Quite the opposite. I'm in a cheerful mood.

Their presentation was horrific. There was no cohesive directed creative artistic vision in that trailer. It was a mishmash of random content with no narrative flow.

Does the game have a moral punch? All of the other games in this series do even the endlessly overrated third entry.

It parses as a buzz feed highlight package to get people ' hyped '. "oh look a blimp, some power armor, a dog, a vault, here's some neat flashbacks to how things used to be, here's a dome that's still around, haha look at these neat things"

Critical analysis is not always emotional. Factually that trailer is a piece of garbage.

You must be fun at parties.

On a cappy pc from 2010 with integrated graphics. Feel my pain.

Mine is from around then. A Dell XPS 7100, and a sub $100 video card. I can pretty much max Fallout 3 and New Vegas no problem.

Do you at least have a PCI Express slot?

 

[Cidd]

I'm glad there was no CGI BS in this trailer and looks like Airships will be a thing.

I can't wait!

2016:

12 years of hands technology has brought us to this moment...woah

Don't know if you're joking but the top pic is from the 2013 mobile port with updated models.


That said Fallout 4 looks really good but it seems to be in between gens. As if they stopped developing for last gen partway through development.

 

[Niwa]

Who wants on the Hype Train?

Pls let me on this train ;0

 

[OraleeWey]

Hard to tell? None of that was CG.

Looked all in-game to me.

OK.OK. That's great. Had my doubt's but I thought it was in game.

 

[Viper3]

Disjointed, inconsistent visual themes, heavy handed metaphor, lacking any moral overtones.

Pisspoor excuse for a fallout trailer. I am expecting even worse than the lackluster effort from three.

If these games piss you off so much, why the fuck do you care then?

 

[DryvBy]

How the hand actually looks.

Taken from Gamersyde's video.

Half-Life 1 hands. No difference.

 

[TomShoe]

To show that it's hyperbole to equate it to this like some people are doing:

"All you had to do was follow the damn hype train, CJ!"

 

[Bobby Boulders]

In my opinion that trailer is a piece of garbage.

Fixed that for you, mate.

 

[GreatestHits]

I know. I think some of us are starting to understand, this is just how GAF talks about a new game. The average memeber of GAF is fooled by the same tactics that devs use on the average gamer to make their games seem better overall. Which is the vertical slice or on-rails deception tactic

 

[Majestad]

Do we know what city this takes place in?

 

[banefirelord]

On a cappy pc from 2010 with integrated graphics. Feel my pain.

Hey, I actually played New Vegas and 3 on a 2010 netbook with integrated graphics. Sure, they looked like mud (moreso than usual), but I had a steady framerate and had a lot of fun.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

Graphics are the least of my concerns in "things Bethesda has fixed in the next Fallout game."

This ..especially as someone who bought both Fallout and Elder Scroll games on PS3 the most important thing to me is does it run properly after playing for an hour or so

 

[Duffman]

Do we know what city this takes place in?

Boston

 

[I H8 Memes]

This is one ugly fucking game. And animations that would be out of place in almost any open world game from last gen. I cant even tell you how disappointing that trailer was.

You know Behtesda has made a lot of money from the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series. A lot of money. This is how they repay us. Pocketing every spare cent and rolling out this same shitty engine over and over. Bunch of cocksuckers.

 

[FStop7]

Calling it now. Dog is the only playable character. No guns. Higher speech means you're a Lassie-tier dog and people can understand your barks. Charisma means the ability to do tricks and impress the citizens of the wasteland.

Perk: Explosive Diarrhea - your turds are now landmines.
Perk: That's a Good Boy - enemies will hesitate before attacking because you're so adorable.
Perk: Heavy Petting - enemies of a tribe of animal-tail wearing otherkin will follow you like an erotic God.
Perk: The Hounds and the Bees - you now have bees in your mouth. When you bark, you shoot bees at people.

