I'm actually in the clear about having to wait too long for this game without playing something. I have another game I've been wanting have a surprise release date of 5 days from now, that's an 80 hour rpg easily. Then I just gotta play it for a little over a week and BOOM. Fallout time.
 
Mods are currently only confirmed for PC and X1. And you get Fallout 3 for free if you buy the X1 version.

Mods are NOT only confirmed for PC and X1 only. They've been confirmed for PS4 as well. The only thing that PC and X1 have with mods is that due to unspoken of reasons (probably deals and Sony's clearance process or both) mods will take a bit longer to appear on the PS4 version.

But seriously people are pretending that mods are a game changer for consoles. Many mods aren't likely to make it past if they include copyrighted content. Graphical upgrades aren't likely to come. And any of the mods about new companions with their own quests ala Skyrim are likely to come but those won't be for a while. So we'd be left with mods that change little aspects and annoyances from the game or allow you to do something the game didn't want you to do. Those will still come to PS4 but will take longer.

I doubt that Macho Man Dragon mod for Skyrim would have made it to consoles,for instance.
 
Does anyone know how this will work? A code in the game case, printed on receipt or on disk?

I think you will get a XBL download code as F3 will be the digital 360 version, playable via backwards compatibility.

Yes, you are right. Looks like that this news did not get to me, sorry.
 
“Just like Skyrim, there are mods that can break your game pretty wildly, and so we have some safety things on the console for that, but at the same time, we are going to let people break their game,” game director Todd Howard explained to IGN.

Console mods won’t be subjected to much of an approval process, either. At least, not if Howard and co can help it. The hope is that transferring them from PC will be a snap.

“We don’t want to [be heavy handed about approval],” he said. “We’ll see how we have to go through that. The plan is that it goes through Bethesda.net, but... outside of things that we would normally take down—we take down things on Steam Workshop if it’s got things that are illegal, or things like that—we’ll do the same thing.”

Seems like they'll mostly filter copyrighted and porn stuff. I'm optimistic about it.
 
Very excited! Fallout 3 was one of my favorite games of all time. A little nervous that this won't quite live up to expectations though. Based on the footage shown and impressions. Looks like an awesome game but maybe not mind blowing like Fallout 3 was for me when it released. Hoping for the best.

Any Meta Score predictions? I'll say 88. Fantastic but a bit disappointing and not the year's best.
 
Isn't the reason mods are coming to the Xbone first before ps4 more to do with a deal between Microsoft and Bethesda and not Sony's policies on mods?
 
It's absolutely incredible that this game is releasing in 2015.

There's never been a more perfect cycle between announcement and release.

Agree on this! More publishers should do the same thing! The hype began perfectly and it doesn't take too long for the release so the hype doesn't vanish. The only problem would be early leaks of games.
 
My guess is 80-85

No doubt ill be playing nonstop for months though and take no notice of any reviews

You really think this game is getting sub 85? Seriously? Fallout on an improved Skyrim tech engine?

Unlikely. Bethesda open world games are judged on their scope. This will be no different.

It's almost assured that this game is leaked. I doubt it'll leak sooper early, but a weekend leak seems likely. Which will make that weekend wait that much more difficult.

i'd say 90+

its been about half a decade since skyrim... say what you will about bethesda open world games, only they can scratch a certain itch. it's going to be a huge deal

I just think unfair comparisons to The witcher 3 will come in to play. When really they shouldnt be conpared. But we will see. At least im not saying another rubbish " its not gone gold its gone [insert crap joke] "

Im just 100% ready for my wastelands experience.
 
Gone shit more like.

Any new word on when the mod tools (GECK 2?) will be out? I know Todd Howard said "early 2016" a while ago, but perhaps that has changed.

I doubt it. Skyrim and The Witcher 2 had about the same release as Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3. That didn't stop Skyrim from getting massive critical acclaim even with TW2 beating it in terms of story and technical achievement (from the PC side of things).

I think this will be no different. I also think that the amount of "stuff" Bethesda has likely jammed into FO4 gives it the edge here. TW3 will be the more technically impressive game, but FO4 has that Bethesda "special sauce" that a lot of "open world" games haven't been able to replicate.

Is this okay? Really? We're just ignoring this?

Report the post and move on.

No, I mean a leak of information. I guess it's hard for devs to keep certain projects a secret and that's maybe why we have to wait 2-3 years from the announcement till the release.

I agree though that there will be a leak of the game the weekend before. ( :/ )

You speak the truth my man,
Bethesda definitely have that magic touch which i probably didnt take in to account. But like i said i am the biggest Fallout fan so either way is good for me. Have a good one mate :D
 
Quick question -

I know that you create your character at the start of the game but I wanted to know if there's "preset" characters that you can select instead? Thanks.
