Fallout 4 in three years?

Bethesda Softworks is a company that knows how to take its time. It's internal development team works on one game and one game only. This time its Fallout 3, the post-apocalyptic RPG that's due in stores next week for the PC and other platforms.

However, is the next Fallout game only a few years away? In a new Reuters story that talks about game sequels, Bethesda Softworks' producer Todd Howard supposedly said that "three years is a good time frame between games." That could be a big hint that Fallout 4 could be released in 2011. It certainly would be much closer than the 10 year gap between Fallout 2 (developed and publisher by the franchises former owner Interplay) and Fallout 3.

Can i preorder Fallout 4 now?Posted at 11:34AM on Oct 24th 2008 by Dan

Wait hold up, there is something I don't get. Why does everyone cry and moan when a game developer takes too long on a sequel. When they are usually trying to put out a good game to follow up its predecessor. Do you actually think that it’s just a copy and paste kinda job, these things do take time?

On the other side of the coin. Developers please DO NOT and I stress DO NOT rush to put sequels out on the Market just to keep your share holders happy. Screw them, besides Gaming is an industry that relies on its Gamers (GAH-DUH), and not the Bored of Directors. Look, take your time, hell take three or four years I don’t care. Just STOP FLOODING THE MARKET WITH SH***Y GAMES and making me get so excited and wasting my 60 to 70 bucks on CRAP. If I wanted to play with crap I can make plenty of it on my own.
