Fallout 4: PS4 Pro & PC High-Res support detailed
- Thread starter shinobi602

That's probably a mistake and supposed to refer to the game taking up 58GB in total with the texture pack applied as the current size of the game and all DLC is just under 35GB.

Eh, this is false. Fallout 4 runs fine especially if you turn down godrays and shadows a bit. These recommendations are on another level.

Last time I played was that island DLC, and everybody was having problems with performance on that island.
The game can run "fine" and still not be improved since launch. Bethesda games are the definition of "fine".
Still runs like shit compared to most other current gen games, especially considering the arbitrary 60fps cap because their programmers don't know what the hell they're doing with physics.

Enhanced textures are only for pc? Or pro too?

Stealth Vega launch?
Also, nice Pro update. How was the framerate on OG PS4? Is there room for improvement?

Seems PC only
The former. The PS4 Pro only has an extra gig of RAM (6GB in total for developers) while Bethesda is recommending 8GB VRAM for the pack.

VR version plox!
You know the Pro shouldn't be this fucking confusing for people.
I would assume it SS down the 1440 for 1080 users but who knows, been a couple games that don't.

Wonder if it'll ever see the light of day in Asia?
Their patch and mod support in this region is abysmal.

As someone that doesn't speak AMD language, can you clarify? I have a 1080.

Wonder how broken it will be on the Pro. Fallout 4 was already pretty broken on consoles.
Lol at that size it would have to be sharp as FUCK compared to the already sharp as fuck looking fanmade stuff that is only like few gigabytes. Also runs great on my 970 (relatively). Apparently this would tank my performance and take really fucking lot of space. I remember Skyrim's equivalent. Not optimistic about this.

Finally, grabbed it last sale but waited for this patch.
The 490 doesn't yet exist, but that doesn't appear to be a typo as the 480 trades blows with the 1060 rather than the 1080. I'd wager it's just Bethesda's way of saying "Comparable AMD GPU".

I'm sure a sizeable portion of that 58gb is a partition for all the future mod support.

Worried because Fallout 4s higher settings for godways are a performance hog with a barely noticeable visual improvement.
I would hope they would try make PS4 Pro performance better then base PS4.

The PS4 version has supported mods since mid-November.

Those are some big ass textures.
Really? missed the memo on that one. Time to turn on the Pro.
Alright. Thanks for clearing it up! Whenever I have to read AMD stuff I just see numbers and letters sometimes.
Why are you guys so suprised about the size of the texture pack? Textures are always a big part of the game size. The original textures are probably something like 15 GB without dlc. So no wonder the high res are quite a bit bigger.
Having said that, the texture pack will probably be badly optimized like the one for Skyrim was.

I'll stick to my modded textures thanks, they greatly enhance the visuals, cant imagine these will much more to justify spending like 1200 euro on PC upgrades.

I remember modders making better textures than the official ones in the past so they better be some damn good hi res textures for 58GB.

Considering the timing, I assume that this is a beneficial side effect of making the game ready for VR?
Let's hope that VR development will lead to support for 21:9 resolutions and frame rates over 60 frames per second as well ... I would like to play some more Fallout, but those two issues makes it too much of a hassle.

Providing an optional high-end feature for people who want it? I don't really see anything wrong with that.
I don't really think there's much of a relationship between this and VR development.
On the other hand, they most certainly will need to make the game work at 90 FPS for VR.
That was my first thought. Also i think that CPU is a 6 core 12 thread processor.
Hopefully those are the top specs for 4K and I can use the higher res textures on my 1440p monitor (with a core i7-6700K and a GTX 1070).

Fallout 4 is a HUGE game. Not surprised the pack is 58 gigs.
Throw me on the side of higher FPS over resolution for the Pro. Might be what gets me to get one.
