Nope, I'm calling it now. Fallout 4 will be released later this year. They gain nothing by waiting this long to announce it and then putting off the release another year.
With Uncharted 4 Delayed to 2016, What Else is Out This Year?
As someone who plays FFXIV I'm looking forward to heavensward next week, but yeah that is it for this year really. I'm thinking of picking up a used ps3 and playing some of the console games that never came to PC like Red Dead and the Uncharteds. I would really be the happiest man alive if Fallout 4 came out this year but I'm not holding my breath. Gives me time to focus on my app and work on my huge steam backlog I guess.
It really does seem a little lean right out... Hopefully E3 will change that feeling. But at least I still have MGS5 to look forward too.
I don't know, personally I'm fine with the number of console exclusives we're currently getting. If it's one or two big budget releases each year, I have no problem with that. And for my tastes I tend to prefer the Sony offerings like Bloodborne and Uncharted. But we are getting so many awesome 3rd party big budget games already, like the Witcher, Batman, and Metal Gear(!) that I feel like I already have a ton of stuff to play on my console, with the exclusives being a nice bonus.
What really differentiates the machines for me are things like online services, price, performance, and controller. I felt like Sony had the advantage in all categories at launch so I went with the ps4 and have been enjoying the system quite a bit. But yeah, I'm fine with the current slate of announced games, and excitedly look forward to even more announcements at E3 :D
@nonesun: That was written three months ago before we knew when they were going to actually announce Fallout 4. Also, it coming out this year hasn't been confirmed, everyone just assumes it will.
So, what's the point in buying consoles when a decent PC allows you to play pretty much everything released?

Has anyone floated the theory that it WAS supposed to be out (or at least announced) last year, but the Boston Marathon bombings were too recent at the time? Because that, along with how unimpressive it is visually, makes me think it's been sitting on the shelf for a little while.
@friendlyphoenix: @tasus: Oh, haha. Yeah I remember now.

Price, ease of use, and reliability.
