Support NeoGAF

[Fantastapotamus]

Despite crafting shit invading this game I'm still excited for it and Todd Howard sure knows how to present a game.

 

[Phatmac]

SUCK IT GAF THIS GAME LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!!!

 

[valeo]

I didn't even like Fallout 3 and I think that was a terrific presentation.

 

[Robaperas]

Yes! Yes! This year!

 

[megalowho]

A "play it tonight" announcement and Fallout 4 in November? Well played, Bethesda.

 

[danm999]

Crafting looks neat, and it's coming this year!

 

[Chuck]

JEFF

WAS

WRONG

 

[Glitchesarecool]

yo amiibo support

 

[Incandenza]

Oh god dammit

 

[ScaryShark]

"I CANT WAIT TO SELL THESE IMMEDIATELY ON EBAY"

 

[valeo]

The features look amazing. It's just that the graphics are muddy and gross, and the voice acting, animation, and story look like the usual Bethesda garbage.

What's the release date for the Obsidian DLC?

Why is it surprising that a Bethesda game looks like a Bethesda game? Cmon man.

 

[stump sock]

JEFF

WAS

WRONG

he called the pip boy thing though, so

 

[grandjedi6]

Broke out laughing at Jeff's "Amiibos?!"

 

[TheAbsolution]

Ah yes the give away free shit to garner applause lol.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

WE GOTTA GET IN ON THIS AMIIBO BUSINESS

 

[Archaix]

It started to be pretty obvious once they were showing a crazy amount of content from all sorts of different areas and game systems, but until the presentation I really didn't think Fallout 4 would be this year. Good on them for keeping it quiet until it matters.

 

[Mister Negative]

What was great about this was that the presenters weren't garbage.

 

[traveler]

Provides options.

GAF bitches about options.

Come on guys. Everything is optional and they added depth.

I have yet to play a single Bethesda game where the base gameplay loop was actually worthwhile. Crap combat with shallow, non-essential character building on top of incredibly janky engines. Fallout 4 could have more content and options than any other game in existence, the best story ever told, and, hell, could even be setting the bar in visuals, and it would still be a mediocre to bad game if they can't fix the fundamentals.

It's nice to hear Todd say they focused on getting combat right this time around, but I'll believe it when I play it at this point. Rockstar said the same thing about GTAV and failed again; it's clear these open world focused studios just have different priorities and I don't really like applauding those.

 

[Zoggy]

if fallout is 11/10, then COD has to go 11/03 right?

 

[RepairmanJack]

Man, I really hope they make that room a little less bright the next couple days.

 

[a secret-boss]

good thing they started with doom and battlecry

 

[Rhaknar]

Amiibo and no Bathesda game is on WiiU

Lolwhut?

 

[rObit]

Yeah they hit that out of the park for a first press conference.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Combat, artstyle, and building stuff seems great.

Dialogue, four ME-style options, and way too much crafting is making me incredibly wary.



Doom wasn't the disaster I was expecting, but there were a lot of things that stood out to me that weren't great.


Dishonored will be great, but I wanted to see gameplay.

 

[Lijik]

im really impressed how solid that conference was. Pretty well put together. Maybe im just too used to general e3 wahjah

Broke out laughing at Jeff's "Amiibos?!"

same haha

 

[outunderthestars]

I need that limited edition

 

[Santiako]

Amiibo and no Bathesda game is on WiiU

Lolwhut?

*not actually amiibo

 

[Xeteh]

he called the pip boy thing though, so

Even he seemed like he couldn't believe it. That was hilarious.

So yeah, I started playing F3/NV and never got in to them but this game looks awesome. I wanted a game where a shooter is a shooter and hopefully this is that. Looking forward to it.

 

[Pops Maellard]

That was amazing. First conference I've ever just watched the entirety of without getting bored and reading GAF at the same time.

WHERE IS FALLOUT SHELTER.

 

[Mister Negative]

Yeah they hit that out of the park for a first press conference.

Well, it's easy to when you're getting up there knowing that you can just show your fallout stuff and be like "here ya go ya filthy animals"

 

[ScaryShark]

I need that limited edition

It's going to sell out in like 13 seconds.

 

[Volotaire]

Fallout 4 looks incredible. I was a skeptic.

 

[ScottSullivan]

That might have been the best e3 presser ever in quality of content and all of that

 

[Snarfington]

The problem they had was that outside of Fallout they didn't have a whole load of exciting stuff to show off, it was all "oh yeah okay cool" (and I say that as someone who is excited for Doom). But man, they had a lot of Fallout and it was good stuff.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Combat, artstyle, and building stuff seems great.

Dialogue, four ME-style options, and way too much crafting is making me incredibly wary.

Yeah this is how I feel. The combat and gameplay stuff looks like a huge improvement...writing wise I expect pretty much nothing

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Combat, artstyle, and building stuff seems great.

Buy the 'Scrap Metal' package for only $4.99 to get 1000 scrap metal!

 

[Phatmac]

The dialogue options is my only real worry it seems limited when compared to other Fallout games.

 

[Mister Negative]

Guys I JUST bought this war of mine and now im just gonna be playing this war of mine: happy edition

 

[Brawndo Addict]

I look forward to seeing all the crazy and creative stuff that people come up with for crafting/mods. The zeitgeist around Fallout/Elder Scrolls for that kinda stuff is great.

 

[a secret-boss]

bethesda blog down lol

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Eh, looked okay. I don't think these games are for me anymore.

 

[shadyspace]

Dishonored will be great, but I wanted to see gameplay.

The voiced MC with a narrative of his/her own really made this feel like not Fallout.

 

[Santiako]

The dialog being a Mass Effect style 4 choice thing is extremely dissapointing, everything else looks ace.

 

[HotHamWater]

Time to rewind the GB stream on YouTube and re-watch with commentary!

 

[Myggen]

The dialogue options is my only real worry it seems limited when compared to other Fallout games.

Yeah, agree with you there.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Nothing here looked remotely interesting, but then again I thought FO3 was super boring, so I guess its good to know that 4 isn't gonna change my mind.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

New Vegas triumphed in creating a believable world where there was no black and white where every action you took and every quest you went on played into that. This presentation feels like "look at all the awesome crazy shit we're doing bros!" I don't think that's a bad approach, it's just not what I want from a Fallout game. In fact things like "look at all the sick settlements you can build!" actively take away from the strife of living in a post apocalyptic world.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Doom looked kinda boring.
Battlecry...what
Elder Scrolls Online...who?
Legends of Tamriel....why?
Dishonored 2: YES
Fallout 4: YES

Good show.
And Todd Howard really did one hell of a job to present the Fallout stuff. Very likeable.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Pretty good show especially for a publisher show and their first crack at it.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Like, I could have dealt with another Fallout game with Bethesda quality writing. I would have been the big dumb nerd complaining about it for years, but I would have dealt with it.


The dialogue system actually made me think, "I might not ever play this game."
