The highly anticipated release of "Fallout 4" was dampened a bit by the recent announcement made by the game publisher, Bethesda. According to a report from gamespot.com, Bethesda said that the game will only be released for the Xbox One, Playstation 4, and the PC. The developer confirmed that the game would not be available for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
According to Bethesda Global community manager Matt Grandastaff, "It's not coming to 360 and PS3, the stuff we're doing will never work there."
According to a report from kotaku.com, the exclusivity is important because of two reasons. First, the game publishers would be able to fully utilize expanded game limits in the new platforms, especially because of the memory requirements of "Fallout." The second reason is it puts to rest all other rumors online about "Fallout 4" and the gameplay itself.
The exclusivity limits the market for the game, as only those with the newer consoles would be able to play the game set in Boston. The game will also feature the USS Constitution, which is docked on Boston harbor. It will be showcased alongside the Bunker Hill Monument and the Massachusetts State House.
With all that has been discussed, the release date of the game has not yet been revealed, according to a report from eurogamer.net. While the most resounding rumor is that it would be revealed on next week's E3 convention, another rumor is that it would be released later this year.
What is definite though is the release of the reveal trailer from the game publishers, as reported by forbes.com. The graphics were not seamless as one expects, but this is reportedly a small issue as Bethesda has a solid reputation in the gaming community for future modifications.
