In sales.

“I think this can top Skyrim,” Hines told MCV. “It could be our biggest release ever. But we will see. It is part of my job to build the megaphone that we hold up to the game, and the game decides how loud it goes. Just how big it is going to be is hard to say. Skyrim was a massively big deal.”

- Skyrim's sales topped 3.4 million physical copies in it's first two days

- Tow years later, in June, Bethesda reported 20 million copies sold

Do you think this is possible?

I thought he meant in amount of bugs/glitches/outdated graphics. ;)

It's Goty though.

Hmmm... I don't think so. Elder Scrolls probably has a much wider appeal. I would love to see it get close, though.

Hmm it's hard to say, it's been a while since Fallout 3. That being said, Fallout 3 outsold Oblivion so there is that precedent. It'll be interesting to see. It's possible.

It can definitely top Fallout 3, not sure about Skyrim. Let's wait and see.

Still GOTY though.

Depending on release date, Yes.

Fallout 4 looks amazingly boring. There might be a lot of stuff to do but the gameplay just isn't there. I think Far Cry 3 is how an open-world game should be.

I think it will sell 6.5m on xbone and 6m on ps4.

I doubt it, in my experience, there are a lot more people who prefer Swords & Sorcery settings over post-apocalypse...at least when it comes to games.

My question is, can FO4 be satisfactorily played in TPS mode, and can one play FO4 as their first FO experience?

My one attempt at a Bethesda game was Oblivion and I dislike FP perspective in any/all games and the TP perspective was rubbish. So I didn't enjoy the experience at all and gave it away after about 8 hours of trying to get into the gameplay.
