Very nice. Im sure many may start a new game to experience it all over again in better performance. I just did the same with FO3.

Obscure_Observer36d ago

New game for me too.

That black power armor from Enclave and the new Tesla Cannon looks badass!

GamerRN36d ago

I've had 60fps on Series X already since it launched. Is this different?

Tacoboto36d ago

Maybe try reading the article, or even the description below the headline.

That 60fps is the system-driven FPS Boost, this is a full current-gen optimized release making its way to PS5 too alongside other updates impacting all versions.

--Onilink--36d ago

In terms of performance, not really. FPS boost was already getting the game to 60.

But they are adding some other fixes and adding some stuff for free from the Creation Club

darthv7236d ago

Yes. It is native Series X upgrade instead of using the XBO back compat game with FPS boost.

GamerRN36d ago

Ok, so it'll be 60fps just like before, with the same 4k upgrade it already had.... Got it

Tacoboto36d ago

Maybe not. That's a wait-to-find-out. FPS Boost on Series X runs in the One S mode as opposed to the 4K One X mode. It could be that the new Performance Mode is actually tweaked to the new consoles instead of the base-last-gen mode, and Quality should obviously be improved over that One X mode.

GamerRN35d ago

Fallout 4 stays 4k in fps boost mode...

Tacoboto35d ago

No it doesn't. It runs in the One S mode.

GamerRN34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Ok, maybe, who knows

GamerRN34d ago

I love how people are such Richards when you ask a question... Why can't gamers just be helpful? Why do people feel it necessary to be so mean instead of just answering a simple question?

Tacoboto33d ago

You attempted denying a fact, after you asked a question that's literally answered in the description of the article.

Who's the Richard, the one giving you the right answers or the person not bothering to read?

It's such a good game. Still play it on pc every so often years after release. Can't wait to try it on ps5.

VenomUK35d ago

Will the PS5 version have DualSense updates?

I know Sony mandates that PS5 games must have but I don’t actually know if a PS4 game updated to PS5 also counts.

ocelot0735d ago

Not to sure. I hope it does that would be great.

I also loved fallout vr on pc. I hope they bring fallout 4 vr to psvr2 but I doubt it.

ZeekQuattro35d ago

You'd think after damn near a 4 years people would stop calling current gen next gen. I know 2020 was an unprecedented year but damn. 🤣

Profchaos35d ago

Agree IGN still run a next gen console watch for machines we've had since 2020 it's becoming a joke

isarai35d ago (Edited 35d ago )

I dunno, with how slow of a start this gen has been compared to others, i kinda get it 🤷‍♂️

How nice of them to give us more control over graphical settings as a way to *completely* avoid taking accountability for the broken Xbox settings.

bondsmx3d ago

Well, I still crashed like 5 times last night within two hours. So there’s that.

anast2d ago

I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.

I Think It's About Time We Realize Fallout 4 Wasn't That Bad

Ahmed from eXputer: "2015's Fallout 4 received harsh criticism upon launching, but I think it was unwarranted and the game deserves more praise than it got."

helicoptergirl8d ago

It was totally that bad. I couldn't finish the campaign it was so bland and boring as I recall. Got so sick of it. 1000 stimpaks on hard. It is very rare that I play half a game and then just quit. I usually always finish it. But i was so bored with this game I just stopped and never went back and never regretted it. Just thinking about that game makes me shudder

Furesis8d ago

That's exactly what happened to me too lmao
Fallout 4 is not a fallout game period it's a bethesda game

Vits8d ago

The comparison with Skyrim is mind-boggling. Yes, Skyrim has streamlined many of the systems that Morrowind introduced. However, it did not tamper with the core of the Elder Scrolls franchise; it did not diminish the freedom and sense of exploration that made Bethesda RPGs famous. Fallout 4, on the other hand, did exactly that to the Fallout series. It eliminated what made Fallout such a beloved series to play. There are no consequences for your choices, no reason to explore, and barely any interesting set pieces in the game.

It's not terrible, but it's a painfully mediocre game in a franchise that typically doesn't produce such mediocrity. So that is why people see it as bad, the bar is just much higher.

anast8d ago

They both feel the same because they are, it's just that one has swords and magic and the other has swords and guns.

anast8d ago

I'm replaying it now. It sucks. I'm about 30 hours in and thinking about quitting again. I am so tired of the dialogue I just spam a random button because it doesn't matter. The upgrade just feels like a graphical mod, everything else is not good.

Good-Smurf8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I couldn't play the game as-is it was insanely boring and grindy and the grind itself are not fun at all.
Mods helped me stomach the game a bit better but after a while I just stopped playing and uninstalled it because the game did nothing after the first few hours to give me any motivation to keep playing it, it just became a mindless looter shooter with obsession in settlement building and defending.
Compared to F3 and FNV, F4 was barely a mediocre game it wasn't bad but it's also very forgettable entry.

MrDead8d ago

It's not that bad after 300+ mods that fix it's issues and make the game fun... but lets not talk about mods right now as they are f****d.
