So ready for this day 1, heck I might bite on the collector edition they will most likely have.
I just hope it runs better on consoles then 3 or new Vegas did that no bs console exclusive dlc or at the very worst it would be timed.

just kidding

 

[Loudninja]

So awesome!

 

[Mixolydian]

I give no shits about the graphics, so bring on fallout 4. This will be my first FO game, cannot wait.

What really sucks is I would love to talk about the content in that image.

I mean really, the armor, the skill magazines. The new weapon on the left. The new Nuka Cola machine.

There is so much to discuss yet all you guys can talk about is the fucking graphics in a shitty compressed screen cap from a site that isn't even active yet. For fuck sake, lets talk about the game.

This.

It's Fallout 4!

So it's set in Boston. Looks like the fallout happened before they could demolish the area.

Nice catch. Guess that kotaku leak was legitimate.

 

[marrec]

Gamebryo.... Gamebryo never changes.

Screens look like dump. Hard to get excited when I know it's going to be marred by all the same issues that have plagued Bethesda's games since Morrowind, 15 years ago.

Yea, but Morrowind was one of the best games of all time so ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Duraigo]

Gotta see that trailer in motion before I make a comment on the graphics.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

do you think the characters will at least have different builds, heights and animations. or are we talking yet another world full of walking rigid storefront mannequins?

place your bets!

5 voice actors, 8 character models.

I'm being generous though.

 

[Zabant]

Guys, I think the graphics deserve more credit. Your finally getting images representative of in game quality and then you shit down the devs throat for doing so. Would you prefer bull shots? downgrades? CGI? this gives possibility of improvements and keeps out hype in check. Why would you want to be pissed off in the end when they reveal something they cant deliver on? Witcher 3 still hurts


good job Bethesda

One can be happy that the images are from in-game, and also be pissed that it looks like it's running on an ancient engine at the same time you know.

 

[Safeto20Scroll]

sat down. strapped up. mirror check. ready to go.

Well thanks for reminding me of this damn video.

Nope, we're only here to complain about the lack of shadows on the ground.


Won't somebody think of the contact shadows!

 

[rawd]

It's been so long since I've pre-ordered anything... Does Bestbuy typically do CE pre-ordering or do I have to give into the snakes at Gamestop... Or Amazon I suppose I can do right

 

[Hitokiri03]

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?

I don't think thats the case, is more because the xbox logo placement.

I'm not saying that will not be any exclusive dlcs, only that the box placement is not a indicative of it.

Hahahaha dammit Pete.

read this on Reddit, too:

Imagine, if at the beginning of... whatever it is, a grainy old recording of a nuke comes on as Ron Pearlman says, "War, war's never gonna give you up."

 

[Zyae]

Yep, probably it was cross gen until few months ago.

To all these people complaining about the complaints, the graphics are underwhelming in major areas, that's a fact.

you've seen 2 shitty pictures. Thats a fact.

 

[Red Hood]

Let's just be happy now and complain about shitty graphics or potential downgrades after seeing it at E3 and/or when it gets released.

 

[bananafactory]

That landscape doesn't look like Boston

Pete is just loving this. He's been pestered for years on Twitter, and this is his final chance to fuck with us.

 

[Recall]

Pretty much.

I saw someone suggest that it may be implying that we build our own Power Armour (because it's hanging up with tools all around). That would be really interesting, because in 3 you just kind of picked it up, became a tank and went on your way. This could be a whole questline to get the armour and assemble it.

Also, apparently the dog companion is a big focus.

The idea of being a mechanic or a blacksmith of a wasteland variety would be cool. A real scavenger of the lands, but a successful one.

 

[DryvBy]

30fps vs 60fps comparison:

30fps:


60fps:

If you can't see the difference, you're pathetic.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Cant wait for this.

Hurry up already. Love Fallout

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I like the look of the game simply because they added some color variety yet it still looks like a wasteland. Many of Bethesda's titles lack variety in their appearance due to the same textures being used over and over again. This is a positive step forward.

[MisterR]

It's not tiny install base.

It's half what the PS4's is. It doesn't seem like good business sense to release DLC late on the, by far, market leading console. Unless the money MS is offering is really good.

 

[manfestival]

This is presumably how their next game will look too.

I will cry if they forever stick with gamebryo

 

[Unai]

Wait, are you guys sure that gamebryo can't produce good animations? I've always thought it was just a problem of money/time/focus at Bethesda, and not the engine's fault.

 

[Haunted]

Just thinking out loud...

If this is idtech5...would it be 1080p 60fps on consoles like Wolfenstein?

If it looks like this, it will be 1080p and 60fps. I know, I know, "Bethesda games on consoles are always shit", but still.

Literally no one is stopping you from doing so.

There's enough space for all kinds of discussions here, from the graphics in a screenshot to content to screengrab analysis of locales and other tidbits.

The only one stopping you from talking about this and spending your time whining about other posters instead, is yourself.

THANK YOU,

See! Normally I would already be thinking about this, but I haven't been because I have been too caught up reading all the stupid ass graphics comments.

I mean REALLY. You might be able to BUILD YOUR OWN POWER ARMOR! HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT?

 

[Saroyan]

I'm so excited for this, one of my most anticipated games in years!

 

[Wereroku]

With Sony or Microsoft PR/DLC deals? Any bets?

MS deal since the XB1 box is in front. Also F3 had a MS deal.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I am surprised they did not save this for E3 considering this is hype material.
I am looking forward to it though.

 

[paragonpro]

So this is set in Boston, not a surprise there, what if any ideas from skyrim do you guys think we'll see, I for one am hoping for a similar inventory system and level up system. I also hope they'd have improved shooting enough that I won't have to rely on VATS

 

[Dabanton]

As someone who never got into Fallout 3, can someone explain to me why everyone is so excited about Fallout 4? Like, why is it considered so good in gaming community?

Great world setup and free exploration.

Honestly you should just go ahead and play Fallout 3

 

[Backfoggen]

Most console games do not have shadows cast from procedurally place grass, rocks, twigs etc (minutea). Most games do not really, even on PC (Dx12 and vulkan may change that though).

The egregious part is how the AO does nothing for said non-shadow casting objects.

I will give them time, but they really always do everything wrong on a technical level (the oblivion reveal to the game launch is perhaps the best example).

I wasn't specifically talking about that crop, but the whole screenshot. There is plenty of non-procedural geometry not casting shadows.

 

[Salsa]

well, im happy, bit still cant get too hyped without obsidian

 

[Hanmik]

I love the enthusiasm of Major Nelson..!!

Let me tell you about the last time Bethesda released an uniformally good looking game.

Wait, that never happened.
