You are comparing a finish game to one that is not.

A valid point, but that is the standard I am now expecting from games these days. Maybe that isn't fair, but the dog in the trailer looks very poor. You can't dispute that.

All of what I posted is just my opinion. You don't have to like it.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Do we know the entire game is in Boston?

No, but I imagine it will be confined to the same area like previous Fallout games, so NE or the Commonwealth in the Fallout universe as rumors suggested. Who knows though, maybe the game is a cross country road trip.

 

[ThankeeSai]

Trailer has bleeding edge graphics only capable on high-end PCs. "OMG the game will never look like this. #DowngradeGate!"

Trailer has reasonable graphics for an open-world console game. "The graphics look terrible. What the hell?"

Christ, if I worked for Bethesda the internet would drive me to drink. More.

So much this.

 

[Mendax]

So what is the likelihood of this coming out in the fall?

50%

Bethesda quality of games, pure trash.

go away

 

[Raxus]

As someone who hates elder scrolls and never played a fallout game but loves RPGs, should I get this? Should I try 3 or New Vegas?

New Vegas. And yes, give it a shot. Should be pretty cheap on Steam at this point.

 

[chubigans]

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.

Man, some of y'all need to remember what Fallout 3/New Vegas looks like.

I'm happy.

 

[Northeastmonk]

You can't really judge IQ from a Twitch stream imo.

You can make it where the chat goes away. I did that. I don't need to see Twitch's typical reaction live every single time.

Think about the variables at play here and you'll understand.

 

[jailbird20022]

$40 last gen version confirmed.

Gamebryo did NOT age well.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

So I just looked at the animations of the people running.

Looks like same old gamebryo.

Fucking awful. Just hope they don't try to push paid mods and hope to god it's 60FPS for console friends.

 

[Shake Appeal]

It's hard to say what's going to end up considered "iconic" based on a trailer, but... USS Constitution with crazy rocket engines? The ominous blimp?

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Airship

Cool that they put engines on a boat, though. So steampunk. Wait, these games aren't steampunk.

 

[Sorcerer Supreme]

It looks bad visually and that's all I can say about it before they show gameplay.

 

[On Demand]

Wow this looks like a bad PS3 title...

I would have assumed they're building it on the RAGE engine if it wasn't for the fact that RAGE excels at high texel fidelity and the texel fidelity here is, well... non-existent.

I can only assume they're using that shitty Gamebryo grandchild engine...

Still...

In 2015...

Will be a great game for sure but seriously, it looks like something you could render optimally on the 3DS...

PS3? The hyperbole has reached new levels. Do you play Fallout 3 and NV? The graphics from this trailer looks way better.

 

[John Kowalski]

Lol, was that fucking Troy Baker?

 

[Green Yoshi]

LOL at the idiots who actually thought this game might be cross gen.

I know cross gen games with better graphics. Far Cry 4 for example.

 

[GravyButt]

Oh man oh man oh man. Hype to the max!!!!!!

 

[Despera]

I'm not impressed by the graphics but the people saying this looks like a PS3 game need to stop. The hyperbole isn't cute or funny; that's just trolling.

Pretty much. It looks more colorful than previous games which is something I'm happy about. Not the best looking open world game, but they can make up for that with excellent content.

 

[Darksol]

Nice.

 

[amnesiac]

Will be a great game for sure but seriously, it looks like something you could render optimally on the 3DS...

 

[DrROBschiz]

You are comparing a finish game to one that is not.

This game is likely near completion and I am thinking its hitting Fall this year

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

You bunch of nitpicking sourpusses. My god. Did someone seriously just say Uncharted 3/The Last of Us looks on par? I feel cheated with those games man, I must have missed out on the part where we explored 15 square miles of wasteland and countless caverns and dungeons.

 

[Hazanko]

I honestly hope more games take the low graphic approach. It'll be healthier for the industry in the long term. I'd rather they spend the resources making a more detailed world.

Agreed.

 

[Cave Johnson]

Gamers, gamers never change. In 2015 Fallout 4 was revealed. A game people had been asking for for years. As soon as it was revealed, hyperbolic cries of, "It looks no better than PS3 were heard." Then ensued a war the likes the internet has not seen. In the end, most people ended up off the internet entirely. It was a wasteland. But a few people held on and years of desolation one finally popped out to see what the internet had become...

Seriously though, I don't care if the graphics aren't that great. They still look better than 3. All I really want out of Fallout is a new area to explore and new characters to discover/takl to with new dialogue choices to be made. Sure, maybe I'm not picky. But I picked up Fallout 3 in 2013 when it looked pretty dated and after I played SKyrim which definitely was an improvement (not by much though honestly, or at least Fallout didn't look much worse like I expected it to). It didn't hamper my enjoyment one bit. I didn't think it would beat Skyrim for me but I found myself enjoying it a lot more even Despite the even older graphics and more bugs (I played Skyrim after they had patched it up).

Sure, I'd love it if they take cues from Obsidian and improve on gameplay/characterization/dialogue/choices. Honestly I'd much more rather they focus on that. But in the end, I'm sure it's going to be a game I'm going to love. Cause all I really need is that exploration and being able to talk to characters (Obsidian had more characters to talk to as well which made Vegas better for me). Graphics is only something I'll notice at the start. Then my suspension of disbelief will kick in and I'll just take it for granted anyways (regardless if good or bad).

