makes my choice of which console to get this on more harder!...

TheGreatGamer3236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

If you don't have PC but have both consoles I'd go with the Xbox One version because they're partnering with MS to bring mods etc. to the xbox one and although they hope to bring them to PS4, it will be after Xbox One (if it happens)

Transporter473236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

The mod tool is not even going to released until next year anyways. I have both consoles, but I am getting the PS4 version. The mod will be on both consoles. He said shortly after the pc releases than xbox than ps4, but who knows. Sometimes they release them at the same time.

GameNameFame3236d ago

So really. Given PS4 having better hardware and almost always better graphics, you can say PS4 version if you go console.

Locknuts3236d ago

This seemed like a pretty logical response to me. Lol at the disagrees.

slasaru013236d ago

You forgot Fallout 3 for free with F4 on Xbox

jmac533236d ago

And it comes with fallout 3 which leads me to believe that they had to port it over to the new architecture so it will be eventually released for PS4 as a priced standalone.

4Sh0w3236d ago

nah only real difference is thanks to BC you will automatically get Fallout3 for free on X1.
http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-...

-meh, Fallout games are great, I just never really got into them, didnt even finish F3.

zeuanimals3236d ago

I don't even know if it'll work well for every console. Mods can be system intensive depending on what they do. The small mods will probably work but the bigger ENBs probably won't.

DarXyde3236d ago

Depends on the nature of the mods.

I find the PlayStation community has much better creative inspiration than the Xbox community. The things in LBP seemed a lot cooler than what was seen in Project Spark IMHO.

Again though, depends on the nature of the mods. Since the beginning, the community in LBP has done some incredibly creative workarounds to features the game lacked at first.

dcbronco3236d ago

I'm not sure I would automatically choose Playstation. One thing people have been silent on is that all of the games on Xbox One seem to be 1080p now. We have been told over and over by so called experts that DX12 and Windows 10 wouldn't make a difference. Yet here we are with nothing but 1080p games. If the difference was marginal at first it is a complete nonfactor now. Time to let the superior hardware thing die.

The reason to choose one console over the other would be the API used to make the PC version. If these will mostly be PC mods, and they will, it best to go with Xbox if DX12 was used and Playstation if OpenGL was used. That way you have the best chance of mods working seamlessly.

NCAzrael3235d ago

That's right up until the FOSE, or whatever the first script extender is called, gets released, at which point mods won't work and it won't matter. Granted, basic mods will still work, but most of the extensive stuff won't. I've even heard talk from a few of my old modding buddies that they'll make sure their mods require the script extender just to troll console players. Not that I agree with the practice, as I think console players should at least get a feel for what they're missing from a lot of games, but it doesn't surprise me.

UKmilitia3235d ago

what u have to remember is it will all come to ps4,but will be delayed because of MS deal.

end of day mods aint gonna be out day 1 anyway so timed isnt really an issue.

3235d ago
CuddlyREDRUM3235d ago

They are bringing mods to both Xbox One and PS4 at the same time, as far as I know.

LordDhampire3235d ago

If this game runs at 30fps, what do you think its going to run at with mods?

Mods on a console are a waste of time, it will impact performance to much

fathertime19803235d ago

@jmac53 fallout 3 is because of backwards comparability not because if an ypdate. Sorry boss..

Also for the other comments by those individuals about the ps4 version going to be superior, let me ask. Are you sure? I mean come on your hust making comments for rhe sake of comments. Lets be constructive here

Cueil3235d ago

a ton of misinformation on mods for the PS4... it's not an exclusive deal with Microsoft... the word "hope" isn't used with time exclusive deals. It's much more likely that what they said, Microsoft has been working extensively to get this working, is the real truth.

RumbleFish3235d ago

" Fallout 4 will run at 1080p 30fps on both Xbox One, PC, and the PS4"

I'm pretty shure it will not be 30 fps on PC.

UltimateMaster3235d ago

Wow, even locked on PC?
I guess they didn't want to play favorites or "which system is better".

