It's been 5. What?
Be careful. I got called delusional for saying that yesterday.
I'M NOT A MAD MAN I'M JUST LIVING IN A MAD WORLD.
Or there isn't one and it's just a placeholder. Everybody keeps forgetting that that list also had "Playstation" and "Xbox" on it as platforms. So unless we're jumping back 3 gens...Dishonored 2 is the cross-gen game

One of my biggest complaints about Bethesda games has been environment repetition, the subway in Fallout 3 and the dungeons in Skyrim being the biggest offenders. With more RAM in current gen consoles, not only can developers make BIGGER worlds (probably the most notable advantage of not being cross gen) but they can create more diverse worlds since they have room for more textures and assets.
I agree with you. Just going to miss the great aspects of NV in this. The characters, the writing, wild wasteland...man I'm bumming myself out but I'll still play the fuck out of it.
fallout4.com is up, #pleasestandby and everything else? No way it's Brink2
If this comes out in 2015 I will cry tears of joy while simultaneously shitting my pants from hype.

I should probably upgrade to 256MB of RAM to be on the safe side.
They'll have to potentially waste resources like SoM did to make that crappy held back last-gen port which further holds back the current-gen port. That's the problem.Even then, they were still able to implement that into the current-gen versions, while still releasing the game for last-gen as well. If Bethesda had some revolutionary new gameplay mechanics, what would stop them from doing the same?
It ain't that crazy. The game has been in development for years, and IIRC, Todd Howard or someone similar said their next game announcement would be the shortest announce -> release window they'd ever done.
768MB or bust bro.
That's because it's a cross gen game. I bought a PS2 thinking developers would take full advantage of the new hardware but nope, companies like Bethesda are just going to keep releasing games on the original Playstation as well.

The main difference is that porting from PC to console is making a worse/weaker version from a higher quality starting point.
Developing with cross Gen in mind from the start means you get two nerfed products, with one running at a slightly higher resolution on PC.

Wow, the one company where I was so happy that they'd be free of last-gen constraints so that they could totally revamp their shitty engine and tech work and remove the jank. Fallout 3, NV and Skyrim were the top games last gen where my love of the game design clashed with my hatred of the technical execution of said design and limitations that the consoles placed on said design. Might just happen all over again now if they're balancing everything for last-gen consoles too.
Argh, fuck off. This is so disappointing.
You guys really want this, huh? No disrespect to Fallout, but all I care for from Bethesda is a Dishonored sequel.
Not very I'd guess. They'd wanna have a big announcement-to-release window to grab all the hype and attention they can (and since this game is massive and a super huge deal, especially when you consider the fact that they've been working on this for like 5 years, marketing becomes a huge deal. Skyrim had a year wait. I'd say Q1-Q2 2016 for this beast.How likely is this a 2015 release? I would shit my pants.
Time to order a Geforce 6800 Ultra I guess.
We have no confirmation of it either being cross gen or current gen. Can we hold off and getting disappointed and angry when we don't even know the full details?

Fallout 4? YES!
Crossgen?
