Fallout 4 [PC:G]

because you're posting information about a game that isn't out yet without putting it behind spoiler tags?

This thread and the general one is full of information like that. All the promotional material has revealed WAY more about the game including interviews saying how big the map is (users pointing out they expected this map size). I feel like the minute I say anything critical about this it just gets post-purchase rationalision snarkiness and almost a vested interest to make the info be less seen.

I swear half of the boardsies sound like they work for Bethesda's marketing department. Then again Bethesda does literally hire astroturfing contractors... so yeah.

If the map size is comparable to Skyrim

But not comparable to Fallout NV.

I have a sprint mod installed that works basically the same as sprinting looks in Fallout 4, roughly the same speed and you run through AP at seemingly about the same rate. Just ran from the Mojave outpost in the southwest corner of the map up to the boomers in the northeast, going in as straight a line as possible and sprinting whenever possible. With god mode enabled because otherwise I would have gotten f'd up by a bunch of things. Took about 23 minutes. The green line in pic related is the course I followed.

Also you just said that you don't mind an 8th generation console game with focus on exploration being the same size as its earlier iterations on 7th generation hardware. I do not share the opinion that such a thing is fine.

And what is 'between' it is yet to be seen... but it's definitely not danger that's for sure.

Can do that all in Fallouts when outside. You have played these before yeah?

Yes I have. You can't outrun a lot of enemies before they mow you down. Both with ranged or melee. Ever see a cazador?

I would have thought most people could figure that a link in big blue writing saying "LEAKED FOOTAGE" could contain spoilers no?

Blue!? URL's are Orange for me. Is that because I have the dark mode on?

It was the bits outside of the link that people were complaining about.

Fallout 4 Map Comparison

3 New Leaked Screenshots

I hope the landscape on the map is more varied. My main issue with New Vegas' map was that one end pretty much looked the same as the other.

Anyway, I finally completed the Dragonborn expansion for Skyrim and got that out of the way, so I'm ready for 'Fallout 4' and another life sapper.

As a few others have said, having a gigantic empty map is utterly pointless. Give me a smaller map with more to do any day of the week.

And as for those screenshots, the textures are horrible, but i doubt that's anywhere near max quality.

I don't know what the graphic settings are. Would not be surprised if it's max. There's always a few areas where they put the work in to make them presentable, but overall modern Fallout/TES games look pretty low end especially now that they're fully designed around consoles which really ruined NV. The Strip... never forget.

For textures... do you not remember previous games? They had to patch in 'HD' textures to the PC version at a later date fully showing they based the textures on a console release. Even their HD updates left everyone unimpressed. For good textures you pretty much have to wait for mods.

Some quotes from around the stream leak

environment is destroyed in the exact same way as it was shown in the E3 trailer
it's all scripted

• streamer keeps plinking supermutants to death with a f'ing pipe pistol and dying
  
• HE HAD A MINIGUN THE WHOLE TIME
  
• BOSS IS AT 30% HEALTH AND HE PUTS THE MINIGUN AWAY AND PULLS OUT THE PIPE PISTOL AGAIN
  
• TAKES 3% SHOTS IN VATS
  
• MYSTERIOUS STRANGER SAVES HIM

picture from stream showing Super Mutant pathfinding. (very compressed picture, not useful for graphics critique)

If I find a VOD of the stream I'll post it... I don't know if there is one though.

update: another user screenshot

The FoV thing has me worried now aswell, thats the reason I went back to pc gaming tbh, later FPS's on 360 had gotten so ridiculously narrow I was feeling dizzy playing them, surely just a simple tweak though.

I like a big map in Fallout tbh, seeing things off on the horizon like the glow from New Vegas or the Robotron factory was pretty special, if its Skyrim sized thats fine though.

If the pc version has a .ini file then it should be a simple edit to get the game looking better.

Really hope the same ~ commends are there. When you want to just look around without interruption you can't do better than 'tcai'

A zombie mod would be pretty sweet for this once you complete the main game.

Yaaaaay....Dogmeat!

Console commands will definitely be there.

Unconfirmed but where I got all the leaks people were reporting that no .ini or console commands unlocked it. It just might need a mod or update.

Lads pardon my ignorance but what's the advantage of console commands in this game?

A lot of the time, when there are bugs in the quests (particularly before many get patched or mod-fixed) console commands might be the only way to progress those quests, or find lost NPCs, items, etc.

Folks, am I out of luck with a GT860M? Should be okay with the rest of the specs

Think i'll always have a soft spot for fallout 3 graphics, still look good many years on to me.
