i had Fallout 3 on PC. Was a great game. I didn't make it too far but i really liked what i experienced back then.

styferion3253d ago

oh man, now I'm feeling that nostalgia listening to classic song while butchering bandit camp.

showtimefolks3253d ago (Edited 3253d ago )

i saw the rumors of it being xbox one exclusive so i was a little worried but i am glad it's not.

fallout 3 was amazing
new vegas improved on a lot of things while also having a lot of glitches

here is hoping for best fallout to date

just a thought:

why couldn't they wait till E3? does this mean that they have even bigger things at E3? also part of me think this could be coming out this fall

zeee3253d ago

I have waited years for this. YEARS!! And it is finally happening. I am dead sure that it will launch sometime during holidays 2015 so hopefully, only 5-6 more months to go.

No Way3252d ago

@showtimefolks - My guess is to 'steal the show,' before there is a show.
Now, everybody is going to be talking about Fallout 4, nothing else.
I assume it will appear at E3 as well, probably more in depth.
Revealing at E3 it would be hidden within the other titles.

I'm too excited for words right now...

So I'm just going to say three little letters... OMG!

Can't wait..

PCGamingNoobs3253d ago

5 years since New Vegas. granted its a seperate team from elder scrolls and they have been working on fallout 4 since then... how far along in development are they / when will we be able to roam the wastelands listening to those old bluesy tunes

styferion3253d ago (Edited 3253d ago )

seeing the now-offline fallout4.com site had pre-order pictures I'm guessing it'll launch in a year or so, hopefully sooner than that.

Magicite3253d ago

Fallout = Skyrim in future.

IceKoldKilla3252d ago

Elder Scrolls = Fallout in past.

Same logic you applied. But next time talk more. I get what you're saying (hopefully). Gameplay wise it's very similar, being an Action RPG in an open world. Even dialog and missions work almost the same but the era changes a lot and that changes combat too.

BallsEye3253d ago

Just watched the gameplay trailer. I'm huge fallout fan but not that impressed with what I saw. As long as the world will be next gen in terms of possibilities then I'll be happy

SilentNegotiator3253d ago

No last gen...thank the God of gaming.

ziggurcat3253d ago

yeah, thankfully that rumour turned out to be false.

IceKoldKilla3252d ago

Yeah! That shitty rumor had me worried but I knew all along it was fake. How could they improve the game while having it run on 2005/2006 hardware? Anyway, I'm so freaking excited.

Kingscorpion713253d ago

All these third party games are more intriguing and amazing than the first party games so far. Witcher 3 is the best game out so far

Thank the lord it's next gen and PC only. We don't need last gen holding this (potential) masterpiece back...

jholden32493253d ago

Eh, I couldn't care less. I think that whole "holding it back" argument is just propaganda. How much difference does an EVER so slight graphical improvement really, honestly make? None at all. In fact I can barely tell the difference between a PS3 game ported to the PS4, and a game built ground up as an exclusive.

TheOneWhoIsTornApart3253d ago

I'm sorry to have to tell you this but I'm afraid you're going to need an eye transplant ASAP.

OpenGL3253d ago

Have you played The Witcher 3? I don't see how that could be on previous generation consoles without some serious compromises to the game.

BecauseImBatman3253d ago (Edited 3253d ago )

A true “next-gen” game would take full advantage of new consoles and push that technology. Nevermind that continuing to develop around old tech hamstrings a game at the gate, stopping it from reaching its full potential.

You think The Witcher 3 could been achieved if it was made for last gen too ? Rocksteady couldn't have achieved (they said that) the Batmobile in Arkham Knight if they hadn't let Last Gen go...

And this isn't just about graphics, it's about big open world, number of NPCs, loading screens etc. Last Gen Fallout had a loading screen behind every door, nobody on next gen wants that and if the developers had to pander to last gen then it may very well have happened. Last generation is over, games should move on. End of story.

TheXgamerLive3253d ago

Huge. Its not just graphical its well loading. Look at Destiny. Its the king if wait while loading and with current gen loads would be less or even removed. Same thing happened to the newest Thief game. So YES, its a huge difference.

Shineon3253d ago

What you just said was absolutely true, Ps4 and X1 couldn't even run GTA V at 60 fps and it's a last gen game. They're really trying to convince themselves that these gen 8 consoles are more than a meager upgrade to last gen consoles. PS3 and 360 were high end when they released while ps4 and x1 are barely midrange PC'S if that!

showtimefolks3253d ago

jholden3249

here borrow my glasses, you need them more

look at witcher 3
infamous 2nd son
ryse

and tell me last gen games could achieve that

mixelon3253d ago

Graphics are only a tiny part of it.

One generation of consoles has 256-512MB of RAM
The other has ~6-8GB of RAM

That makes a huge difference to what you can actually do in a game design, and does a lot to make open world games work better.

buttcheeks3253d ago

I can only imagine how broken this game would be on last gen consoles

jon3sy93253d ago (Edited 3253d ago )

wrong topic...edited

yellowgerbil3253d ago

I expect it to be broken on all 3 platforms anyways. Fallout has always been extremely glitchy. Part of it's appeal is in those ridiculous glitches. When sony announced the recording game footage feature I was so excited to eventually capture all the crazy stuff that happens out in the wasteland (flying deathclaws can now be properly documented)

Clunkyd3253d ago

I'm sure it will have its problems on Day 1.

BecauseImBatman3253d ago

Considering all the cross gen (last gen) games, has next gen really even started yet ? It's only starting for me with games like Batman and Arkham Knight coming out...

Dynasty20213253d ago (Edited 3253d ago )

There's nothing next-gen about the latest consoles.

They're using 2008-2010 hardware for god sake, they were 5 years old before they even came out.

Next Gen is things like DDR5 RAM, the latest core tech in CPUs, new GPU architecture.

Shit the "new" consoles dont have, which ruins gaming.

SilentNegotiator3253d ago

If every console/rig was an expensive high end rig, sales would be crap and the industry would collapse.

BecauseImBatman3253d ago

As SilentNegotiator said, sales would be awful if consoles were packing all this expensive hardware. DDR4 just released so how is DDR5 within possibility for X1 or PS4 2 years ago when they making these consoles ? The only reason why 360 and PS3 were so powerful when they launched was cause Nvidia and AMD weren't where they are today in the PC space. You clearly don't know what your talking about and console sales are up from last gen so no these consoles aren't ruining gameplay, graphics and resolution don't make games great. Story, characters, gameplay, content etc. is what makes games great. Not the best hardware on the market.

clouds53253d ago

Now you know how pc gamers felt the last 2-3 years of the 360/ps3 lifespan.

Looks too good for a sandbox game.

But if it is....

Dear lord contain my excitement.

Yeah the cloth next to the drawers looks too good to be in-game. The textures on the ground, the mountains on the far left and some of the vegetation looks in-game though.

Might be, but definately not for consoles. Likely the used some Gtx Titans *brace yourselves the downgrade nonsense is incoming* Ned Stark.jpg

At the disagrees: I wish you all the best if you think this game is going to come out looking like this

DrJones3252d ago (Edited 3252d ago )

It is in game, but keep in mind that the screenshot only focus on one small house a few meters away. If you watch the trailer you will see that the stuff around the house is not all rendered with the same detail. Draw distance come to mind.

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 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h 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

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 15h ago

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

BeRich2331d 15h ago

"On" does seem to perform better too me.
