Fallout 4 Pre-Release Discussion [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[pippin]

Bethesda would have to compromise their larpy nature if they give a voice to their protagonist. Besides, imagine the rage if it's a male protagonist by default.

 

[tuluse]

Well, we do have a twitcher subforum already so I don't see why not.

Maybe we could even make a single subforum for twitcher and fo4, for maximum popamole.

Jaesun will finally get his wish!

 

[Whiran]

Trailer will introduce a new feature, color.

Yes, but which one?

 

[Morgoth]

Voiced protagonist is an automatic turn-off and foreign to the Fallout spirit. But then again it's Bethesda, so one more shit ingredient won't make the shit-stew taste any better.

 

[Renevent]

Someone posted the CSS from the site and it appears it's going to be cross-gen (360/PS3). Obviously doesn't mean it's a fact but I really...REALLY...hope that's not the case.

Revving up the hype machine so soon after Witcher 3's release? Not sure that's a good idea...

PA system failure has occured.

Subtle.

You need to turn off your brain to play the game.

 

[Lord Carlos Wafflebum]

The Eurogamer blurb speculates that it will have a voiced main character.

I sure as shit hope not. More often than not voiced protagonists detract from the game, and the only way I can take Bethesda writing sem-serious is if I imagine the protagonist says everything really sarcastically or super ironically.

A voiced main character also makes it pretty much impossible for modders to add new dialogue that doesn't seem out of place. Voiced NPCs are enough of a hurdle, a voiced PC is cancer for quest mods.

I pray they realize this. Mods are the only reason people are still buying Skyrim.

 

[Killzig]

Trailer will introduce a new feature, color.

Yes, but which one?

Maybe they'll just have two of those replicant/androids from the institute before they get their meatsuits (instead they'll be shiny and chrome, get the FURY ROAD tie-in) singing 'underneath the arches'

 

[Abu Antar]

Will buy if developed by Obsidian. If it's developed by Bethesda, I will wait for a GOTY edition with all the DLC and get it for €5.

 

[Lord Carlos Wafflebum]

The teaser is black and white. The game should be black and white. A game should be made for the color blind these days. Why is there so much internet outrage supporting trannies, yet none supporting the color blind?

Revving up the hype machine so soon after Witcher 3's release? Not sure that's a good idea...

Someone already alluded to the purpose being to bury BT4 KS campaign. I don't want to sound paranoid but it's a suspicious coincidence that PoE release just had to happen between GTA5 and TW3...

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I doubt Beth's current fanbase gives a shit about BT or Fargo.

Will buy if developed by Obsidian. If it's developed by Bethesda, I will wait for a GOTY edition with all the DLC and get it for €5.

So you'll buy anyway...settle down, you rebel, you.

Someone posted the CSS from the site and it appears it's going to be cross-gen (360/PS3).

So it won't just be held back, they're putting it on the short bus.

Of course this is going to be cross-gen, it's been in development for 4 years or whatever? It's probably built on the bones of Skyrim. That CSS means nothing though, that's the main fallout site for bethesda.

Well at least my toaster will be able to run it. itssomething.jpeg.

Disappointing if true, but not surprising given the bulk of F4's development has already transpired when the PS4/X1 wasn't even out yet.

 

[Lord Carlos Wafflebum]

I'm just pumped I'll more-than-likely be able to still use my shitty dual core to run it. Pre-order of collector's edition, here I come!

I might even shake my fist at the screen if the game is not developed by Obsidian. I will have to use my inhalator afterwards, but I like to live wild.

That's probably true, there's even some references to Fallout 3 in the CSS.

 

[likaq]

I hope it will be cross-gen.
I want to laught on 2008 graphics.

 

[prodigydancer]

I want to laught on 2008 graphics.

And I want to laugh at properly modded "2008" graphics beating the shit out of nextgen.

The chances that this will be cross gen is like 90%.

What cheaply-produced, carcinogen-laden plastic bauble will they pack in this time?
