I don't get the whole graphics as an issue thing. I did some 3d work in cpp a while back and that shit is hard. Coming from the 90s were everything was 16 to 256 colors at 320x200 and flat as hell, these sorts of games still amaze me. That said, I use a decent PC. It was high end when I built it three years ago, and it is still more powerful than the XboxOne and PS4, but it is starting to show it's age. Just a little. One graphics card update and it'll be back near the top. The CPU is a 3570K, so not too bad. The graphics card is a nvidia 465.

I hope this comes out at the same time as Xcom 2. I need to bounce off of two games to keep from getting saturated.

I liked Morrowind, and Skyrim but disliked the story in Oblivion. When I first heard of Fallout 3 I was like, what's fallout 3? I played it and thought Oblivion with guns! I totally played the crap out of it and it's DLC and then hit NV and it's DLC. I liked the story lines for both. I tried to play fallout 1 and 2. I didn't like them. The cities felt repetitive and I found myself playing it less and less until I just stopped. Thankfully I got them both on GOG before they were removed due to Bethesda.

As for the trailer. I'd prefer in-game footage. I kind of hope that vault 111 was opened early and we get to see the fallout. That or it's opened much, much later and we see what's become of the overworld as it recovers.

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

The, uh, apocalyptic nuclear wasteland didn't have enough life for you?

For all the PC master race folk here, you can apparently pre-order Fallout 4 for $46 on Green Man Gaming currently using the offer code they have right on their front page. Apparently the newly added pre-order is not one of the unnamed exemptions to that code's use. I have no idea how long the deal will be available for, so if you want a Steam copy on the cheap, this may very well be the best deal that comes up until some time post-launch.

Edit: At the same time, it's a Bethesda game, so it might be worth waiting until the game is going for that price naturally after launch so that you know the various patches the game will need to be even semi-functional will be out.

Looks interesting. I'm also one of those who loves the Elder Scrolls games but haven't gotten into the (later) Fallout games. I've tried to get into Fallout 3 a couple of times, but there's something that feels off. I can't put my finger on it, so maybe it's just been stress or something stopping me from enjoying it completely.

Don't worry, if it's the same engine as skyrim, we'll have 2K textures on PC in the first couple of weeks of release like last time. No problem here. Bethesda's games may not be the prettiest, but they have such open and moddable games. I'm excited, even if people moan.

is this a prequel to the events of Fallout 3 with 101?

They kept nodding back to "before the blast" in the trailer. When Fallout 3 started after the blast and vault dwellers were already adjusted to living underground. And Hero 101 emerged. Would be interesting to start the game and have about 5 minutes with a peek at 40's future-esque life before the "Fallout" besides just getting clues from the debris and rubble.

I agree with Guild though....it looks way to much like fallout 3. it really looks like the same game. It's a officially a new fallout game so i'm hyped as shit though. Maybe the Dog will look better in the final product? The game is most likely not finished yet

Weren't they saving this for E3?

I'm really excited.... !!!


...to actually find out what this game is actually about. All of this is an introduction movie. It doesn't give anything about how the actual GAME looks, feels or plays. But at least it's something to look forward to on the E3 coverage. :)

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.
Yeah. It runs on the next gen Creation Engine. Its kinda Oblivion still lol.

Lol I must be mistaken then. But it runs on creation engine.

Skyrim was built on the Creation engine, which is based on the old gamebryo engine, but built by bethesda as a dedicated engine. It's basically Skyrim's engine. It's probably still DX9 as well, knowing how lazy they are. If it is DX9. I can slap an ENB on it.

Dx11 at least. But as its gonna be a new game, dx12 possibility.

There's no guarantee of that. Skyrim was released in 2011 with only DX9 support, DX11 was already supported by a large number of games like Arkham City and Battlefield 3, just to name a couple. Bethesda has a habit of releasing games half finished, full of bugs and using outdated technologies. I'm not a fan of their development practises, but i'm still going to play and enjoy this game, even if it is a buggy mess.
