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

[Zeronet]

Here's a gem from Rockpapershotgun "It seems that the Brotherhood of Steel – or some local equivalent – had some manner of foothold pre-bombs here. Are they stopping these poor shmoes from reaching the fallout shelters?"

You can argue all you want, but in the end you'll buy it anyways.

When did this site become full of graphics whores?

People aren't graphics whoring, the trailer is just so devoid of any kind of substance that all we really have to go on is graphics. The graphics are pretty notably horrible, too.

I'm good with it. It seems likely I'll be able to play this game on my toaster. I might be more butthurt if I spent $2000 a year upgrading my computer like some 'dexians, but since I won't upgrade my computer until I'm unable to play any new games I say: Thank you Bethesda for using old technology so I'll still be able to play this on release. I'll be pre-ordering when they announce the collector's edition (i also love cheap plastic shit for some reason).

Are you sure? Skyrim looks like shit and still wouldn't run well for a lot of people, at least not until a bunch of patches and "stutter remover" fixes.

But what bothers me about the graphics in the trailer isn't the 2007-era models but the inexplicable choice of shaders that makes everything look like Dishonored, and not in a good way.

Well, sure. How else are we supposed to have an angry opinion about it?

 

[Lord Carlos Wafflebum]

Low graphics setting gets rid of retarded shader issues. Skyrim ran mostly fine for me. I had some CTD's when it first came out, but nothing particularly egregious. Once the stability patches come out, it'll be smoother than a tranny bottom.

Almost everything looks good in this game except the hands of the main character.. literally the thing you see 24/7 in a Bethesda game..

Wait a minute.. Airship... Plastic Square Hammer Hands..

Fallout Fantasy 7 Confirmed.

 

[Night Goat]

I applaud Bethesda's honesty. With so many companies releasing bullshit trailers these days, it's nice to get one that looks as bad as the game will.

 

[Lord Carlos Wafflebum]

I hope the airship is a player home

But what if the game looks even worse and the trailer has the best graphics possible?

Spoiler alert:

Spoiler

It's going to suck.

I spent several minutes making this image so I shall post it here as well:

Can't wait for the New Vegas port.

I noticed stuttering in the trailer.. Even the bullshot trailers can't run on the GameBryo Engine.

 

[Lemming42]

They did hire a 3rd party company to produce this masterpiece trailer, didn't they? If that's the best they could do with it the game itself should be a laugh riot.

I'm worried that there's going to be time travel involved and that there will be a plot twist where your protagonist was actually the one who set off the nukes through time travel.

If anyone was actually going to show the war itself, I'd rather it be Obsidian.

Also, any reason they couldn't have used someone who wasn't a boring white dude for the default PC?

 

[m_s0]

Please don't suck.

That's just fucking stupid enough to be true.

I buy all DLC for Fallout games as soon as they're released. Then I sperg all over the internets when they don't work due to bugs. Good timez.

Hopefully there will be paid mods..
What could go wrong?

 

[Lord Carlos Wafflebum]

YES. Time travel. At least it would be new ground for Fallout, yes?

Depends.. Do we count easter eggs as canon?

DLC are paid mods. I don't need more mods to pay for. Charging for your mod is a great way to make sure no one downloads it.
