10 years ago around August 2012, rumors were spreading all over The Internet/Gaming News about Bethesda employees being spotted scouting the city of Boston, Massachusetts and were "allegedly" in contact with MIT to further their research on that specific area.
According to anonymous sources of those who live and work around the area that is.
So when word got out about that, people in the community started speculating on what this entails for the upcoming installment. As Fallout 4 was FINALLY confirmed(unofficially) to be in production!
For those who are wondering, here's some of the news articles reporting on these "rumors" going around at the time:
GameRevolution:
Game Rant:
IGN:
GameSpot:
In conclusion, does anyone remember what it was like for you to hear about these rumors for the first time? Did you do believe it? Did you think that it was all baloney? What were your theories on what Fallout 4's story and setting was gonna be like?
For me, as I've said previously on how and when I got into the Fallout series. You could imagine how ecstatic I was hearing about this news, I remember going around seeing all the theories on what the story was going to be about. Especially when people were connecting the Fallout 3 Side Quest The Replicated Man to what the game's story could potentially be, and there were even discussions about the potentials of returning characters such as Doctor Madison Li. During the Broken Steel DLC, if you talk to certain characters(such as Alex Dargon) they'll mention Li going up north to The Commonwealth in pursuit to join a "great scientific community"
that's rumored to be over there. And of course, this fueled the fires of speculation!
And you know looking back now, the theories that I saw people make about the game's story, were quite frankly a lot better than what we actually got in the end.
