Late last year rumors surfaced that the next Fallout game would take place in Boston. News surfacing today through Erik Todd Dellums’s Twitter account (radio DJ “Three Dog” from Fallout 3) it appears that Bethesda could be hiring him back to reprise his role from Fallout 3.

Here is the said conversation from Twitter:

@ETDellums – To all my #Fallout3 and #ThreeDog fans: There may be more of the Dog coming! Fingers crossed!

(@ToastTheRabbit) @ETDellums any details that ya can share or is it a tight lip deal ATM?

(@ETDellums) @ToastTheRabbit How was that for a tease! I was given permission to release that tease, so fingers crossed.

So it looks like Fallout 4is indeed already in the works. We can only hope so. In my opinion Bethesda makes the best RPG’s outside of Bioware and who knows…maybe Fallout 4 will be a launch title for the next Xbox and/or PS4…

Today at CES 2013 in Las Vegas Microsoft has revealed a new proof-of-concept called IllumiRoom.

Combining Kinect and a projector, IllumiRoom will illuminate the area around your television with digital projections of the scenery within the game. Cool right? Microsoft states that IllumiRoom will “change the appearance of the room, induce apparent motion, extend the field of view, and enable entirely new game experiences.”

Here is a live demonstration of IllumiRoom…meaning that there is not any tampering to make this look cooler that what it actually is.

All of this technology will presumably on the next Xbox system that will more than likely be revealed either at E3 2013 or a month-two months before.

What games could really use this technology to it’s fullest that are released right now? Skyrim, Far Cry 3, Lost Planet?

Fallout 4 Announcement Imminent?
