All these objects and no Ambient Occlusion

 

[SoraanTribal]

Glad I don't care about graphics as much as some of you.

Anyway, I've never played a Fallout game, but will keep an eye on this.

 

[Nirolak]

I see Gamebryo's still truckin'.

 

[jim2point0]

This better be fake, because thats not graphics i was expecting.

Yeeeaah. Not overly impressed. Dogmeat looks photoshopped into the image

 

[Blackthorn]

Guys I dunno is it just me or does Mila Kunis look kinda last gen? :/

 

[SinSilla]

That looks distinctly like gamebryo. Gotta say, that diminishes my hype slightly. Still excited though.

Bets on which terrible engine they'll use? :/

Wonder if they'll retool Gamebryo again.

That shot, especially the lod in the upper left corner reminds me so much of Skyrim uGridsToLoad. I bet my left nut its a modified Gamebryo.

 

[toddhunter]

Don't judge the game yet. Once we see the trailer we'll know if there have been any downgrades from the image from the trailer.

 

[Bishop89]

I'm dead serious. We have no info about the game. Your idea that the game has now changed in scope is unfounded. GTA 5 wasn't really a lesser game because it was on PS3/360 either, its scope was pretty big in comparison to NV. NV came out 5 years ago.

Wish it was releasing on the ps2

 

[amnesiac]

so are we expecting a trailer in 30 minutes?

 

[op_ivy]

I think it looks great, shrug. Never played fallout, wasn't a fan of the genre, but witcher has shown me the error of my ways. This could be good

 

[Recall]

No shadows at all from the objects on the ground.

Won't someone please think of the shadows.

 

[Durante]

That screenshot is ... not particularly impressive.

Low-res textures, no shadows for most things, no ambient occlusion, weak foliage. I guess it's partially because I'm currently playing the Witcher 3, but I'm not impressed.

 

[T.O.P]

First screen ?

lawdddd

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Maybe it's 60 fps on PS4One. We'll see.

hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaah

a bethesda developed game at 60 fps on consoles.

they could barely make their games work on the PS3, shit fallout 3 still remains unbelievably broken on the ps3 and skyrim took forever to get working right. I'll take a permanent ban if the game is locked at 60 fps, shit will probably struggle to hold a consistent 30 fps if past console releases are anything to go by.

 

[Bad_Boy]

No shadows at all from the objects on the ground.

at least there won't be horrible downgrade threads.

 

[Sijil]

Beth game with 4GB RAM restrictions! Imagine the mod possibilities....

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

All the bickering about graphics, cross-gen, etc.. my god.

As for the game, I recently binged on FO:NV w/ mods so I have quite high expectations for new features. And I definitely am interested in learning how to mod FO4.

I wonder at what point in time is the game set because we keep getting further and further from the wastelands we once knew in the original fallout+2. Eventually we'll get to Fallout: Oops we did it again.

 

[camac002]

Really need to see character models and faces instead of environments. Hopefully they've had a good whack at getting them closer to a modern standard.

 

[Tigress]

Yeah I'm going by this train of thought in terms of playing the game or not. As well as Witcher 3 doing no loading screens, the graphical fidelity for that game is insane so hopefully Boston in Fallout 4 looks just as good.

Because even if the graphics "aren't good" (they look better than previous fallouts and that's good enough for me as they wont detract from why I love the game), the small amount of ram in previous consoles held the games back. This means they didn't have to worry about small ram amount (in open world games ram is important) limiting the game. Also I know they outright said they were done with PS3 with elder scrolls cause they couldn't do what they wanted to do next with it so I was kinda hoping the same was true for fallout.

Also, tech advances and eventually if you can't/won't advance with it you will get left behind. It's either that or tech gets held back.

 

[Percy]

Any hint of a release date? Even a release year?

That screenshot...

Welp, at least we know it will hit 60fps on consoles RIGHT GUYS?!

More like 1080p 25fps on PS4 and 900p 27fps on Xbone I'm betting.

 

[Eidan]

Please be more like FO3 then New Vegas *runs*

I'm with you.

 

[GavinUK86]

guys, they just took the shot before the textures loaded in thats all.

it'll be fine. it's fine. i'm sure.

yeah... no.

i hate gamebryo.

 

[giancarlo123x]

The graphic whores here almost make it unbearable to enjoy any announcement since they go straight to nitpicking every small detail like the game releases tomorrow.

