Bethesda Teases... Something

Bethesda Teases... Something

[vine=bFPjjheVnau]​

Bethesda Softworks insists that whatever it's teasing in the short Vine video clip isn't related to Fallout.

A four-second video clip turned up on Bethesda's Vine account earlier today, and nobody has any idea what it is. It begins with a shot of barbed wire before transitioning to quick flashes of music-related paraphernalia, which the good folks at Polygon [http://www.polygon.com/2013/4/16/4230720/bethesda-teaser-video-vintage-music-barbed-wire] did a fine job of nailing down: an early 20th century album by The Moonbeam Trio entitled "Planned program service. Program no. 416," and then what is apparently sheet music for "Air on the G-String" by J.S. Bach.

It's about time for a new Fallout game but Pete Hines, Bethesda's vice president of PR and marketing, nixed that idea on Twitter [https://twitter.com/DCDeacon]. Responding to a suggestion that the video could be a Fallout 4 teaser, he wrote, "You talking about the Vine thing? Guess again "

So what could it be? Give us your guesses!

Barb wire? I think I see ANOTHER prison in Bethesda's future.

 

[Fappy]

New IP!? Yes, please! I'd prefer they work on a new IP over Fallout 4 anyway.

Not Fallout 4, but Fallout: Another Random Town

Alternatively, barbed wire, scratchy noise, maybe a horror game? Maybe Id's in the toilet and Bethesda are going to have a crack at one of their franchises? The record's from the early 1900s, so maybe it's Wolfenstein?

Anyway, that's my stab in the dark.

Some news or announcement on a new Fallout would be really nice, but a new IP could be interesting.

 

[INeedAName]

Yay! Fallout 4!

... Wait, no new Fallout? Damnit Bethesda, stop just sitting on that stupid license and get to it!

Seriously, though, my best bet would be a new IP. Since the last new IP (published) by Bethesda was Dishonored, I'm okay with that.

 

[Latinidiot]

Oh, intrigue and wonder! I do hope it isn't fallout, I'm curious now.

 

[Absolutionis]

Fallout would be nice, but without Obsidian at the head, it'll be meh.

Maybe Bethesda will finally release Horse Armor for Dishonored.

It's a MEMOSPORE silly Escapists.

In The Elder Scrolls universe, when a mortal dies, his/her soul either gets claimed (normally by a Daedra Lord), or enters the Dreamsleeve to get recycled back to life. Because the Dreamsleeve connects all souls, talented mages can use it to communicate with each other. Data stored on the Dreamsleeve is called memospore.

Enlighten yourselves, n'wahs.

While I must admit I would be looking forward to Fallout 4, a possible new IP is just as intriguing, if not more so.

 

[The Last Nomad]

Well if its not Fallout I don't really know enough about other bethesda IPs to even guess... But that Hines comment kinda reinforces the idea that they are working on Fallout 4 at the moment/are ready to announce it. He could have said something like, "We're not teasing Fallout 4" but he referenced the vine thing, saying that wasn't a FO tease meaning we might be getting confirmation of that soon...

Or maybe thats just wishful thinking.

 

[Gabanuka]

Maybe if they hold up on Fallout 4 long enough Obsidian will make it.

That's preferable really. Then again I guess they have their hands full with Eternity

 

[DRTJR]

Just let Obsidian handle Fallout, they do it better anyway.

 

[mad825]

There's also johann sebastian bach - orchestral suites on the Vinal disc.

A renaissance Steam punk game?

 

[C117]

A game taking place during World War I... perhaps?

I dunno, I think that could be interesting.

 

[amuasyeas]

Remember Portal ARG? This is the same thing for Elder Scrolls.

 

[Midniqht]

I'm hoping for a new IP more than anything Fallout related. I think the world is ready for something new and exciting instead of just more of the same. Although something tells me that the very fact that there's a teaser and the response of "Guess again" means it will be a sequel (or maybe prequel) to something already out in the world.

 

[Shadow-Phoenix]

Whenever I see barbed wire I think of world war themes but since this is Beth I'm going to remain open minded for this and hopeful.
