What's the reason people think this will be released at E3?

Spoiler

It's because of the graphical quality and engine, isn't it lol.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Since when has Boston been desert and mountain ranges?

When did California get Boston landmarks?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Technical/graphical bitching aside (it really doesn't look like a current gen only title should/could look), even the atmosphere conveyed in that trailer didn't grasp me. Hm, i gotta say im disappointed so far.

it's not like there's a ton of terrific looking open world RPGs to compare it to. There's, what, Dragon Age inquisition and The Witcher 3?

From the Bethesda press release,

Fallout 4 is being developed for Xbox One, PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system and PC by award-winning Bethesda Game Studios® under the direction of Todd Howard. This eagerly-awaited game is the follow up to the 2008 ‘Game of the Year’, Fallout® 3, and the first title from the world-renowned studio since the release of their global phenomenon and 2011 ‘Game of the Year’, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim®.

“We know what this game means to everyone,” said Game Director, Todd Howard, “The time and technology have allowed us to be more ambitious than ever. We’ve never been more excited about a game, and we can’t wait to share it.”

 

[Higgins113]

Can't wait to have only 3 choices in every conversation thanks to voiced protagonist.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Don't know if it looked good or not, I'm too excited to think about anything. I fucking love me some Fallout.

Who wants on the Hype Train?

I'll pay 50 bottlecaps for a seat on there. Don't sit me next to a ghoul though.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Coming from Witcher 3 you can't possibly think Fallout 4 looks anything other than OK.

considering Witcher 3 is a fucking mess technically (PS4) hopefully with the less then amazing visuals the game can keep a fucking decent frame rate.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Me!

Can you put me on that small planet/moon, please?

let me hop on board

*raises hand*

put me on the train

Dudes, thread get closed because of hype trains..

 

[CyberPunked]

Screenshot time

Looks gorgeous to me

 

[Tractopoulpe]

I'm even more excited for E3 now and hopefully a lot more game reveals!

 

[Unai]

I don't know a thing about USA. Is this Boston?

 

[dancrane212]

My name is Duraigo, and today I will be your conductor for this Hype Train. Please have your ticket ready.

I'm ready to go to planet Fallout!

 

[NervousXtian]

Yeah, ain't none of that happening on PS3/360.

The "everything sucks" crowd is thick up in here.

Game looks pretty good.. dog needs work.. but about half-way in when the video opened up things look great.

 

[foxtrot3d]

To me, it just makes character creation more limited.

And the benefits of having a voiced PC usually comes when you have a super cinematic game, which Bethesda games have never been. So all you'll end up with is more limited writing due to having the voice acting dependency. And its not like Bethesda games have brilliant writing to start out with anyway.

See all this is true and a fear of mine, I'll just have to wait to find out. I want a voiced protagonist but only if speaking scenes are fucking animated properly to show some emotion, my dream has always been to have a Bethesda game with talking sequences like say Far Cry 3+. So everything is kept in first person but "cutscenes" can finally have some emotion displayed by the characters. But, if it's just the typical Bethesda dude sits or stands straights and mouths to you and you mouth back then I'm less thrilled. Also, as you say it could potentially mean less writing due to more voices.

However, I'll say that the last point probably isn't too much of a concern. Remember, all quest NPC's are fully voiced in the game so adding the player's voice isn't really going to slow things down much further. The switch to fully voiced NPC's are what resulted in the diminishing of the amount of writing in open world RPG's, the added player voice won't do that.

 

[Primethius]

It's almost as though this is a game in development and they didn't decide to bullshit us, ala your avatar.

I mean... yes, okay?

I was making an observation. Or is this a thread for pure hype and I should show myself out?

 

[marrec]

No PS3 version??? Fucking pissed, I'm staying inside today. wth Bethesda.

Start a GoFundMe to get a PS4 or something cause this game's gunna be dope.

 

[Metroidvania]

Hopefully the VA doesn't mean you're limited to one specific protagonist.

That could be really limiting to a lot of aspects that past games offered regarding customization of 'your' character and the like.

 

[JMPerona]

Who wants on the Hype Train?

One ticket to Falloutland, please....

Genuine excited about this one!

 

[double jump]

Just give me some halfway decent ethnic hairstyles and no game/story breaking bugs and I'll be happy.

I'm asking for a miracle I know.

edit: just noticed the rain in one shot. Hopefully they can pull off some really cool storms and stuff.

