Fallout 4 (PC/PS4/XB1) | VR (Vive)

[notorious bum]

I still plan on getting this after I finish NV, but holy shit this game looks like a muddy butthole at high-res.

Those look like XBOX/PS4 shots.

Edit: PS4

As far as a bethesda game goes this game looks gorgeous, if you're expecting significantly better then you're in for a rude awakening until the modders do their magic. I can't say much about animations but don't put your expectations too high, its obvious from videos with npc conversations their faces aren't animated very good. For anyone wondering about body customization in this game looks like you can only adjust weight like skyrim.

It sounds like for a Bethesda game the animation is pretty good, and again (for Bethesda) those are very good graphics.

Think some people forget how fucking ugly the Fallout/Elder Scrolls series looks without mods.

[Lonely]

Here we go, game is in full leak mode with screenshots and videos floating around along with all sorts of information. Obviously spoiler is your friend on discussion unless you want to be a douche.

Official Perks for those who want to pre plan their playthrough.

Dead yea but fallout wikia listed all the perks and probably other places.

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_perks

In case you didnt get the memo from earlier this year you have 28 SPECIAL but get 21 points to distribute and are required 1 per stat. Skills have been removed from this game but instead you can level up perks. Perks have level requirements mostly for the upgrades it seems. 1 perk per level or you could put one more point in one of your SPECIAL.

Bleh, leaks already. Guess it's time to go into turtle mode until I get the chance to play.

My self-imposed blackout started on Saturday. Neogaf is dangerously cheesy.

[notorious bum]

I feel like texture modding will make a big difference, just saw those PC screens. Buildings look like flat pieces of cardboard, even with Ultra settings. Nobody will really care, though, as long as it doesn't run like ass, but those system requirements don't help for those on the fence, especially for those who haven't played FO.

[Tyrath]

Won't care how the game looks once I start roaming the Wasteland. Especially as a Boston resident I've been dreaming of this since those rumors first came out.

[Teknique]

At least for the PC version, I would expect a quality Reshade preset to improve things within a few hours of release.

[Anoat]

My local game shop usually breaks the street date a day or two early, really tempted to get it from them and just play offline for two days, but I'm sure there is gonna be some crucial day 1 patch that I'll need

[Krandor]

Why would playing offline matter? Street dates get broken all the time

[Tyrath]

Because they might ban people playing online before the game is released?

[Krandor]

For a not-first party game? Astoundingly unlikely.

[Tyrath]

For breaking street date and flaunting it by being online? Not unlikely at all.

[Prothescar]

So, I watched this video of someone running from one corner of the map to the other. Spoilering everything out of courtesy, click at your own risk.

Spoiler: show

This is depressing. 11 minutes to get from 1 corner to the other, the world looks bland and unexciting, in fact it looks like mostly recycled Fallout 3 and New Vegas assets with some updated lighting and textures. There are very few enemies... the map is so small, seemingly uninspired, and seems sparsely populated. So disappointing. Imo, Skyrim looked better, had a much larger map, and had a much more varied and interesting enviornment (yeah yeah it's a wasteland blah blah what do you expect, not a good excuse when you consider where it's set).

Honestly not impressed with most of the stuff that's leaking so far. Not at all. I expected much more.
