I think it is the Skyrim engine again, when Skyrim came out they said the engine would be used on two titles.

Major groan then. It's a last gen engine on next gen consoles, and it wasn't even a good engine at that. The trailer itself looks so boring and generic, like it doesn't seem unique at all. I'm imagining it'll end up like Skyrim: a lazy, repetitive game that only becomes worthwhile when it's modded into a different game.

It does look like a shit Bethesda game.

The engine looks super unimpressive and after the mediocrity fest that was Skyrim, I can't say I'm hyped.

I agree with you on everything except for the "I can't say I'm hyped" part.

I'm hyped simply because it's a new Fallout title. I don't particularly care what engine it's on, though a newer one would be much appreciated.

This is almost as good as "Half-life 3 confirmed"

I admit I can understand where you guys are coming from when you talk about the vibe of the game.

Huh? I thought you like Fallout.

Where's my Wii U version?
Well, there goes the thread.

I do, I just don't like Bethesda and even this doesn't look good to me. It's just a mediocre trailer showing off a mediocre engine that's full of the same shit Fallout always has. You could have said this was Fallout 3 and I would've believed you. It looks lazy and uninspiring.

New Vegas at least had a new location (the sunny west instead of the drab and dreary east) with a ton of interesting things. This looks so... boring. Plus Bethesda doesn't make good games, they make terrible engines that are easy to mod into decent games... that still crash and fuck up a lot.

The in-engine footage is underwhelming - they still haven't learned how to render fur properly, the dog looks like it's made of plastic, the shadows are all over the place, but I'm afraid I'm too biased to comment because I just love Fallout and I'm excited for this. :P

Pack up ladies, we're going to Massachusetts!

In which case it's an hour drive for me...i'll...bring a soda.

As much as I love Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim(spent thousands of hours on them), I never got into the fallout games.

It just lacks.. "life". I dont know how else to describe it.
Not a hater, I have given fallout 3 and NV a few tries.

Hoping for ES6 announcement :D
Oh gee it's almost as if it's a post-apocalyptic game trying to simulate the world post-nuclear war. What did you expect? There's a reason it's called the apocalypse.

Just hope they update that trainwreck of an engine they had from FO3 to skyrim. Even only the modding tools would be enough, I trust modders to make better stuff than bethesda anyway.

Hmm, what a surprise, Guild doesn't like something.

I'm rather excited. I don't play video games because they "look good," even though I think the game looked just fine, and I'm sure it'll look even better when it's actually released (or when it gets modded). Let's just hope we aren't looking at a 2017 release date.

Exact opposite for me. Love FO3/NV, tried getting into ES, just find it lacking... something. Not sure what, but it doesn't draw me in like Fallout.

I've never really been a big Fallout guy but whats with the dated PS3 graphics? is that normal guys? is the world suposed to look like that, bland in color? there where some scenes that looked almost next gen while others where lacking at best! I'm not bashing the game as I have never really played the serious just wondering :)

Too many colours for a Fallout game. Fallout 3 was composed entirely greeny-brown greys. Even the people.
Considering the range of responses in this thread, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. I don't like the unnecessary tints game makers use these days. In The Witcher 3, everything was kind of... yellow. I had to use SweetFX to make it look better. I mean, I understand having glows/tints in certain locations. Pools of radioactive goo? Sure, make the surrounding area green. But Fallout 3 was too excessive in that regard.

Being sarcastic about it having too many colours but the palettes in Fallout 3 were so bland and limited that every time I looked away from the TV I thought I was on LSD or having a stroke or something.

Fallout 1&2... There will never be another one like you...
NMA Must be going ape shit right now, haven't visited that place in months...
Why must there be a dog again? Dogmeat was just a joke back then, look what it is now, It's like COD: Ghosts all over again.
And the Intro with the Camera panning out (It didn't even do that, did it? It just followed A DOG) is usually there to give a first impression of what you're getting into, not just some marketing crap.

Also, who's going to be the villian this time? Enclave was bad enough, what did they pull this time?
Meh.

All these people complaining about graphics when they plan to play it on console. It's because of people like them the graphics are held back by console limitations. Once again.

Only true PC game coming out soon is Star Citizen and I can wait for all of the tears and "boohoo my Intel HD HP laptop and mobile video card can't run this game".

PC gaming is a joke. Need more developers making games for PC not console and PC as an afterthought.

Skyrim doesn't run on the same engine as Fallout 3/NV, it runs on Bethesda's own proprietary engine while the Fallouts ran on a heavily modified Morrowind engine. Nitpicky, but hey.
