Correct me if I'm wrong but are all the people bitching in this thread going to turn the game on and stare at shadows or lack-there-of all day? Or are you, like, you know... going to play the game?

Just curious. Because I honestly can't fucking tell anymore.

Why did they pick the worst haircut

 

[RichiRamjag]

Dear god. Go actually look at a video of what Fallout 3 looked like. My god.

Dear god what? I said a remaster, I didn't say it looked exactly like fallout three. Let's leave the big man out of this.

Folks will play it. But that doesn't mean that folks can't want a game looking current. I don't get this logic, we would all be playing SNES or PS1 if we didn't care about graphics.

 

[blame space]

Ahh, no worries at all. Folks are always going to defend their favorite franchises. No need to give them a pass on shoddy work though.

What are you, their supervisor? "Shoddy work" because the bobblehead's base isn't a perfect circle? There's nitpicking and then there's the kind of stuff on display any time anyone posts screenshots of this game.

compressed jpegs are worthless.

lol at Durante and his usual bullshit. its getting old. grow up.

? Durante is really civil, what are you talking about?

I have to look at the game to play it. This game doesn't look like absolute garbage or anything, but I definitely wouldn't say it looks good.

Is this real life?

 

[Taker34]

Great graphics and IQ! Keeping the scope of the game in mind, you can be sure to play the GotY 2015.
There's no doubt we can expect a behemoth of gaming.

Personally, I can't wait anymore. Nov 10 will be glorious!

 

[Durante]

I said nothing about details that are impossible to lose in compressed photos.

But those (draw distance, shadows, LOD, AO) are the things most people are primarily complaining about. And you apparently agree that compression is irrelevant to that discussion.

lol at Durante and his usual bullshit. its getting old. grow up.

Huh?

 

[KiLLz4TwinKies]

lol @ people freaking out over the graphics...

If graphics is what you are looking for, fallout isnt for you


Will be fixed down the road with Mod support that console now has

The only user which I read his posts carefully because of how much information and research he puts into everything and you call it bullshit? Grow up.

It is a screenshot thread??! Nobody is saying anything about gameplay except people defending the graphics!

Yeah I plan on playing the game with my eyes closed.

 

[family_guy]

wat

AC open worlds are packed to the point of irritation. MGSV's open world is basically a bunch of really really small checkpoints connected by a bunch of its-fucking-nothing.gif

Many people confuse open world with open gameplay mechanics. They love talking about the things you can do with MGSV's gameplay, but can't say much positive about the actual world itself.

 

[glassgannon]

Silence? What do you want them to say? Game looks fine and I doubt they're scared. Have you seen there games prior to this, and they all sold like hot cakes. I'm sure they're shaking in their boots at the hyperbole.

marketing the game with actual screenshots and gameplay after e3 would be a start

going by the defence in this thread they have nothing to be scared of,itll sell like hotcakes,
so we should definitely be okay with the game's state. because itll sell. who cares if its buggy or looks bad. selling copies makes it so much better.

 

[Jarmel]

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.

This is my favorite post in this thread.

 

[aravuus]

Reading the thread, it's starting to feel like the people blindly defending the game/Bethesda are worse than the ones that are allegedly just here to bash the graphics or something

compressed jpegs are worthless.

lol at Durante and his usual bullshit. its getting old. grow up.

Haha what

 

[studyguy]

Yeah that's a Bethesda game alright...

 

[fastballspecial]

I have to look at the game to play it. This game doesn't look like absolute garbage or anything, but I definitely wouldn't say it looks good.

It looks fine to me for something that is running on off-the-shelf $400-350 hardware.

 

[Betty]

Still getting it on PS4, I think the pics look fine and I have faith that it'll look great in motion.

 

[benny_a]

Unlikely. If you want a better looking Fallout 4 at this time of day than is shown here then you need to get the PC version or pray really strong that Bethesda can patch it to be a bit better than what it is.

Of course praying won't help but that's all you can do.

 

[Auto-Reply]

There seems to be room for improvement via mods... I'm a videogame expert so I can say that with confidence!

 

[Slowdive]

Doesn't look too good, still can't wait though.

 

[Jobbs]

Hard to believe I'll be playing this a week from Tuesday.

[Kenzodielocke]

Can we please stop with shit like "Fuck graphics, gameplay is the only thing that matters" please ? People gonna talk about graphics in a screenshot thread. Get over it.

Also, there is a lot wrong with gameplay in Bethesda games...

 

[ElTorro]

The facial animations in the trailers we have look horrible.

A Bethesda game, alright.

 

[Denton]

People are tripping so hard. It'd laughable man. Oh the things I could say but won't.

That's lame. If you can prove all the naysayers wrong, do it. Don't tease. Are these screens somehow not representative of the shadow distance, LoD, texture quality et cetera ?

compressed jpegs are worthless.

lol at Durante and his usual bullshit. its getting old. grow up.

Wow.

 

[RichiRamjag]

What are you, their supervisor? "Shoddy work" because the bobblehead's base isn't a perfect circle? There's nitpicking and then there's the kind of stuff on display any time anyone posts screenshots of this game.

