fallout 4 Launched

November 15

EDIT:

FO4 is launched most places now, (except Japan?).  Ending updates to this thread.

Looks like Beth has released an official Fallout 4 trailer.  World has gone to the dogs, one car has the brotherhood icon painted on - just before we see an 'inert' brotherhood in full battle armor ...  is s/he really inert, or just watching? 

http://bethsoft.com/en-us/news  more news June 14 at 7PM EST from their E3 conference.  Use twitch.

Trailer at LA Times:  http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc-bethesda-confirms-fallout-4-in-development-20150603-story.html

Doesn't seem like this is another 'fake' trailer.  

I'm excited... your thoughts, hopes, etc?

No additional 'pip boy' collectors editions will be produced. - Beth http://hothardware.com/news/bethesda-cant-produce-more-fallout-4-pip-boy-editions-despite-fan-outcry

Also, based on posters / in game artwork, their *maybe* combat in the Sea of Tranquility.  That's on Terra's moon... space travel?  ( I will update this entry as solid info becomes available.)

 September 1-2, 2015 -Three new articles:

1) FO4 won't be as bleak as FO3, society has already commenced rebuilding.  Beth says the protagonist once lived in the pre holocaust world, so themes of emotional loss will be explored.  http://www.inquisitr.com/2385612/fallout-4-wont-be-as-bleak-as-previous-installments-of-the-series/

June 9th: Beth announced that FO4 will have a massive increase in dialog. Stated that dialog in FO4 will be greater than FO3 and Skyrim combined.

http://www.technobuffalo.com/2015/09/08/fallout-4-script-length/

..............

Unlike its predecessors, Fallout 4 will be uncensored in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland when it launches on Nov. 10 this year, Bethesda confirmed on the German Fallout Facebook page.

I love what they have released so far about Fallout 4, but I also have some fears about what they haven't.

I mean its cool that u get to customize weapons, build bases and so on, but so far I have seen surprisingly little actual question, exploring, interesting places and so on.

 

I fear that they may have focused so much on all the new blingbling they may have forgotten what really made fallout games good: the interesting open world exploring and the finding or new OP stuff, resource management and so on.

Reply #54 from Elemental Forums Top

The only thing I think Bethesda has consistently done brilliantly is their world design.  So I wonder, where does this fear come from?

Reply #55 from Elemental Forums Top

Yes, Beth makes great designs - and the modding community has great tools... and lots of experience.  I definitely want that combo to go... directly to my PC....

I never buy season passes, because it is very rare that i consider all DLC for a game a must have. And most times they are not even that much a bargain. Often, if you just skip one of those DLCs you come away cheaper.

Well, and more often then i like, when i finish a game at last there will be a GOY Edition with all the DLC on a sale for like €5.  >_>

6 November 2015 - FYI: Pre loading on steam has begun.  Users on Reddit are posting frustration that the FO$ box has not arrived yet, so they cannot commence with preloading.

FO4 is launched most places now, (except Japan?).  Ending updates to this thread.

Judges are in! It's glitchy and shitty on consoles. And if you're playing on 100+ fps your game will move ~30% faster than those on 60 fps! Also the usual nvidia gameworks shenanigans have put their stamps on things like godrays etc. All par for the course nowadays.

Yes, its the beth tradition to release these games (Elder scrolls / Fallout) with a  few bugs.  I trade that off with the extremely robust modding community that loves theses games and lavishes love on 'em.  I play on a mid range PC, and the only glitch I found, so far, is very occasionally my pip boy screen goes blank - always after playing many hours.  Save / reload fixes.  Nvidia jive- will have to look into that - is new to me.  Thanks for heads up.

Incidents tend to stand out, the smooth riding not so much. I've had to restart one quest due a glitch, and that was an early one. It is easier to figure out this stuff with all the online resources though, as opposed to the old days when you had to order the fix through physical mail, on a floppy disk. The process could take weeks! People claim to be impatient and annoyed about mere minutes today. I have to laugh! Hahaha-hahaha-ahhh-hahhh. That was good! Now where was I?

Good value for money, after comparing actual play time to the investment itself. Oddities, glitches and some missing audio detected. And at least one misaligned rock. Not too shabby, all in all! That, and they have cats! Best Fallout game with cats ever!

I agree, I am like totally happy with the Fallout 4 rollout.  Yes, I am sure glitches happen (not to me so far!).  But the modding community will polish this game up to the max.  Script extender is out, maps with roads, the obligatory nude mods, embellishments of the settlement building system, and many graphics enhancements. A 'better' HUD will, I expect, be out very soon.  Totally happy I am with Fallout4 rollout.
