I think I read somewhere that either The Institute or vault 119 was somewhere in Boston Massachusetts, I think that it was supposed to be a be a branch of MIT.
I also really want it to be real, but i highly doubt this isnt just some super elaborate troll.

"Not much is known about the setting of Fallout 4 so far. When asked to give hints as to the setting of the next Fallout game, Jason Bergman said (translated from Norwegian), "You'll get no tips from me. But the Mojave Wasteland was a fun place to explore, wasn't it?"
The page with the original interview being quoted, for reference: http://www.spill.no/default.aspx?section=artikkel&id=1030
Now we're getting hints about a nuclear winter. If the original quote translated as "a fun place to patrol," I'd be completely sold.
At the same time, the Creation Engine is just a beefed up Gamebryo, from what I heard, and considering how unstable Skyrim is, I'd say it has the exact same problems as its predecessor, so the point still stands.amaranth_dru said:
OT: Really hoping it's really for Fallout 4, I need my fix. Just as long as they actually do more testing than they did for FO3 and make sure it works.

Also black hidden text on that site as well.
A few other of the morse codes make reference to the "GREAT GAME". The game was originally brought up in point lookout by Desmond.

In addition to the mention of the Institute (which is essentially just MIT-after-the-nukes, I think?), the "quabbin" referred to in the Morse code likely references the Quabbin Reservoir, one of Boston's main sources of water, which is another point in favor of the Boston area as the likely location if this isn't a hoax.Zarifix said:
(Worth noting: the creation of the reservoir necessitated the evacuation and flooding of four different towns, and there are urban legends and the like about how you can still see the abandoned houses at the bottom of the reservoir. In reality, all that's left are the outlines of cellars, but that would be something Bethesda could pull from to build its world...maybe radioactive drowned zombies or something?)
But yeah. Living in Massachusetts, I very much like the possibility of playing a game set here, and even if it isn't anything like a Massachusetts I'd recognize, I'm intrigued to see what Bethesda would do with all of the local history available.
A few bugs on the PC version, but mostly I just enjoyed playing it on the couch more than in the computer room. And I don't plan on getting an XBone or PS4 in the next few years as neither impress me in the least. (I'm one of those guys who boots up his Xbox 360 to play Xbox 360 games, not watch TV, browse the net, chat with friends, etc. I just want to play the damned games, ya know?)suitepee7 said:
what is nuclear winter anyway? ive heard that phrase a lot referring to fallout games but i never found out the meaning.ticklefist said:
a nuclear winter is similar to an impact winter, the dust and paritcles from so many nuclear bombs going off, and from all the stuff they burn, end up covering the sky, and blocking out the sun, which causes the entire world to cool down, and freeze into a winter.bullet_sandw1ch said:

Heh. Yeah. I have to say I was both amazed and appalled at Falskaar. Amazed at how well crafted it was as a fan edition, yet appalled at how much better it was than the expansions offered by the people who actually built the fucking game.undeadsuitor said:
They were made by two different developers, Fallout 3 was made by Bethesda and Fallout: New Vegas was made by Obsidian Entertainment. Obsidian Entertainment is a reformation of the head developers that made up Black Isle Studios the developer that made Fallout 1&2. I think that's really the reason why New Vegas was so much better than Fallout 3, it was made by the people who thought up the universe in the first place. Fallout 3 is a really great game on it's own, but it's really stiff as a Fallout game, Bethesda tried really hard to infuse it with some kind of sappy, messiah driven hope complex. This is antithetical to the tone of Fallout. The nuclear apocalypse that causes this environment also shadows the whole wasteland with cynicism, it's post hope, the worst possible failure of humankind hangs over it, which is why it's balanced with pitch black humor. Fallout 3 just doesn't match that, they try with three dog telling stories of hope and with an old woman with a violin and some guy dressed up as a bee, but it just doesn't cut it, it comes off as tragic and sad, and that just makes the game environment seem so much more empty.digital warrior said:
Sort of got off point there.
The point is that if Fallout 4 is developed by Bethesda my expectations are going to be lower than if it's developed by Obsidian. Why? Because Obsidian has developed three Fallout games and Bethesda has developed one. If they learn from New Vegas, awesome, if they make it about family relationships and hope and fuzzy feelings, I'm going to be annoyed.
OH NO!SajuukKhar said:
NO!
Oh please no.
No.
The wheels are turning. They developed those snow visuals and mechanics for the creation engine and by thunder they're going to use them...
They're going to make it look like Skyrim aren't they?! That's why they keep talking about Nuclear "Winter". They're going to take my nice orange sun beaten Mojave and cover it in vile, repugnant, shifting, chalky, frozen sky excrement!
Well we all know F3 and NV did really well, so a new Fallout is in the making. Just taking ages, the last one came out in 2010, though if they were working since F3 then thats 2008. So i really do think there will be one next christmas. Though i hate the lack of confirmation though i hope we find out during E3.
Well....... Shit.
I wanted to believe so bad.
It's actually pretty impressive just how much effort went into the whole thing.
On a more hopeful note, Bethesda did still register the copyright for Fallout 4 so at least it's coming SOMEDAY.

So, it was all a hoax?
Wow, I know that I, as well as many Fallout fans, should be upset about this but I am most impressed at how this was planned out and all the puzzles that was put on the website.
The person/people should be applauded before the rabid fans get them.
I bow to the masters.
