I think its a given it will be on nextgen.

I'd rather get it on PC though.

0ut1awed3830d ago

For sure Kipsta.

The mods for Fallout 3 and New Vegas were nothing short of amazing.

GarrusVakarian3830d ago (Edited 3830d ago )

This is going to be my reaction if they announce Fallout 4 at the VGA's:

Not much of a Fallout fan, but I'm interested to see what it looks like.

Yes! I can't wait to explore 100 cut and paste dungeons populated by the same handful of enemies regardless of their location. I can't wait for an infinite number of randomly generated fetch quests. I can't wait for that realization 5 hours in that there really is no point to exploring in a Bethesda game, since every house is devoid of character, lore, or purpose.

Hey Bethesda, hire the guy who writes the one or two good quests in each of your games and fire the guy who writes the rest.

ELpork3830d ago

You didn't play Skyrim did you?...

ifritAlkhemyst3830d ago (Edited 3830d ago )

I own and have played every Bethesda game back to and beyond the Terminator stuff. I buy them cheap, because I'm waiting for them to actually fulfill the potential of their series. Sadly, they seem more interested in making things larger and emptier than making any improvements.

mkis0073830d ago (Edited 3830d ago )

I love them for a few weeks but he is kinda accurate. New vegas was by far the best bethesda game....and it was made by obsideon. They need to stop worrying about sizes and go for content. Not to say they don't have content...But a lot of it is the same. The bugs ruin their games...they don't handcraft each area. Makein sure each place you visit has a purpose. They still never fixed the problem of way to little voice actors.

jocomat93830d ago

@mkis007 i strongly disagree. I have platted both fallout 3 %100 all dlc and new vegas. And i didn't get the FNV dlc trophies. You want to know why. Because They were boring and you can tell they rushed and thrown in. Same with with the base game. Fallout3 was better because it had way more memorable missions. New vegas had little better gameplay but missions were empty and less memorable.

Blacktric3829d ago

"Fallout3 was better because it had way more memorable missions."

jocomat93829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

Blacktric Haha really? Blowing up megaton, killing tenpenny, alien dlc, chinese stealth suit nuka cola quantums to sunsparilla caps? really? Let me guess you must of played new vegas first. yet fallout 3 has better score on metacritic and GOTY even though NV has improved gameplay. So if it wasn't the gamplay that made FO3 better must of been the quality content then. Yeah Im right.

NukaCola3829d ago

Guys

Don't hate NV. Both are amazing. FO3 had the campaign but undeniably New Vegas felt deep and just as amazing.

Blacktric3829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

"Let me guess you must of played new vegas first."

Bought and played Fallout 3 on release day. Same goes for New Vegas.

"yet fallout 3 has better score on metacritic and GOTY"

Maybe I shouldn't even bother replying, considering you are going for the "hurr durr metacritic score is higher" shtick that only some mindless fanboys love to rely on. But here it goes...

Save for the big chunks of the main questline, New Vegas had both better and more quests. If you include the post Dead Money DLCs, the superiorty becomes even more apparent. In 3, the final stretch of the main quest becomes pathetically methodical. In New Vegas, you have branching storylines of different factions that leads to different endings. Yet you are sitting there, telling me that "convincing a sophisticated AI to destroy itself by just talking" was more memorable than helping an isolated community of ex-vault dwellers, that has enough firepower to destroy half of Mojave, to unearth a bomber plane that they'll later use to help you during final battle or removing Caesar's tumor and then having the option to sell him one of your companions to be his personal doctor/slave.

Side quest wise, New Vegas is also superior. You have wacky quests like "Come Fly With Me", "There Stands the Grass" and "That Lucky Old Sun" or quests with over arching stories like Return To Sender that can take more than an hour to complete if you haven't discovered some of the locations. And these are all in the core game. With DLCs (especially with Old World Blues, which is considered to be the best Fallout DLC by many people while Mothership Zeta is loathed for many reasons including having a god awful level design and raping the lore of original two games) you get even more variety.

Add the fact that New Vegas having bigger level cap, more and varied weapons, weapon mods, streamlined skill system, explorable vaults that are designed to have completely different feelings and stories of their own that can be discovered, exploration that is not reliant on copy pasted metro tunnels and much more morally ambigious quests, you'll see which game has the better quests and was also the better game overall. Or not, considering you've already proclaimed yourself as being "right".

Edit: As a side note; blowing up Megaton was used as a marketing gimmick to trick people into believing that the game was going to have morally amibigous quests that'd let the player change the course of the game, much like in Fallout 1-2. In the actual game, blowing up Megaton is one of the stupidest things you can do since it's one of the few big towns the game has and since it has no effect on the ending or anything else that matters really. Dad mentions it at the final stretch of the main questline and then drops it completelyi destruction gets mention in mundane NPC conversations and Moira becomes a ghoul. That's literally it.

jocomat93829d ago (Edited 3829d ago )

Blacktric weird. Cause if new vegas did have a better storyline or quality missions that made it more memorable then Fo3 then it should have got around the same score or better. especially since the gameplay mechanics were improved greatly over FO3. But right now we can only argue our opinion but mine is more supported by reviews on metacritic. (which is a collection of opinions.)So your the minority. True the plane mission was a good mission. Remember starting out as a baby in FO 3 though?Behemoths, bobbleheads? You like NV better i like FO 3 better. Both r great.

gaffyh3829d ago

I agree with jocomat9, Fallout 3 was a much better game, better story and less buggy. But New Vegas was also very good. Hopefully this rumor is true.

