The Inside Track
Is there anywhere we can download high quality direct feed of FO4 gameplay? I checked Gamersyde but the only video I saw was off-cam from the reveal event.

Sadly Bethesda has decided to go Youtube exclusive (and I guess maybe IGN?) since E3. We tried many times and didn't get any videos since the first announcement trailer.
 
So is he. He's voicing his opinion on the graphics. He isn't going to let it get in the way of his enjoyment of the game.
That's the thing tho almost everyone in here aside from some shitposts has said this. Im going to enjoy the game(if it plays good) and still say it doesn't look good.

I can't believe people are actually saying the game doesn't look ugly. Seriously. You may be excited to play the game (I know I am), and you should be, but be honest with yourself. This looks like a last gen game.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
God damn it's so washed out.

I really wish I had a PC capable of running this my HD7950 is way too old to handle it.
 
You're surprised that a direct feed 4K PC screenshot looks a shit ton better than a ps4 share button jpg uploaded to imgur?

Seriously!

It's also like some people don't realize how much more powerful current PCs are than consoles. A PC equipped with a GPU analogous to a GTX 960 would offer significantly superior graphics. Even with less compression and full RGB color spectrum you are not going to make up for much worse IQ, AO, LOD, shadow and shader quality. A 4K screenshot is an extreme case as it would take a very beefy rig to run it at those resolutions, but even at 1080p you can see huge differences between console and PCs at high settings.

God damn it's so washed out.

???

A 7950 would offer superior performance to a PS4 at 1080p, and you should be able to turn up the graphics settings beyond what the consoles offer. The biggest problem would be memory capacity, but not all games require more than 2Gb.

You can't believe people have a different opinion to yourself? What planet are you living on?

You can assume, but not guarantee.

yes.
im am a huge fan of naughty dog but im a little concern if something goes wrong and the game dont turn out amazing like the other entries.
another example is MGSV i didnt finish, actually i played only 3 hours and didnt hook me up like the other games.

now saying this game will be amazing like others just because is not the correct thing to say

Well.. That pretty much explain the bad graphics. They pretty much made it 2 years ago and concentrated in the voice overs. Thinking that way you convinced me to buy the GOTY version with 75% off.
To have nearly every object in the game movable with physics applied to them, instead of the usual static objects that we get in most games, is very expensive to a system.

You have to make trade offs all the time and it's clear, that with Bethesda, they'd rather give the player more freedom over what they want to do, than have a static world that you can't do anything in.

Personally, I prefer having more detailed worlds.

Edit: Your banned now anyway. Good luck with the wait until next year to play FO4!

Having an opinion does not mean it needs to be mutually respected. However, people should also not sling mud or pretend to be so obtuse in the process on either side of the fence.

Be constructive and back up why your opinion is what it is.

the negative comments on the game graphics are breaking my heart. People who talk like this deserve this market of Assassin Creeds, 40 dollars season passes and of fifteen giga day-one patches.

No, they deserve a Fallout by Bethesda instead of Obsidian.

Not a big fan of the HUD, looks too "cartoonish" and simplistic for my liking. Won't comment on the graphics untill I see it on PC at 1080p60.

I don't think you can really backup the opinion of "I think it looks good."

Doesn't make it any less valid though.
 
Pre ordered but I agree the graphics are disappointing but I expect the game play to be fun. I expect--I do not know. It is fair game for people to complain about the graphics in a screenshot thread. Why defend a game you haven't played before? Also skyrim felt lifeless to me--open world that depended on mods. I do not think Bethesda should get a pass because of mods. When you review a game you don't think about future mods you think about the game that got shipped.

You can give reasons as to why, those of us who are using constructive criticism are explaining why we think it has some shortcomings in late 2015.

Like, what about it makes you think that?

People get called out all the time for not backing up why, when they just say, "I think it looks bad".

"If people are allowed to believe that Halo 5 is visually a great looking next gen title without getting shit for it, then I can abso fucking lutely think the same for Fallout 4"

there, it is done

Touche`

Especially people that are, ya know possibly already playing it and not just seeing screenshots. I mean, I don't know who those people are but they gotta be out there.

I just ordered it but let's be honest here, It looks like ass. We've already had much better looking open world games in Witcher 3, GTA V (including the last gen version), DA:I, Arkham Knight, Mad Max, MGS V, Ass Creed Unity & Syndicate, Watch Dogs, inFamous etc and there's plenty more that look more visually impressive on the Horizon (Pun intended)

It seems like they started making this with a dated engine at best as a cross-gen game and time ran away with them or they underestimated this gen's success, not much can be done about it now.

At the end of the day though I don't think anybody has ever bought a Fallout game because of its graphics. With Witcher 3 outdoing Skyrim in terms of gameplay (for me) my hope is just that Fallout 4's gameplay isn't as dated as it's engine. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: "Looks like ass" is a little strong, The screenshots in the OP absolutely do, but the gameplay footage released simply looks "ok"

just cause it looks last gen doesn't mean it looks ugly. Its not the most gorgeous game out there but I've seen worst. I've never cared much for graphics anyway, all i ask for is a coherent art direction (which they did) so the game doesn't look like it was all slapped together and I'm good.

Jesus, what is with all the arguments and negative comments. If you don't like the look of the game either say it once and move on or at least keep the arguments to a minimum. I seriously don't understand why some of you guys are intent on destroying people's hype.

Destroyers of hype!


Edit: I think these screens look good considering the stuff you can do in the game. Some of you really need to read up on how hard it is to have nice graphics when you have complicated systems in game.

What is this? Other than what looks like a piss poor reason for using a gif that reeks of fanboyism?

I have consoles by Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony (and a weak laptop with an Intel GPU), so I'm certainly not a fanboy. But it's just annoying that some developers show videos at trade shows, that looks better than the final game. Why didn't they show the Xbox One-version at E3?
 
It's always hysterical when console gamers adopt max settings PC version visuals as their headcanon for what the games they played actually looked like during the previous gen. Wonder if it'll happen again with PS4.

I mean, sure, the game's not particularly beautiful but there ain't a last generation title doing anything close to what this game is doing while looking the way this game does and at 1080p to boot.

Do you think you could help?

I mean, I can't of anything to say other than "The look of this game appeals to me, and I really like looking at it"

If people's opinions on a game's graphics destroys your hype for a game, there's a problem.

The game looks pretty bad for a game in 2015. I still want to play it, but I don't have to defend the game to other people for some unknown reason as if it's perfect...

Thank God for mods.

So basically anything negative can't be discussed because it kills hype? I highly doubt people saying the graphics look last gen is killing anyones hype.