WickedLester3235d ago

@ TheGreatGamer

Not to mention the fact that the X1 version is coming with a free copy of Fallout 3 via backwards compatibility.

Most multis really. The only games I buy for PS4 are exclusives, sports to play with friends and some shooters to play with friends.

Elit3Nick3236d ago

Agreed, I'll be building a PC later on with likely a GTX970.

Fallout 3 is included for free with the Xbox One version.

Hroach6163236d ago

Where has that been said? Generally curious because I haven't heard that yet. If that were the case I don't see it not happening with PS4.

Kingdomcome2473236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

It was anounced on stage @ E3 as an exclusive Microsoft bonus, as is the case with Rainbow 6 Siege being packaged with the previous two Rainbow 6 games on Xbox One. I'm sure this was due in part to the backwards compatibility announcement. http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-...

extermin8or3235d ago

Yeah but the game can be picked up for single digits of money. Hardly a selling point.

343_Guilty_Spark3236d ago

You can stream to PC or tablet with the X1. Yu can even do remote play if you configure a VPN.

Magicite3236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

30fps On PC? You cant be damn serious!
Oh, wait, its only 30 on consoles, phew.

ABizzel13236d ago

Why even complain it would have been modded for 60fps within the first month of release.

Valenka3236d ago

What article did you read?
The one here said 30FPS on PC, Xbox One and PS4.

NCAzrael3235d ago

@Valenka

No, he said "It'll be 1080p on everything" and then confirmed it would be 30fps and not 60. Anyone who has ever played a PC game knows this is already excluding the PC, simply because every PC game this century has the ability to change the resolution. They aren't going to lock it to 1080 for the PC, which means they aren't going to lock it to 30fps either. By "everything" he clearly means consoles, and I guarantee he'll either release a statement to clarify his comment, or some other news site will call him on it and he'll clarify his comment.

Fin_The_Human3236d ago

Has mods been confirmed for the PS4?

I need to know now so I can decide which version to buy.

mkis0073236d ago

They have. Limited time after pc and xbox.

DanzoSAMA3236d ago

Fallout 3 and mods only on Xbox One version.
http://kotaku.com/xbox-one-...

NCAzrael3235d ago

@DanzoSAMA

No. Just no. They have already said that they will work on bringing mods to the PS4 as well. It just depends on if Sony allows it, which they are pretty sure will not be an issue.

EliteGameKnight3235d ago

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Todd Howard say that he was going to try to get them on the PS4, but it was ultimately up to Sony, meaning that it's a maybe situation, or was it officially confirmed?

Valenka3236d ago

Like always, it comes down to personal preference. Pick which console you use the most, or which one is lacking games compared to the other.

That's what I narrow it down to when there's no extra perk to choosing one over the other.

RomanPSX3236d ago

Already pre order pip boy edition on xbox.

ATi_Elite3236d ago

4k 50fps on mine.

4k 30fps after graphics mod

magiciandude3236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

I am going Xbox One for this. This is mainly because Xbox One is my primary console of choice, but there are also benefits over the PS4 version. PS4 players won't enjoy mod support at launch and there is no Fallout 3 included... not even a ported PC version.

MRMagoo1233236d ago

Fallout 4 wont be enjoying mods at launch on xbone either.

NCAzrael3235d ago

And more than likely it won't enjoy many mods for long. Every Bethesda game since Oblivion has seen the release of a script extender. These are 3rd party programs designed to work alongside the game to give more freedom in mod development and make for more robust scripts to be used that the game couldn't handle by itself. As soon as the script extender for Fallout 4 is released, any mod that requires it to work will not work on the console versions simply because the consoles can't run a script extender. Add to that any mod author who wants to be a dick and doesn't want their mods to be available on consoles can simply make their mod require the script extender, and there goes your access to those mods.

Back-to-Back3235d ago

"PS4 players won't enjoy mod support at launch"

Along with PC and XBOX One users. Todd Howard said the GECK wont be released until sometime next year.

