Nov 2, 2015 Omg enough with this "it looks like it came out in 2009" crap. Yes the facial animations and stuff are bad, but thats because they don't model each and every face. Bethesda games have always had s-----y facial animations, but it's still a big step up in that regard.. The environments and the world itself looks gorgeous in my opinion. Just take a look at this PS4 screenshot. For comparison, here is a fallout 3 screenshot from 2009 Quite the difference I would say. To say the graphics arent as good as witcher 3 is one thing, but to say they look like theyre from a 2009 game? Cmon bruh
Nov 2, 2015 fools over here acting like this isn't fallout 4 and they ain't gonna become neckbeards once it's time to play everyone cried skyrim was a step backwards from oblivion when it came out yet here we are years later and skyrim is "omg goat" i'll take my next gen bethesda game now thank you
Nov 3, 2015 see thats the thing you're comparing fallout 3 which also looked like absolute garbage upon release. people always give bethesda a pass for s--- animation and graphics becaaue they've ALWAYS had s--- animations and graphics. saying it's a step up from fallout 3 is kinda irrelevant because, like, it's been 8 years. it should be a step up. it'd be laughable if it wasn't. it's still a step down from comparable open world games. especially the animations. the anti aliasing is also dog s--- and the branches on the trees look like gifs from the early 2000s. even the bullshots had hella jaggies on the guns in first person mode. h--- even in that picture you posted the textures are s---, the anti aliasing is pretty much non existant on the grass/tree branches and the grass is just floating there, shadow-less. that's another huge problem. nothing in the interiors in this game have shadows. not the appliances, chairs, decorations, anything. they're all just floating there in space it looks so artificial and fake and it's mind boggling how a game that they've supposedly been working on for 4 years (lmao yeah right) looks this unpolished and this s-----y. they're lazy hacks at bethesda that don't know the meaning of the word polish and they probably will still be using the same animations for fallout 5 in 2021. and it'll probably still sell millions of copies. it's fine to not be interested in graphics or for them not to be a selling point to you but it still looks awful for a game made in 2015. And yes, it looks like it's a "good looking" game from 09 in still shots. the problem there being that 2009 was almost 7 years ago. it just goes to show how f---ing lazy they are as a company and that this game will most likely be a buggy mess like skyrim, fallout NV, fallout 3, oblivion, and every other game they've released on their s-----y engine that they just won't update because then they couldn't get modders to fix their game for free anymore. skyrim was s--- and its pretty much the vocal minority that didn't maintain that stance. pretty sure it needs mods to even be playable but i didnt keep it long enough to finish it.
Nov 3, 2015 you played for 5 minutes and gave up didn't you shawn..you gotta get immersed in that s---.
Nov 3, 2015 i almost played the whole main questline. actually i was getting bored with it anyway but the final straw that lead to me selling it was one of bethesdas fine quality assurance representatives let a game breaking bug through where you just literally couldn't finish the game. the npcs you were supposed to talk to just didnt reply. also factions were shallow af menus s----d noskills bugs and glitches everwhere on top of literally reusing fallout 3s s--- animations looked like s--- level scaling sorry riles it s----d m8
Nov 3, 2015 possible spoilers see this looks cool and they actually improved the power armor so that it makes you a f---ing tank but on the other hand it literally forces you to take it early on in the game as a part of a mission, and it seems kinda silly that you need this big tank of an armor suit to fight these guys and that death claw, but the f---ing dog (or any other companion you have) has nothing and is completely invincible and can not be killed. s--- like that annoys me. i really hope you don't have to take companions with you and you're able to just leave them.
Nov 3, 2015 yeah one of my biggest worries is that you'll be stuck with the dog. companions are almost never a good thing in games.
Nov 3, 2015 man i really dont mean to be continuously posting about this but come the f--- on LITERALLY looks like fallout 3 with a mod to remove the green tint
