Discuss the game that started it all, and its sequel. Technical questions and issues go into the Fallout Technical Support forum, not here.

Yes, announcing a game too early will fck it up... somehow...
Martin Van Buren was a President of the United States (1837 to 1841)
If you haven't noticed they seem to be using US presidents for their project names. (Such as Jefferson).

A bordering 'Burb, so pretty much.

And by "Made-up" I mean picked out of the air.
KillaKilla's logic:
FOT and FO: BOS weren't FO at all!........... 1. I am nobody
DOGMEAT is God. Never dispute this!........ 2. Nobody is perfect
Up and coming hardware nerd.................. 3. Hence I am perfect

Who gives a fuck what the project name is? EVoG's game is called Project Phoenix for now but I doubt it will have anything to do with birdies. What is F3's safe title was COOKIES FOR HIRE?!? IT WOULDN'T BE ABOUT COOKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always thought the idea of having a codename for something was so other people could not decide what the project actually was until they were allowed to know so.

COOKIES FOR HIRE COOKIES FOR HIRE

Wouldn't we all just shit ourselves if Van Buren ended up being Fallout: Redux, or some sort of total conversion pack for some other BIS game...

Then again, I wouldn't mind a re-tooling of the original FO..