Hope they clean the game up
3 was a good game but a damn bug fest

0ut1awed3830d ago

While I don't agree with your statement, It sounds like you need to invest your time in some mods.

People put some really good time into all sorts of things including completely custom, innovative, and simply awesome quest that even have complete voicework included.

unjust753829d ago

Exactly, but skyrims not like that. Too bad they won't reveal Skyrim 2. I'd much rather have that. Fallout story kinda boring.

A next-gen Fallout would be nice for sure.

JunioRS1013829d ago

it's definitely time, that's for sure.

MattyG3830d ago

This isn't even a rumor. It's just "well, they've announced things there before and it's been a while since we saw a Fallout game, so maybe. Now give me clicks". Way to get my hopes up.

nope1113830d ago

I will eat my boxers if true... I seriously hope the Boston rumor is legit, such a great setting for a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Massachusetts was also reference in Fallout 3 several times too.

obelix013830d ago

I'd like to see NYC. But hell with the size of content next gen systems are capable of why not two major cites?

nope1113830d ago

As a proud New Yorker, i completely agree. Post-apocalyptic NYC would be amazing. Oh those subway tunnels and skyscrapers. hnnnng

How To Solve Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Performance Issue On OLED Steam Deck

Despite being verified for the Steam Deck, Fallout 4 has issues running on the OLED version of Valve's handheld device. Here's how it works.

Isn't this a better and easier work around?...

There is a partial workaround that adds the Fallout 4 launcher back  ;to the Steam Deck version of the game. Players need to add “SteamDeck=0 %command%” to Fallout 4’s launch options in the game’s settings on Steam Deck. But it’s wild and not great that players have to do this just to change visual settings while playing on Valve’s portable PC.

Fallout 4 next-gen upgrade woes continue for some PS Plus users

Some PS Plus subscribers can now access the next-gen version of Fallout 4 after Bethesda addressed concerns on Thursday, but others have still been left in the cold.

gold_drake2d ago

yup, worked for me a few hours ago

MrDead2d ago

This update on PC kills mods, they still didn't improve or fix the draw calls and if you have an RTX card the game still crashes unless you turn off debris.
So if you mod the game it now looks worse, plays worse, all of your saves are broken and the game breaking bugs are still present.

purple1012d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Good work detective

Bethesda strikes again, always thought their games were a tad boring anyway, this was even before Microsoft brought them. Used to quake 3 team arena to death, on an old pc, at the time it was new, fresh, fast paced and innovative, their games these days, are none-of-the-above

Michiel19891d 18h ago

Ever heard of a game called Doom or Wolfenstein, detective?
Also quake 3 arena was made by ID, which at the time wasn't part of Bethesda.

Profchaos1d 21h ago

Yeah I've had friends rebuy the game because the ps plus didn't work and they used to own the last gen version sold off the physical after the PS plus pack included fallout when they got the ps5.

So overall I know ms has likely warned quote a bit from this error.

Barlos1d 14h ago

This game hasn't aged well. I was really looking forward to the update, but I'm just not enjoying it. I never did get on with the settlement building and raiders, and I still don't. I won't be going back to this now.

mkis0071d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

Settlement stuff was way undercooked. Too many settlements and QOL updates are needed, and can only be added by mods...which disable achievements. The game does 2 things better than past games: Gunplay and scavenging.

Profchaos1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Have to agree settlement stuff was boring and dull but I loved the game outside of that still do. But next to other games is it's era like witcher 3 it always felt a little stuck in the mid 2000s

anast1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

They aren't really missing much. I've been playing it for awhile and it's just a polished turd. Low effort, hyped up like a full release.

Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Has A Bugged Out Quality Mode On Xbox Series X|S

The next-gen update for Bethesda Game Studios' Fallout 4 currently has a bugged out Quality mode on Xbox Series X|S.

anast2d ago

Ha! They messed up the Xbox upgrade.

GamerRN2d ago

It's not messed up. This mode runs 60fps 1440p with ultra settings. If you want to see the other modes, disable 1440p somehow.

anast1d 8h ago

The S doesn't have ultra settings.

Ironmike2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

They have and they haven't just download 60fps and ultra setting mod and gane looks great

GamerRN2d ago

And Ultra Settings ... @1440p. It's working as expected. There is a star that states in the patch notes that if 1440p is available, quality mode will stay in 60fps 1440p with ultra settings.

Barlos2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Surely not! Bugs with something from Bethesda? Get outta here!

Father__Merrin1d 14h ago

I noticed that performance mode on or off both 60fps which is best mode to use then?

BeRich2331d 14h ago

"On" does seem to perform better too me.
