We've known for a while now that Fallout 4 is in development, and the expectation is that within the next few days, the game will be officially announced at E3 (despite Bethesda's claims to the contrary), likely for both current and next-gen consoles. The appeal for many will be in seeing how far the developer can push next-gen technology, and how they can take the Fallout brand to the next level. After all, Fallout 3 and New Vegas are two of the most beloved, acclaimed games of their generation, and it's going to take some doing to find a way to to keep that trend running for the long-awaited fourth entry. Of course, next-gen will allow plenty of tantalising possibilities of its own both technologically and creatively, and here are the 10 that above all else we want to see...
10. Make It A Cross-Platform MMO
Perhaps not a popular idea with all Fallout fans, this would nevertheless be a bold - albeit risky - way to shake up the franchise, by offering up the option of taking the game into the online sphere, whereby you can team up with buddies to traverse this epic world. Given the power of next-generation hardware, wouldn't it be amazing to see this living, breathing world populated with tens of thousands of other players? You might be heading to a quest and find a guy to team up with, or perhaps he'll want to kill you and take all your loot; you've got to react quickly in this harsh, post-apocalyptic wilderness. Given the resistance some players will inevitably have, it's probably safest to offer a single-player, offline experience too, and though this might require more dev time, in the long run it will make the most players happiest.
