I'm on mobile so not sure if this is accurate but is this a pretty decent step up from the PS4 shots? It appears that way to me.
That said you can still see the main issues with the engine but they look a good bit better no?

A game looking like that is fine since I'll run at 60fps easily at PC. Consoles on the other hand looking worse and not even running at 60fps despite looking the way it does is a bit disappointing. Well thankfully I'll be getting the PC version, gotta get my new Vid Card though.

From what I can tell the most noticable difference from PS4 is the draw distance particularly as it pertains to shadows.

Yea, in about the general ways you would expect from a PC version.

Have same specs as you, also curious. I'll be happy at locked 30 tbh, with the recommended intel not holding my breath for anything better.

Looks pretty good to me. I'm glad they got around to making this game more colorful than the last two, really makes things pop and just overall look more appealing..well, as appealing as a post-nuclear war setting can look.

This is all "in theory". But, if in theory the choice is to spend millions more to make the game prettier, or spend those millions on making the game better in some way, I'm all for a dev choosing the latter. Shit, I'm okay with a dev saying they're not going to do either, just going to make the game development cheaper. And this is from a crazy person who owns a Titan X.

I think that it comes from Hollywood after digital color grading started getting popular. After that point, the movie watching public got fooled into thinking that certain topics are supposed to be associated with certain colors. A blue sky works against that, so the movies (and the games influenced by them) don't have one.

If you didn't know what Fallout was, Fallout4 looks visually mediocre for a video game released in 2015.
Im sure it will be an awesome game. I hear these are best on PC, like Skyrim.

No way they weren't aware of the red rocket south park thing.
You know why. I couldn't find a non-bannable pic to put in here.

Its so weird seeing a Fallout with blue skies. I like it though!
Definitely eating some crow too. PS4 version looks fantastic. The PC ultra looks better.

Eh... I don't know, visually this just isn't doing much for me. Even beyond the technical shortcomings of the visuals, I think its the setting that isn't really cutting it for me.
This seems to have the same problem as I had with Fallout 3 where the wasteland just seems super generic without much identifiable geography and I say this as somebody who's from the Northeast/New England. New Vegas just felt great since the Wasteland had its own geographic identity of being in the southwest. Whereas like in Fallout 3, the Capital Wasteland outside of DC itself was just some generic landscape and this seems to be kind of more of the same.

Bad FOVs and Jpegs. Yup, thats a Fallout 4 screenshot.
I'd be shocked if it wasn't 60 considering the min and recommended specs.
But they have various departments working on the game. It's not like the guys working on making the thing look pretty aren't working throughout the duration of development.
Why not? And don't list your love of Sony as the reason.
Is that what you got from this?

Geezus, this is so trite already.
Especially considering your Final Fantasy X - 4K > 1080P post in the emulator thread.

.....before digital color grading people used to do it by hand. Well, chemicals. It was always a thing.
Its not fooled, it works. If you want to use a blue sky sure, but you best show some other way, aesthetic wise that it's set in a post apocalyptic setting.

This is one game where I wish I had a sick PC setup, like a SICK one, so I could max the game out and spend 200 hours in my room engrossed
I think most people play Fallout for the complete experience - which includes the graphics.

Yeah I understand the broad ideas your talking about but in my personal opinion I would think making the game look "prettier" also means the game would be "better."

The consoles version are fine. There's a png PS4 thread that got locked on gaf.
Sure, people don't care about graphics in Fallout games.
That's why don't have any graphical enhancement mods on nexus, right? People just don't give a damn about them.
I might get some shit for this, but the "step up" from the console doesn't seem as dramatic as I thought it would be. Specifically these two shots:

Playing in this vibrant world in 60FPS is definitely going to be the reason to get this on PC at some point, but I think I'm ok keeping my PS4 pre-order.

What are you meaning exactly? They chose for it to look this bad? They're incompetent? Or, this is what they could do with the time allotted? Which of those three seems the most likely?
I'd go with three with possibly a side of two, but who knows.
I agree, for sure. Like I said, I own a Titan X. So, obviously I'm a fucking idiot for pretties. But, there is a part of me that is sympathetic to the companies when it comes to the constant one-upping that is expected of them.
It's the only thing left from the series, the aesthetic.
I'm saying the talk of them choosing one or the other (graphics or gameplay) seems to ignore some pretty obvious facts. Sure, they can hire more staff that specialize in things like level design, AI, game mechanics, etc. but it's not so easy as just saying, "Let's spend money on gameplay instead of graphics."
Every individual has their own standard. These message boards (and life in general) would be pretty uneventful if that were not the case.

Looks like an improvement over the PS4 screens but hopefully can still be improved through .ini tweaks or forced in driver settings. Shadows are still lacking and needs AO badly.
