Any Fallout game fans??

Good. They won't have to limit it to run on older consoles.

Good. They won't have to limit it to run on older consoles.

Even newer consoles limit PC games. It's up to the developer to do the right thing and not scale a game back.

We saw this with Witcher 3 to some extent (they later patched the PC release to have the full gamut of graphics options). Ubisoft is notorious for this.

GTA V was an excellent example of how to do it right. Yeah, it took 2 years... but the PC release was a PC release. It was far superior to either of the console versions.

I can't quite convert the time but either at 2100 or 2200 hours tonight we can watch Bethesda E3 showcase tonight!

Collector's Edition pip-boy... awesome.

F4 looks so much more immersive than the previous games. Guys, November 9th might be my last day outside...ever.

Currently saving money for a PC rig that would handle F4..

Here's the footage of the even and loads of gameplay video. Looks fantastic!

Graphically, it's not looking bad. Will have to see how far the new engine can go. The animations leave a lot to be desired.

I like the slow-motion VATS system now, as opposed to freezing time.

The conversation-wheel is an interesting touch, a la Mass Effect. I suppose this Fallout will be much more narrative-driven than previous titles (what with the voiced protagonists now).

This game should have an incredible replay value once modders get ahold of it.

Some more footage of Fallout 4 from the Xbox announcements. Looking better and better.

It would appear that they have merged their world (Vault-Tec) with Morrow Project.

Morrow Project was an RPG from that mid 80's(?) where you played characters designed to come out of cryosleep 20 years post apocalypse. Instead there was a computer error and you came out 200 years later, to a world much more decayed than you were expecting.

For what it's worth I have enjoyed Fallout New Vegas more than Fallout 3. I didn't like the idea of not knowing my past but I did like the idea of being born into the world instead of emerging from a vault.

If I can get my computer geek buddy to get over here and see what is interfering with Steam and Nexus Mods I'll order through Steam.

If you can't wait till the release of Fallout 4 and you have a newer iOS device you can go to the Apple App Store and download Fallout Shelter. That looks like a lot of fun.

If you're interested, a Redditor threw together a nice list of all the info we know at this point about Fallout 4. Complete with video links and a transcript from an interview with Todd Howard. Good stuff so far.

I'm one of the angry Android users that have to wait a couple months to play Shelter....

Any sort of emulator that would allow it to be played on a PC? Doing a search I see some supposed one, but the websites look a little shifty.

Doubtful. It'll be available for Android in a couple of months. My wife was playing it yesterday and said it's really addictive.

 

[Bonkers4Bacon]

If you want to pass the time and play Fallout 3 or Fallout Vegas on PC, now is the time. Each are less than $3 on Steam right now. A great steal.

If you missed out on the Pip-Boy Edition pre-order, this guy has the right idea.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Not that any confirmation was needed, as Bethesda has always been PC friendly... but they did confirm this today:

Fallout 4 is 1080p & 30fps on Xbox One and PS4. Resolution and FPS are not limited in any way on the PC.

I've actually seen some reeeally good home-made Pip Boys but this might just be the best.
