Fallout 4

[Red October1984]

I'm very very very excited for this.

It's going to be the game that decides which next-gen console I buy.

A PC, then?

Still clunky character models and bad textures.

I hear you, didn't look much better than Fallout 3 to me. I mean they don't still use the Gamebryo engine on that do they?

Why would anyone want to play such a game on a console?

At least the colour palette has been increased.

Sweet Jesus yes. Got so sick of staring at boring grey everything in FO3 that I sometimes would close the game out of sheer bleah. Fallout 4 turned out to be so much better looking it's hard to describe.

Damn good game in my opinion. It certainly sucked me in better than most games manage.

Seems somebody has finally made a PC mod to stop Preston Garvey from assigning all the stupid settlement quests. After the GECK drops, it should be available for console users.

I loved FO3 environment of all the games.

If you like dreary and grey, it was certainly your game. Worse, there was a whole trend of games and movies both looking sort of colorless about that time.

Couldn't stand it. It's my least favorite visual cliché, beating even unnecessary lens flare.

You mean a neutered PC surely? Last console I've seen was the PS2.

I'm hoping they do a good job keeping to the fallout retro atmosphere/look, and don't try to be "super duper creative".

Love these games. Fallout 3 is a all time favorite. Looking forward to 4!

I do like the new visual design, though the graphics and animation definitely seem sub-par. In any case, while I enjoyed Fallout 3 I definitely hope this takes more cues from New Vegas, though I doubt Bethesda is capable of writing a game as well as that.

That's my feelings about it, I personally liked NV way more than FO3. Though we will see, lets hope it's story isn't as bland and unimportant to the game as Skyrims.

It would require Bethesda to come up with a decent story and good/interesting characters with depth. Not exactly Bethesda's strong suit so I'm not holding my breath. They have shown in Skyrim that they don't learn from Obsidian and follow the same route as always: huge nice map with awful stories/campaigns and cardboard cutout characters as in the games before. I don't expect an improvement on that.

I want this on console mainly because of the other console games I plan on enjoying and also upgrading my family/tv/entertainment room.

I have an Xbox 360. I love it...but it's getting pretty old.