 

[partyboy]

Not Gamebryo, haven't used it since New Vegas. This is probably the next version of the Creation engine used in Skyrim.

Creation is a modified Gamebryo, that's why Skyrim still has the same sort of look and feel as their previous games.

 

[Lulubop]

Deathclaws! Someone is gonna be mad about that bit of lore.

I can't get hype for Bethesda's writing though.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Getting Mysterious Stranger vibes from this guy

 

[Summer Haze]

I'm loving how much more colourful this game is looking. Some parts reminds me of RAGE in terms of the colour palette, which was one of that game's strengths imo.

 

[King_Moc]

Coming from Witcher 3 you can't possibly think Fallout 4 looks anything other than OK.

On a technical level, no. But the art direction is way more interesting than just copying Tolkien.

 

[Hatty]

What fictional world are we living in where that happened the first time?

Luckily it's the fictional world we live in. Where Bethesda let obsidian make a decently written Bethesda game that was better than fallout 3 in every way

 

[ThomasCro]

IIIIIT'S AAAAALLLLL OOOOVEEEEEEEERR!

[kurahador]

Love the music. It's surprisingly epic/hope-ish instead of jazz lol apocalypse.

 

[Novel Mike]

Wow what a great trailer, still images are just that still, in motion the game looks fantastic and man is it so much more colorful then Fallout 3. This trailer was great, but seriously I NEED A RELEASE DATE BETHESDA!

 

[Captainbojanglesiii]

Environments look amazing now, at least in comparison to Fallout 3. I can't say I would enjoy a voiced main character if that is true.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Looks fucking great. I haven't been this excited for a game in a bit.

 

[mangel_js]

Looks like Id tech 5 tbh
Pretty environments i guess

 

[Justinsimonin]

Simply put this looks amazing and I could not be more excited. Hoping for a release date this year!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Is it possible for this game to come out this fall? It looked really good. It has to be close to being finished, right?

Don't get your hopes up. This is probably 2016.

 

[Lucreto]

My name is Duraigo, and today I will be your conductor for this Hype Train. Please have your ticket ready.

Choo Choo. Ticket please.

You should use the ship with the engines from the trailer.

 

[Blimblim]

HQ version, only with French subtitles so far (still looking for another without them):

Edit: UK trailer incoming

 

[hidys]

I can wait to play this.

So hyped!

 

[Northeastmonk]

Looks id tech

I said the same thing from one of the views in the city, but I'm not very worried.

 

[Agremont]

What fictional world are we living in where that happened the first time?

Ummm,, are you saying Obsidian isn't superior to Bethesda when it comes to writing?

 

[E92 M3]

Game looks great, but the Summerish and desert atmosphere is not really an interest of mine. I want more nature and small towns, rather than large cities.

That said, please put me on the hype train!

 

[Parsnip]

Definitely looks like the next minor evolution of gamebryo->creation engine. Materials look better at a glance at least.

 

[eso76]

mixed feelings about the graphics.
Loved some of the environment shots halfway through, some parts looked very rough.

Liked the trailer overall though and had more content than i had hoped for.

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

Who wants on the Hype Train?

Chop choo baby, let me aboard this hype meteor

 

[amnesiac]

just please run good on ps4 PLEASE

 

[Darryl M R]

Meh. I don't see the hype. This must be similar to people who crave Half Life 3. Because you played the original games and are hoping for a new installment you become bias in your criticism towards it.

The game doesn't look good visually. Maybe the gameplay will be amazing but honestly this looks like a PS3 game.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

My name is Duraigo, and today I will be your conductor for this Hype Train. Please have your ticket ready.

I love choo choo's! Put me aboard the nuclear hype train!

 

[FrontalMonk]

What I expected. You can't expect amazing visuals from Bethesda... But the experience will be spectacular.

Hyped. Ready for this.

The visuals in Oblivion and Skyrim were each incredibly impressive when they were first announced. This...is not.

I'll probably still be getting this, but mainly because I'll want something to tide me over until Elder Scrolls 6.

 

[artsi]

Technical/graphical bitching aside (it really doesn't look like a current gen only title should/could look), even the atmosphere conveyed in that trailer didn't grasp me. Hm, i gotta say im disappointed so far.

Yeah as much as I love Fallout, can't say my emotions jumped in any way when I watched this. Looks just like the same old stuff.
