing aloft, firmly setting the bar for both fantasy, and most importantly, post apocalyptic gaming. But whilst the fantasy genre has been bombarded with newer, shinier, more onlineier versions, the nuke scorched wastes have been left sundered and alone. Why bring this up you don’t ask? Well I’ll tell you.
Its the first time Bethesda has ever held its own conference at E3, an exciting prospect for gamers all round, but definitely setting the internet on fire for Fallout junkies like myself. Why now, after such ball breaking success would they bother with a whole dang conference just for themselves? To announce a Wolfenstein sequel? Maybe Dishonoured 2 deserves such honour? So why the effort? What would be worth such glorious fanfare? Not ESO 2 I’ll tell you that for free. If you’re now thinking, wait, what about the next REAL Elder Scrolls game, go away.
Its not like they made two spectacular games, in six years, completely reinvigorating a whole genre of gaming, to just drop it like so much irradiated meat after its roaring success, to never speak another word of it. Because if they did, that would leave people hungry for the next one. Not ever speaking about it on the other hand, ever, even in the loosest terms, would drive people to weird, angry non wasteland places. Huh, who’da guessed. They definitely did all of this.
So obviously this E3 announcement has drawn in the rapt attention from every dusty Fallout nerd there ever was. To be fair, this is not a hard attention to grab as the Fallout community writhes around at the merest whisper of a Fallout 4 rumour. But this time, I tell myself whilst sobbing, will be different. No more rumours, no more lies. Just plain straight righteous-ness in the form of a mother flippin’ official Fallout 4 announcement.
On a more serious note, if a new Fallout isn’t announced there is going to major, massive, hideous problems for Bethesda, cause as a collective we’re all still pretty mad with you for just abandoning us to the wastes. That’s all the warning you get.
