I'm a big Fallout fan but those graphics.

Still clunky character models and bad textures.

I'm very very very excited for this.

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

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.

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.

I'd in no way shape or form have the massive number of hours in FO3 and NV if not for mods many of which actually make the thing playable. I couldn't imagine playing these gamed stock.

The story in Fallout 1 and 2 just slays the newer stuff though New Vegas was not shabby.

I must restart New Vegas, well...when I say that I mean, I must sift through the mod selection, create a mod soup and then restart New Vegas.

Preloading Fallout 4. Who else has made the purchase or intends too?

I was considering a purchase but after watching the trailer I dropped 40 quid on Obsidian's Pillars of Eternity instead.
