Crossgen = all the potential ruined.

 

[NMFried]

A remaster on current and last gen would make sense with a 2016 Fallout 4 announcement at E3.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

OHHHH SHITTT Ron Perlman possibly back for Fallout 4? I'm surprised I didn't see this sooner.

I mean, it's like the easiest money in the world. He probably spends at most half a day in a sound studio and calls it a day.

 

[Fracas]

Why not build the next Call of Duty on the NES, I mean fun is fun. Why not build the next Last of Us on the PS3? Why not build the next Halo on the first Xbox? Why have new consoles at all if developers don't even take advantage of them?

When I look at games like GTA V and how they looked downright gorgeous on what could be considered 3 generations of hardware (360/PS3, PS4/XBO, PC), I can't say I'm too worried. Sure, it'd be nice to have the current gen as a baseline, but it's not really that big of a deal to me.

 

[yuraya]

no it doesn't.. E3 conferences aren't all about surprises and MEGATONS.

Not really. Showing a cg teaser at their conference and then showing gameplay at Sony/MS's conference defeats the point of a conference. This will be probably be a cg trailer teasing gameplay.

People will tune in for the gameplay.

But why even have a conference? Just show up at MS conference with new fallout and Sony's conference with new Doom. The fact that they went out of their way to schedule a one hour conference means this is special to them. What is the point of fully blowing announcements just weeks b4 E3? Just seems pointless to me. Unless these guys are going full crazy and announcing new elder game as well as Fallout. Which will be insane lol.

 

[NegroNinja]

Is there any chance that another team or studio could handle the ps3 and Xbox 360 versions while the core Fallout team works on ps4 and Xbox one versions?

 

[DieH@rd]

Development of this game started long time ago, long before nextgen consoles arrived. So crossgen release is believable to me.

I off course think that nextgen-only approach will give us the best game.

 

[JetSetRadio]

I'm sure this will be a joy to experience on PS3.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

This seems to be the norm for all games these days. Which is fucking sad.

Given that Bethesda's last major release was Skyrim, and they didn't even remotely "downgrade" the game from its reveal, I'm comfortable saying this is unlikely, especially given how long they've waited to reveal it.

 

[MattyG]

From the CSS:

PA system failure has occured.
Shutdown of the Masterbrain has been authorized and all sensitive materials have been removed for security purposes.
Please attempt re-access. Have a pleasant day.

 

[killerpenguin]

It could just be boilerplate CSS. I think using CSS classes as evidence that the game is cross-gen is a bit premature.

 

[kurahador]

Maybe there will be 2 version guys.

Fallout 4 by Bethesda (PS4/X1)
Fallout 4 Boston by Obsidian (PS3/X360)

;_;

 

[Desaan]

In before 'new' mutilated crossgen U3 engine mess and cut scenes encoded with Bink.

 

[BenHargrove]

I hope this game is cross-gen just to see how gaf reacts.

Just to... JUST TO SEE HOW WE REACT?!?

Don't play with my heart.

'thesda please.

Maybe there will be 2 version guys.

Fallout 4 by Bethesda
Fallout 4 Boston by Obsidian

;_;

I'll take F4 Boston by Obsidian, for current-gen please.

 

[Xion_Stellar]

I hope this game is cross-gen just to see how gaf reacts.

*Actives V.A.T.S.*
*Aims for Head*
*Unloads all AP on target and fires*

DON'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT THAT!

 

[Backfoggen]

I'm sure this will be a joy to experience on PS3.

Frame rate can't go lower than 0, so it can't be worse than Skyrim.

 

[thehillissilent]

Crossgen = all the potential ruined.

I will be very disappointed if it's crossgen. Crossgen needs to be left to die in the Wasteland.

 

[Xamtheking]

It could just be boilerplate CSS. I think using CSS classes as evidence that the game is cross-gen is a bit premature.

But low and behold, after the codemining, the PS3 and X360 tags mysteriously vanished

 

[Cowboy Dan]

I'm sure this will be a joy to experience on PS3.

Glorious 15 fps.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

When do we think we'll see this? Historically Bethesda usually announces a year to year and a half in advance. I imagine we'll at least see a "coming 2016" tag, but realistically I'd put my money on fall 2016.

As for cross gen - I highly, highly doubt it. Especially with a presumed launch still possibly a year away.

I'm still hoping for Fall '15 or Spring '16 at the latest. Unless it's delayed, Fall '16 isn't even a possibility to me.

November '15 or February '16 make the most sense. The latter is the most likely, sadly.

 

[Mixolydian]

I have never played a Fallout game. Can I be excited too?

 

[MonkeyMan29]

You're calling a new game a remaster.

If it's cross-gen with 10 year old consoles, yes, that's basically what it would amount to.

