Fall0ut 4 is my game this year, i already know it. I don't go completely nuts and jump from my couch for any kind of game announcement often, but when they announced a November 10 release date for Fallout 4....i did exactly that, no joke.

So naturally i want the ''best'' version of the game, but so far i only have an Xbox One. Most of us have accepted that a lot of games are not 1080p on the console, but Fallout 4 is not gonna be one of them, and if the latest rumours turn out to be MGSV won't be neither.

I remember when the console had trouble keeping up and maintained resolutions like 720p or just a bit above it. Now we're getting a huge open world, s***loads of content no doubt and at 1080p. Awesome news in my book!

People on other sites actually calling the game dreadful. Nope it's not the best looking game right now, but it looks damn fine overall IMO. Especially the E3 footage looked fine to me. Very glad about this news.

Those same people were probably raving about Fallout 3 when it was released, meanwhile much better looking games were out then too.

true man. And personally i loved how Fallout 3 looked at the time. Yes Gears sure looked better at the time, but that didnt have the huge open-world F3 did have.
 
Good news about 1080p on Xbox. One less reason to get the PS4 version. Although I still prefer gaming on the PS4, as long as the graphics are equivalent, the earlier mod situation may swing me toward the Xbox version.
 
Fallout's gonna be great. Sure it's not the greatest looking game, however, the size, scope and atmosphere will make it incredible.

They are hoping to get the mod compatibility on the PS4 at some point too, and it's not going to be available at launch on the XB1 either. It's projected early next year.

Yeah, I'd heard that they were planning on getting them to PS4, too, but they'll come to Xbox first. Three unknowns:
  1. Will they be able to work out all the kinks by early next year? Something tells me it'll take longer than they expect.
  2. Will the mods be substantial (new areas/missions) or trivial (skins and so forth)? If they are the latter, they won't be a factor for me.
  3. How long will they take to get to PS4? If it's a few months, it's a non-issue, but if it's a year or two, that's different.
I imagine that will all still be unknown at launch.

Last I read there was no time frame for the PS4 support, just something that they'd like to do. I'd hope that it would be full mod community support, though that might be wishful thinking, I couldn't care less if it were to be just skins and trinkets.

I've heard other people speculate that consoles will only get maybe 5 or 10% of the mods available on PC. Who knows. Bethesda has said they aren't going to curate them much at all, but I doubt MS and Sony are going to let barely-tested/screened mods loose in their infrastructure. I think there is a lot yet to work out. I'm not sure whether to get excited about the prospect or expect a slow trickle of innocuous, basically trivial mods.
 
I wonder what kind of mods we can expect. I am totally not familiar when it comes to that, cause i haven't been a pc gamer for a long ass time now.
 
If this game is restricted to 1080p for PC, I'll pass. I never game in 1080p these days except playing PS4 exclusives in my living room TV.
 
I need to know more about the mod situation, like will consoles support mods that require substantial memory? Will these mods cover increase the cells? What about mods that increase things like vegetation density? New polygonal models and new animations?

I mean mod support is super awesome but I want to know the limitations.

Todd Howard is someone who would know about it before Pete, right? Unless this whole quote was fake.....sigh.

I don't think it's a fake. I don't think Digital Spy would make up a direct quote ('It is 1080p on everything,' he said"). I'm pretty sure Todd Howard said that. Maybe Pete just doesn't know he did. The tweet didn't mention Todd by name, so presumably Pete hadn't seen the story. Sounds like maybe they didn't get their talking points entirely straight, or else Todd went off-script.
 
I can see X1/PS4 being 1080/30, but for PC that doesn't make sense. Just about all PC games allow flexible res and fps is up to how good your system is. Although there are some games capping things until a modder figures out how to mess with files and unlock it.

I assume he means X1 & PS4, and PC will be flexible as usual. Its hard to tell really because there isn't any real context given to the quote.

I don't know. It is going to have to be something uber special to dethrone Witcher 3.
 
He probably just meant XBO and PS4.

There is no way in hell this game will be locked to 30fps on PC.

Exactly that. Todd Howard is definitely one that would know it way before Pete. Pete is PR, right? I saw someone in the Dualshockers comments saying he bet there would be trade-offs for this resolution. So either lower effects, lighting etc. That's just guessing though, maybe that won't be the case at all.

I am not following.

They think this mean trade-offs, which in itself is kind of Duh, but trade-offs from what exactly? Where is the comparison coming from?

I wouldn't expect too much from mods honestly. The most popular mods historically for Bethesda games have been ones that improve visuals in any number of ways, and those are all but guaranteed to be out simply due to the fact that it would kill performance. That leaves small tweaks and scenarios that often take many months to years before anything really solid shows up. I'm expecting a very limited and middling offering on console.
