I wasn't even a fan of the other games. But this looks awesome.
Did they mention if it was running on console or PC?

I don't think it could be discerned from the vids which platform, but when in doubt assume PC!
Nope. They just said it is running on their net-generation creation engine.
It is probably fair to assume it is PC footage. Companies tend to show of their best version.
One thing I like about Bethesda RPGs is the amount of customizing. And this game takes it further by allowing crafting of gear and house. I see myself making a fort with lots of mines, and then making cool assault rifles with scopes and like the video, big bulky armour.
Oh yeah. I'm getting this one.
The overall vision just came together for me with this iteration. It looks like a crazy Pixar movies.
I'm too lazy to rewatch a F4 video, but when the video is showing the inventory and someone flipping through all kinds of gear, if you look closely at the parts section you'll see tons of parts, which I assume lead to tweaks.... stuff like Plastic 35132, Plastic 75256 etc.... So even for bits and pieces there are still differences to them.
Looks like it could be running on the Xbox One. You can see the A, B, X, Y button icons in the video.
This will be the last thing I say on the game for the night.
I think part of the reason why I was so disappointed in what we saw of Fallout 4 was because I assumed Bethesda was a certain type of company. One with specific values I appreciated.
Fallout 3, which came out forever ago, was brilliant technically. Sure it had some jank, especially over time, but it's world and stories were so big it didn't matter.
Then came Skyrim, which to me, was a giant step up in terms of cleaning up the jank and making the visuals look significantly better.
I guess part of me just expected Bethesda, who had so much time and money, not to mention new hardware, to really blow the doors off with Fallout 4. They didn't do that.
Honestly though, if you're anticipating the game then more power to ya. Don't let a few haters ruin your parade.

Good catch. Although devs have been known to use Xbox controllers on PC set ups.
I agree with you on the animation. Everything else looked good to me. Loved the art and the lighting.
Good to see that your anti-Fallout 4 posts all night were a farce.
Skyrim was a good looking RPG, but it did not clean up the messes of Fallout 3. It was just a different setting. Both games still had the same kinds of game engine, weird physics, bugs and the PS3 version was crippled beyond belief where it had save game corruption and could run in single digit frame rates. Both console versions ran at more inconsistent frame rates and had more screen tearing than F3 too.
Goes to show you didn't even play Skyrim.
Good night!
Yeah, it could be PC but who knows. The game isn't about graphics so Bethesda should be able to get it running great across all platforms.
The one thing that surprised me how much better it looked than the reveal trailer. Nope it's still not a groundbreaking looking game, but this is good enough. I also noticed that animations are definitely improved over their previous games and you can especially see that when they walk around in third person. It actually looks quite decent now and that means i'll be using third person camera a lot more.
I also like how conversations are not zoomed in anymore, but more similar to a BioWare RPG and the protagonist has a voice, love that. The crafting with weapons looks AWESOME and i really dig how you can create your own little spot..your own home and actually defend it. Oh and i forget to mention armor customisation. How awesome was it when the vault dweller stepped into that power suit armor? I WANT THISs*** NOW.

That it does, and it is coming in November
What an awesome gen this has been for RPG lovers, and we still have several more to look forward to
I might have to get the X1 version, if this is exclusive to that platform (although he didn't say it was, so who knows).
"Fallout 4 mods made with the PC version will work on the Xbox One version.
"Bethesda Game Studios chief Todd Howard took to the stage during Microsoft's Xbox E3 2015 press conference to say mods created on the PC will be able to be transferred, played and shared for free on Xbox One.
"Meanwhile, Microsoft announced Fallout 4 includes a free copy of Fallout 3 on Xbox One."

I played through FO3 three times , FO NV twice , if we get Mods on the Xbox one I'm breaking all records.
If this game is going to be the usual 60 bucks its gonna be a steal.
are these likely to break the game, though? A lot of mods on PC tend to not work great or break something.
Yeah, I'm not sure how they'll handle it. Certainly it won't be all mods, just a subset. I'm assuming someone (don't know who, Bethesda or MS) will test the mods before they are released, but I don't know how this will work.
Pre-ordered the Pipboy edition for PS4. Will sell it on ebay..
This game looks a mixed bag. I love the art direciton and lighting but hate the overall texture quality. I feel like they made too many sacrifices for consoles with the assets.

Looks like the Xbox One version is the definitive version for Fallout 4 without even seeing a comparison. Microsoft has Bethesda in their back pocket. Smart move.
