Yes, There are a whole lot of differences. Geometry is way better, buildings have a lot more detail, not to mention the fact that they are open no by all accounts which is pretty big for the series. Draw distance and LOD looks a lot better. It's pretty clearly a next gen game. Maybe not a huge graphical showcase, but it still looks good and big improvement over FO3/NV.

You've obviously forgotten what Fallout 3 looks like.
lol
I'll be so glad when everyone stops fellating The Witcher 3. Yes it's a pretty game, but it's also a completely different game from Fallout 4.

In terms of graphics? No, not at all. But I did wonder if they were sticking with Washington DC because a lot of the locales reminded me of the Capital Wasteland.
If anyone is interested , i made a new thread to discuss Fallout Lore and includes a link to a fantastic lore series on you tube .

Well it's a blown out wasteland so that limits variety somewhat, but I think this looks different. Especially with the colors.
I think the biggest area that'll look different is interiors and like cities / towns.

Who thinks it'll release this year? Personally, I'm betting on '16. Gotta build dat hype machine, I recon.
They don't need to build the hype machine. 18million+ trailer views in one week on only the official youtube channel? Those are Call of Duty numbers. The thirst is real, they can release it whenever they please and it will do crazy well.
So yeah, I definitely think it's a 2015 title.
All signs point to this year. Early marketing deals, 2015 TBA was on the Bethesda website. Retailers are firmly claiming 2015. It's already had 4 years developement. I say it's ready, Oct or Nov.

The game has actual lighting now. Amazing.
It's like looking at twins...
Get your eyes checked, champ. I see a whole bunch of lighting that didn't exist in Fallout 3 in those screenshots.

People are upset when trailers represent OMG graphics that games don't meet in the end.
People are upset when trailers represent the current state of graphics for games under development.
People People...come on.

found on reddit, quite possibly my fav E3 2015 gif so far.
Now that is something special. Love it.
Joking, there's a whole lot more than just lighting that's different.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just ignore those people, they just need something to complain about.
its no use, this is humanity in a nutshell.

Sure, it looks exactly like FO3:
That's even bigger of a jump than I remembered
Ahhh, my bad then. And yes, you're right there is a lot more. The lighting is definitely the thing that stands out the most to me though

Loving the new lighting. Imo, the lighting was always Fallout 3's biggest flaw and it wasn't much better in NV. Everything in FO3 was a gross murky vomit colour.
Any confirmation on whether or not they're using the same engine they used for Skyrim?

It's been the same engine for over a decade sweetie
if you created all the guitar sounds in this trailer. This is pretty awesome. and I'm not that big into metal.

Iirc, Creation has a bit of Gamebryo (FO3, NV and Oblivion's engine) in it, but Bethesda at least consider it a different engine.

It's basically Gamebryo with smaller parts being rewritten. Creation is just the branding. No different than when Frostbite 2 jumped to Frostbite 3. It doesn't mean anything. Just that they feel they updated enough to rebrand, but it is still the same engine especially with how blatant the characteristics of Gamebryo are.

Water is not wet!
i was thinking along the lines of. 4 looks so much better than 3/NV its not even funny.These twins maybe:
I know he's joking.

And if it's been changed enough to warrant rebranding then it can still be considered a different engine if you choose. Although, as far as I know Bethesda hasn't licensed Creation out yet, so maybe the changes really that major anyway.
Anyway, I've updated the wording of my question:
Does anybody know if they'll be using the particular edit of Gamebryo that they used for Skyrim (with minor updates made to take advantage of current gen consoles and new PCs) or will they be using a different edit of Gamebryo created for this game with, or are they using a completely different non-Gamebryo-based engine that wont share the same console and commonplace bugs as the last four games Bethesda released?
tl;dr - Will the word Creation or Gamebryo appear in the credits. Or will a completely different word not related to either one appear in the credits? Which was actually what I was wondering to begin with.
It's always nice to know when to expect deathclaws to fall out the sky.A

Sure, it looks exactly like FO3:
I hope this will shut people up. Cause clearly some are forgetting what 7th Gen games looked like.
PS4 and XB1 are an appreciable improvement over last generation.
Thanks man! Yeah I performed, recorded, and mixed this entire track.
I assume they will use the Gambryo renderer as usual.
Physics and what not will be the version of the engine they wrote themselves.

Ah, so I can (maybe) still expect Deathclaws falling from the sky.
It's my favorite bug and I have a tally of how many games Bethesda has released that still have it. If they're still using Creation/Gamebryo/Whatever, there's a (high) chance that they still wont have gotten rid of it.

If you want to follow branding, it will be Creation or an update of it, which is an update of Gamebryo itself. Who knows what branding they'll call it, but everyone will recognize the engine as we already have from the trailer.
I really can't wait to see some gameplay. I hope they buffed up VATS a ton and made shooting legs and arms and groins more viable and useful with different weapon types and enemy types. It would be nice if you saw an enemy with different armor types, even of the same armor, that cover different body parts actually affected damage. Tribals who wear big shoulder pads but no real torso coverage would be more vulnerable there. And tribals who wear big giant metal cod pieces would finally have a reason to do so other than looking badass.
They look totally fine to me. I am looking forward to this game more than just about anything else, and based on track record I know I'll have a better time, more fun, than just about any other game.
You enjoy a Bethesda game for its scale. The graphics aren't cutting edge, but, again, I really do think they look fine. I see a real noticable improvement from the last game -- And now we've got clearly better lighting and much more bold use of color.
Damn... that's pretty awesome
! Do you have an mp3 of that? Love to have that for a ringtone (and just to have).I dunno, that would kinda ruin the whole point of having to fix your equipment if you could just use anything you found lying around the area (especially as there is always junk everywhere).
I kinda liked having to keep spare guns around for repair to make sure I could keep my equipment working.
I would never put a 1 in charisma. I liked being able to talk my way outta things. I really don't see Charisma as being unimportant honestly, especially for how I wanted to play (I liked finding peaceful solutions unless one side was just obviously needed to die).
Exactly. It's also called I can always change my mind if they do announce something that is a deal breaker. But I have absolutely no reason to believe I'm not going to enjoy this Fallout. And I know it's going to have to be some drastic change that would make me not buy it. Something that it would shock me Bethesda was so stupid because they should know it was a deal breaker for people who like Fallout (like insisting you play one set character. Even then I'd be torn on whether to get over it and play anyways but it would upset me enough I'd have to think about it).
Also, the graphics are good enough. And I'll even admit even if they looked like Fallout 3 and New Vegas, I'd still play the game. Graphics aren't why I loved the game and they were even good enough then. All I really want out of a new Fallout is more places to explore, more quests to do, new stories even if they'll be mediocre, new NPCs to talk to, new dialogue to have, more exploration. Everything else is just gravy
.That's why I later posted they should balance it by making it so equipment and weapons repaired with junk would have reduced DT and DMG as well as resale value compared to ones repaired by merchants and with quality like materials. So while you could repair your stuff in a pinch out in the wastes it would still be worthwhile to use quality materials and employ merchants to repair your stuff to top quality. Unless you got a perk, later in the game that is, like Jury Rigging which removed such penalties for using junk items.
