OK, that settles it: I'll never buy another Fallout game until they make this.SalamanderJoe said:
Seriously - LONDON!
Cobbled streets! Ancient masonry! A vast network of underground tunnels! (Much like the subways from Fallout 3, only bigger and MUCH more varied!) Junkyards overflowing with the rusting remains from 500 years of industrial development! Dark, fog-shrouded alleys patrolled by mutant corgies (orange-furred Yao Guai?) who see EVERYTHING THAT MOVES as a threat to their mouldy masters!
It will probably be the closest possible thing to post-apocalyptic steampunk! AND we'll finally see what's happening outside the USA!
Fallout kinda needs to take place in America. It's seeped in so much 50's American culture that changing now would be a death sentence on the series, the reason for this being that much of the art direction is based on the 1950s American idea of the future. Uprooting it would wipe the slate clean, and Fallout fans would hate that immensely.
Basically it wouldn't work because there is an established sense of identity in the Fallout version of America, which really wouldn't work outside the United States.

Technically, that would be Fallout 5. Everyone forgets about Tactics. I think there was also a Brotherhood of Steel game on the PS2 so that would make New Vegas #6Akisa said:
I agree. The only other country I think might work is Canada and that's because there could still be themes of strong Americanism, considering that Canada was annexed by the states. The 1950's American culture of Fallout has a slight propaganda craze, just imagine how much pro-American propaganda would be in a recently annexed country.GentlemanFist said:
I think it would be slightly different without changing the theme much, like you said. That and it might be nice to have some different terrain.
I was thinking something like that. Or maybe Detroit and southern Michigan putting the "winter" back in nuclear winter lolTheron Julius said:
Australia...it would be pretty awesome, it would be more open roads though and there would be boats,cars and mabey vertibirds...also mutant Kangaroos.
characterA: havent we already visited the west coast throught the eyes of fallout before?
characterb:why yes we have it was called Fallout tactics and it was awesome

I would like to see what the rest of the world looks like. Maybe they should set it in a different country. Unless there is some kind of lore reason not to move it to another country.
People keep saying it must be taken abroad. Perhaps this will happen, but China, Japan and Russia are all out. Wherever they take it would be a native english-speaking country so as to avoid the silly accent solution, the subtitle solution, the usual "everyone just speaks english everywhere on the planet anyways" solution and still not change markets.
As mentioned above, South Africa and Australia would be likely candidates.
Another thing is that they want landmarks that the players will be familiar with. This was what made DC so perfect.
USA is such a good choice still. Americans love it because it's familiar, and the rest of us love it because we like seeing the US burning

Now, this is going to be the thermonuclear bomb of all video game/politics/moral warrior outrage...but I'd like to see a Fallout game done in the deep South. Practically anywhere along the Gulf would be awesome, but I'm eyeballing Houston, New Orleans, or the Everglades as prime candidates. Heck, with a New Orleans setting in Skyrim's engine you could make the game's map the Mississippi delta and a good chunk upriver. Just imagine what the guys responsible for the flora and fauna in Morrowind could do in a nuclear post-apocalyptic game set in the Everglades.
It would be a great idea to completely take the piss on FO2/NV standbys, by having a New Confederacy that embraces slavery and antebellum culture juxtaposed with retro-futurist aesthetics, tribals and "raiders" who make up an underground railroad and embrace technology in the absence of the BoS, mutant rednecks a la Point Lookout, and even some hilariously-mutated animals...mutant opossum or armadillo, anyone?
Heck, even deconstruct the typical FO origins and such. The southern Vault Dwellers were the ones who built the New Confederacy, and the PC is a slave who escapes somehow. That could let the player select race opposed to being forced to play human.
Either way, I don't really care as long as they add vehicles and vehicular combat. Heh.

The entire point of Fallout is America after the end of the world, there wont ever be a Fallout set in another countryultrachicken said:
No. Setting Fallout in another country would ruin the series trademark feel of "Hey look it's american dream gone awry". And that exact feel makes Fallout stand out from other RPG's.
If a Fallout's going to be set in another country, I could only imagine it either being Canada (Toronto's been mentioned in Fallout 3) or parts of Mexico if it takes place in the desert again. One of the key aspects of Fallout is the heavy use of post-war/space age American culture, and it wouldn't be Fallout without that.
As for the trailer, I didn't think it looked that good (not that bad either, just not professional quality), and the #1 thing that made it an obvious fake, at least for me, was that they used the old Spiderman font PLAYSTATION3 logo at the end, which hasn't been in use for almost two years.

The entire point of Fallout is exploring a post apocalyptic wasteland and interacting with the inhabitants. People can scream about how all Fallouts have been in America thus far, and therefore all Fallouts should be, but the truth is the setting of America does not offer anything new at this point. It has grown stale, and I think a change would be nice.The_Blue_Rider said:
Fallout: New Vegas had more similarities to the originals than Fallout 3 ever did. It deserves to be called Fallout 3, and Fallout 3 should be Fallout: Capital Wasteland.adamson1000 said:

8. I don't know about you guys, but the video I just saw was buggy.
9. Music was bugged or just wrong - probably both as he didn't want to get sued
10. See #4, Bethesda love to use upbeat and happy music - then pull a bleak reveal. Wonderfully dark humor. Totally missing here.
11. The choice of imagery was (sorry lad) unimaginative. What were we looking at, the Brotherhood-of-Steel-Bluesmobile?
12. It's on YouTube.
Also, I don't agree with #7. And it will be relatively soon. Not this year as they appear to still be milking FO:NV for DLC, but soon. It will be even more console-friendly, and I fully expect to hate the PC version. I'm not looking to pick that fight here. I'm just saying that seems to be "the way of things."