CaptainObvious8783236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

If that's the case, I'm assuming the PS4 has a little few extra graphical enhances such as better lighting or better textures, etc.

I'll still be playing this regardless, but it will be a real pity if parity creeps up again.

RaTaTaT3236d ago

The ps4 will probably have more grass. Wait this game doesn't have much grass. It will have more trash. PS4 will have the definitive trash edition.

JsonHenry3236d ago

LOL! Yeah.. I'll be playing it after a simple change on my PC at higher framerates. Nice try Bethesda.

otherZinc3236d ago

@Am-No-Hero,

Mods aren't coming to the PS4.

ziggurcat3234d ago (Edited 3234d ago )

yes, they are. quote from the link above in case you're never going to click on it:

"UPDATE 6/15 5:50PM: Bethesda says PS4 will also have access to mods, not just Xbox One. Hooray."

Andofaus3236d ago

The choice is pretty easy imho mate, X1 performance continues to improve almost all games will be 1080p from now on with some running at 60fps also, something the PS4 has yet to achieve. And on top of Fallout you also have Tomb raider, Forza 6, Fable Legends, Gears and Halo 5! All this year it's a no brainer really.

SlightlyRetarted3235d ago

I don't give a shit on what platform you are going to buy FO4, but why you have to lie about X1 games? None of those games will run 1080p/60fps.

Leaguer3235d ago

1080p from now on?..sure sweetheart..whatever makes you xbone kids sleep at night.

GenuineGamer3235d ago

Forza 6, halo 5 and gears are all 1080p 60 so how is he lying?

And yes most if not all games will be 1080p on xb1 from now on. Even mgs5 is confirmed 1080 60

Its no secret xb1 software was not up to par with its hardware at launch ontop of having a new unique architecture for devs to get used to meant some xb1 games underperformed. Not for lack of hardware capability.

Xb1 is a great system guys I really wish people would stop hating on it already.

SlightlyRetarted3235d ago (Edited 3235d ago )

Again lying or stating rumors as facts. Please show me proof that they are 1080p/60fps.

Ratty3235d ago

Indeed it's a no brainer. None of the games you listed interest me in the slightest xD. It's all a matter of taste. Just play on your X1 and I'll play on my PS4. It's a no brainer really.

GenuineGamer3235d ago (Edited 3235d ago )

@slightly Retarded

Both forza 6 & Gears are 100% confirmed 1080 60. Halo is also def 60fps and all halos in MCC are 1080p 60 so I'm expecting 5 to also be 1080p but no official word on halo 5 yet.

not really since bethesda games last gen were awful on the ps3

showtimefolks3235d ago

Day one buy for me on ps4(I only have time for one console), I hope fallout gets a smooth launch without any gaming breaking bugs or glitches.

Ps4 will also be getting mod support.

I would love for bethesda to release both fallout 3 and fallout new Vegas along with all the dlc on ps4 and Xbox one. And do the remaster on this new engine

Whichever console yiu are buying this is your choice but do you fanboys get some extra pleasure in saying my console is better or we will get this or that exclusive?

I mean grow up and enjoy the ganes, what is it to you of something is exclusive or not as long as you get to enjoy it

Fanboy logic is very illogical

thelwebb1003235d ago

Go ahead and buy it day one then. I'll be laughing when you guys are butt hurt because it'll be broken and buggy at launch just like Fallout 3,Oblivion, Skyrim etc. Don't say I didn't warn you!

Xb1ps43235d ago

I'll get it on xb1.. Am I the only one that does this because of the suspend and ease of back and forth with the tv? I mean I just love playing for a while then pausing the game watch some tv then getting right back into the game.

MAULxx3235d ago

Anyone can pause the game & hit one button on their remote and watch tv.

Xb1ps43235d ago

Maul... You just don't get it.. that's what happens when you only have one choice, "it all seems the same"

Or you just have a very basic entertainment center..