And what are you? Their PR rep. It doesn't look good to me, if it were only the base, then I wouldn't have anything to complain about. The textures aren't nice and shadows are missing. I don't care for that, sorry if it hurts your feelings. I don't feel this is nitpicking, I am the last person to nitpick graphics. I even thought the first few people dogging the graphics were crazy, I checked the images on my PC and it looked bad. Sorry.

If your feelings are going to get hurt over comments about screenshots in a screenshot thread, then I don't know what to tell you.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Many people confuse open world with open gameplay mechanics. They love talking about the things you can do with MGSV's gameplay, but can't say much positive about the actual world itself.

Fair enough. MGSV's gameplay is fantastic but the actual world itself is incredibly limited and nothing like what Bethesda tries to do with their games.

 

[Tubie]

Fallout, or even Bethesda games have never looked good.

It's still a huge upgrade from Fallout 3 tho.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Will be fixed down the road with Mod support that console now has

Highly doubtful.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Yeah, that is the reason. Only the last-gen bobblehead poly count.

Not the myriad of other graphical checklists that is to expected as a standard in 2015, even in a open world game.

As gamers we are allowed to voice our displeasure in hopes it evokes a more positive change. Complacency due to IP recognition is allowed to be addressed by the consumer.

 

[Percy]

Need a mod to fix the thread title. OP typed a '4' where he clearly meant to type a '3'

Spoiler

(twice even)

from the looks of those screens.

 

[Windom Earle]

https://twitter.com/AllGamesBeta/status/660484827033051136

Ugh... Horrible art, textures and low poly models.

 

[jesu]

Looking good!

Lazy developers strikes again

I'm sure all your complaints about graphics will be addressed when Fallout 5 is released.

uh

 

[Felix Lighter]

As with everything we've seen so far, it looks pretty terrible. The character models look drastically better than FO3 and Skyrim but compared to most major releases, even those are well below what we've been seeing. That's all fine, I don't need every game to be a looker but what worries me more is loading into towns and large interiors and I'd expect they would be eager to show it if the open world was seamless. I'm also expecting the typical Bethesda animations outside of specific scripted moments. Those aspects of the Bethesda open world games have grown to really bother me, especially when those game try harder than most to really immerse a player in a world.

 

[fastballspecial]

It is a screenshot thread??! Nobody is saying anything about gameplay except people defending the graphics!

It's just so incredibly easy to cherry pick one screen of a landscape, specifically. That's what it seems most are dog piling on in this thread. I'm aware it's typical for a screenshot thread, but fuck.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

These pics are GREAT examples of what I am talking about

First look at all the LIT areas. Than look in the shadows

Clearly the textures and outdoor objects they set up look amazing in the light at certain angles. Must be blending the colors in a more appealing way to my eyes.

Once the light isnt there though..... gets uglier

That's probably going to be the case man. Otherwise it means they have removed all that lighting from the console version and that... I doubt. It's kind of similar to GTA 4,looked really bad, blurry, like a waterpaint effect during daytime in the game, but as soon as it would become afternoon the game was starting to look damn good.

Now these ones look nice. And there is nothing in them that the PS4/One cannot do. I do hope that this just does not have a day one patch, or is the PC version on medium with the DS4 plugged in.

But do you actually see PS4 button pprompts on PC too? Who even claimed that these are PS4 shots?

I'm sure the irony of this post is lost on you.

I was about to say, referencing gameplay in a Bethesda thread is not doing anyone's argument any favors.

 

[Jarmel]

This isn't true. Oblivion looked amazing back in the day.

 

[Revolutionary]

I'm sure it'll still be a great game and the poor textures, lack of shadows, etc. can (and will) be easily ignored while playing.


But this is why I always get Bethesda games on PC.

 

[lazygecko]

Still getting it on PS4, I think the pics look fine and I have faith that it'll look great in motion.

I don't think that gif is doing the argument any favors really. A character instantly being replaced by a bunch of gib models in the same primitive way it has been done since 90's polygon graphics. I don't expect Mortal Kombat X level fidelity gore in a game of this scale, but this looks significantly worse than the gore animations in Fallout 1 and 2 and that's one of the things I miss the most in the 3D iterations.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

One screen? There's like 6 screens in this thread getting ripped apart(rightfully so)

 

[Tubie]

This is Bethesda open world guys, you can't compare it to anything else.

These games have never been about graphics tho, so I don't get the outrage :/

 

[Alebrije]

I'm sure all your complaints about graphics will be addressed when Fallout 5 is released.


uh

Being ironical

 

[BouncyFrag]

Still getting it on PS4, I think the pics look fine and I have faith that it'll look great in motion.

Is there a video link for this?

 

[funkystudent]

Something about it kind of reminds me of the Half Life 2 Episode 2 era Source Engine. Maybe its the rural areas + lack of dynamic shadows and AO reminding me of that falt Source lighting.


I mean... Bethesda games where never lookers. Morrowind-Oblivion and Fallout 3 all looked behind the times when they came out. Skyrim looked more modern for its day but its issues where down to reusing assets left and right and more technical issues then the North Korean power system.

This looks like a slightly nicer version of the Skyrim tech used to make a fallout game.


Cant wait to see what the PC version looks like and what it takes to run it smoothly. Also what the XB1 looks like compared to this. Does it look worse or is it suspiciously identical?
