I was impressed by the quality of the Fallout website that is up now as a teaser. I will include a permanent link to it eventually.

You can see how clean the code is. They are clearly using a precompiler to group their js and css.

This is how I think your website should look - in terms of code.

Their use of a preloader seems like an unpleasant throwback to the days of full-screen pages written in Flash...

I hope the game itself is good. I enjoyed 3 and New Vegas, and I'll probably pick this up on or near launch.

The thing that's bothered me with Bethesda Softwork's games is that they are stubbornly single thread CPU bound, and don't scale beyond 2 cores that well. Perhaps the newer consoles will force them to multithread better.

All I can see is the gear turning around, nothing else happens.

It is not fair to present a site in such a premature test stage to the public and title it ironically as "really well". This site will be certainly really good after some professional designers will have worked on that prototype, so why exposing it while still in this early state?

I have a browser add-on which forces everything over SSL where possible, and it breaks some websites, including this one.

Incognito mode works for me.

uBlock broke it for me. Disabling that, when I clicked continue I ended up at the null site like others.

Not entirely sure what we're supposed to be looking at.
