Within the last couple of days a site by the name of thesurvivor2299.com has gone live, and it features a countdown which will expire, at time of writing, in 24 days on December 11. Rumours and speculation have led to murmurings that this site is related to Fallout 4, and it almost certainly is.
The first big piece of evidence comes from Whois which shows that the site was indeed registered by ZeniMax Media. ZeniMax is the parent company of Bethesda, the main publisher/developer behind the Fallout series.
Couple this with tweets from Three Dog voice actor Erik Todd Dellums who is doing he own teasing and mentioning Fallout, and linking to songs that would fit right in with a radio set for a DJ in that particular universe.

Everyone wants to know, “Is it real? Is it official?” All I can do is smile! http://t.co/i98n6V1WyM #ShareLove #ThreeDog #FalloutDreams

Of course this could be an elaborate ruse, a very well made one at that, but we’ll find out either on December 11th or when/if Bethesda come out and say it isn’t real. What do you reckon, and where would you like to see the next Fallout to be set?
Personally I’d enjoy a setting near the Great Lakes region because not only do you have a new environmental setting away from deserts and major destroyed cities, but also potential new problems thanks to the presence of the Canadian border. Could you imagine a Brotherhood of Steel style Mounties faction? Because that’d be great.

Fallout 4 is the game that will change my PS4 interest from a “probably next year” to “I MUST HAVE THIS NOW”
Please be true!

It’d be great to see a new Fallout game appear on PS4. Enjoyed the last 2 games even though they were “bugged to fuckery” as Tuffcub put it.
