Here, check this and this. The Tumblr blog seems more and more fishy for me, but I believe the countdown is true.

Ye, the tumblr is a fake. It has been admitted by the creator. He did state though that he has no knowledge of whether the countdown site is official or not, and there have been patent registrations for the VOID engine or Fallout 4 in Europe, the USA and Australia, so...

Stolen from reddit Evidence that Survivor 2299 is fake.
Spoiler:
First off let me say that I enjoy ARGs. I'd love for this to be real. But it isn't. You may want to believe it is real because of confirmation bias. If you're already looking for evidence that Fallout 4 is coming, that is what you are going to see. It is reaffirming to believe that you have secret, insider information through this site. It makes you feel good to believe in this. But that doesn't make it true.
1.The domain is registered through GoDaddy, which ZeniMax has never once used.
2. WHOIS info can be faked by anyone. It simply isn't proof.
3. The hosting company is in Poland. All of ZeniMax's sites are hosted in the US.
4. The initial morse code had the date in a European format. Bethesda and Zenimax have always used US dates.
5.The site was posted to Reddit before anywhere else, not the Fallout fansites that Bethesda supports.
6.The moment that Reddit pointed out how the date format was wrong, the page was updated with a comment that the date format was European. Then later, the morse code audio was replaced with one with the American date. Are you going to tell me that ZeniMax as a global publisher doesn't understand how dates work?
7. This is the most amateur hour ARG I've ever seen in my life. And I love finding ARGs and participating in them, so I've seen quite a few. Finding black text on a black background isn't master sleuthing.
8. The coding style of the pages doesn't match the coding style of any Bethesda/ZeniMax site. Bethesda uses compressed HTML with no spaces.
9. All Bethesda/ZeniMax websites seem to be coded by the same team. They have a consistent naming scheme for their files and directory structure.
10. Every single Bethesda/ZeniMax site has Mozilla specific CSS. This site doesn't.
11. And they run the same javascript on every one of their sites.

While most of these are valid points, I'd like to take aim at a couple:

"1.The domain is registered through GoDaddy, which ZeniMax has never once used."
While it is true that ZeniMax has never used GoDaddy, it is not the first time that GoDaddy was used by a big gaming company.
"3. The hosting company is in Poland. All of ZeniMax's sites are hosted in the US."
It was. It has now been moved to a Baltimore-based address.

To many other points: I know this is going to sound a little conspiracy theorist-y, but I think it might have been done on purpose exactly to throw people off. The very fact that there are discussions and skepticism about it will generate more attention by gaming sites and gaming community in general. It also makes some sense for it to have been posted first in Reddit, as it is one big hell of a site that can easily pass around a piece of information to a LOT of people, that are going, then, pass the info to specialized fan sites.
Of course, all I'm going is speculating, and I have my own dose of skepticism after the tumblr(that was, to tell the truth, somewhat obvious after scrutiny), but I fucking want Fallout 4 goddamnit.

Just like Half Life 3, it ain't gonna happen.

It is, even if this particular instance is not true, Bethesda has already said a couple of times that they did not buy the franchise to make just one or two games, they are in it for real, that much is known already.
