This website was apparently registered by ZeniMax studios, and the site suggests that an announcement fallout related will appear December 11th. If this is fake, someone is getting water boarded

I'll put it at 6 to 1 being legit. There is an age gate hidden in the source code of the page.

EDIT: In addition, if you sit there long enough. Some Morse Code audio starts repeating.

EDIT 2: I'll throw up a 5 to 1 that it's fake. And 100 to 1 that Bethesda deliberately made it this way to make red herrings.

fallout is like definitely one of my top 3 favorite game series, and it's disheartening that they haven't released any content about it so far. Stupid fucking elder scrolls online

In the files there is a link to the .mp3 file for it. But I haven't been able to pull the file yet to analyze it.

The presence of a meaningless HTML comment that links to an official Bethesda property does not mean the page isn't a hoax. A number of elements of this page smack of a wannabe ARG-prankster. Admittedly, it could just be Bethesda going the extra mile, but I think it's much more likely that this page was made by some guy in Poland with too much time on his hands.

The morse code translates to:

12.11.13 11.12.13

Which is the same date as the countdown, in both NA and EU formats.

Trying to connect to the RTMP servers listed in the HTML comments leads nowhere, as they do not include a playpath. As far as I know, that is a required component of an RTMP address.

From No Mutants Allowed the #1 fallout fan site since fallout 1

THESURVIVOR2299.com isn't a Fallout 4 teaser website

Posted by WorstUsernameEver - at 20:21 - Thursday, November 14, 2013

The case is this: a website by the url of thesurvivor2299.com has recently appeared, and would seem to be registered by ZeniMax Media according to the whois data. The game plays a radio file called Bridgeport (likely referencing the Connecticut city, assuming the teaser site is legit) that consists in a series of beeps that can be decoded in morse code, and, according to Redditor curswine translates to "12.11.13 11.12.13". assuming the first is an American format date and the second European, that would means 11 December 2013, which means it'd likely align with the VGAs, which Bethesda already used to announce Skyrim in 2010.

Of course, this might all be a fake. ZeniMax has never used GoDaddy to register a web domain before as far as I'm aware, but CorporateDomains, and after the Half Life 3 European trademark prank I'll need Pete Hines to come to my room and tell me before I stop taking this with a pound of salt.

Original source: Reddit (via The Escapist)

EDIT: Checking the domain IP shows 5.133.13.121, which leads to d13121.vibiznes.pl. Needless to say, there's no way Bethesda would use a Polish host, so this is a fake.

Fallout 3 and NV were on an ancient engine, and as a result had atrocious combat and graphics. Yet they were still amazing games. The thought of a next generation fallout game with good combat/graphics makes me want to jump for joy.

I really want this game to be good, but deep down I know that Bethesda will have some way of making it a piece of unpolished shit.

saw some new info today (new to me, idk if you guys have seen it) that deciphered the text on the webpage to:

"MY DEAR SISTER. I'M HEADING TO THE INSTITUTE. GOD KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS PLACE NOW. THIS OLD BASTARD WILL HELP US. HE MUST HELP US. —0321—"

the institute was the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before the war, and supposedly Robert House attended it.
