I took a break from work and just noticed this thread. Glorious.
"Not well received" is probably not an accurate assessment of VATS. By and large it was one of the most well received mechanics of FO3, even with all of its problems.

Yep. Me too. I'm sure it will be horrible but I don't think I can make myself wait. Hopefully it won't ruin the game for me (To be fair, every Bethesda game I've played was really old by the time I played it so haven't experienced the launch day bugginess of Bethesda games. By the time I play them they are as patched up as Bethesda is going to make them. But then I've also played them on the worst platform possible to play them on, the PS3. So maybe that evens things out somewhat?).

Bullettime VAT would be something I'd very much want, more player skill, less RNG, and would make for more fun combat imo.

I know, I may buy it too. Lol Hopefully, I just play something else while they patch it up.

Just pray the inevitable ensuing patch doesn't break the character that you rack lots of hours up on with your $60 beta version

Where Morgan Freeman is always wrong.
Same here. Well I played New Vegas about 2 months after the release but the other games were at least several months after. I won't be waiting this time though. Such a looong wait already.
I also played them all on my ps3. So many frozen screens and manually turning off the console I lost count, even to this day (looking at you New Vegas). Didn't stop them from being my favorite games last gen. It's why I pray this is not crossgen. This game needs to be on a machine that can handle it.

Vats was one of the reasons 18 year old me fell in love with the series. Now almost 8 years later I'm about to turn 26 and I have a fallout tattoo.

I'm hyped for a new Fallout but I also hope Bethesda plans to announce a transition to Steamworks for Fallout 3.

VATS is a pretty terrible mechanic, but its not like the game plays well at all without it. I don't expect them to remove it...or improve it.

What's the tattoo of out of curiousity?

Hahaha. Awesome.

Awesome. I've always wanted a gaming related tattoo but I'm too scared people would think it's too childish. :/
I'm sure it is, considering they haven't officially announced the game yet. This will almost certainly be along the lines of the Skyrim reveal.

I mean it's your body. Do whatever you want to do with it. Don't let other people influence that.

Better yet no game. Vanity items for Elders Scrolls Online!
They didn't have that in FO3 though as far as I recall, that was an Obsidian addition in only NV. So you didn't really have much of a choice but to use it.
Don't get me wrong I totally get it, if they go with VATs because it's ingrained in Fallout , that's understandable and I'll just go, got it, not a game for me, that's cool.

Ok, here is a stance I can get behind (improvements, not the balls thing^^). I love VATS, but adding in more nuances and making you learn different strategies and targeting for different foes would be pretty great^^
We got a date with that teaser as I recall. That would be nice here too.
Well I don't care about Fallout the same way I do/did Elder Scrolls, but I guess this bodes well that Fallout is first this time since it'll serve as a nice prototype to test whatever Engine they'll likely use for the next legitimate Elder Scrolls game.
I did really enjoy Fallout 3 just fine however.

Plus, Skyrim was by far Bethesda's biggest success. This is going to be their first game since then, and it's taken longer than usual to be announced/revealed. Skyrim came out nearly four years ago, New Vegas five years, and Fallout 3 seven years.
I'm stoked.
I always played it in third person. It felt limited to play in first person.
In a world Post Dark Souls/Dark Souls II, I'm curious how the new generation of Bethesda RPGs will be influenced, it would really help some of my issues with these games.
We're less than 10 hours away from finally having official info about Fallout 4. That's insane. I've been waiting for this for at least the last 3 years. Every gaming event has been a disappointment, and ever hoax even worse, but it's finally happening.
IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING.

I know. I can recall people getting hyped back at the 2012 video game awards, and me right with them. It's been years with lots of disappointments in between. It's hard to believe it's finally happening.
I guess I need to go to sleep. I really don't want to oversleep and miss it.
Same here, but I have a feeling I won't be able to sleep. Between wanting to play The Witcher and this, it's a lost cause.
That's like mine except I got the more optimistic and happy version......
Crappy photo taken pretty much as soon as it was done. Still don't regret it, been in love with Fallout since the first game nothing has changed since then.

Percentages isn't really a useful abstract for conversations though. In combat things are a lot more random. A superior fighter may lose against an inferior opponent because he fucks up. Dice rolls simulate that randomness. All things being equal a person tends to respond to the same words in the same way so a threshold where you know your stuff or don't works better. Also less save scumming.
Obsidian did learn that lesson for Pillars of Eternity where there's an option to toggle of metagame stuff and hide dialogue choices that aren't met which is probably the ideal way to play it.
I wonder if there's a mod that hides the tags and the red highlighting so you either see the failure dialogue option or the success one depending on skill and have to choose the right one based on that alone.

It never felt like the percentages in VATS meant anything to me, especially when if you chose to use VATS in an awkward spot your shots would miss no matter what.

So is there no hope of this game being on Unreal 4 or Cryengine?
I remember there were some rumors way back.

Don't take this the wrong way, but the hair all over it makes it even better.
That frown.
Crossgen would kill me.... after how Fallout 3/New Vegas ran on the PS3. I can't even comprehend another release on last gen platforms.
Last gen consoles will just hold the games back at this point.
That said..... I can't wait for the reveal! I actually replayed FO3 somewhat recently and it is still a great game. I need to replay New Vegas again soon.

I really doubt it. I'll be shocked if it's not on an in-house engine.
If they use an engine that fucks with my modding, it will not be purchased. Mods are more important than any graphical issue to me.
Honestly just hope whatever tech they used hasn't eaten up too much of their time.
Bethesda RPG's are some of the most intricate games ever created, if not patently THE MOST intricate games; the amount of missions you can do, the order at which you can do them, the way they can affect each other.. the way killing/stealing/etc. can affect what you can do, etc. Then you have the sheer amount of objects/bodies/etc. that are left around the world, most of them indefinitely.
I would be completely fine with them using their old engine with some new effects / higher resolution assets baked in.
Skyrim w/ mods for instance still looks phenomenal when you take into account the scope of the game. Happening upon fights between trolls and dragons.. shit is nuts!

You know, I have no idea why this exact moment in particular did it, but this post suddenly made it sink in that this is real. Like I knew it was, obviously. This things been blowing up all day. I mean I even raged at the thought of cross-gen and thought to myself "Todd Howard, if you dare put this thing on that old hardware........I'm coming for you."
But through all of that it never really hit me. But shit bro's, we are about to see Fallout Fucking 4 in like less than 10 hours.
What a time to be alive eh?
Yeah, getting hyped while listening to some of that nice music. The old 20s vibe music is so cool in these grittier games.