PistolsAtDawn3235d ago (Edited 3235d ago )

Nah, this is easily an X1 title. Mod community from day one, and Fallout 3 BC for free...easy choice. Anyone pretending it will look noticeably better (or better at all) has been drinking from the marketing koolaid bowl and not paying attention to actual results. Games these days barely have any difference visually anymore...and lately there have been just as many that run better on X1 than PS4 as the other way around when there is a difference at all. That PS 50% more powerful hype is done.

Edit: The odd thing is that I JUST came from an article about FF7 coming to X1... and the people there saying that there was no point in waiting ..whatever frame of time... for that game to be on X1, they are gonna get it on PS4. Now on this article where there's a clear advantage to getting it on X1...now these exact same people are saying that for NO reason at all...they are gonna get the PS4 version....hypocrisy much?

No offence but with that graphics , should be 60fps

It doesn't work like that, plus it's obviously a huge open world.

Gamer7773236d ago

The game is open world. It's rare for those types of games to be 60fps on consoles.

Fin_The_Human3236d ago

Have the announced the size of the map...it has to be at least 3 times bigger than skyrim to convince me that the size of the map was the reason for the poor graphics
.

GenuineGamer3236d ago

pretty sure they said its 3 times the size of skyrim so bang on enough for them to convince you lol

PSN_ZeroOnyx3236d ago

Map size isn't the only factor. One example is the number of set pieces and items littered throughout the map, both above ground and below.

P.S. I loved FO3 and FONV and Fallout 4 looks amazing compared to its predecessors.

dillhole3236d ago

I'm with you on this one. I'm not saying it is possible, obviously, but at this stage in gaming, we should be past this obstacle.

ssj273236d ago

I bet the game is good I personally didn't saw anything special for the old ones(maybe because it look really bad and all i heard was how buggy the game was or is. But putting excuses on why it look like it does witch for me it looks decent this time is accepting lies. Look at Horizon Zero down witch it supposed to be as big and even if is not it will be close and look at the gameplay itself is beyond better any other game. My point its no need to hate on someone pointing out facts just because it hurts your feeling people.. come on .. lets stop giving free passes to this devs who are lazy. Ask for them to make the game better specially bug free witch is my corner with this game.. I will keep my eyes on it but I won probably buy it unless they show thibgs that nake me change my mind.

They aren't going to be dumb enough to lock it to 30 on PC. Like most PC games, the framerate will depend on your rig and settings.

Great news for us console gamers.

Didn't think Fallout 4 could get any better but it just did.

PC_603236d ago

Not really it should be 60fps as the gameplay matters most?

cfc783236d ago

Not exactly a fast paced game so 30fps will do just fine 60 fps would of more than likely caused more problems than it's worth on console so i'm more than happy with 1080p 30fps.

BecauseImBatman3236d ago (Edited 3236d ago )

If the game was designed with 30 fps in mind then (animations, scripts, cinematics etc.) it will not matter much running it at 60 fps on PC. Plus it's not a twitch shooter, will not matter much for the gameplay in the end. So it should be equally a good experience on console as PC (especially with the inclusion of mods).

@cfc78
Exactly I think 1080p @ 30 fps for a game like Fallout is more than enough...

Fro_xoxo3236d ago

that's nice, i guess..
focus can actually be on the game itself :)

Fallout 4's next-gen upgrade launch could have gone better

Digital Foundry writes: "It's all a bit baffling. Patch notes describe a 4K 60fps performance mode, a 4K 30fps/40fps quality alternative (depending on whether you are running on a 60Hz or 120Hz display) and a 1440p ultra settings variant. This seems to have been delivered for PS5, but there are problems with Xbox Series X. The performance/quality mode toggle does not work. The evidence suggests that Series X is locked to performance mode only. Disabling this on Series X doesn't seem to change anything - and visuals are notably cut back not only up against PlayStation 5's quality mode, but also against the Xbox One X 4K 30fps back-compat variant you could play last week."

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.

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 20h 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 23h 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 16h 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 13h ago (Edited 1d 13h 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 12h ago (Edited 1d 12h 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

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.
