I don't want any sort of mounts or vehicles. Creation sucks with them first, and I don't like them in lore.
I wouldn't mind vehicles as long as they're rare. Maybe there could be a quest to build one? Like in Fallout 2.
What a shame all games are in the US...

At least a run button then! Much as I love wandering the war-blasted landscapes, I wouldn't mind doing it a little quicker.

Sprinting was in Skyrim.

I know, hopefully it will transfer across... along with dual-wielding!
Between the parks, Canaveral, and the coastal area, it would make for an excellent setting, imo.

That would be great! Mutant sea turtles
Oooh, Cuba would be great considering the missile crisis was one of the closest times we got to actually living in Fallout's world. Chalk one more up for Florida!

While i would love to find out how the rest of the world is doing in the Falloutverse it would require a deft touch to make another nations setting work. Fallout is tied heavily to 50s Americana. Its the main reason why the setting is unique. Probably the best way to do it is by taking the US locations closer and closer to the border of other countries so there can be an in-game contrast between say the Neverglade Wasteland and Cuba or the Mojave and the Sonoran,

This is an AMAZING idea and I would buy any game that did that. Only for the theme park aspect. A good amaount of dungeons and missions on a postapocalyptic theme park resort? Sign me in!
Im european, but taking the 50's americana vibe to the game by putting it in another country would make the surrounding theming around Fallout more harm than good.

The scaling would be troublesome, but I still say San Diego/Tijuana would be great.

Bethesda already makes their maps like theme parks, so having Disney and Universal to work with would be the easiest thing for them.

God, I can not wait for E3. Going to be huge this year, or so I hope. But yeah, can't wait to see some Fallout 4 gameplay.

If the scale was something like Fallen Earth it could easily be done. Would most likely need a completely new engine with the scope in mind though.
im confident that we will see a trailer in the mold of all the other Bethesda published games (Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim trailers all follow same beats) and once that happens the graphics "issues" will fall by the wayside. In hindsight im pretty sure Bethesda would have preferred to call this a teaser. Maybe theres not another trailer coming but i doubt it.
I was just watching some Fallout 3 and NV gameplay just wandering around the wasteland and my hype meters are through the roof. VATS + exploding heads will be glorious.
I wonder how many different weapons there will be. The selection is usually really high. I have no doubt that it'll be much higher this time.

With all of the invasive species currently in Florida, mutant versions wuld be awesome. Making the wildlife a bigger priority in regards to survival would be awesome.

That would be incredible. Add some lightning in there too.
Probably the "Nuka Engine".
Man, I wonder if Gamebryo will stick around into the 2020's...hopefully idTech6 is really nice and they use it sometime.

I hope they do some of the things that was done in New Vegas. Like Hardcore Mode.
If not there will be mods for sure. I can't play NV without that. It gives meaning to all of that food or water you get.
Oooh.... I like that... I like that a lot...
You can try this. It's a step by step guide to installing mods and uses most (if not all) of the popular mods.
Is this you first time playing New Vegas? If so, I would really recommend you just stick to the bugfixes (like YUP's Unofficial Patch), a new UI (DarnUI or MTUI) and maybe the texture packs (like Vurt's floral overhaul, NMC's Texture Pack)
You can also find the mods on Nexus Mods (site is undergoing maintenance at the moment so I can't link it...).
Are you familiar with modding? The first link I gave you does explain it somewhat and has useful links like to Gopher's modding tutorials on Youtube.

It will be embraced by future gaming hipsters.
Way to be rude.
You have't even seen live gameplay to really make those assumptions. Relax there.

Tons of people in this thread forgetting that Fallout 4 will take place over 200 YEARS after the bombs fell.
Should we expect animations to not be shit in the demo? Why, a launch trailer is them putting their best foot forward but the animation was still poor.
How times have changed
Ignorance is bliss
Yep.
Open world RPGs in my experience have never had the best animations, so perhaps I've had my expectations in check.