Long load times, same gameplay, same AI, featuring higher resolution, graphics, but, all in all, what amounts to a remaster.

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Glorious 15 fps.

You mean .4 frames a Second!

 

[OnionPowder]

The Xbox 360 launch is closer to the Nintendo 64 launch than it would be to the Fallout 4 launch. Please don't do this

Spoiler

I'll get it no matter what

 

[dragonfart28]

Announcement of announcements.

 

[MattyG]

I have never played a Fallout game. Can I be excited too?

Yes. Every man, woman and child should be excited right now.

Rejoice, for it is here.

 

[a916]

Crossgen = all the potential ruined.

No it isn't lol... the only logical reason one could be "held back" is if the developer of the current gen version has to spend development time to port it over.

 

[lighthouse777]

 

[mnannola]

I'm sure this will be a joy to experience on PS3.

Whats the over/under on average FPS? 10?

 

[banefirelord]

This is what's going to happen:

1) Fallout 4 reveal. Will look absolutely STUNNING, bigger than ever, AI as complex as it can be, and fantastic lighting. They promise parity between all consoles.
2) Closer to release. Trailers will keep making it look AMAZING. PS3 and Xbox 360 screens start to pop up, and it will look like ass. Geometry will be there, but it will run at 20fps with no dynamic lighting and shadows. No news for the PS4 and X1.
3) Upon release. PS4 and X1 gets leaked at showrooms. These versions will NOT look like the E3 reveal. Fans will cry to Bethesda saying they lied! Screen comparisons will show lack of fog, lesser shaders, and a grass texture removed for the final retail version.
4) Defenders will bring up Watch Dogs and Witcher 3 as past examples of games that looked better upon first showing than the final copy. PC enthusiasts will stay positive.
5) Game will release, and everyone will try it.
6) The cycle continues for the next open world game.

With the exception of the first Oblivion demo, Bethesda has been really, really good at not bullshotting people. I doubt this will happen.

 

[PurpleSquid]

oooh please for the love of god don't let it be cross gen. just let that code in the site be some left overs when it was but they cancelled those cause it was holding back the true game! pleaseeeeeeeeee

 

[Jonm1010]

Given that Bethesda's last major release was Skyrim, and they didn't even remotely "downgrade" the game from its reveal, I'm comfortable saying this is unlikely, especially given how long they've waited to reveal it.

I hope. But then there is Fallout 3 and Oblivion where they did.

Either way I am more concerned about it potentially being cross-gen. From the company that was always so interested in the next tech to further their vision to now possibly intentionally anchor themselves to systems almost a decade old.

 

[Buttonbasher]

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

 

[OnionPowder]

Whats the over/under on average FPS? 10?

Probably closer to 0 based on Skyrims launch.

 

[Chezzymann]

Is this legit?

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

I really hope it's not cross-gen

 

[Xeroblade]

You are going to quit video games because a company that is known for using recycled and updating engines, that sold a crap load of copies of another particular game (Skyrim) that probably want to match those sales with Fallout 4, with it possibly being cross-gen?

I rarely post on GAF around E3 time but man.

Its hard to joke on the internet when everyone is so serious.

 

[Welfare]

That's Fallout 3 with mods.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Is this legit?

I hope not.

 

[lighthouse777]

and I will bet this

 

[kiyomi]

Is this legit?

It's legitimately Fallout 3 yes

 

[Mixolydian]

Yes. Every man, woman and child should be excited right now.

Rejoice, for it is here.

It's deal then. Time for a pants-off dance-off with a random stranger.

 

[jmdajr]

Fun times!

 

[Hari Seldon]

Well if you target a game for 512MB then it should be easy to VR it on a system with 8GB of RAM haha.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Is this legit?

No, it looks like shit and it's probably F3 with mods

 

[RPGCrazied]

PS3? Man, I don't feel good about this. Save skyrim after those patches, their games run really bad on PS3.

I am excited for a new Fallout though.

 

[ironcreed]

Is this legit?

LOL, what do you think?

 

[jshackles]

You guys know how the site is fallout.bethsoft.com? I think the css might be there because that site is for the whole franchise, including the previous titles. Just like http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-us/games/assassins-creed-syndicate/

A lot of developers/publishers are doing this, like all in one sites. Could be the same case with Fallout.

Except that those icon files

are all 60x12 and placed in the assets folder. I've looked at their other cross-gen games (namely, The Evil Within) but they don't use similarly sized assets.

 

[Two Words]

What if they were just announcing PS4/XB1 remastered of Fallout 3 and New Vegas?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Maybe there will be 2 version guys.

Fallout 4 by Bethesda (PS4/X1)
Fallout 4 Boston by Obsidian (PS3/X360)

;_;

Fuck that I'd have to play the good one on 9 year old hardware
