havent been following this at all, heard about the site, then heard many quickly disregard it because of the whois info. Guess now there is solid proof that the site is a real ARG?

Not really, but Beth hasn't denied it yet, either.

 

[Creaking]

Probably 360/PS3/PS4/XONE/PC I'd bet. Maximum audience.

Though I would be okay with PS4/XONE/PC

Spoiler

I just want pc cause i don't wanna have to buy a new console

It's a Beth game. It'll be a sad day when they don't release for PC.

 

[Milennia]

This is awesome.. Seriously, body is trembling after seeing that 4.

 

[lighthouse777]

I just want to see todd howard
at VGX!!!!!!

 

[EekumBokum]

Woah. Oblivion and Fallout 3 were absolutely amazing to get lost in. Hopefully a VGX reveal mean release for 2014.

 

[HK-47]

The options of NV and story of F3 = amazing

Why would we want a dumb story that makes no sense?

 

[Blue Ninja]

Looks like Reddit came to the same conclusion I did, that the Propheteer website is most likely unrelated/fake.

 

[Horse Detective]

I'm still excited, but the fact that the "End of the world" teaser was faked has me fairly angry. I really loved it.

 

[merrick97]

Fallout 4 being next gen only is the best possible thing that could happen to it.

So sickening the way the previous games were held back by last gen tech.

 

[Patryn]

Well, here's an official Bethesda denial that they're showing anything at VGX:

No, folks. I am not going to VGX. Bethesda is not showing/talking about anything at VGX. Just some PR meetings in LA. Take deep breaths.

Pete Hines is the vice president of Bethesda and is in charge of public relations.

I cannot believe it. I WILL NOT BELIEVE IT.

The countdown timer ends later, and they haven't said anything about that yet...

all developments of this site:

Since VGX is on 7th and the timer ends only at 11th, there is still hope

Uhm guys... GUYS. http://thepropheteer.com/ found by someone in the Bethesda forums. Last updated the same day that thesurvivor2299.com showed up.

When you resize the browser window you get this http://i.imgur.com/7o32gqp.png. (after the circles finish showing up)

GUYS.

EDIT: Also this tweet from January... https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/296754990222045184 SEEYA AT VGX FALLOUT 4!

What's up with the music now? It doesn't even spin anymore.

 

[diaspora]

Fallout 3 once modded looked un-fucking-real. I can't wait to see what FO4 looks like 1080p 60fps with graphics mods.

One of my favorite songs

This seems like such a blatant fake now though.

Yeah, as much as I love Gary Numan I think that's the final nail in the coffin of the chance of it being real.

As much as I'd love some sort of Fallout spinoff/retcon where 70s and 80s new wave music survived, I don't think that's ever going to happen.

Also "that'sallfolks.jpg"

That they put "Property of ZeniMax Media Inc. All Rights Reserved." in the header is hilarious.

Well, at least I get a free copy of cars in both MP3 and OGG format out of this ordeal.

Holy shit that was elaborate and a lot of work haha

 

[Intheflorsh]

Oh man. Too good.

 

[EekumBokum]

http://thesurvivor2299.com
Haha rickrolled.

FUCK, I should never have trusted that site to be real.

 

[hemtae]

Well its going to be awhile until Fallout 4.

 

[BeekleMatter]

Bethesda did a great job of denying that rumor right away and not letting their fanbase be disappointed... oh.. wait..

 

[Intheflorsh]

What if this is just a genius level troll to catch everyone off guard when they reveal the game at VGX?

I don't think that rick rolling your fan base is that great of an idea lol.

Edit: But then again these same angry fans would come straight back on board if Bethesda revealed something.

 

[gAg CruSh3r]

So much disappointment ...

 

[djshauny]

I knew something like that would happen lol

For fuck sakes, i cannot believe someone actually did this shit.

 

[Gabriel_Logan]

Tunnel Snakes Rule.

 

[Patryn]

http://thesurvivor2299.com
Haha rickrolled.

Knew it. Though, this is a much unclassier end than I expected. Still, I can't feel bad for those people at Reddit who devoted hours delving into the site and ignoring all the obvious signs it was fake.

They will make bank when they sell the domain, given the traffic it's drawn in the past month or so.

 

[TripleT1]

Profound sadness :'(

But the tunnel snakes vid was hilarious.

 

[GravyButt]

So sad.

 

[legacyzero]

I fucking hate the internet some times

 

[L1NETT]

But kudos the guy/people involved in doing that. Hell of a hoax.

Expecting the Fallout of this to be quite severe though.

Spoiler

i'll get my coat

 

[Jblanks]

Too good to be true. This plus the Destiny delay, has been a bad day for a gamer. Hopefully some good news tomorrow.

 

[Anustart]

Now imagine what would happen if someone trolled the Half Life community with something like this. Blood would be spilled.

 

[rjinaz]

I fucking hate the internet some times

qft.

 

[A Serious Man]

It's not fake, they're announcing a Tunnel Snakes spin-off.

Fallout 4: Tunnel Snake Stories

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Now imagine what would happen if someone trolled the Half Life community with something like this. Blood would be spilled.

Perma bans would be distributed. Death tolls would happen. Chaos would ensue.

Spoiler

Valve would have said it's fake in the first day.

Bethesda should have come out immediately and said that site was fake anyway. It's not like no one over there reads GAF.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

It's not fake, they're announcing a Tunnel Snakes spin-off.

MC is a Tunnel Snake. An android Tunnel Snake.

I really wanted this to be real. But the propheteer website, my hope now lays with it.

Looking at this again, that was so clever.

I hope the "real" PR stuff is like this.

Also, anyone capture that flash file. I like it for a backup

 

[ezekial45]

Very ballsy for them do this. Mean, but ballsy.

It must've cost them a lot.

 

[S0N0S]

I don't understand, ZeniMax owns the domain. So fake registrar info, then. Is that not illegal in some capacity?

I'm sure there's a better forum for this, but what (couple) mods would you recommend for visual upgrades? I platinumed the ps3 version when it came out but recently bought the GOTY edition during the last steam sale. Might fire it up soon.
