I can only guess that my expectations weren't anywhere close to many others here. I thought the trailer looked damn good and I'm beyond excited to know I'll finally be able to play this game (hopefully) soon!!
 
Gamebryo isn't a issue because of the visuals. You don't play Fallout because of the visuals. It's an issue because of the bugs.

Please let this be the first moderns FO title that's been put through at least an competent QA team.

Well, yes, I don't. But you know, having a nice looking game helps immensely. Visual maybe aren't the be-all-end-all but it has value. Seeing the last-generation animation work and the bad textures is pretty disheartening.

Gamebryo is hyperbolic i admit, but rather fitting analogy for how SAMEY the game looks to last gen's Fallout in spite of the coat of paint. Then again, if it wasn't samey, I wouldn't know what to expect.

Is The Witcher 3 vs. Fallout 4 the new New Vegas vs. Fallout 3?

You do know that games and companies can co-exist... right?

This needs to be a mod for the dog. I'd totally put that in for a whacky run.
$15.99

Horse armor.

Where is the outrage against Bethesda? I dont understand the gaming world anymore. Ps4 is selling better than x1 right now, so lets assume fo4 sells better on ps4, theyre fos on ps3 were a mess.

No one cares.

Ubi has graphical glitches, theres a 200 page thread.

People keep preordering broken games at launch, yet theres posts already about preordering a game that doesnt even have a release date.

Smh
 
I didn't expect this vitriol to the graphic fidelity of the game. Would you guys rather have the same tired bullshot awesome trailers ala Witcher 3/Watch Dogs and then find out it gets visually downgraded upon release, or would you rather see something that looks a lot like something we're getting upon release?

'Cause I'm super fine of what I saw...because it's finally Fallout 4! Fallout 4! Woo!

Witcher 3 still looks leagues better than this. And it's still getting bombed for its graphics yet in this thread people are actually saying this game looks good, even great and amazing lmao. Craziest shit ever.
 
OMFG OMFG OMFG I just woke up...

OMFGGGGGGGGGGG

I was so happy with that trailer.....

I know for a FACT that was Inon Zur returning with music in that trailer... man I'm so hype right now....

It looks like Fallout 3 with an instagram filter.

I think you want to be in the diminishing returns thread... this is a place for HYPE

So its 60fps?

I think it's going to be like FO3, choppy in a lot of areas unless you're on PC. AND I'M DOWN


And Dog is best companion <3

The visuals they use for the pre nuclear period make me go holy shit I want to play that and then when they switch post nuclear I just want to puke. I realize this is the whole point of the game, but every other AAA game looks like that so there's nothing for me.
 
So in your mind saying that this game looks like it could render on a 3DS is the same as just not liking its aesthetic. Right. You said some dumb shit dude, people are allowed to call you on being needlessly hyperbolic.

Are you american?

I generally find Americans are usually the ones with a poor aptitude for identifying sarcasm...

I didn't like the way they fit in "War. War never changes" the first time I heard it, because it sounded a little clunky and forced, but it's actually pretty clever and now I really like it.

When he says "War", it sounds like he's still in character as the announcer. "The soldiers were right... war". Switch to grizzled post-war narrator. "War never changes".
 
The whining about graphics in this thread is why devs always announce their games with boring CG trailers.

Good on Bethesda for putting their balls on the table with an in-engine announcement.

Doesn't look too shabby but i hope it looks better by launch. Expected a little more from a current gen only game though.

You know, looking at these screenies and the Gamersyde trailer, the game actually looks pretty nice. I think we will be let down by character heads/faces again though....

Well there it is. Looks like I got a reason to run through Fallout 3 and New Vegas for the, well I stopped counting after a while.

Graphics look fine imo.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Why do I not give a shit about this series?

It looks decent, just can't get past the post apocalyptic genre strokefest.

Style is similar to Rage, Dishonored art style

Fallout did come before both of those....

Style is like an upgraded version of 3 and new Vegas' concept art and assets; maybe a bit softer due to more colorful locations giving it that Dishonored vibe. Rage was cribbing off Borderlands pretty hard, and I don't see that influence here at all really.
 
-GAF rages demanding Fallout 4 since forever

-Fallout 4 finally revealed

-GAF rages about the graphics, the least important aspect of any game.


GAF in a nutshell.

Too true. Though I would say it's usually just the very vocal minority. I think most of GAF will be actually playing the game and enjoying themselves when it is released. Compared to a few dozen that will bitch (end up buying it anyway) and play in 5 min intervals, taking screenshots inbetween and then jumping back on GAF and starting or replying to rage threads about "Fuck off Bethesda! Where are my GRAFFIX!!!???"

People are disappointed with the visuals? Just what the hell were you expecting? It's an open world game from Bethesda. It looks dramatically more detailed than Fallout 3 and seems to feature much more ambitious world design. It looks very good for a game from these guys.

I thought it looked good too. I guess people were expecting more. I just want good performance. I'll most likely go PC on this but if the console versions run great I might get it on one of them.
 
I honestly hope more games take the low graphic approach. It'll be healthier for the industry in the long term. I'd rather they spend the resources making a more detailed world.
What a contradiction.

If anything, it's the lack of geometry and lighting effect that's hurting the game's looks.

This game was in pre-production since 2008, and full production since 2011 - two years before current gen consoles went on sale and before they even officially existed. Fallout is a series expected to sell 10 million + copies these days. Chances are extremely high this started out as a cross-gen game but shifted to current gen only a year or so ago when Zenimax were convinced by PS4/Xbone adoption rates to ditch the larger install base of last gen.

That explains the lower-than-expected graphic quality. At least we'll easily be seeing 1080p and 30+fps on consoles, and PC gamers know not to worry about visuals in Bethesda Game Studios titles anyway =)

Do you have the names of those mods? I'm very intrigued.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Now we just need Snake in MGS5 to say that "war has changed" just like in MGS4.
 
i have resistance vibes from it.



graphics aren't the best, so are animations.


but i'd rather have it run great and play great. more than any shadows ever.


is that xbone footage? i have a feeling they're co-marketing with xbone.


if it's riddled with ubisoft/ea/skyrim stupid quests, then no thanks.

Yep. People would rather be lied to, apparently, and then get all indignant when the actual game releases.

Ridiculous. I think the game looks great given the hardware they have to work with.
