[Hoo-doo]

Yikes.

Side-to-side with a game like TW3, the differences are enormous.
Goddamn Gamebryo, why do you suck so hard.

 

[warheat]

gamebyro scream all over the screenshot

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Yeah, doesn't look too hot.

But we all knew that was going to happen. Shouldn't come as a shock to anyone.

Having said that, ps4 day 1.

 

[Jito]

Haven't played the game, declaring it as one of the best? Okay regardless of the fact that it is entirely subjective. Bethesda are well known for their glitches, bugs, and memory leaks.

Apparently not playing a game makes a game.

We'll see next week, I'm pretty confident in my prediction guys, swing round the review thread if you want to eat crow.

 

[Diablos]

Utter shite

 

[Styles]

Yikes.

Still playing day 1.

 

[Carn82]

Can we expect graphical mods on xbox one that can "solve" this? or only gameplay mods?

wouldnt count on it. Mods are also coming to PS4 btw.

 

[Durante]

Holy shit...
I mean it's kind of impressive how far they have come but..
That is beyon my mind how they can use such an awful engine for such a long time

EDIT:

NVM maybe it's because of the modding scene?
Would make sense won't it?

It's certainly true that there isn't any other engine which handles multiple gameplay and world mods as well as theirs. Credit where credit is due.

7 years.

I've got one as well (2009-04-19 it says):

 

[Blobbers]

So Dogmeat's official name is Hablar. Not sure how I feel about that. Other than that, these screens look pretty much the same as the promo ones.

 

[neoism]

I will still be playing this day one and love every second of it.. it does look a lot better than the older games people just really must've forgotten how shitty fallout 3 looked on Xbox.

 

[Irobot82]

So is there higher res textures for the PC or something? Didn't skyrim do that? Everything looks so blurry.

I can't f'ing stand seeing pixels in my f'ing textures. FUCK! It's 2015 already! That desk looks like a hot pile of shit.

Will consoles be getting the inevitable ENB mods?

LOL None. ENB ran outside of the game. Also no mods that will use script extenders. Console mods will be very limited.

Just look at that. So glad PC can mod this.

 

[Denton]

Wut

People think this looks ugly?

Game looks great. Way better than I was expecting

I don't get it. Did you see the pics on a monitor and not a phone? How it lacks shadows, AO, how low res textures are, how low poly models are, how poor the LoD is ?
I mean, these are objective things.

 

[Dictator93]

Looks like shit, but base bethesda games have never looked beyond that for their generations. Skyrim looked decent in wide shots, but up close was very rough indeed.

I stilll think the initial oblivion reveal looked rather visually great for its time. Then they took the nerf stick to it.

Around 1:19. Look at when he sheaths the sword at 2:09 as well... oblivion never ended up looking like that for some reason.

 

[Rin Tohsaka]

Gamebyro looking shite as usual

 

[Krusenstern]

Can we expect graphical mods on xbox one that can "solve" this? or only gameplay mods?

I expect graphical mods (should these type of mods release on console at all) to severely tank the framerate on console.

 

[Sun Bather]

Can we expect graphical mods on consoles that can "solve" this? or only gameplay mods?

Mods will no doubt be very limited on consoles. The reason the graphical mods on pc works is that the hardware is often that much more powerful, than what Bethesda had in mind when making the games with consoles in focus. So even if there is these visual mods, it will destroy the performance.

 

[Kikorin]

Looks clean and ugly at the same time, anyway I'll love it.

 

[Rad-]

Man that is not a good looking game graphically.

 

[Jax Teller]

Hello GOTY and quite possibly GOTG. Looks great.

 

[The Lone Courier]

So Dogmeat's official name is Hablar. Not sure how I feel about that. Other than that, these screens look pretty much the same as the promo ones.

Thats spanish for speak.

 

[sappyday]

So Dogmeat's official name is Hablar. Not sure how I feel about that. Other than that, these screens look pretty much the same as the promo ones.

lmao lol

 

[diamount]

how does that metric work exactly? (im not impressed by the graphics but I think it looks fine for a Fallout game).

