Shiiiit.

 

[Fushichou187]

I wonder what the title reveal will look like on the teaser? I thought that hoax reveal over a year ago was slick as shit.

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

The crossgen haters always make me laugh.

 

[gamechanger87]

If you inspect the elements on Chrome, go to Sources > Styles > 3d395ab9.main.css, you'll find all the platforms (Steam, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4). So no, it's not gone.

Isn't that the aggregate style sheet? I would trust how they structure the Google Tag Manager more than the style sheet. The GTM is set up so that Google correctly captures the website for XBO and PS4 searches.

 

[Obliterator]

You know when Kotaku first leaked the game was set in Boston and a few other details like 2 years ago I believe they said then it was cross gen from what they heard.

Have to give them props if it turns out true. Still cant believe this may happen in 2015. Good grief

 

[Wolfie5]

YES!!! So happy right now

 

[spliced]

I was kinda thinking of trying out a Fallout game, maybe this will be the one.

 

[VicDaMoan03]

I'm seriously bummed about cross gen. Will we get confirmation tomorrow in the trailer that its cross gen?

 

[Hurricane43]

Where's the downgrade thread?

Can't wait for it on my 980ti

 

[Shredderi]

Really fucking hope that it's not a crossgen effort. That would automatically shut down any hopes of the game having core features and designs that take advantage of the new hardware that would not be possible on last-gen consoles. A bummer of most epic proportions that would be. They already spoke about the advantages of next-gen etc. I get that they would try to pursue the big install base of last-gen but I'm not a company who needs to keep those things in mind. As a consumer I would hope to get games that really justify the purchase of my PS4.

 

[Tagyhag]

It's no surprise, but cross-gen would be a huge disappoint me if true.

It makes sense though, would suck to scrap 2 versions that you'd been working on for a while.

I hope it's as slick as the original Fallout 3 teaser. Same with the E3 trailer.

 

[Leafhopper]

That's an image of 3 with mods, I'm pretty sure.

We got a detective.

 

[GlamFM]

Possibly a current gen remaster, plus last gen F3/NV bundle.

No?

 

[Nzyme32]

Crossgen is expected, as I've mentioned before, I really don't care about how they do it. It is ultimately the game that matters, and I look forward to seeing it

Bethesda just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about serving RPG fans expecting innovation from the numbered sequels in their favourite video game series (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like in iOS app development where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you prioritise supporting outdated platforms like PS3/360 over giving RPG fans the innovation they require, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the RPG fans, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase Fallout 4 for either system, nor will they purchase any of Bethesda's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Bethesda has alienated an entire market with this move.

Bethesda, publicly apologize and cancel Fallout 4 for 360/PS3 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

To be fair, if you were pouring millions into development and you COULD get your game up and running on the old systems and be guaranteed extra money, why wouldn't you?

It'll be incredibly ugly and have mid-wasteland loading screens. But it'll be fine.

 

[entremet]

Cross gen is really killing me.

 

[Buttonbasher]

We got a detective.

Just wanted to help out people that thought it was real, as happened in the posts below mine.

 

[Skii]

Not interested if it is cross gen. Will be a mess technically on last gen and will be held back on current gen.

 

[kewlmyc]

Never finished the old one, but I'd play the shit out of this one. Love me some long RPGs. Saves me money.

[Captain_Wreckus]

After seeing how good witcher 3 is on the Xbox One and it is not on the Xbox 360 or PS3, I would prefer that it isn't on last gen systems.

 

[Chris R]

Crossgen? REALLY??? Oh man talk about disappointing if true.

 

[gamechanger87]

For The Evil Within - for example the PS4 image

is 165x35 and a PNG file (not SVG)

So how do you explain GTM not mentioning it, if the game is cross gen? Are they just hoping that google will not pick it up?

http://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id=GTM-P8P6GJ

 

[KatamariOnTheRocks]

I'm not going to drop anything new, it's just a lot of people are vastly over estimating the effects of cross-gen on development of a current gen title.

I'm curious as to how much of an impact you believe it would have. I think it's reasonable to assume major cutbacks must be made to be compatible with 10 year old hardware.

 

[Crimson_Gold]

Depends on how many sales they gain vs the potential sales that are lost due to such a decision. Most other publishers and devs are moving towards current gen only. Last gen sales are declining. I doubt those sales will pick up in the next year or so...

 

[Obliterator]

Judging by software sales in general the game will sell pretty terribly on last gen anyways, especially if its 2016 and not this year.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

No?

Yes? That wasn't a question it was a thought. You can't remaster a last gen game for last gen, but F3/NV could be put in the same case.

 

[daveo42]

Edit: Oops...wrong one. tired of that one as well.

It's a tired and played out meme.

Much like my previous post.

But fallout 3 already was that on current gen consoles last time without having to worry about 2 other platforms. That worries me a bit.

We are all also assuming Bethesda is doing a shadows of mordor and working backwards for last gen.

They may very well have initiated development in last gen and have built it around those limitations and just shifted everything to current gen. Leaving a last gen designed game with next gen window dressing. Gamebryo fuckery and all.

I think that is the primary fear here.

Thanks, and phew!

 

[NeonDelta]

Very disapointed if its cross gen but will still get it

 

[BFIB]

The only way I could see cross gen working is if there is another studio handling the 360/PS3 with completely different assets.

Or if they've been building this for a while, like GTA V with cross-gen in mind from the start, just optimized beyond insane expectations for 360/PS3.

 

[Gamezone]

Crossgen would just kill the potensial of a true nextgen title. I don`t want a 900p/1080p PS3/Xbox360 upgrade on my nextgen consoles.

 

[ironcreed]

 

[Euron]

The crossgen haters always make me laugh.

Because we don't like how those types of games are being limited in terms of size, visuals, AI, amount of dialogue, unique locations, performance, and just overall gameplay?

With Bethesda's vision it makes zero sense for the game to be cross gen. Hell, it makes zero sense for them to release it on PS3. If I were Bethesda at the very least I'd find every excuse possible to not make the game for a platform the company is notoriously bad at developing for.

The only bright side is that cross gen should basically confirm at 2015 release.

I feel like we're stretching the limit of these now.

 

[qa_engineer]

If its anything like destiny we'll get a lot of fancy load screens and a watered down game made to fit old, I mean really old hardware.

 

[Despera]

WTF is it really going to be crossgen?

 

[foxtrot3d]

Hype somewhat deflated by cross-gen.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I love the amount of people that can't tell this is satire anytime it's posted.

To be fair, if you haven't seen it before, it looks much like a lot of the stupid shit people say online all the damn time.

 

[Fury451]

Cross gen? They barely had 3/New Vegas working on last gen. I'm sure even with a current gen only version it will be bugged up the backside. No Bethesda. Please no.

 

[killerpenguin]

That's exactly how it seemed.
