Fallout 4 mod support will work similarly to what's possible in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, according to game director Todd Howard.

Mods! The glory of PC gaming.

Now coming to ps4 and xbox one

OC_MurphysLaw3272d ago

well technically not confirmed for PS4: Howard - "Then, they'll become transferable to Xbox One, and after that, hopefully to PlayStation 4 as well"

They're being pretty cool about it :). I hope there will be a way to play an unfinished/farting-around mod that I make (and put on USB). Also I'm pretty sure they should disable XBL achievement/trophy support for mods, I'm sure it's a bigger deal than Steam achievements.

someOnecalled3272d ago

as much as i want it to work but i doubt this is going to happen on console, if it do it will be short lived. remember what happen to linux and ut3 on ps3. the locked the system down after someone found an exploit. most likely the mods is going to be heavily regulated and basic skin mods. its more to mods than just gfx and skin mods on pc.

They didn't talk about the only thing I want to hear about... whether they are going to pull a paid mods crap stunt again.

I'm beginning to imagine a picture in which Microsoft wanted money for bandwidth "as they do" (look up developer costs for updating there games). Being the reason the whole paid mods thing came about.

I wouldn't in anyway object to a donation system for mods which Steam might be ok with but I can't see Microsoft easily adopting an idea like that.

Either way it would be unfortunate if piratebay became the Fallout mod HQ

Mods are gonna make Fallout 4 one heck of a game to play for about as long as it takes until we get The Elder Scrolls VI.

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.

bondsmx18d ago

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

anast17d 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."

helicoptergirl23d 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

Furesis23d ago

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

Vits23d 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.

anast23d 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.

anast23d 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-Smurf23d ago (Edited 23d 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.

MrDead23d 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.
