Chocolate Mountain...still getting day 1

 

[bobawesome]

Still looks good to me.

 

[Boke1879]

It's like no one in this thread has played a Bethesda game before. My god the vanity.

Yea I'm out. Is this really going to ruin people's enjoyment of a Bethesda game?

 

[etta]

LOL. This is terrible. Not even better looking than Fallout 3/Vegas running on PC.

No.

 

[Ratrat]

Is this 60fps or is there some other reason it looks comparable if not worse than AC4 and MGSV?

 

[daammyy]

feels like i should be able to play this game on tweaked medium settings with my gtx 580 card

 

[FATALITY]

Seeing those screenshots I wonder how cut down will Kingdom Come have to become to run on consoles

bethesda is an incompetent company. we already have huge open world games on ps4
the witcher, mgsv. and they dont look like that

 

[dex3108]

One of the major issues with the PS4 screens is that they've desaturated the screen capture so much.

Here you can see difference a bit better

[SictorVullivan]

The hyperbole in this thread. Holy shit.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Other images are okay I guess but the last one with the landscape is pretty bad. Meh I will hold most judgement till it's running on my rig, will be playing day 0. The character models though are straight up a way better improvement and better than I'd expect from Bethesda because even Skyrim was horrid with character models.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Superficial about what, this is not a person, it's a game you may want to purchase or not based on any reason you prescribe. There are standards for graphics in 2015....

Yet people want to blame the hardware, I hope this is running at 120fps....

I commented on "standards" for graphics in a later post if that interests you.

 

[GeoramA]

Looks as expected. Just hope it runs better on consoles this time.

 

[mujun]

Plenty of games look better.

Not a single one of them offers what this game does.

 

[Durante]

A bit disappointing.

I guarantee the the gamma settings are completely borked in these shots though (gone crazy with the brightness slider perhaps?), making it look MUCH worse.

The dogs shadow is a milky grey for example. I wouldnt use these to judge how it will look on your TV.

I agree that the gamma is broken on these shots, but that won't change the abysmal draw distance, or LOD, or shadowing.

Are we sure we're not being trolled by the 7th and 8th pictures? I feel like someone added a couple fallout 3 pictures just to mess with us.

That would actually be some next level trolling!

No.

It's actually significantly worse draw distance/lod wise on the landscape shots.

 

[Kalor]

That looks good. It's a step up from the previous games.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

CDPR should do all the tech work for Bethesda. This is not a looker at all.

 

[Nzyme32]

Is this 60fps or is there some other reason it looks comparable if not worse than AC4 and MGSV?

1080p 30fps on both consoles apparently. Some are saying this was a cross-gen game originally, others are blaming the engine they are using. No idea

 

[eldudebro]

Fallout games were never lookers, I don't know why people are surprised it doesn't look impressive technically.

 

[SnowFlakeCake]

That is one fucking ugly game, my goodness. For people into games like this, there seems to be no reason at all to buy this game day 1. That includes PC gamers, mods are what made Skyrim bearable and mods of note won't get cranked out within a week. I've only played Skyrim and it was decent at best but as someone like that will play the game on PS4, I'll try it this time next year.

I'd love to know whom in Bethesda has decided to stick with the same shitty engine year after year after year. At this point it's gotta be the developers that are probably too comfortable with the engine and can't be fucked to move to another. I SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY doubt Bethesda are not giving Howard whatever budget he wants, this will be a game that will sell 10 million by years end. Just so shit looking, it's hilarious to think that this is basically the only AAA game which comes to mind where the community basically accept that the mod community will fix it over time.

 

[Summer Haze]

Is that the final HUD? Please tell me it isn't...

 

[Denton]

It's like no one in this thread has played a Bethesda game before. My god the vanity.

1) Oblivion, Skyrim and Morrowind were all fairly impressive when they came out, even if Oblivion in particular was cut down from prerelease marketing

2) Asking for higher standards from the most financially successful RPG development studio in history is logical and A Good Thing

 

[BokehKing]

And yet one of the best games on the PS4. Graphics don't make a game.

See, The Order for evidence.

Or halo 5, looks ugly and washed out but plays like a dream

 

[Recall]

I still don't care about visuals in games so there is nothing here for I to get hung up over.

 

[Zemm]

good god that's ugly. Looks about as bad as I expected.

 

[Tambini]

At first I thought 'doesnt look that bad' but then just compare it to other open world games this gen..

 

[Summer Haze]

That is one fucking ugly game, my goodness. For people into games like this, there seems to be no reason at all to buy this game day 1.

