This is what I do with every bethesda game. These screens don't deter me.
Ahh well that sucks. But still, part of a games selling point is its visuals. Otherwise no one would bother pushing them further.

Well, that's pretty ugly indeed. Hoping to see some PC screens at high settings, I will most surely get the game anyway (waiting for reviews) since I love Fallout but man, it should look better than this.

Exactly, not like those mods are going to immediately release. Until they do, it doesn't matter. By the time they do, this game will be cheap on PC

LOL! Looks like shit here.
Given that these are highly compressed JPEGs, I expect the game looks much better now, even without the patch, assuming you're actually playing the game. These shots are so compressed I can hardly tell details.

Well the graphical discussion seems pretty well publicized and cited across the board from what I can tell
I imagine when the time comes for the NEXT Fallout game they may look into shaking things up a bit
Devs hate to ditch what they know and start over. They dev time for this game was already pretty long and thats just them iterating on their previous entries

It looks bad for a proposed next gen game. I expect higher IQ and textures and the right lighting and shadow work to be there in full. Otherwise this might as well be a half decent remaster.
Same thing. But I would go with the year 1 version.
At this point I figure it's easier for them to work with gamebryo for this type of thing. Not better performance-wise, but maybe it's a better workflow.

Just out of curiosity: Why don't you go PC day 1. Play the game with higher details/60fps and then return in a year to replay it with mods? This way you also do not need to rebuy the game during a steam sale.
Yep, that coffee cup screams Bethesda seal of quality
oh come on. They improved the coffee mug.

Fallout 3 is the most I ever played a game I did not like. I have no idea how I pushed myself through to the end of that game. There was no fun, no charm, nothing. Ugly world, bad art, ridiculously repetitive combat. This looks a lot like Fallout 3. Will not touch,

Oh I forgot about that. Should be interesting.

I think it's interesting how the lack of media has driven people to speculate Bethesda is affraid to show the game off, and not actually part of their pre-release plan. Bethesda announced the game on their own terms, and the release date they set was of their own choosing. If the game has problems they could have easily not announced it at E3 or set a release date for next year instead of having it be so close to the announcement. Not following a traditional release cycle doesn't mean the game has problems, especially when it's been clear from the beginning that they want to keep as much of the game secret as possible.

I hope Sony gets on the ball on this so I wont have to buy the game twice
Then again shit goes for sale on Steam for pennies so whatever

People that are expecting graphical mods for the console are more than likely setting themselves up for disappointment.
Interestingly enough Danny's next on the point video will be about embargoes :O

At least the coffee cups are round. Perhaps the base of the bobblehead is supposed to be angled.

Is that a PC screenshot of F3?
I like that F3 screenshot a lot better aesthetically, but I actually enjoyed the yellow tinge that the game had over the largely filterless and probably more realistic look of 4 .-. At least as far as looking at these vistas are concerned.
In more immediate environments, I think F4 looks pretty fine for what it is.
I can probably go through this thread and pick out some of the stupidest negative comments over what? Some screenshots for a game that hasn't been released? And judging them over a console screenshot? You act like this thread is of the upmost intelligent discussion.
How about you google the definition of critique then come back to me. Lol grow up, wtf?

Embargo and Bethesda wants to have as less leaks as possible.

Nah id say 2009-2012 ps3 game it looks ok jus not next gen
I remember being incredibly impressed by the physical movement of the (intricately modeled) chains in the prison cell, and the detailed shadows they cast on the walls.
No such things in the initial release version of course.

They could show some short side mission or something...anything.

There won't be any mods on consoles which make the game look better. No 4096x4096 texture mods, weather mods, lod configs, fov edits, etc. Although there will probably be mods on the console which are more gameplay related.

I dont think they want anything spolied to be honest.
I think all they wanted to show was at E3.

Yep,graphically the game is average so if gameplay is broken that will fuel the fire, pretty sure Bethesda knows that so I hope they have a solid gameplay and a also a good story

The highly compressed jpeg argument again that will magically enable shadows, geometry, texture resolution, AO, and other bells and whistles that are standard in late 2015 with the magic of a .png.
(This is someone who snagged an early retail copy and, they are not that compressed either.)

Most games can't do this and have a decent frame rate. It doesn't matter how good it looks if it plays sluggish. Nex gen is current gen for the past 2 years😜

At least these threads bring out the modded screenshots, which are generally very striking.

It seems to be a bit 20% more round.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Game like what? It's ugly because the graphics are shit.
There's no excuse for it other then the graphics are shit.
Marvel
could never
I wouldn't say launch title but yes it does easily look like a PS3 game.

You know theyre not exactly impossible to make or implement.
but bethesda simply won't let them pass so at to not look incompetent.
with pc's they have the 'consoles held us back' excuse.
but theyll be left red faced if a console version ends up looking much better than how it looked at launch .
I really doubt it will become really cheap within 3-4 months. The mod tools come out early next year, and from looking at the dates on the Nexus I think it only took less than 2-3 months for some of those really popular ENB mods to come out after the launch of Skyrim, actually the ENB mods started appearing in 2011. So yeah, we'll just have to see how quick the modding community works things out this time and I'm pretty sure the graphics mods are separate from Bethesda's tools.
Yep.
I wonder what "card" is next after we got a png shots that looks 5% better than those. lol
Let me correct what I said earlier. Am I willing to overlook sub-par graphics because I will enjoy the game regardless? Yes. Should they get a new engine so these games don't look so bloody dated? Absolutely. The next Elder Scrolls shouldn't be using this engine but unfortunately it probably will. Mods will correct this but it shouldn't be left to them to bring your games up to speed.
