GameCentral talks to Bethesda’s Pete Hines about the future of the company, Fallout 4’s graphics, and why Bethesda wouldn’t publish Rocket League.
Usually it’s pretty pointless talking to someone with a job title like Vice President of PR and Marketing. They’re not directly involved in making games and it’s specifically their job not to say anything controversial or unexpected. But Pete Hines has been at Elder Scrolls and Fallout publisher Bethesda for 16 years now, and in that time has become one of the figureheads of the company.
A new update is now available for Fallout 4. This update adds the ability to manage your control over graphic fidelity or performance and addresses some further stability and visual issues.
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.
I had to stop. The game is not good. I'd rather play Skyrim and that game isn't that good either.
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."
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
''‘Who are the folks that we respect? Who are the folks that we’re interested in working with and what might we be able to do with them?’ I mean, that’s how we ended up working with somebody like Arkane, and they ultimately ended up joining us. That’s how we ended up with Id, that’s how we ended up with Shinji [Mikami] and his team at Tango.''
I bet anyone a hundred bucks that they will talk to Kojima about joining them.
Mikami and Kojima working on a game together would be **** ing awesome.
"No, I mean what would you think if I’d gotten up on stage at the showcase and I’d said, ‘Here’s our bright colourful 3D platformer.’ You’d be like, ‘What in the hell is going on?!’"
LOL! I like that guy!
Kill children? :3
I worry they're over hyping this. I hope it's a asterpiece but making statements like that often doesn't end well.
Of course he's gonna say that, this is coming from the PR dude of Bethesda.
