Fallout 4 Officially Revealed for PC, Xbox One, PS4 [Reddit Rumor = Ban]

I just hope that Bethesda somehow gets Tom Brady and David Ortiz to voice a couple of characters.

Oh, and anachronistic as it may sound, if THIS isn't used somewhere in the game or in a trailer, I'm going to be really, REALLY, REALLY pissed off.
 
"What makes The Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 "completely different beasts"? They're both open world, next gen, single player RPGS?"

b-but the world is so large and there's probably seamless loading! and you can move every spoon so that means they shouldn't cast any shading. and at least we know it looks like shit instead of having it downgraded from 11/10 to 10/10 graphics!

Don't forget it has "bethesda' on the box.
 
All of these debbie downers. The game clearly looks better than Skyrim and Fallout 3. Did you guys really expect better graphics than the Witcher 3?

Wow, I watched the trailer before reading the thread. I watched the trailer and was like damn this looks pretty cool, really want to play it. Somebody reading GAF would think people just don't play anything because everything is crap.

My only problem is after Skyrim PS3 I promised myself to never support them again for the shit way they treated PS3 owners. I didn't buy Dishonered but i'm pretty sure i'm going to have give in for this.

Here's a screenshot I just captured directly from Skyrim on my 360:

Frankly, it's a joke that Bethesda can't even match the same quality as their last game running on old hardware. Absolute fraud.

It really doesn't. The PS3 couldn't run a game like that without major issues and graphic problems.
Agreed. It couldn't even handle skyrim, which was a last gen game.
I think it looks quite good. Here's hoping they announce preorders for a Limited Edition. I need to get on that.

Dying Light isn't even a fraction of what this game is going to be.
What it has to do with the graphic exactly? Console now have enough bandwith/ram for such game. You don't save magically more cpu resources with less demanding graphic. They are not like ps360.
 
It must be pretty shitty to be a dev and create such detailed environments, only for people to turn around and psis all over your efforts because they have a skewed memory of how last-gen games look.

It must be pretty great to be a dev and have people willing to apologize and make up excuses for you all for free.

Valid criticisms are valid especially when the expectation is that a AAA title will have comparable graphics to other AAA titles released in the same time period.

I don't think anyone should shit all over a game or someone that made the game, but to be exempt from valid criticism is simply unreasonable.

I felt the same way after playing Skyrim on PS3. But... I gotta have my Fallout 4. I may be hypocritical but fuck it.

There's valid criticism or commentary and then there's "This game looks worse than San Andreas".
 
if you want to say that the dog looks a bit last gen then ill grant you as much, but you folks are smoking some crazy good shit if you think this game is even close to doable on the last gen machines. the lighting alone would make those machines sweat hard as hell.
 
As long as this promotion involves pizza delivery by drones of some kind (aerial or terrestrial), I'm sold.



With co-marketing stuff ramping up this early, yeah, that was exactly what I was thinking.

Yeah Co-Marketing doesnt ramp up 6+ months in advance. This could be a damn Summer title for all we know

You'll get rads poisoning with that pizza. :p
Joking aside, love me some domino's. Mmm

I can agree the character models aren't the best. But the environmental details are phenomenal! I'm not the biggest Bethesda fan or RPG fan but I enjoyed Fallout 3 quite a lot - mostly for how novel everything in the game was for me. But this definitely has my interest.

Yeah, the graphics complaining is always bothersome to me. The contradiction where gamers demand super ultra graphics which require millions of dollars to create, then don't want to pony up more than $20 to pay for a game. And then they wonder why devs have to go and spend so much money on development to begin with.

I think the graphics are more than nice for this type of game. That said, for me, The Witcher 3 set a super high bar standard for "open-world" games that I am not sure Bethesda can match. At least their narrative and writing abilities have not been adequate. To me that is far far more important than "graphics".

The interesting thing I saw from the trailer was pre-fallout scenes which I don't think have been done in the series before.

I guess the scope of the game must be much bigger than its predecessors to have to make visual sacrifices. Honestly though, considering their previous WRPGs in the previous generation, were we expecting FO4 to look more stunning that TW3 (especially given how it suffers from myriad issues on PS4)?
More stunning? No. Match it, at least remotely? Yes.

This, right now, has worse textures, worse polygonal detail, far worse foliage, worse shadows, no AO, far worse character models, worse materials and worse aliasing than The Witcher 3. On consoles.

It can still get better, but for now it's a lot worse than merely not looking better than TW3.
 
Guess we'll get a release date this E3. But seeing that Domino ad makes me hope it'll be this year.

Mass Effect 4 is also rumored to come out this year right?

I want to get a PS4 this year, going to be hard choosing a game I want to play on it first. 😊

That looks better than some TW3 shots.