Just saying graphically the game looks very poor indeed, artstyle wise maybe - but not seeing much of that with a bunch of dilapidated buildings. Poor textures, draw distance, shadow quality. If someone just got off playing Witcher 3 they will be quite disappointed that the PS4 is not really being utilised.

 

[Carn82]

Lets hope the characters / animations / certain effects got a nice improvement; I guess that could be a fair tradeoff with the non-that-impressive world- and enviromental assets.

 

[……forgetit]

Have we seen anything from this game? I feel like all we got was that E3 blowout and that's it.

 

[Yurikerr]

Oblivion was a nice looking game for it's time, wasn't it?

 

[Snarfington]

For a PS4 version of a Bethesda game it looks pretty darn good. Image quality seems nice, and even though it's lacking in some graphical flourishes it certainly has a nice art style. Nice to see consoles seem to get a quality version, at least on the surface.

 

[Denton]

It's certainly true that there isn't any other engine which handles multiple gameplay and world mods as well as theirs. Credit where credit is due.


I've got one as well (2009-04-19 it says):

I think the people who are impressed by these FO4 screens never saw the PC version of Fallout 3. No other explanation.

 

[kvn]

Not sure if serious.

 

[Hoo-doo]

We'll see next week, I'm pretty confident in my prediction guys, swing round the review thread if you want to eat crow.

You sound like the prime example of a person who is going to have a complete meltdown when reviews aren't unanimously gushing.

 

[Pif]

Thank god I don't like this game. Will still have a social life for a while.

 

[deoee]

Oh god... animations :|

 

[Durante]

Yeah, I expect gamplay mods to mostly make the jump to console without too many issues (as long as they don't require anything like a script extender, which was quite common for more extensive ones on PC). Graphical mods, not so much.

 

[FATALITY]

this thread proves that bethesda can get away with every shit they put out there

 

[RPGCrazied]

I think the better question is seeing the PS4 version in motion. Screenshots can hide a lot of issues.

 

[Twenty7KVN]

Yikes. Those screens look awful.

 

[neoism]

Hearing it's a smooth running PS4 is also great news

really omg yes.. the performance of the PS4 version is really all I'm concerned about

 

[Hoo-doo]

I think the better question is seeing the PS4 version in motion. Screenshots can hide a lot of issues.

Usually it is the other way around.

If someone just got off playing Witcher 3 they will be quite disappointed that the PS4 is not really being utilised.

well, compared to something like W3 it won't look that much better on a nice PC (except the obvious improvements in resolution, framerate, filtering, etc). Like you said, a lot of it comes down on design (and choice in engine), and in my opinion Bethesda designs some ugly games. But theyre fun so I ll gladly play them

 

[shmoglish]

lol, i wanted to say it looks very good and i read the answers..

Yeah... Maybe it is opposite Day.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

I see a definite improvement from the last game on this engine, Skyrim. That's all I expect from Bethesda.

 

[Boke1879]

Now all I need to hear is that it runs smoothly on ps4. FO3 was one of my favorites last fen. Can't wait

 

[kvn]

Works in both ways.

 

[Windom Earle]

haha. Also surprised that the scalper guy is still here.

 

[Jito]

Haha nah, I'll skim the reviews for scores to stick in peoples faces (like those two, maybe you as well) then save the game for myself on the 11th.

 

[RoadHazard]

Looks pretty awful next to something comparable like TW3, but that's to be expected of Bethesda I guess.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Usually it is the other way around.

But screenshots can hide LOD pop in, tearing, stuttering.

 

[TheAutomator]

Yikes. Gonna need graphical mods.

 

[diamount]

Lets hope the characters / animations / certain effects got a nice improvement; I guess that could be a fair tradeoff with the non-that-impressive world- and enviromental assets.

I just hope the writing has improved a little. I can deal with everything else being mediocre.

 

[Rad-]

Oblivion was a nice looking game for it's time, wasn't it?

It was and Morrowind was impressive as well.

 

[Bl@de]

Compared to the Witcher 3 this looks ugly (when comparing console versions, PC is another thing). Didn't expect anything else from Bethesda.
