The reason for not ditching the engine for something new is also linked to mods.
The modding community will instantly be familiar with the engine so we will see high quality mods being pumped out very soon after release.
I'm 100% convinced that they will reintroduce the concept paid mods via steam (and on XBL for the xbox one) for this game.

Shots have a lot of compression artifacts, I rather wait and see the game in motion for myself.
It isn't, he was just mistaken. It is press X to hablar. The dog doesn't seem to have a name other than dog.
Why do you post a pre-release bullshot that isn't using the released game's lighting engine when it looks better on your PC?
Deliberately deceiving media used to make the comparison more fair in some weird twist of logic?

Yeah what the hell happened to that. The footage during Microsoft's show looked fine too. Todd Howard then showed the part with the river where he explained PBR and volumetric lighting. Those inside the vault pics look really bad too....
Will certainly not apply to Fallout - a Bethesda game - at launch.
nobody is saying it wont be a good game or that they wont play it. They are just stating that the graphics look shitty in those screens.
Not sure why people think its some personal attack on them

How the fuck CD Prjkt with a fraction of the budget and staff made one of the best looking games to date is beyond me, shame on bethesda.
Well to start the game looked nothing like that. Got downgraded for consoles remember?
It wasn't that bad lol. I can 100% guarantee Fallout 4 will be 10 times buggier than the witcher 3

The most likely explanation is that this is leaked old build awaiting final patches.

E3 2015 Trailer (Gamersryde-Version)
Fallout 4 Gameplay Exploration Trailer (Youtube)
PS4-Version (?)
keep the compression in mind.
It looks like the LOD scaling on the console versions is absolutely killing it. To be fair, F3/NV were similar, even on PC.
I'm still in the camp of F4 being Bethesda's least buggy game yet. Skyrim was substantially better than F3 and Oblivion in that regard, and they don't have to worry about the PS3's split memory/clutter issues anymore. I think there will be some crow eating come launch.

Are these...promo shots? They're kinda weirdly framed. It reminds me of when I'd mash the f12 button on steam and get shots of characters in the middle of animations
You missed my point. Even ignoring the reserved portion for the system, the game needs memory available for other functions of the game than just vram, ie not all of that available memory will be available as vram either

Their game did not end up looking like this and looks far worse than this on consoles. The game has a famously long dedicated downgrade thread.
Not without help it doesn't. The vanilla game does not have the quality of that old pre-downgrade bullshot

Yeah, if I get this it will be for cheap on PC when mods are out.

The screenshot that will live in infamy, it would be even funnier if he picked the Novigrad promo shot. Would have only invalidated his point more.

Nice strawman there, but no-one is saying anything about lowering AAA development costs. When you look at the profit that Bethesda make, it's not unreasonable to ask them to put more of that into the graphics side of things.
Agreed. I don't like to use the term but I almost feel we've got a Bethesda Defence Force trolling this thread right now. Which may I remind anyone reading this, is a SCREENSHOT thread, so discussion on the graphics is the whole purpose of the thread.

Man i hate that SOME developer's have this free pass badge if this were anybody else they'd be getting hammered with no protection. Nobody is even saying the gameplay,story will be bad jus that the graphics aren't up to par(which they aren't). Still going to be a fabulous game,probably one of the bedt this gen but at least call it like u see it

Up close, Fallout 4 looks much better than Fallout 3 - it's just the scenic views that haven't improved much.

Why would anyone say that?
That should be the least of the end-users concerns. All I care about is the quality of the final product, I really don't care how we end up arriving at that point.
They could have used UE4 if cost was an issue. But that isn't the issue, I'm pretty sure it's more to do with what I posted above. Either that or the game was cross-gen once upon a time but they ditched the last gen versions due to witnessing sales for last gen games drop off so drastically recently.
How the fuck CD Prjkt with a fraction of the budget and staff made one of the best looking games to date is beyond me, shame on bethesda.
What game is this? Witcher 4?
Seriously, though, you can say one has better graphics than the other, and maybe it does -- But fact is every Bethesda game engages me like no other, FO4 is almost assuredly going to absolutely enthrall me, and Witcher 3 was so boring i couldn't hack it. I literally fell asleep while trying to play it. No variety, no meaningful customization, just zzzz... So.. Shame on, them, I guess, because I didn't like their game.

Oh it's not confirmed to be coming from one of the reviewers with a review copy?
Who are you speaking about? Cause judging from this thread and countless of other threads on Gaf (and other forums), all people can talk about is how shitty the game looks.
Doesn't matter people seem to ignore the witcher 3 was a buggy mess. Fallout 3 and skyrim both had bugs where character models would flip out but nothing too bad. In witcher 3 I had multiple quest lines just not work and a this still happens constantly but button prompts not appearing. I also have to say witcher 3 has a pretty broken hit detection system.

And either the shadows are dialed way back in those shots or there's something seriously wrong with the lighting.

This is a thread for the graphics. If it bothers you so much maybe make a thread for the gameplay.

There are millions of JPG screenshots of other games captured on PS4 and yes they are compressed but you can still tell when a game looks good from those compressed pics.
This is factually false. RAD created the exact game they wanted to create, it just so happens that the game did not do well critically and commercially (i think). You don't make any sense at all when you say Bethesda put more effort in other aspects of the game (you have not played) that is why the graphics aren't mind blowing.

Good lord.
The PS4 version does not look like that, not even close.

Pretty much how this thread is shaping up.
People called "graphics whores" in here now as well. That is more toxic that calling it how one sees it, or expects in late 2015.
It still looks like a generational leap over FO4, hell GTA5 I personally like better visually (more consistent) than W3.

This isn't the first console open world game like this! The Witcher 3 had a very aggressive lod system in place with shadows not being rendered too far off in the distance. I expect the PC version to look superior even with modest hardware. I don't see why people are surprised given the level of horsepower available in these systems.

Textures look wildly inconsistent, pop in is bad, there is just some fuzziness to the image that does not look good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-_l6zfUdlg. I hope they improve what they have here, but for now I won't say it looks amazing.
Which other open world game that looks massively better with much better textures did not need memory for other functions? I got your point, what ever memory is available to F4 (which you don't know exactly) is more than enough, hence why I used the base 8Gb, because that is known for a fact.Nzyme32 said:

Makes it sound like you've never played Fallout 1. Saying 3 or 4 would have at least made some sense.
Yes it was that bad I couldn't even finish one quest line where a werewolf just kinda stood their.

In one of the trailers they showed some interiors and exteriors and it had some pretty cool looking lighting and the water part where they spoke of PBR looked good too. Nothing out of this worldly amazing or anything but nice. If that wasn't going to be coming to the console versions, they should have said so. Let's wait and see.
7 years.
Honestly FO3 looks much much uglier, so I think your comparison only benefits FO4 in some twisted illogical way.
