In Oblivion, Skyrim and probably Fallout 3 / New Vegas, every single NPC has their own life that they live wether you're there to see it or not. They eat, talk with friends, go to work etc, and can be permanently killed off. They also have tons of side quests, most of which are fairly unique. They also have a much, much larger world, with a ton of indoor and out door locations, with virtually uncountable numbers of weapons, armour, clothes and other items, a far more rebuts levelling up and class system, conversation trees and usually have a butt load of easter eggs.
Second Son looks good for sure, but it lacks all of the above and I know which I'd rather have if it were a choice between good graphics and all of the above.
Ofcourse they're not mutually exclusive, but it's far easier for a game as shallow as infamous to have better graphics for many reasons.
I have no words.

Complaints about graphics wherever I look.
Current gen seems to cause either (i) impressive trailers and downgrade discussion post-release or (ii) authentic footage and instant complaints...
I'd rather opt for the latter (excluding graphics dominating the whole discussion).

no Obsidian saddens me. i'll wait for a competent developer to get their hands on it.

Whatever, I just want to play a new Fallout go cry about graphics somewhere else
Thanks for having a real discussion instead of being a dismissive baby, I must be in the wrong though, how dare I expect good graphics, that's utterly unreasonable of me.
I agree with you that those comparisons are hyperbole and not accurate but the truth is that the assets are of 360/ps3 fidelity and I would expect more considering it's a new generation.

Zero detail for the ears.
It looks painted on.
And those hands...Square block technology yo.
And of course, the main character hair is just a wig once again.
I understand there is more to a game than graphics but there is also more to a game than the story and game 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 remaining static. 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. If the game looks like that but the mechanics etc. are an outstanding improvement then great but if Bethesda are dragging their heals again, I'm sorry but that sucks and the rest of the game doesn't get them a pass.
I wholeheartedly agree! If there is any benefit of them using Gamebryo/Creation it's that the mods will fix literally everything wrong with the game.
In terms of games on CryEngine of that scale, that's exactly what Star Citizen is currently attempting, and it will have way more to simulate than Fallout 4 just because of the added multiplayer aspects (assuming the scale of the game remains as its been marketed).
EDIT: how could I forget Kingdom Come? That is also open-world on CryEngine, although I am not super familiar with how large or small that game's world will be.

I'm at a loss here guys. Are we still talking about this game?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
Even if it was true. Sure, fuck those people who buy great games regardless of graphics.
it's not you. those graphic nitpickers are the ones on crazy pills. where the f do they even get that attitude from.
that was my first thought as well
I don't know, maybe I'm ignoring some posts like you're ignoring some of the ridiculous hyperbolic ones?

Well, considering it's a reveal trailer, I wouldn't go all doom and gloom just yet. It sets the tone and starts the hype, and then they actually start saying stuff about the game at E3.

What about this looks more 'open world' or less jank? I saw a 'town' that looked straight out of fallout 3. I saw a monster with fallout 3 animations. I'm still pumped. I'm no graphics whore. This looks, mechanically speaking, last gen. It looks like one of those 'hd remasters' people hate.

Yep, never again.
Sorry GAF, I love you, but not when it comes to games I'm excited to play.

Now I don't care about trashy Skyrim one bit... But Fallout... Fallout is fun. Really can't wait to play this.

That to me looks like a significant boost over F3/NV, and certainly not possible on last gen hardware.
But some it seems would rather have better fur on a dog than improved modeling, textures, lighting, and draw distances.
Oh yeah.
Exactly.
Jeezus, Fallout 3 looked that bad?

They probably didn't show off every single game mechanic, enemy type and item in this trailer.
I'm with you, I think it looks great. I'm sure actually being able to sit down and play it on a huge TV with some headphones will be an awesome experience. Which is really the whole point.
The game was just announced. I highly, highly doubt that they would show new things now. Especially if the game isn't coming out for over a year

without high rez texture mods, oh yes.
Yes. It was a brown, barren mess. It was fun as hell though.

What!? its at most 5 fps for almost maxing it. The default settings were ridiculous but taking the aa away and forcing the tessellation to x16 still lets me run it on a 290 with most things on ultra at 35-45fps

It didn't look good for 2008. Time was never going to be kind to it.

It's possible.
It's been 7 years since Fallout 3 and almost 4 years since Skyrim. I'd say it's time.

Its most definitely a large boost of the old games
People are too busy comparing it to its current and upcoming competition
Graphics look great to me, definitely an improvement but from the looks of it hopefully not too straining on the consoles, not that it matters much since I'll be playing on PC. But it definitely looks like they're going for a bit more performance over flair so hopefully a steady 30fps for you guys on console. I'm also impressed the initial reveal trailer was 3 minutes long and entirely composed of in-game footage and not a boring CGI tease.

Agreed. But I think they know how to develop a game like this now. They've had so much practice. I'm pretty optimistic
This is getting really overlooked. Beth put their cards on the table, that's ballsy and I think speaks for the game. I bet you a release date is near...

No absolutely does not
I find Witcher cut and paste and repetitive quests
and I am really tired of getting stuck in building, roads etc
to the point I need to reload my last save
Bethesda does single player RPG to the max
and I have more freedom to do what I want
I never even need to do the main quests
they give the player freedom no other game has ever matched for me
I put in over 1000 hours in oblivion, witcher 1 play thru, and right now the game is a chore

To play devil's advocate here, it's a bit disingenuous to use a downscaled gif as it ends up looking better than what it'll actually look like for most people.

brown & barren =/= looking bad. That was a fantastic artistic direction that fit the tone of the game and the game world.

Give them credit for not showing a bs trailer, but good god they need to get a new engine.

I guess what disappoints me about this trailer is that there is just not a lot of progression visible from Fallout 3/NV. The engine looks very similar, just more colorful, it seems like the game will play the same way, animations are still poor..
Like, when I look at Witcher 2 (2011) and Witcher 3 (2015) there is insane difference in quality everywhere (and I loved TW2 already). Huge jump.
But when I look at Fallout 3 (2008) and Fallout 4 (2016), the difference seems very small.
I mean, yes, environments look interesting to explore, there is more color and main character has latex jumpsuit he should have had back in Fallout 3 already. But still..
I dislike this kind of logic. There is nothing about Fallout being Fallout that necessitates poor technical presentation. Not with Bethesda having hundreds of millions of dollars at its disposal.