I'd play the shit out of this.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Did the trailer have in game footage or was it CGI? It was hard to tell.

PS2 CGi lol

But isn't that exactly the purpose of the teaser? You seem to have had high expecations. Save those for the actual full reveal next week.

 

[AkuMifune]

Just give it to me.

 

[Mendax]

Do we know what city this takes place in?

boston

 

[KatamariOnTheRocks]

You really need to go back and play some last-gen games

Or I could play this when it comes out and have the same graphical experience.

pls stop, it's embarrassing

Oh I'm sorry, the last of us looked like trash on ps3 right, such a bad looking game /s

Maybe if you have something valid to contribute you could try harder.

Having an issue with dated graphics for a new game is perfectly valid and I'm elaborating as to why, not drive by shitposting with no reason or explanation like you did.

 

[Emedan]

I know the colour palette in last generation was very bleak and all, but having this game look a little like Sunset Overdrive doesn't really do it any favours neither. This should be bleak

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

That was pretty great. Never played a Fallout game before, but the Boston background makes it hard to pass up.

 

[-tetsuo-]

Tell me about it.

 

[2+2=5]

For those complaining about the gray-brown look of fallout 3... that's excactly how it was supposed to look

In fact fo4 reminded me of the bright, colorful and clean type 0 hd compared to the original type 0 that was dark and gritty on purpose.

Obviously changes happen and maybe it's for the better, but honestly i loved the lifeless look of the fo3 wasteland.

 

[Skiptastic]

Graphics weren't super impressive, but I'm not going to be spending the 100+ hours of gameplay that close to the dog, so I don't really care that much. It's disappointing, but not overwhelmingly so.

I'm just psyched to be getting back into the universe. I've loved F3 and FNV so much, I can't wait to jump back in and get going.

 

[FunkyPajamas]

PS2 CGi lol

So Toy Story graphics then?

[Moon_frogger]

When we say 'looks like gamebryo' please understand, the last thing we are concerned with is how pretty the game is.

 

[erragal]

Is posting a jpg/gif your version of an intellectual counter argument?

Why not try to dispute the statements I've made if you disagree. Hype for hype's sake is a marketing scheme, not a way of life.

Fallout is a series where three out of the four mainline entries are a sublime mix of absurdist referential cultural humor mixed with legitimate moral commentary. One of the few gaming properties that even attempts to validate itself with the human condition even while still being a game first.

Watching that devolve into focus group produced dreck is fairly shameful on the industry.

 

[InfiniteBento]

That trailer blew me away. The graphics in comparison to three are pretty incredible. Removing the brown and green filter really makes a huge difference also. I'm hyped for this. Makes me want to save up and buy a ps4 since a PC is a bit out of my price range currently.

Fallout 1 and 2 took place in California after a nuclear war.

So it's not shocking it turned into a desert wasteland.

I hope the devs arent reading this lol

Ok, now you're just being an ass. :/

 

[Gator86]

Well it was basically Elder Scrolls combat for melee. What I want is decent gun combat! Like, FPS quality gun combat.

It's sad this is even a thing we're hoping for. I thought I would be more excited but I'm expecting this game to be a dumpster fire on release. I'll probably jump in 6 months after release when they've patched it to a reasonable release quality. The last few years have trained me to expect bug-ridden disaster for any AAA console release and Bethesda's games have been utterly broken for years. Isn't PS3 Skyrim still broken?

 

[Fried Food]

I don't know man. This looks like a game breed in the previous gen. I'm expecting rock solid 60 FPS on consoles.

 

[Kazuhira]

When I say this looks exactly like Fallout 3 I'm not speaking about the graphics. I'm talking about the way this trailer shows the exact same world and actions you were capable of in fallout 3. I want something that feels fresh. I imagined real environment traversal, climbing, crawling, exploring. I imagined tool crafting and scavenging for supplies. I imagined new creatures and animals. I imagined new armor for god sakes. I can go on and on but this trailer looks just like Fallout 3 to me. I want fallout 4.