(I'm sure I'd love it more though if Obsidian was the one doing it ).

What's that about "hivemind" + "GaF"? But yes, War... war never changes. So is the hyperbole and the generalizations; the same type of arguments; the same type of responses.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

It's so beautiful! I hope they drastically improved the Companion AI and buff Dog Meat's Stats as he was too squishy in Fallout 3 and Rex's AI in New Vegas had a strong habit of standing in front of the door way.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

So I'm guessing GameStop will have some kind of $150 Vault-Tec edition up for preorder by the end of the day.

And my dumbass will buy it. It'll go next to my Fallout 3 Lunchbox, and my Fallout New Vegas big ass box.

 

[bananafactory]

A valid point, but that is the standard I am now expecting from games these days. Maybe that isn't fair, but the dog in the trailer looks very poor. You can't dispute that.

All of what I posted is just my opinion. You don't have to like it.

Using one of the best looking games ever released as your standard is a surefire way to be disappointed.

 

[dubq]

I'll never understand why people preorder so early.

Guaranteed copy on release day?

 

[disastermouse]

Is it confirmed that this is still Gamebryo? If so:

Goddamn it!! Why, Bethesda? Why?!?!?!

 

[Yoday]

Looks fantastic. The graphics nay not be the greatest, but the world looks huge and incredibly detailed. The greatly expanded scope is far more important in a Bethesda RPG than best in class visuals. I love their games, but their worlds have always felt empty for their ambition. This looks like they finally have the memory to really bring their worlds to life, and that has me really excited.

 

[Axial]

Same old lifeless and stiff animations... yep that's a Bethesda game allright.
As far as graphics go, with the exception of higher res meshes and absence of the horrendous green tinted filter the game looks like Fallout3 with a slight upgrade, imho.

 

[bombshell]

I might be a bit more hyped when I see actual gameplay, hopefully there will be some of that during E3.

A German site reported a rumour some weeks ago that a 20 minute Fallout gameplay demo will close Bethesda's E3 press conference.

 

[Fbh]

This thread is why companies release bullshots and we deal with the inevitable downgrade conversation

"Sir, we released the trailer using the real footage as you told us"
"Good, gamers must be delighted to see us not bullshitting them"
"Actually sir, half the comments on Neogaf are about how ugly it is"
"Ugh screw it!, for Skyrim 2 we'll just hire Blur to animate some gameplay reveal trailer"

I'm not going to pay $60 for a game that needs mods to be good. It's the developer's job to make the game good.

It's almost as if graphics weren't the only way for a game to be good. Just like the last 2 Fallout games

 

[daveo42]

that dog has no fur

Guessing these are indicative of current console hardware. It's fine since it'll also be a massive open world.

 

[imBask]

All these complaints about graphic lol. Guess the game will have the opposite reaction of Witcher 3.

I generally don't care about graphics that much, but in 2015 I expect a little more

cmon look at the hairs, MGS 3 had better hairs than that

 

[Jokergrin]

"Gamebryo. Gamebryo never changes"

lol, im dying

 

[SockyJohnson]

Wow pretty cool. Can't wait to hear more about it.

 

[blame space]

Welp

 

[Bsigg12]

Please be this year!

 

[cleveridea]

to those complaining about graphics - just wait until 2017 and you'll see a great looking scifi RPG in 2077.

In the meantimes play the enromous amount of high production values, huge open world RPG scifi games...

 

[jurec84]

Am I the only one who finds the art direction a bit cartoony? Especially that last scene ...

 

[Discotheque]

Witcher 3 spoiled us.

In so many ways. Gonna be hard to go back to Bethesda's non existent writing after witcher's incredible side quests but still the world of fallout is interesting for sure so I'm still hyped

 

[Amahoi]

I'm hoping that trailer implies a voiced protagonist

 

[SenatorBot]

As someone who hates elder scrolls and never played a fallout game but loves RPGs, should I get this? Should I try 3 or New Vegas?

Try 3 first because once you played new vegas, you can never go back to 3.

 

[cakely]

Very yes.

Day one, obviously.

 

[blazenumb1]

I'll never understand why people preorder so early.

Excitement, they don't charge you until the game ships either. Also, on rare occasions Best Buy has given out stuff to those who pre-ordered early so no harm in being early

 

[Elandyll]

Looks great

That should be incentive enough to finally play Fallout 3 (which has been sitting in my Steam library forever).

Shamed admission: I have never played a Fallout game in my life

 

[TheRyanx2]

For me, graphics are at the bottom of the list as far as important features for this game. Even so, it looks totally fine, assuming the scope is large and the performance is solid.

 

[Lingitiz]

Guaranteed copy on release day?

When's the last time it was actually hard to find a copy of a game?

And also, digital.

 

[Servbot #42]

Are people being serious right now? Holy shit. "Trash". "Awful"? Really?

Some people are babies and expect the game to look like the order, Fallout 4 looks pretty good to me now hopefully it runs at 30FPS locked.

 

[Duffman]

Will be a great game for sure but seriously, it looks like something you could render optimally on the 3DS...

wtf am i reading

 

[bananafactory]

Am I the only one who finds the art direction a bit cartoony? Especially that last scene ...

It's definitely stylized, at least a little.
