On topic, heard some people waiting for a new UI, those guys are going to be pissed if Denuvo blocks new UIs since it will probably block Script Extender.

Who said Fallout 4 uses Denuvo on PC? I think people were speculating "what-if" a few days ago but there's really no evidence or reason to think Bethesda will use it that I'm aware of.
 
Not exactly an looker, then again, judging from the trailers it's not going to be that on PC either without mods.
Still Day 1 on PC and gonna drop it for a while after The Old Hunters come, hopefully it'll have some interesting mods by then.
 
I don't think it has anything to do with budget and anyone even remotely familiar with the working conditions of AAA game developers would be an idiot to call devs lazy. It just comes down to using the same engine for at least one more game. When this game began development, the thought of coming up to speed on a new multi-platform 'next-gen' engine for a giant Bethesda style open world game that would allow them to remain so mod friendly was probably unimaginable for a reasonable launch date.

This is probably the most plausible post in this thread, and I would sprinkle in a little "cross-gem, but probably canceled development on them" as well.

I wonder why they can't achieve 60 fps on PS4 when the game looks like that.

Parity. ;p

neither does any of us.
believe it or not.
no one was expecting it to look like the order 1886.no one is bashing the gameplay either.
but this is a screenshot thread. people will analyse and like or not like the them.

the 'gameplay is supreme' or 'sales speak' argument has nothing to do with this and just pathetic defense .
sales or gameplay dont make the screenshots look better. how much it matters in the end is a different story and a completely unrelated one.

This is a Bethy game, bugs are part of the gameplay , also illogical things :

First time I see this pic with the lockpicking, lol that's hilarious.
 
I'm ok with how it looks. And I'm sure it's nicer in motion.
But looking like that it better runs at rock solid 30fps, those graphics AND constant framedrops would be a dealbreaker for me.

Still, I'm going to wait a few months before getting this (more mods, updates to fix the more severe issues, etc) so I hope I have my PC by then
 
I don't need games that are technically pushing the max and up to modern standards, graphically. I just need a good game. Super excited for this, though I'm getting the Xbox version.

People seem to have some rose-tinted glasses when it comes to Fallout 3, or else they're only used to seeing modded PC shots. The game is definitely a significant upgrade over the last one. That being said, it's still a significant downgrade from what we saw at E3, which was probably the PC build. I don't blame them for showing off the better-looking version, and the PC version is in no way a fixed quantity, we'll be able to make it look however we want.

I'm more interested in sales numbers between consoles and PC than I am graphics comparisons. This sort of title specifically will probably be pretty lopsided towards the PC, moreso than we usually see with AAA releases on all platforms.
 
I wish I could understand the appeal of Bethesda games, but I just don't.

The mechanics in their games are never great, the graphics are very mediocre, and the story is never all that exciting or engaging.

I guess the immersion and world building they create?

This game is going to be absolutely massive but I just cannot really grasp why.
 
Bethesda needs to hire someone that actually knows how to create character models Jesus. Or they need to go back to art school.


Graphical level is expected on consoles especially for bethesdablur art direction. Though it does look pretty darn bad either way regards of the amount of things on the screen. Because to me if the amount of things on the screen are shit quality. Then whats the point.


Expect PC to surpass this of course and the mods to do a far better job of making this game look like a current gen game then Bethesda once again.


Pathetic...
 
I'm just saying, I remember being pretty impressed at Skyrim's initial trailers & screenshots. Even Fallout 3 looked pretty decent for last gen consoles.. right now this just feels like they are underachieving.

Yes, a post apocalyptic landscape isn't going to be "pretty" in the sense that there will be a bunch of flowers and butterflys but it can still look gorgeous in other ways. Look at Mad Max, the film/style was beautiful and the setting isn't THAT dissimilar to Fallout.

It's disheartening to see people defending the lack of effort and ambition that was obviously put into the art direction on display here.

