Fallout 4 Officially Revealed for PC, Xbox One, PS4 [Reddit Rumor = Ban]
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
There's 10 seconds of good looking footage in the trailer, starting with the trenchcoat dude.
So much of it is flat.

Oh ok, sorry. I just wish the whole game could look like that that first screen of Fallout 4 I saw.
This is the best I could do with the color contrasting. I really like the one where the deathclaw is.
Again, the engine those screens are coming off is what will make it unplayable.
ew plz no

Location and time period matters I would guess. Fallout New Vegas takes place 200 years after the war.
no one's "stopping the world from spinning"
people are complaining about something they have a right to complain about
I mean, by that point we might as well just get excited with a Fallout 4 logo and don't ask to see more
The visuals of the game is all we have.
We don't know if it is the definitive 3D platformer of our time yet.

I hope Bethesda can finally make a good game with this... I know that sounds sarcastic but it isn't.
And I'm not a graphics horse but it legit looks like a Fallout 3 texture mod. Good on them for not putting out some unrealistically gorgeous prerendered trailer, but it looks worse than most games even after they get their standard issue downgrade.

There's also this line
That plus the GMG wording...holy shit this is a 2015 game, isn't it

And the game being unplayable is a problem. I'm really only directing my comments to the "wow the dog looks ugly, this game is ruined 4ever" type posts.

Agreed, either last gen versions are coming or they got axed along the way. The graphics don't lie... it doesn't look current gen at all, pretty underwhelming really.

So, with women and gaming being a big deal these days, how pissed are people going to be that you can only play as a man?
What's the excuse? Voice acting= $$$, so budget cuts?

I never claimed such a thing.
In fact I pretty much said right away I'll get it despite my initial disappointment. Graphics are really underwhelming to me though.
You got 'em, man.

I'll admit that the game does it look as good as Unity(best looking open world) or even The Witcher 3, but it doesn't look THAT bad. It looks like a Next-Gen game to me

People have a right to complain about it. But I can't state that I'd be fine with an ugly looking game? And I can't state I'd be fine with PS360 level graphics?
I mean I played Dark Souls on a gaming laptop. So I couldn't run Ultra settings. I just find it hard to imagine being a person who would have said "wow this doesn't look the best, what a shit game."

i really like the whole look of it but why why why can´t they get rid of their stiffy animations and terrible human models. Makes me want to look away.
will play it regardless but i hate looking at the characters movements.

I can't believe people are still discussing the graphics. I think it looks great. Certainly better than any Bethesda game before it. I'm beginning to question whether some of you have ever actually played a Bethesda game or are just joining the Fallout 4 hype train. They don't push the limits, the textures are often awful, and the animations are usually stiff and full of jank.(some of this stuff is actually part of the charm to be honest)
I'm just satisfied the game exists and Fallout 4 is an automatic contender for GOTY before it even comes out.

This entire witch hunt is based off of some crappy leak. No reason they can't have VO for a female character as well.
People will be pissed. And I'll be disappointed I can't do my traditional second playthrough as a female melee/demolitions expert.

Here's the real question: is it VR compatible?
Look at the difference a little bit of clear sky makes to the atmosphere compared to Fallout 3.
You can't tell me you don't want to explore this game.
Oh, I very much do. Imagine that scene on your screen. The game will look great.

Only 4 months to promote and rack up preorders? That doesn't seem right.
you said "but then again I play games, not graphics" which sounds straight up smug / mocking those complaining about how it looks as if we were all graphic whores who dare not touch anything below a 4k texture
like, I play games too

What did you expect? Bethesda has never seen a real life human.

I was hoping to see something along the lines of The Division when it comes to graphical fidelity.
I wouldn't hold your breath for 30+ fps, much less locked 60.

Sorry, Im just going off the info from that leaker. I dont know if it's legit, just imaging what the backlash will be like.

I'm ok with the graphics, my concerns are about how stable is and how many bugs are we going to get on the game, plus I'd hate to see a different leveling system.

That's right. Has anyone considered that humans aren't a slinky. You are dealing with people that will talk to you and escort you where you need to be heading.
I think its getting to where you'll have fans and people who try it out, but you might not get everyone because its not grabbing everyone like they want.
Remember Uncharted 2's "It plays like a movie" and once in a while you'll find people just sticking their head in the door that may not actually like it, but they expect the hype train to solve all their entertainment needs.
IMO its going to come down to being a fan and getting something versus complaining to the 10th degree on not being 100% satisfied by a video game.
This game could have 10's and a GOTY edition some time later and someone could hate it because they weren't a fan or it wasn't making them feel euphoric.

I think that looks fantastic. I can't wait to see a sunset with a city skyline in the background.Look at the difference a little bit of clear sky makes to the atmosphere compared to Fallout 3.

Todd Howard did say their next game would have the shortest time between announcement and release. I think this is a 2015 easily.

or you can mod it back in, if asset diversity isn't your thing and you'd rather achieve a puerile vision of a post-nuclear stereotype, as though it were plucked fresh from the mind of Homer Simpson

That was posted 11 months ago, in July 2014.
Most of it is based off of this 2013 Kotaku article, with only a couple things changed, such as gender option, and the random DLC schedule plus Naughty Bear people spin-off: http://kotaku.com/leaked-documents-reveal-that-fallout-4-is-real-set-in-1481322956
Unless you have something better to back it up, keep it out of the thread please.
Quoting Nirolak for the folks concerned that it may be a male only PC. The casting calls were for men and women and the reddit link didn't reveal anything that Kotaku hadn't already. I'd be shocked if Bethesda were that dumb as their games have always appealed to both sexes.
