Forums - Gaming - Fallout 4 Pre-Release Screenshot vs Release

Nothing wrong with downgrades. Means there is still plenty of room for upgrades next gen!

Fallout's lighting isn't very good. It's hard to see sometimes, both during the day and night. It's time for a new engine. The game is a lot of fun regardless. I've been using a glitch on the console version to get around the size limit for settlements. So far it's all still running fine with over 50% more build as it initially let me after clearing out most of Sanctuary. It's starting to look like a real town.

Definitely looks better in the original shot, but I've seen much worse downgrades.

Yeah, i still don't care. I'm having way to much fun playing the damn game.



It's the same with other games this gen and the last gen to an extent, Witcher 3 got downgraded as well, don't see it being fair to just rag on Bethesda for this let alone it's graphics which their games aren't primarily bought for anyway.

The above shot can be attained through some modding which will no doubt happen with modders on PC (console mods are not going to get every mod under the sun let alone handle all of them so lets be down to earth on that).



Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.

Wow they did a great job keeping it that close. Can't wait for a gen with more powerful consoles.

Well the coloring of the photo was touched up in photoshop. I fixed up the ingame photo matching the pre-release photo's grading. I'm still saying not much is really that important. The light being yellow makes it less stand out. Than the blue one in the pre photo uses. Everythign else seems to be removals. Probably to keep the FPS up. The engine is fairly crap. Which is probably why they did it.



Watch dogs would like you have a word with you, sir.

I mean, considering this game is PC first it's not hard to believe they used that version running on max settings. Plus the game was announced with mod support so that's easily a way for them to make an excuse if we're really gonna make an issue out of this. They have so many ways to justify this if necessary, it's not even worth trying.

If anybody trusts the graphics in a Bethesda game that's his/her fault though.


Except that you can't even get those graphics at max settings on PC as snyperdud showed. The Pre Release graphics aren't possible on any system because they don't exist lol.


There really wasn't a noteworthy difference other than in the one instance of lighting though. You're acting as if it's night and day, when it's marginal polish/optimization outside of the one aspect - one aspect that Bethsoft fans knew from day one was not truly showcased in-game. 

 

And again, mods. Bethesda explicitly stated mod support would be a thing immediately upon reveal. With all due respect, your argument is wholly irrelevant because of that, since they can just say "we used mods lol." They built in a failsafe from the beginning. Not that anybody was calling Fallout 4 good graphically, either. It's a poor looking game, which is to be expected because again, it's Bethsoft. Nobody is going into Fallout expecting Crysis, or even CoD. They're going in expecting an often glitchy experience with shitty graphics that they'll play for months because it's fun.



You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt!  I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading.  After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

I got the game how is it
Should i give it a try ?

Who doesn't use bull-shots and touched up game-play trailers to promote though? It gets people hyped and it works everytime.

Nintendo?
