Fallout 4

Anyone know if Inon Zur is doing Fallout 4? The music was basically the only thing I liked about the trailer.

I wouldn't mind an upgrade on the composing myself. Not a big Zur fan.

Imagine Jesper hitting this. ;)

5 planned DLC over the first 6 months

I'd love a DLC that was entirely pre-apocalypse and ended with you entering a vault, and then a follow up that was entirely you living in the vault for the first year or whatever.

I'm not a fan of games that are so initially limited in nature that it's obvious they withheld content in order to release DLC (i.e. Sims/SimCity).

I'm a huge fan of massive awesome games that give you additional awesome content later on down the road via DLC (i.e. Oldworld Blues).
 
its the same graphics engine from 6 years ago, if someone told me it was for DLC i would have taken their word for it.

i'll still buy it.
 
WTF is that thing??? :eek:

Mirelurks walk on two legs. That thing has four...

Didn't notice that it was on 4 legs rather than 2. Most likely similar to a Mirelurk then - some sort of arthropod. Mirelurks were supposed to based on horseshoe crabs...so maybe this is just another mutated species of crab.
 
Nobody does post-apoc quite like the Fallout series. I MAY pre-order this. The last game I pre-ordered was Skyrim. So I'm doing well.

FO4's engine (Creation) is based on FO3's engine (Gamebryo), but its not the exact same engine.

Similar to how Source was day one compared to how it is now. It's graphically much more capable now that it was when it was released

I'm not saying the graphics are great, but when I first saw the trailer I thought the same thing, THEN I wen't and looked at FO3 screenshots......

Just got around to seeing the trailer, lol...gotta agree that graphically this is hugely disappointing. I mean it's better than stock Skyrim/FO:NV but...just barely. SO many better-looking titles out there. This is 2015 for fuck's sake.

Still will buy it, dunno about a pre-order though.

Those honestly don't look THAT different to me. FO3 or Skyrim with texture replacement packs is probably almost on par with what we've seen from FO4 so far.

FO3 and Skyrim were different engines.

One could argue graphical differences, I'm just pointing it out.

No they weren't. Both games were Gamebryo. Bethesda claimed Skyrim had a brand new engine but it is still very clearly a modified Gamebryo.

Actually this is false. Skyrim was actually built almost entire on, and from Gamebryo. But because Gamebryo had such a bad brand/wrap attached to it, Bethesda went very far out of their way to say they made a brand new engine for Skyrim. IIRC it was one of the first things they said before ever showing an image of the game.

Then Skyrim released and looked almost exactly the same, with minor animation and texture differences. Only after launch, did Bethesda go on record and admit that Skyrim was in fact, basically Gamebryo + enhancements.

edit. For the record, I think FO4 looks amazing.
 
According to EB Games Aus the release date is 2015

I felt Fallout 3's world was a bit dull and dry.

I felt you had to walk/run a certain distance(more so than other RPGs)before any interactions from enemies or NPCS.
But then again, it's post nuclear war right? I guess the feeling of desolate areas would be more realistic.

I hope they fill the piss out of the world with content.

3 wasnt the best, they did a lot better with new vegas.
 
Yes and no, yes, it's post nuclear world war, but it has been 200 years since the bombs fell in FO3, and the worlds seems still a little primative for a 200 year old post nuclear world.

I feel that while the game as a whole is actually quite impressive (barring the fact that not a lot of side quests interwine with each other, or even the main quest for example), the capital is too intact for civilisation of that level after 200 years (the whole city looks like it was derelict for 200 years more than it was nuked 200 years ago).

However, there are a couple of things I would welcome in FO4:

1. Possible/more romance options for you and your companion (all 3 combinations), either by progressively make them fall for you, or help them getting romance in another NPC character, and be awarded with unique perks.
2. Interaction between your companions, be it on duty or off duty. It was great in NV where you could stash all of your companions together in the Lucky 38, but given the number of people, I felt it was rather silent when actually inside the penthouse.

Retailers make up game release dates so they can collect the interest from your pre-orders.

Most retailers don't charge you until they ship the game, Amazon and Gamestop and EB Games don't.

Doesn't matter, all those preorders are a form of Capitol. Some people are millionaires/billionaires based entirely on what people owe them.

I agree. Mods helped with that and that's another area that I thought New Vegas handled better.

All told I still think Obsidian did a better job on New Vegas than Bethesda did directly on Fallout 3.

I agree with a handful of caveats.

I don't want to see Skryim's "radiant quests" system put in this where you can do a bunch of worthless filler BS forever in a causality loop that lends itself to most of the game's bugs.

I certainly don't want to see something like Dragon Age Inquistion where you have a good game with maybe 40-50 hours or so worth of meat and then another 40-50 hours with of absolutely ridiculous fetching bloat and annoying puzzles, either.

I liked the way quests were handled in 3 and especially New Vegas. Just continue like that and take it up a notch and I'll be thrilled.

I'd be happy with writing in a Bethesda game that isn't complete trash. NV didn't grab me as well as FO3 did but the writing was so much better. FO3 had a couple well done quests that I felt had decent writing but over-all it was painfully bad (especially the main story).

I agree. If there was some way I could have merged the strong suits from those two games into one new game it would have been ideal.
