Guess the website can't handle all the hype traffic.

Game looks fine to me, my biggest beef with FO3 was that everything was GRAY GRAY GRAY. GRAY EVERYWHERE!

it added to the atsmophere of a world bombed and burnt

Yeah I cant load the stream.......

hmm that sucks. But the website seemingly linked to a youtube video that was still set to private so it'll probably be viewable on the official channels there from the start though.

 

[Gaz_RB]

So what if a little bit of Mad Max got frisky with Fallout and maybe we can build/drive vehicles? Maybe that's what it's hinting with the garage?

 

[toddhunter]

Complaining about graphics in a Fallout game

and you call yourselves gamers lol

If it plays like Fallout 2, you have a point.
If it plays like Fallout 3, it should look fucking amazing.

 

[Venom Fox]

fake what?

It's obviously an empty power armour being repaired/modified, hull armour of the left leg is sitting besides.

The guy is standing upright on the leg, zoom in and you can see through it, if there was a leg inside the armour then it wouldn't be hollow.

 

[CHC]

This. I could live with the above shown graphics no problem.

But Gamebryo + Bethesda is basically synonymous with a clunky-ass game.
Let's hope they pour just as much love into gameplay, animation and controls as they do with story and atmosphere this time. Don't disappoint me Tim Howard.

Agreed. If it was just some not-so-great textures or lighting or whatever, fine. But it's the whole package, it's just unpolished garbage presentation. In a world where Grand Theft Auto V and the Witcher III exist, there really isn't much of an excuse anymore, it's not like Bethesda is some stuggling indie developer here.

 

[Funky Papa]

THIS.

I've never booted up Morrowind or Oblivion or even Fallout 3 and been like AWW YES LOOK AT THOSE ADEQUATE GRAPHICS.

Who gives a fuck what the game looks like, just gimme.

I don't even remember when was the last Bethesda game with cohesive art direction.

FO3's NPCs look more often than not like outsourced garbage and even the architecture is a bizarre mix of great looking buildings with baffling design choices like square looking doors pulled out from some random 90's FPS.

 

[SwordStruck]

Shots look great to me, I'm excited for it at least.

 

[chubigans]

oh man oh man oh man

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

forget the graphics they need to work on gameplay. f3 was so fukin glitchy and clunky to play i couldnt stand it after an hour. actually dont forget the graphics, they were dreadful in f3 and i hated the whole artstyle.

big improvements needed

Yes, it does look like RAGE.

 

[diamount]

Popped into this thread to join in the excitement, it's almost all drowned out by people complaining about the graphics from that screenshot.

I think this may not be the thread for me. I'll go be really excited somewhere else.

I'd actually think it's a good thing that DISCUSSION FORUMS aren't your personal echo chamber.

 

[dripdripsplash]

No kidding first thing I thought was:

"FUCKING AWESOME FALLOUT 4"

And then: "Jesus, graphics look like shit"

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Nearly 36,000 on the Twitch channel, good god.

I've got almost 40,000. You could say some people are a tiny bit excited.

Private video it says.

 

[Recall]

I wonder if we will see a progression of reading material that gives you bonuses. Skill books and skill magazines are hopefully here too.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

The looping static noise is driving me nuts, but oh well! Only 5 more minutes!

 

[xamidoxhua]

I am gonna go on a guess that this is powered by the same engine as Skyrim.

I noticed the exact same thing.

 

[Summer Haze]

Is that T-45d, T-51b, or another model of power armor? Can't tell on mobile.


I also see a pip-boy on the table, a workbench (looks the same as NV), a Vault Boy bobble, Laser Rifle, some pistols, and a new rifle.

Looks more like T-45d to me.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Agreed. If it was just some not-so-great textures or lighting or whatever, fine. But it's the whole package, it's just unpolished garbage presentation. In a world where Grand Theft Auto V and the Witcher III exist, there really isn't much of an excuse anymore, it's not like Bethesda is some stuggling indie developer here.

The visuals in that screen look on par with Current gen open world games like the WItcher 3

Not sure what people are talking about

 

[Northeastmonk]

I've always wanted to see Boston done this way. I sorta hope we get a glimpse at the Salem Witch Trials or maybe something occultish.

[jelly]

I understand there is more to a game than graphics but there is also more to a game than the story and the world. Just because some of it is great doesn't mean you should just take the rest of the slop over and over again. The experience could be even better if Bethesda improved other aspects of the games instead of a that'll do attitude. I don't know how Fallout 4 plays yet so hopefully Bethesda have come on leaps and bounds but don't settle for second best, we are not demanding something beyond normal means.

 

[Dad]

5 minutes until even more graphics outrage!

 

[Mendax]

Private video it says.

because it's too early. try again soon,.

I'm 100% certain that will be in there.

 

[jet1911]

Looking at that first screen it look like Gamebryo is back.

Still excited!

Same issues for me. I liked it, but i couldnt stand how clunky it was.

 

[Steejee]

Nuclear wasteland changes things.

I'm sure we'll see other monuments later.

If this is set after NV then anything set near Boston would be a dense forest again by gametime, unless people are chopping the trees down as fast as they can grow. Plants deal with nuclear fallout far better than people. The Red Forest by Chernobyl is one of the most irradiated places on earth but the forest itself has largely grown back after only thirty years.

Granted, that forest has other issues, but given NV is something like 200 years after the war, and this is presumably after that, then plantlife should mostly be back. I won't knock it for that though, as it's purely an artistic choice anyways, and Fallout is hardly the most realistic of game universes.

 

[Alienous]

I hope Bill Burr is the protagonist's dad in this.

 

[Zombie James]

Honestly the graphics look like Skyrim tier.

I think some of you haven't played vanilla Skyrim in a while. I honestly don't understand all the negative reactions to these screenshots. To my eyes they look easily and significantly better than the previous Fallouts and Skyrim. Doesn't mean they're flawless and the game could very well look like ass in motion (no AA, screen tearing, etc), but I think these screenshots are looking good.

 

[BrettHeazy]

preparing to be rick astley'd

 

[Zabant]

The real lesson Bethesda will take from you guys hating on the LOD hills is that their terrain should be all flat from now on so you don't see it.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

people complaining about graphics haven't even seen it in motion, if it started life as a last gen game at least it will run really well.

at least I hope, screenshots look decent enough.

 

[maquiladora]

Or just switch to the twitch stream and stop F5ing.

 

[Haunted]

The guy is standing upright on the leg, zoom in and you can see through it, if there was a leg inside the armour then it wouldn't be hollow.

I don't think there's a guy at all, just empty armour.

 

[Bod]

God i hope its out this year

 

[onken]

Oh my god it's happening...

 

[ZeroMaverick]

so close!!

 

[Milton]

UGH, WHY DOES TIME HAVE TO BE A THING

 

[jem0208]

Nearly 36,000 on the Twitch channel, good god.

Nothing like the Destiny House of Wolves stream.

That had something like 150'000 at one point IIRC.

 

[Blue Ninja]

42K are watching the Twitch stream? Jesus.

Almost 50k. The hype is real.
