Here Is Your First Fallout 4 Trailer

This and Xcom 2? Oh be still my beating heart. Then again this is Bethesda we're talking about so this is a "Buy when they fix all the f**king bugs!" for me. I've been burned too many times by their poor quality control to give them a preorder.
So from what I'm reading in the comments, the reaction to a new Fallout game after 5+ years is a resounding, proud and defiantly noble "Eh, sure why not?"
Truly a reaction for the books.

It's why Deserts work better than... east coast. Deserts in their own right are incredibly beautiful, and have a lot of aesthetic diversity. They also work well with garbage being thrown on it. There are also a lot of other places in America where you can have dilapidation from an apocalyptic event that I think would be better than more drab destroyed city on the East Coast. Vegas worked because I feel desert works much better as a filler aesthetic than green wastes, it also had a lot more character to the map despite I think it was overall a smaller map. Fallout 3 was just drab... and I really hope 4 is not as bad.BloatedGuppy said:
This looks terrible. The engine is clearly old and the graphics suck.
I bet it will be filled with glitches and I can see from the trailer that the plot makes no sense. What a waste of time!
joke. I just thought I'd try and get in a few nonsensical comments before others do it for real.

Considering how Fallout 3 and Skyrim turned out, I can't say I have the faith in Bethesda anymore.
So what are we thinking on release dates? The first Skyrim trailer went up in early February 2011 and the game came out in November 2011. We're well past February but aiming for the Christmas season would seem like a smart move on Bethesda's part. Sounds like they'll also be showing gameplay at E3 in a few weeks, so maybe its more done than we think.
If they do have a voiced character, I'm against it. I'll forgive 'em if they allow us to turn it off, or he actually says what the dialogue says unlike Shepard, the amount of times I facepalmed when I picked a dialogue option and that Space Canadian said something completely different has left a permanent imprint on my head. On the Gamebryo thing, it's most likely on the "unique" engine Bethesda made for Skyrim seeing as gamebryo went bankrupt or what have you, or maybe it's the Wolfenstein engine, a guy can dream.Ishal said:
At this point it's less the tech limitations of the consoles and more so the amount of time it takes an artist to actually create an asset at the resolutions we are working with. If we want the same variety we had in the mid 2000s while still having the pixel density of today, stuff is just going to take a lot longer to produce. That and space.hentropy said:
I'll definitely buy this game brand new. Maybe this time I'll get to work on the community patch that makes it playable. Fallout never disappoints me, so it'll be money well spent.
Says you, Gup. I personally like the gormless mute that I can inhabit without any distractions. That's better than the Shephard way of doing things.BloatedGuppy said:
I'm here to pilot my created character through the world. The world is what matters. The places, the factions, the characters. All the other characters can be voiced, and should be. But I'm tired of the voiced protagonist trend especially if it's a dialogue wheel or short quipy statements, then the character says something completely different anyway
I'm finding it hard to get excited for FO4 at the moment with The Witcher 3 in my library, that game is gonna take me about 2 years to complete anyway.
Kind of hard to have a world premiere event at E3 when you've already announced the product.
Also, if they limit character customization in any way I'll pass by the game completely. It'd be like making a GTA game where you can't steal any cars. At least it looks like they are making it for current gen stuff so it won't be ham-stringed like Skyrim.
I'm hoping that if the character is voiced, that it just reads the lines of dialogue that we pick. That's all I ever really wanted in a voiced character in a game like this. Otherwise, it's pretty much what I both wanted and expected: more of american wasteland as a vault-dweller.the7ofswords said:

This is my thought as well. Not only that, but we're piloting a character we create through the world. That's likely the case. With Shepard it made a bit more sense. Everyone's Shephard was different, sure. But in the end we're all playing Commander Shepard. Same deal with Geralt. Stuff like that being voiced? Okay, sure.Willy Rogers said:
But this? Eh, seems like a unnecessary distraction. Not really going to help me get immersed in the world to such a significant degree. But I guess different stroke and all that. It's just that with games the like the Witcher III and others, I get it. We're playing a game but it's the story of a character. But here? It's character creation stuff. Not really needed. But I suppose having the option to turn it on or off would be okay.

Well it's been 5 years since NV and 7 since FO3, I understand they probably waited until they knew what the current-gen consoles would be like before really doing the hard development. It's no surprise that it's harder to have these big-open world games "fit" on consoles, but when it gets to the point that it barely looks this-gen? I mean, it certainly looks a lot better than FO3/NV so that certainly helps. I might be judging it too harshly right now considering it's hard to tell what is and what is not actual gameplay or world scenes.Colt47 said:

Remember, this is Bethesda. Don't freaking preorder, or buy the damn thing it until we have confirmation the game goddamn works. Like, out of the box. Please?
You're gonna ignore me, aren't you?
Goddamnit. It has a dog. I kind of want it now just because of the dog.
