Who knows... Maybe the countdown will finish up and open up to a new website similar to FO3's "Prepare for the Future" thing, which I really liked, to be honest.

Then again... It could be some rich [censored] playing everyone.

Who knows...

Cos French never made it to the states? It's one voice. Nobody said the country adopted the language. And if you're gonna go on about how he could be speaking it 200 years later then go play Honest Hearts.

It's not such a complicated site that there would be a bandwith problem even with a cheap hoster.

I've seen these rumors pop up all over video game sites across the net. This thing has beef.

Is it spoke predominately here? No. But frankly the point is not whether someone could be speaking French in the Fallout world.

Its the absurdity and hoaky-ness of a french voice when teasing a game which has always been about a retro-futuristic United States. With a heaping helping of 1950s Americana.

"Orleans" is a french name. Many people in New Orleans are leftover descendents from the french occupation before the Louisiana purchase. There are French neighborhoods in New Orleans, but they don't speak mainland french, they speak what some people call "Dirty French" which is a sort of simplified dialect.

I do love me some chaos.

I personally think there's more hype to be generated by the ET Dellums tweet than the website.

Can someone translate what the guy in the new soundfile says?

Agreed, definitely agreed.

No where in the Fallout universe has there ever been any emphasis at all on the French language. Why add importance to it now? No reason at all. Either fake or Beth is already [censored] things up.

He says "Fallout 4 will be revealed at the VGA show. Give me your money."

I wish.

yeah, there's more Navaho than French in the fallout world...

Heh. Would be awesome.

The count down site can handle the amount of people accessing it. A count down is a very simple thing to run.

Completely disregard the Tumblr and Twitter though. The makers of those just want to rustle your jimmies.

Until our old buddy Todd says something, I'm not believing anything.

Yeah, I think the other sites are just fan made sites of the Countdown one...

Someone apparently attempted a rough translation. Here's what I found:

Edit: found a better translation.

The only official site is the countdown? Then who is making all those vaguely Fallout-related Twitter and especially those tumblr posts? Seems like a lot of work for such short notice to create those audio logs and pictures.

Here is the Youtube link for the translation. It's a song or a poem or something...
