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

[Lord Carlos Wafflebum]

Now that I've rewatched the trailer, it looks like the physics will still be hilariously bad. The clip with the attack by ghouls shows shopping carts flying gracefully through the air.

I'm pleased. The amount of lulz I've had from mammoths shooting through the air like majestic birds for no apparent reason keeps me warm at night.

Maybe they will ditch that awful Gamebro engine for "Fallout" 5

 

[Mech]

It's like 2007 all over again around here. You guys and your posts are just icing on the yummy cake that FO4 will be. This is gonna be a fun year.

 

[Obsequious Approbation]

I saw a German Shepherd the other day. Awful creatures.

More gems incomming from kotaku

See the guys in armour there? That’s the Enclave, policing who can and cannot get into the vault. Spoilers: most people could not secure vault space...but it’s difficult to feel bad, considering the vaults were actually just glorified testing labs. I digress.

I want to laugh but it's actually making me angry, I thought I stopped getting angry over videogames years ago.

Yep. megaton. The wasteland survival guide chick. Goddamn little lamplight. All those things you just forced out of your memory... all coming back again.

Let the rage flow through you...

PS: i think it is time to replay FO3

Confirmed coprophage.

I like how colorful it is. I like that it looks like it will run well and not focus on ubergraphics that run like shit. I would guess the pre-war stuff is the tutorial. Wonder if it will take place earlier in the timeline then, with you a pre-war person? Interesting. Either way, this might get me back into playing games. Fallout has always made me its bitch, even the relatively terrible Fallout 3.

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

If you mean by that get it from piratebay you are right. Last Bethesda game I bought was Morrowind and that was from a sales bin. I also bought FNV (if that counts) for 75% off (and it was not even worth that).

 

[pippin]

My guess is that it will go like this:

Pre war situation

bombs fall

-FLASH OF LIGHT-

you are the great grandkid of the person from the initial sequence, lone wanderer 2

I was thinking about that, but there's vertibirds and magic-steampunk-jet-zeppelins aplenty, which surely don't fit a pre-Fallout 1 setting. Either way it's going to be a massive logic car crash.

Prequel or Time Travel.. doesn't matter..
Bethesda can't into story lines without large army's of fodder to kill.. This is just their attempt at retconning the destruction of the enclave.

I mean, the Rock Paper Shotgun article thinks the BoS is guiding people into bunkers.. Does anyone actually give a fuck about the story anymore? As long as there are ROCKET LASERS

Damn, you came back 11 years just to shitpost on the next Beth "Fallout" thread again?

 

[Pegultagol]

That's okay, Obsidian will make it better.

I sure as hell will not. Every prestigious, self-respecting person should abstain from giving money to Bethesda after what they did to Fallout.

Get over it faggit.


I wonder what happened with that trailer, texture quality is hilariously bad. Still too early in production or what? Skyrim trailer was light years better, regarding both wow factor and visuals/effects.
They are experienced popamole AAA developers, how did that happen?
WTF is this shit?
Is it too much to ask nowadays to get at least a bit hyped before the inevitable disappointment?

 

[G.O.D]

I just can't give a shit anymore.

Atleast it looks like they continued the formula of retardation, so I don't even have to consider playing it (Even though nothing much is shown, I know)

Guess this acts as a good metaphor:

Dunno.. Pete Hines was pretty fucking salty about Sawyer ripping on their engine.. I am guessing he is the PR megaphone for how Bethesda as a whole feels about some snarky hipster shitting on their engine while they are under fire from the PS4 consumer base.

Wow nuclear postapo AND steampunk? Two of my least favourite settings combined with Todd Howard, torpid gameplay, plastic artstyle and 2006 graphics?

Ign goty 9/10.

It's finally fucking time to post this again

 

[StaticSpine]

The trailer is p. meh.

 

[toro]

The zeppelins make me think about Arcanum/FFX, the colourful palette makes me think about Rage and tbh there is nothing new that makes me think about the original Fallouts.

There is the song, the vault door, the power armor and the "War, war never changes" but all of them together have the charm of a creatively bankrupt corpse. Not really surprising considering the origin of this trailer.

You find yourself aboard the IFS Zephyr, high above the Stonewall mountain range...

Hell no. Obsidian got monetarily buttfucked so hard by Bethesda/Zionmax that they sure as hell won't work for them anymore. Obsidian has way too much dignity and self-respect to...

At this rate.. MCA could probably finish his let's play on FO4..