Expectations and standards change over time. That's a good thing.
Wait, this thread was finally getting interesting and now we're back to arguing graphics *again*? Really? 100 something pages wasn't enough?
If you don't like the graphics, we get it by now. Now get over it and move on. It is what it is at this point. I doubt Bethesda is going to go and redo it all to make it that much better. Fallout was never a series known for it's good graphics anyway. And saying it looks the same as Fallout 3 is hyperbole and if you truly believe that, you either forgot what Fallout 3 looks like or played it modded so long you forgot what it looked like without mods. It looks better than 3 or Vegas and really, that is good enough. The graphics was never what made Fallout special (on any of the games). Hell, I'm pretty sure they were bitching about the graphics on 3 back when it was introduced.
Now, to actually start discussing something else, some one on reddit was saying they were not excited cause they figured they were going to use Skyrim's levelling system on the next Fallout. Weird thing to me is that while I liked Skyrim's levelling system and was fine with it in Skyrim, I really wouldn't like it in Fallout and would be very disappointed if they truly did that with the system. It just seems to me allotting the points to what your character is good at is kinda essential to the Fallout experience (vs. just trying to use a skill if you want it to improve).
Yeah, I am of the Vegas > 3 camp but what I really liked about 3 was that really wasted feel. I'm a little wary that there seems to be a bigger town that seems more civilized this time around. yeah, it's been a long time, but I liked the whole humanity is just hanging on feel of Fallout and I'm willing to suspend disbelief that they still haven't managed to get sh** together even that far after the bombs hit to get that feeling.

I would be really bummed if this is true. Fallout without S.P.E.C.I.A.L is just not fallout to me anymore but rather... skyrim with guns.
Another thing I am personally really worried about is the potential exlusion of Hardcore Mode. HM made New Vegas so much more fun for me and I just can't go back to Regular anymore when playing Fallout.
But we haven't heard anything on that front yet so I remain optimistic.
I would really love it if they put hardcore mode in. It almost feels like it is an essential must (and really it would be nice if they kept some other aspects of Vegas too to be honest and I'm not even talking writing/story/characterization cause I don't have hope for that).
But, I hate to say it but I'll be more pleasantly surprised if it is in 4 than expecting it
. I will say when I tried to play 3 again I was sorely missing hardcore mode.
That is a fair position to take. I just personally find the animation very noticeable and off-putting.
Its 200 years later and we arent even sure a bomb was dropped on Boston.

Yeah, it really seems essential to the Fallout experience to me as well.
I mean, I can understand if someone thinks it's just some tedious meter-filling nonsense, and wants to play without arbitrary restrictions.
But to me it's like the perfect gameplay mechanic that really drives home the feeling of post-apocalyptic wasteland. I would even extent it in some way or another and make supplies even more scarce. It forces you to make tough choices that fit with the setting.
"Sorry buddy, I'm a good guy at heart, trying to save the wasteland and stuff. But I'm kind of starving right now and your Gecko Steak there looks delicious.
Sooo...I'm going to kill you now and eat it. And maybe I'll eat you too.
Again, I'm really sorry, don't judge me please, just trying to survive."

There is finite processing power available. The graphics may not be the cutting edge some people want, but the power is probably used to flesh out the world more. Possibly bigger/more locations with bigger/more enemies to deal with.
People loved previous games even though they weren't the prettiest things ever created. The experience is what matters, not graphical fidelity.
Personally, I can't wait to play this game for several hundred hours.
It seems to me that people's expectations won't realistically be met until we get the PS6.

I just hope everything is open, no loading between entering huts/homes/buildings etc, just 1 seamless world.
BouncyFrag

I hope we get a broad range of places we can have as homes.
Not even then. You'll notice that many of the people upset with the graphics are pc gamers. It's unlikely even the ps6 will be matching what pcs do at the time of its release. So to pc gamers most of what comes out on consoles will look like crap comparatively to what they are used to. Basically, it will never end until consoles die off or change in some drastic fashion.

I think what Bethesda needs to show us is that the game plays well and that it improves over previous titles. It's never really been graphics versus gameplay - that is a false dichotomy. Developers don't go into development with that in mind. Yes, you might not be able to implement advanced physics and still have top notch graphics but the entirety of the matter isn't so clean cut. At any rate, just wow us with what we can do in game enough that people don't care how ugly it is or isn't. Fail to do that and suddenly the graphics will matter far more than expected.
I don't think we have any idea where the bombs were dropped. At least, looking at the Great War on the Fallout Wiki.
The great war is a pretty interesting read (has the accuracy been verified?): we don't know who fired first, it lasted roughly 2 hours, we don't know the extent of the damage (some cities like Washington D.C. weren't totally destroyed because apparently the bombs were low yield or something), and New Vegas was spared thanks to Mr. House's quick thinking (he knew the war was coming so he had point-defense laser canons on the top of buildings and when the missiles were coming he used computers to brute force them with disarm codes).
For all we know, Boston could be like New Vegas - someone knew what was coming and set up the proper defenses or it wasn't targeted or something. We can only speculate until the game comes out.
They did have MIT/The Institute after all, so it's not too far fetched to think that a defense system had been developed there. That could also account for their advanced state of recovery.

It appears, at first blush, that Boston is recovering from the war and beginning to rebuild itself.
