Fallout 4 Pre-Release Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[Lemming42]

I'm not entirely sure about that, there's plenty of people who think Fallout 3 is Todd's magnum opus and the peak of human endeavour but the majority of people, even ones who prefer Fo3 overall, seem to acknowledge NVs superior writing and design. Being forced in Fallout 4 to support Good Faction and slaughter Evil Faction might be jarring to people after the total control over the plot NV offered.

Maybe if you're a tard who cannot into ini configs - uGrids, shadow resolution and shadow & foliage draw distance make a huge difference and that's just for starters.

The main issue is the shadows, and as far as i can remeber you can't really do much about them, at least in Skyrim. All in all, those tweaks won't make much difference, except for uGrids i guess.

There's no magic "add distant shadows" or "make the game look good lel" setting.

You won't turn this

Into this

What? All those who love fallout 3 hated new vegas and other way around.

I liked both Fallout 3 and NV, but I would only consider NV to be an RPG. I would still prefer NV to an open-world shooter any day of the week.

Yeah iirc Skyrim had some idiotically low limit with shadows, or light sources at least. One would hope that they would've done away with that sort of nonsense this time, but with Bethesda you never know. The flat lighting and lack of contrast overall does them no favors, either, but you can tell it's from the console version since it looks even worse than at the original reveal video:

Especially like those hollow cardboard box houses.

 

[pippin]

That looks just like Big Town in FO3. This white light is specially irritating to my eyes. I guess it looks even worse on movement.

Those are also from the PS4 version:

Doesn't look so bad, after all. People are just too retarded to take good screenshots.

 

[Drax]

Looks perturbed to me

 

[Lemming42]

Fair enough, that looks decent. Maybe the Spanish version just inexplicably looks like shovelware.

Good FO4 screenshots are taken when you have something huge right in front of you. Ok.

Good screenshots are taken with proper gamma settings and PNG file format, for starters.

Forget shadows
Textures are low and models are really simple.
And why are all people black&latino

We should complain more about the shitty graphics of Fallout New Vegas when we're at it. I couldn't enjoy the story and quests due to it's shitty textures. Blergh.

Sure, it did look like shit and if left unmodded some of the character models managed to be worse than Oblivion. The only reason we're all ripping on the visuals is because it's the only thing we can really comment on from the screenshots and all we know about the game so far, except for the horrific dialogue wheel.

Nigga, are you for real? This time you won't have any of that, so yeah, if it looks like shit, they failed at everything.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Nigga go play some more Twitcher 3 potatotrash.

The people models...seriously look like stuff from 5-10 years ago.

Who's idea that they looked good and would pass in 2015?

Another batch:

 

[Orma]

Spoiler

 

[Makabb]

These looks gud, now can't wait to see PC.

 

[Dreaad]

lol wat. Where is the light coming from? They also need to change the UI to not be ice blue, that looks visually jarring (Ideally you can just turn the fucking thing off, why would you need to know your AP points anyway? Doesn't VATS mode automatically show you how many you have left? Doesn't anyone in Beth have visual design experience?)

 

[Orma]

Default green hud is even more annoying imo, so this didn't look that bad to me.

(Ideally you can just turn the fucking thing off, why would you need to know your AP points anyway? Doesn't VATS mode automatically show you how many you have left? Doesn't anyone in Beth have visual design experience?)

If I remember correctly, AP is some sort of bar you fill to do crits, and VATS isn't a time stopper now, more of a time slower.

 

[Metro]

You guys can't complain about popamole gameplay on one hand then be graphic whores on the other. Tons of posers up in this thread.
