Mycroft H · 28-11-2013 2:56pm

Oh I just love marketing like this

I cant wait till a mod edits the 1st post and removes the (unconfirmed) part

Mycroft H · 28-11-2013 3:19pm

Well it's as near as confirmed as makes no difference now.

McSasquatch · 28-11-2013 3:29pm

That siren is actually quite dread inducing!

pixelburp · 28-11-2013 3:35pm

Yeah, even though none of us ever suffered the horrors of nuclear war (and many here would have been born after the threat of it was at its highest), there's something oddly primal about that siren. I actually shuddered a little when it blared into my headphones, the feeling of dread instantaneous. I need to go have a long shower haha...

noodler · 28-11-2013 4:44pm

Has someone put the full recordings up yet?

ShiverinEskimo · 28-11-2013 4:52pm

There's an air-raid siren across the road from me house used by a fabrication yard to signal lunchtime and home time each day. Can be heard all over Dundalk. Grew up with it.

Never had the feeling of dread others get from it.

Well mine is the nearest house to it so it's not hard to work out where I live.

Needless to say I've never slept past 1pm in my life.

Actually, I'm wrong, I thought the siren was coming from somewhere else entirely (now that I've looked it up). Presumed as a child and never realised the mistake!

Still though, that's testament to how bloody loud the thing is.

Yep can hear it throughout town and as far out as Kilkerley at least on a good day (where I live now).

Anyways. This is slightly OT.

Go Fallout 4!

Local-womanizer · 28-11-2013 6:30pm

So fallout 4 is set in Dundalk?!! :P

Mycroft H · 28-11-2013 6:33pm

Dundalk would actually look better too.

After lots of nukes.

dreamers75 · 28-11-2013 11:35pm

Dundalk can never have enough nukes imo

ShiverinEskimo · 28-11-2013 11:43pm

Why don't we get back to Boston and Fallout 4 before this gets territorial.

lol

Air Raid Siren implies that the time and location was under attack right there and then, whereas Fallout is set after the nuke war.

So was the location not affected as much as other locales?

If it's in Boston, I really hope there's a ghoul prostitute and at least one line involving "hardah, hardah!"

Do you all remember this from summer 2012? About the dev team going on location to take pictures of MIT etc?

It doesn't seem to have been brought up since the morse code promos and it seems like further evidence its being set in Boston.

Obviously I will have to start a Bring it Back to Dundalk petition but thats for another day.

Yah sure, but its quite a leap of faith to think people have reread the entire thread (from 2012) once this morse stuff became news.

Basically my point is that the Morse stuff seems to confirm Boston rather than just suggest it.

The two points together make a much stronger case.

15 minutes or so until the timer stops on Thesurvivor2299.com finishes. What will it be?

The code reads THE INSTITUTE IS SEALED. THEY WON’T HELP US I’M HEADING TO BLACK ROW. -TBNLS 5120-
aparantly The new morse code means Calling all stations, this is overseer 119 emergency enemy unknown, SOS. Vault 119 Quabbin 7667, repeat, SOS, Vault 119 Quabbin 7667 enemy unknown”

No, speakers on and Morse nonexistent

Was playing some FNV today and thinking about Fallout 4. Fallout 3 and FNV were by far my favourite games from the current(or last now I suppose) generation of consoles and I'm a pretty big gamer. Just hope whatever Bethesda is doing with F4 doesn't differ from the gameplay and mechanics seen in 3 and NV it's already perfect in my eyes just needs a graphical uplift and to be able to run smoother

Frankie5Angels · 02-12-2013 5:20pm

I've only ever played NV on 360, but I have it on the laptop as I got it in a Steam sale. I know it's heresy, but can I use the controller? I want to play it and all the DLC and maybe throw in a few mods if I can figure out how!

As far I as I know you can't? Unless it's a wired one then you can yes

You can use the wireless one but need a USB wireless adapter for it if using a 360 pad.

Frankie5Angels · 03-12-2013 10:49am

Thanks lads, yeah it's the wired one so no issues there. Can I assign functions to the buttons? Sorry for the noob questions!

Most games contain mapping or various configurations in the options menu just like the 360. Fallout should be the same but I wouldn't know off-hand.

It's the business - Plenty of cheap games that look better that are normally shíte with Mouse+KB at your finger-tips. While this isn't the case with Fallout I played NV on the 360 and had no issues. But when it came to Arkham Origins, Tomb Raider and Mark of the Ninja (to name a few I played lately) it was great.

Dcully · 03-12-2013 12:30pm

Hi guys i have both Fallout 3 and New vegas only played a bit of both, ran into crash issues with Fallout and got fed up of it, then bought NV on steam sale last year.
Im thinking of giving both a playthrough , should i play F3 before NV or does it matter?

Story wise they are unrelated. But NV did improve on a lot of things offered by F3 (naturally) so you might find F3 a bit clunky and backward in some aspects if you play them the opposite way around.

Either way though, playing them back to back will be a serious commitent of time. I would break them up with a couple of quick games so you don't get overdosed on nucelar winter.