What's going on in this thread is a lot of unwillingness to accept people have different opinions and standards. I think the game looks gorgeous and can't see why anyone would complain. To some people, I'm crazy. But to me, the people obsessing over how bad it looks are crazy, but that's neither here nor there. I'm not a PC gamer, never was, maybe that's why I think this game is gorgeous. Looking forward to this.

Well said. (Except for the lack of proper capitalization :P)

Yup! That's why I liked Fallout 3 more than Scrolls, it's harder to relate to a weirdo fantasy world than "what if you had to live in a post nuclear world?"
 
You haven't seen those animations?
Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMLbEAxjzj8

The original games had ridiculously detailed and intricate death/gore animations. Obviously that is much more complicated and difficult to portray in real time 3D, so detail regressed significantly as 3D standardised and things have slowly been getting better since. But that gif is basically 1998 levels of basic 3D gore.

No I've played the first couple games (never finished Tactics though). I see what you're saying, but I'm presuming that's the Bloody Mess perk, so I think that's par for the course. I suppose the lack of other canned deaths has more to do with physics replacing everything also.

Won't lie, it looks goofy sometimes for sure, especially the "boneless" ragdoll look that happens sometimes with deaths. Not sure I think it looks all that bad, but different strokes.
 
Looking back at the screenshots i posted earlier from the previous trailers, i noticed we have not seen those parts of the game in the new PS4 shots. So that the lighting could still very well be present.
 
Him saying it needed it was more so about the graphics since this is a screenshot thread so again u bringing in sales does nothing. Haven't said the game shouldn't be released at all either idk where i saidthat.

Carry on buttercup
Okay, I rescind my post.

If it was to be read as for better graphics, graphics need to be prioritized more then: Congratulations. +5 on the Slashdot insightful scale.
 
I wonder why they can't achieve 60 fps on PS4 when the game looks like that.
Because like in skyrim, we can probably put a shit ton of tiny objects inside a space and then use a weapon that makes them fly all over the place. My friend did that, he used the dark brotherhood's dining room as storage for food, he would pile a ton of bread and shit on the table and floor, and then fus ro dah the room which made the framerate tank to 5fps at best. Being able to do that is most likely the reason why fallout and elder scrolls games will never be 60fps on consoles. Ofc that situation is far from the norm....I hope.
 
If they were, I doubt there would be as many people getting on the graphics like there are.

Exactly. I would be stoked at that point. But 30? With a lot of recycled low res textures, very low geometry, little to no shadows, zero ambient occlusion, flat lighting, etc.. Come on son.

At 60 bucks, with the level of detail we are going to get in the coming months with other games? lol no right.

FF 15 shits on this and that's going to be open world.

Shoot Dark Souls 2 looks better then this.
 
The trailer looked nice, but damn...none of that made me say ''this can't be done on these consoles, surely this can definitely be Xbox One footage''. But it's starting to look like it was PC after all.



Ah yes. Thanks.

It doesn't look good on PC either, so I'm sure a lot of what you saw could have been done on consoles. It's an ugly game through and through. For a company that spends years and millions on their games, I expect a bit more. It's the art direction that bothers me most, though. Doesn't do anything for me.

That said, I'm open minded. Still plan to play it at some point and see what all the fuss is about.

Npcs in dark souls don't even have facial animation. -_- FFXV is coming out last year, it's natural that a 2016(maybe) title, would look better.
 
This. Alot of negative comments in here.
Except it's not out yet? If game play sucks than what(doubtful but still). I enjoy my tales games very much but I'll be the first to tell u after vesperia every game graphically hasn't done it for me doesn't mean the games are bad but graphical discussions are to be had

I don't understand it either with Bethesda, i mean don't they see that it looks stupid and on the other hand looks wrong visually in so many ways. I just can't comprehend a art direction meeting at that studio. Do they even try?

For some reason, this made me laugh out loud at work, hahaha.