Yeah, I mean, other than to play and enjoy it...

 

[bomblord1]

How far can you modify an engine before it's not considered the original engine any longer?

 

[Denton]

Can someone translate what is actually at the bottom of the screen, inventory function wise:

I don't know but that must the the ugliest fucking interface I have ever seen, Bethesda is outdoing themselves here. Everything right down to the choice of font looks ugly as sin.

 

[RK9039]

LOL it looks terrible.

So glad I got this on PC, almost bought the PS4 version.

 

[Jax Teller]

bethesda is an incompetent company. we already have huge open world games on ps4
the witcher, mgsv. and they dont look like that

We've reached epic levels of stupid now. I'm out too. Can't wait for this game to come out.

 

[jacobeid]

But how does it run?

 

[SpiceMelange]

That last pic look so crossgen, no way this wasn't developed with 360/ps3 support in mind at least initially then dropped.

 

[cheststrongwell]

I wish it looked better, but I can't wait to explore the wasteland again.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Fallout games were never lookers, I don't know why people are surprised it doesn't look impressive technically.

Yeah, I'm wondering if I somehow stepped into an alternate universe where Fallout games weren't ugly as fuck on every platform.

Nobody is acting surprised, rather disappointed and mad about the fact that Bethesda didn't change anything in that regard.

Also, Oblivion looked great when it launched.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Hell, GTA5 which was a last-gen game, looks a generation ahead of this.

Nobody is acting surprised, rather disappointed and mad about the fact that Bethesda didn't change anything in that regard.

Pretty much. I know I will enjoy it. And with how it looks, it better be super locked at 30, silky smooth.

 

[Kolx]

I'm ok with the graphics but how is this game only 30fps on PS4? Bethesda engine and optimization are a joke. They need to get their shit together.

 

[DR2K]

I'd be ok if it were 60fps. But even if it looks like butt, the art still looks ok.

 

[SmokedMeat]

[Jobbs]

LOL. This is terrible. Not even better looking than Fallout 3/Vegas running on PC.

Some of you guys don't seem to be able to understand what you're looking at. New Vegas doesn't even look close to FO4.

 

[Dictator93]

How far can you modify an engine before it's not considered the original engine any longer?

Source is a branch of GoldSrc which is a branch of idtech 1.

I would consider Source pretty darn different in a lot of ways from idtech 1... but surprisingly similar in others (hammer editor and the way lighting is done).

 

[Servbot #42]

Yeah this looks rough, it's still gonna sell millions and get a 90+ metacritic score but man it looks rough. I think this is one the times where kinda i regret having a PS4 instead of a high end PC.

 

[Whompa02]

LOL it looks terrible.

So glad I got this on PC, almost bought the PS4 version.

I can promise you it wont look exponentially better on PC.

 

[Bliddo]

Looks awful, but the UI looks like dogshit. Straight from the 80s.
Can't wait for the game, but good grief...

 

[GHG]

Seeing those screenshots I wonder how cut down will Kingdom Come have to become to run on consoles

It will still look good no doubt. The Cryengine scales well.

I have to say these screens do not look great. Pardon me for being "superficial" in a screenshot thread.

Bethesda really needed to build a brand new engine for this generation. If not, then at least licence an engine ready made for this generation FFS.

How people are satisfied with this and are defending this I really don't know. It doesn't even run at 60fps.

 

[lazygecko]

Fallout games were never lookers, I don't know why people are surprised it doesn't look impressive technically.

For being 97-98 2D RPGs, they looked pretty nice at the time with well animated characters. They've certainly aged a lot more gracefully than the 3D Fallouts. Same with Fallout Tactics from 2001 which used the same 2D style but with higher resolution art and better lighting effecs and such.

 

[gai_shain]

Haha nah, I'll skim the reviews for scores to stick in peoples faces (like those two, maybe you as well) then save the game for myself on the 11th.

oh boy

 

[Fractal]

Aye, that's ugly... but then again, F3 and NV weren't exactly lookers in their time either. In any case, I believe a PC version and some good mods will produce a serviceable result.

 

[FATALITY]

We've reached epic levels of stupid now. I'm out too. Can't wait for this game to come out.

stupidity?
this is not a indie game.
this i s a company that made billions of dollars from their other games.
in my book thats incompetence or exploitation.

 

[Kolx]

I can promise you it wont look exponentially better on PC.

With mods it probably will. It will take time tho for them to come out.

 

[Recall]

So how many here have actually played the game at hand?
