Those worried about leaked info here on these forums

"Posting links to any leaked material will result in a warning and posting suspension."

While I am happy with this announcement. I'm curious, when they say "gone gold." Besides the fact that the game is finished, no more editing, coding, etc. Does it include, there "testers" have gone through the whole game. Found potential bugs, freezes, glitches, framerate issues, etc etc...Then fixed all that and then say its okay to ship out?

All they have done is said it is good enough to make disks from. Current build will be on distributed disks, or as much as they put on the media.

Anything fixed between now and 10 November will be in an expected Day Zero patch.

Gotcha, thanks.

Thanks for this link. It gave me a lot of insight of what's going on Twitter. But I noticed that Mr. Hines is answering many questions but curiously he's avoiding the questions about how big the downloadable data is going to be. He keeps saying that not all the content is on the dvd(s). Why is he avoiding the questions? Is it hard to say, " You need to download 50%(or whatever) of the game via Steam". Also, he keeps saying how Beth has been using Steam for more than 10 years. Well, of course but this is the first freaking time they are doing this bullcrap about downloading some of the main content via Steam.

i bet is there is day zero patch and they still nailing down how big it will be also i expect a Pc HQ texture pack like skyrim last one weighted in at 4.4GB which was almost more than the base game.

With my weak internet speed, I don't mind downloading a 5 even a 7GB patch even if I have to bite my tongue from swearing. The Witcher 3 had big ass patches like these. But downloading a freaking 20+GB game like Metal Gear Solid 5 TPP, that's plain ridiculous for those who have slow internet.

i agree im with ya i just what said above is prob why he hasn't confrimed details

All aboard the Hype Train TOOT TOOT!! The best thing about this year, that apart from the trailers I haven't been listening to any of the pre-release jargon that I normally do! Im actually enjoying it, just reading little bits and pieces and thankful that Bethesda are pretty much keeping the Storyline a secret is great!

Can't wait, not long now guys and girls

Hardly matters though, once any info leaks it will be on every website dedicated to Fallout. Big thread titles like "Your spouse is dead! Shaun is alive!", stuff like that (I made this up lol). The real issue isn't right now though, it's a few days ahead of launch (from about the 5th of November) when people start getting their copies in the mail early. It happens more and more frequently. Ahead of the GTA V launch on PS3/360 so many people already had their copy that major plotlines were more or less common knowledge before the game was even officially released. Just two months ago I got MGS V about five days early because for some reason my local game store had one single copy on the shelves so far ahead of the official launch.

Anyway, what I mean to say is that through all kinds of means people are getting games earlier and earlier nowadays. If you don't want to be spoiled you really ought to avoid websites dedicated to Fallout 4 from about a week ahead of release. You're fine as long as you stick to the official Bethesda Twitter account, blog, things like that. But on forums and Reddit pages people go nuts with leaks and info from people with early access.

Yeah, I think for the next two weeks, those who don't want to be spoiled by anything that's in Fallout 4, they should steer clear of everything Fallout until the release date.

In other words: Lord, did the time fly. Feels like yesterday, it was June and the game was just being announced.

Yeah about that. Sorry for digging up the old thread lol! But at least we don't have very long to wait now until launch

PS: please call off your Dagon buddies, they're outside my door now and they don't look happy!

Lol, make that a double. Show me some more gameplay footage, mainly the secret Gamescom footage, then maybe I'll get excited.

It would be hilarious if they only made 27 versions. Imagine the chaos, lol. Still hearing that Fallout 4 is actually finished feels so surreal to think that this time last year I gave up.

Very well.
