Fallout 4 Officially Revealed for PC, Xbox One, PS4 [Reddit Rumor = Ban]

Is the helicopter flight from the populated area a hint that they have implemented appropriate streaming tech to combat the "walled of settlement" structure that was the bane of immersion in Fallout 3, New Vegas and Skyrim? Or maybe I am just seeing what I want to see ...

I'm thinking (hoping) yes. They used to have it like that back in Morrowind, they just had to change it due to console limitations (PS360). Since they're not doing cross-gen perhaps they were able to go back to that.
 
Looks awesome, though I hope this doesnt come out this Fall for 2 reasons:

1) Too many games are coming out that I want this fall
2) Give them more time to polish the game off if its early-mid 2016(fix the damn inevitable bugs. I dont want a repeat of the shit bugs in New Vegas. Fallout 3 had some bad bugs, but nothing as bad as new vegas)
 
I wish we could stop excusing them like this.
I mean this is a company that sold over 25 million copies of Skyrim and millions of their previous games. They have the budget to create those amazing visuals. Especially now when they have some actual competition from CD Projekt and next year Warhorse.


Indeed, when it comes to budget, they have just as much capability as R* . This is a really an abysmal showing of graphics and tech. The only standouts here are the city density and the new lighting. I can't believe they are still insisting with that garbage animation tech.

Totally agree.

CDPR just came along and blew everything Rockstar has done and everything Bethesda has done out of the water.

Aside from the fact that TW3 has sold enough to rival TES/Fallout (though obviously not GTA), they also offered a better gameworld, a bigger gameworld, a better story, a more interactive story, better combat gameplay, and better immersion. TW3 is the next level. If Fallout 4 comes even remotely close, I'll be a very happy camper. And frankly I think that's a tall order.

Wait. Really? How many copies did TW3 sold?
 
Amusing the shitstorm that CD Projekt gets if some in game leaves aren't quite as shiny in the end product as in trailers but Bethesda can keep shitting out incompetent Xbox 1 quality graphics (and awful animations to go along with it) and everyone keeps lapping it up


Heh

It's not the same people.

You will find that the people fine with Fallout are those who aren't complaining about Witcher either.

We are not petty.
 
This isn't a new IP, a new developer, unknown talent.

This a proven, successful developer and series. No doubt this game will be great.

I don't know how you can't get that.

Look what Bungie did to Destiny; that's why. I already said I'm getting this day one but I'm not going to pretend there isn't a chance this will be flawed when we haven't seen any gameplay whatsoever.
 
Wow, seems like there's a lot of negativity for the game in this thread already...What's it like to not get excited about anything? I thought the trailer was really awesome. It looks WAY more colorful than both Skyrim and Fallout 3 and the short bit of animations we saw (from the ghouls) look like they're miles ahead of anything Bethesda has done before.

It looks like a fallout 3 remaster, a fallout 3 with better textures, lights, material etc...

Maybe too bright and colored for me, i loved the dark, lifeless and grim atmosphere of fallout 3.

Well it's fallout 4! A potential reason to buy a PS4 :) (or to play on my notebook if fo4 can run on it)

Some of you must be taking the piss, the graphics are fine.
Yep. I'm really loving the art direction. I'll take that over putting in all your effort towards obtaining photorealism. We've seen what that gets you lately.

I'm curious what the world size will be like and in what ways they'll change the missions layout.

The fact that you typed this out suggests you can read as well...strange...

I'm actually hoping this game comes out next summer so I can dedicate a lot of time to this game. Fall/Winter release would mean I'd have to make concessions with other games coming out...especially P5.

The art direction looks a lot better than Fallout 3.

Truth. It has color!

What? Did I miss something? I thought it was announced for current gen only.

That is exactly why I draw a comparison between F4 and BO3.

BO3 has been announced without a word about last gen versions, but shinobi with his insider knowledge has said that is cross-gen.

So I'm just not ruling out F4 being cross-gen yet.
 
Looks good. This clearly was the worst kept secret in games right now. I guess it's a pipe dream to hope that this is coming out in 2015
 
My favorite part of the trailer was showing the pre-war world/people etc

You could see that it was real engine footage and not CG or anything, so it would be really cool if you get to spend time in that era (either mission based, like darkness 2 flashbacks, or just linear story wise)
 
Why the hell didn't they just CG some shots and a trailer that look way better than the game we will eventually get : (

Its better this way

Show the actual game AS IS and get it over with early

Still looks good enough and now we can get the graphics whining out of our system way early

Looks good though. It's Bethesda so the trademark jank is there, but the graphics are holding their own so far. It's not top tier but it at least looks like a 2016 (or whenever it comes out) game.
