What I don't understand is if it is real.. wouldn't it be directing people to these forums? Wouldn't we be seeing this site gearing up for updates and changes?

Why would Bethesda direct people away from their own forums to another site and why are we seening no signs of changes here?

Shouldn't see be seeing updates?

or rather just a bunch of people who are lurking some forums at 9pm on a sunday

It's definitely a problem for the users that this [censored] is happening here and not a thread of its own due to what ever reason.

It's for the moderators to deciede what is spam. Feel free to report if you feel the urge too.

But I agree the simple that or that has changed is better be posted on reddit.

like they never pissed off their fans before. . . .

WHY DIDN'T BETHESDA JUST DISMISS THIS !!!!! They could have kept people from getting pissed off, and wasting their time.

It's on topic you don't have a right to be annoyed if you are then this thread isn't for you and you should discuss the contents with your local friendly moderator

It's the fun of the chase most are aware that it's likely fake, I've said it's fake since the beginning.

I wouldn't say just a bunch of people in this thread alone are 150 people. Reddit even bigger.

I quite frankly don't think they care at this point, it'd more of a hassle for them to sort through the spam than it would to just let it run its course. So since they ain't doing anything I figured i might as well ask people to calm down a little and wait for the timer to reach 0 and see what happens before they start posting again.

Yes I have the right. Whether or it leads to anything is out my hands. This "yes hoax - not hoax" "12 hours - 0.6 hours" "up and down, merry go around" [censored] is drowning everything else. It's a bad form of running this no matter where you look at it. I don't mind waiting for things to calm down, but if there was a reason to discuss anything related to this topic, it can't be done here (and it can't be done elsewhere either because this is THE thread to do it).

Because for better or for worse, this is getting people talking about Fallout. This is free publicity for them.

I do believe the site is a hoax, but it's not a stretch to think that FO4 will be announced in the (relatively) near future.

I'm just going to watch the Russian count down since that works :L

in all fairness, it's not their fault we took one tiny little vault logo and extrapolated a new game from it.

if this is indeed fake then its a big fake imo..i never saw so much dedication for a trollolol

Any press is good press! [Not really true, but is a very commonly believed misconception.]

An example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25174266

They certainly wouldn't change it to an hour that would be 2:30 in the morning (CST).

I agreed the suggestion side of the thread has been crushed by the volume of posts for the speculation side but that's the moderators problem

yea, he/she will definitely get into the troll HOF for this one. I doubt it was worth all the time and money spent though

Got to give them credit for such a fake, if it is indeed one, because of how much effort they've gone to.

heck, it will be after midnight for the entire continental US

A pretty good explanation for the added time on the timer from reddit (it follows the events pretty good):

Bethesda should hire the guy who's trolling us, he sure knows how to hype the crowds.

Problem is it never reached zero.