Dude,we haven´t see anything gameplay-wise..how did you reach that conclusion?

 

[Caipirinha]

Skyrim PS3 ^

I'm still day 1 but lettuce be cereal

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Okay, I fully admit that as a proud resident of the state of NY this will sound salty as hell, but is it just me who has noticed that Boston has seemingly become the center of the United States over the last ten years?

Yes, I'm aware that there are a lot of reasons for Boston to be so popular, all of which are from the sports world. It was started in 2004, when the Red Sox, down 3-0 in the ALCS against their archrival Yankees, came back, won all four games, and went on to sweep the World Series and become the most popular team in baseball, winning two more titles since. The Patriots have been the measuring stick in the NFL as Tom Brady has become the game's most popular player by a country mile, and even controversies like spying on other teams and deflating footballs have seemingly INCREASED their popularity. The Celtics and Bruins have consistently been among the most popular franchises in their respective sports, and the horrible tragedy at the Boston Marathon two years ago just increased the love and admiration for the city. One of the biggest stars in the WWE, John Cena, is a native of West Newbury, just outside Boston. One of the most acclaimed and popular movies of the last ten years, The Departed, was set in Boston. Oh yeah, and the frigging Olympics are most likely going to be held there in 10 years.

And now, Fallout 4 will be set in Boston. While the series isn't as high-profile as, say, Grand Theft Auto it's still a a huge show of respect for a city. And considering that residents of the city aren't exactly...ahem...humble, I think it's just going to increase the ego of Mass-GAF.

And I'll just say it now. Translation: BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

But how do you really feel?

 

[FunkyPajamas]

I'm not going to be spending the 100+ hours of gameplay that close to the dog

Oh trust me, you'll be close to the dog. And then it'll die. And you will cry.

 

[xxracerxx]

Kind of hope the opener of this one is set in the past and the player has to make it to the vault.

 

[smudge]

It's amazing how many apologists in here are eager to grovel for anything Fallout related that they think for someone to expect decent graphics in 2015 is just crazy!

What's wrong with people? How can it be so hard to understand that there is a certain level of graphical fidelity expected of each generation, and this game is clearly indicative of a ps3/360 game, yet the apologists are lining up for preorders because they don't care if it was a NES game at this point "giv meh morr falloot!"

How can people have such low/non existent standards and be so childish as to dismiss others for actually wanting good game play AND good graphics, wow, what a crazy expectation.

It's pathetic how so many people are talking down on anyone not blindly buying this day 0 because we have functioning eyes that tell us how bad the games graphics and animations are.

Sorry for all the people that have standards and expect an increase in graphical fidelity between games, many people in here say that every past game has looked bad so why would we expect this to look better...

So because their games are always of low graphical fidelity, they get a free pass and we should accept it rather than look at graphical upgrades as a reasonable next step/improvement in future titles.

I'm not foolish enough to group all of gaf together as some single entity as those grasping at straws are, but it's clear that the apologist confirmation bias is extremely prevalent in threads like this.

Don't think I have read a more entitled whiny post in the entire thread. If you think this trailer looks indicative of a 360 game then you need to blow the dust of your 360 and take another look at its games.

You can have lifeless without turning the entire game into a grey stain. Still New Vegas was much, much worse in that respect than FO3. A brown mess, from the wasteland to the buildings.

If we're going to compare, can we please use fucking pics that aren't compressed to the size of an ant?

 

[AuthenticM]

People saying this looks like a last-gen game are crazy and irrational. Don't waste your time on them. You cannot reason with irrational people.

 

[Darknight34]

Yeah, ok! That gif convinced me! The lighting is waaaay better then the previous games!

Ya that's... huh... I've changed my mind.

Fallout 4 on PS4 up for preorder now

 

[Viper3]

Factually that trailer is a piece of garbage.

Maybe you should look up "factual". Your "factual" opinion is not factual for anyone else but yourself.