 

[Dad]

at least there won't be horrible downgrade threads.

Someone will find a way.

 

[Fret]

No shadows at all from the objects on the ground.

Welcome to every video game ever

This game will look very good in motion

 

[wanderjahr]

I'll take the cold hard truth everyday over beautiful lies.

Their Skyrim reveal was perfect. They showed how the game would look EXACTLY at release. Worse in some cases too. Expect the same this go-round.

 

[Alienous]

Gamebryo is the 99p 'Value' brand pork sausage of game engines.

 

[TheJoRu]

I'm guessing that MS has some sort of marketing deal and/or timed DLC on this one, as the XB1 version is sitting in the front of the set. Am I reading too much into the placement of the various boxes?

Or it's because the Xbox One-logo is in the middle of the box and as such would be a bit obscured if placed behind another box. Or it's because some box has to be in the front, why not Xbox One?

 

[maquiladora]

I'm guessing that MS has some sort of marketing deal and/or timed DLC on this one, as the XB1 version is sitting in the front of the set. Am I reading too much into the placement of the various boxes?

That is generally the case with that kind of placement, yes.

 

[On Demand]

Casual reminder that some people are perfectly capable of doing both, without diminishing their enjoyment of gaming.

Casual reminder that the game is not released yet and these pictures are mostly likely from an early build.

 

[peakish]

No sickly green filter on it's own makes me more interested in this than I was in Fallout 3. That outdoors shot is much closer to how I wanted Fallout 1's aesthetic to translate into 3d than anything I've seen from F3. Still, I don't really trust Bethesda as a developer, which is a much bigger problem than "bad" graphics.

 

[Valnen]

Yeeeaah. Not overly impressed. Dogmeat looks photoshopped into the image

I get the feeling that has to be the game on low settings, or something. It basically looks like the PC version of a late last gen game. Not what I'd call a generational leap by any means, at least.

That said, it's refreshing to see early marketing materials not setting unrealistic expectations. Bravo for that.

 

[paragonpro]

I'm so happy, I've been waiting for a great Bethesda rpg again, no one does it like they do.

 

[E92 M3]

All this graphic talk is hilarious to me. I still think Skyrim is beautiful on the 360. It's all about the art direction and gameplay. Honestly, graphics are the last thing I care about.

 

[ScriptedReality]

Please be more like FO3 then New Vegas *runs*

Cosign. I didn't enjoy Vegas nearly as much as Fo3.

 

[Polish Folk Hero]

YEAH BABY! WOOOOOO! I'm speechless just so excited!

 

[Milton]

I know it's a bit off to judge the graphics already, but that image doesn't fill me with confidence about the game engine. Maybe I've been spoiled with Witcher 3 but I would have thought they'd have released a better quality image. I dunno if I'm being overly picky tho :/

 

[Dictator93]

Welcome to every video game ever

This game will look very good in motion

Bathesda games have always looked quite horrible in motion actually.

 

[Korez]

30 minutes

 

[Shake Appeal]

At least that screen looks like it's from the same universe as the original games, which is a significant step up from Fallout 3.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Bethsada got their work cut out for them when it comes time to Downgrade

G A M E B Y R O B O Y Z

 

[marrec]

Someone will find a way.

I hope they work themselves into a tizzy about it.

 

[Bedameister]

So is it Boston or not?

 

[Sinfamy]

Let's go, let's go, lets go!

So is it Boston or not?

Atlanta.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

I'm guessing that MS has some sort of marketing deal and/or timed DLC on this one, as the XB1 version is sitting in the front of the set. Am I reading too much into the placement of the various boxes?

Would be the norm for Bethesda as of late, so wouldn't be all that surprising, and we haven't really seen much from MS as far as 3rd party marketing deals other than The Division. Wouldn't surprise me if they go the timed DLC route again.

 

[Mexen]

Interesting to note that this is not cross-gen. Gonna have to cut off my arm and leg after all...

 

[link1201]

Shit twitter compression but another shot.

I really like this image for some reason. Looking forward to getting lost in this world.

 

[MattyG]

Minigun is back.

Mr. Handy!

 

[Zyae]

Bathesda games have always looked quite horrible in motion actually.

fallout3 looked quite good in motion actually

 

[DistortionOfReality]

I can't believe the graphics police are already out in force for a single screenshot. It's fallout 4, enjoy the ride.

Spoiler

I can totally believe it
