Fallout 4 & Bethesda’s “Hanky Panky”

One of the biggest mysteries in the gaming world at the moment is about Fallout 4 from Bethesda. Rumours were going around that the game would make its way out at the E3, but of course this did not happen. There was also talk of the game being an exclusive to the Xbox One.

yellowgerbil3888d ago

There is no way that a game like this would be an exclusive. It would probably cost MS 200mil to get exclusivity on a title as big as Fallout. At that amount they could just buy obsidian and have them create 4 Bethesda clone games, would be far superior to fable...

zeal0us3888d ago (Edited 3888d ago )

I don't recall anyone saying it would be a exclusive. Even the article doesn't state anything about it being about it being exclusive.

Hopefully Bethesda will reveal something soon.

"There was also talk of the game being an exclusive to the Xbox One."

yellowgerbil3888d ago

it is snuck in there but not elaborated on. It is the last sentence in the summary as well...

zeal0us3888d ago

Oh gawd I can't read sorry :(

Knowing MS they probably just pay for exclusive content or time exclusive content again. Zenimax wouldn't risk losing so much money by going exclusive.

CrimsonStar3888d ago

Man if MS got fallout as an exclusive ... N4G will implode with hate and envy .

RobAlmighty3888d ago

I would have to buy an Xbox One. That would be the one and only reason I would ever make that purchase.

Rhaigun3888d ago

It's in the opening paragraph.

Jyndal3888d ago

Man.
Fallout 4 is a big title.
If it were to go exclusive to XB1, I'd really have to rethink the whole PS4 thing.

I'm a HUGE Fallout fan.

spoonard3888d ago

I don't believe it's worth it to Bethesda to make it exclusive. Even timed exclusivity would hurt Bethesda more than MS could compensate them. Why limit an INSANELY popular franchise to half of the potential customers?

TriangleOffense3888d ago

Whatever system its on I'll be there

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai10h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken10h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye8h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken6h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno5h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop3h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger4h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer3h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1493h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Bethesda Looking Into PlayStation Plus Subscribers Not Being Able to Upgrade Fallout 4

Bethesda Customer Support Manager confirmed they're looking into Fallout 4 not being offered to those who redeemed via PlayStation Plus for free.

Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.

MWeaver5899h ago

I think it's because the main question for many was whether or not the PlayStation Plus Collection version would support the upgrade. To me it seems obvious the PlayStation Plus Extra version would, though it is nice to see confirmation it will.

That said, Bethesda highlighting the PlayStation Plus Extra version low-key confirms they do not plan on upgrading the other version given to players. Naturally some people are pissed, as even the in-game phrasing says "free for all players."

VenomUK8h ago

@MWeaver589 Exactly this point, it was advertised as free for everyone.

VincentVanBro7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

It’s just a lame solution to the problem, even if it is a solution. The comment shouldn’t be downvoted though.

Christopher7h ago

I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.

Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.

Is this your first time here?! And when you question the downvotes you get downvoted - I don't make the rules but that's the rules!

Even though I claimed the PS Plus version, I still have my physical GOTY PS4 edition and was able to get my PS5 upgrade a little earlier today. Physical media FTW lol. Hopefully it won't be too long before the PS Plus owners also get to upgrade their copies.

JackBNimble7h ago

My digital version works just fine , what's your point?

raWfodog7h ago

My point is that even though I claimed the digital version via my PS+ Essential sub, I was still able to upgrade to the PS5 version using my PS4 GOTY physical version that I bought years ago. Otherwise I would have had to wait for the fix to be released, however long that will take. Isn’t that what the article was about?

JackBNimble2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

No, you claimed an upgrade that everyone with the physical or digital license can other then ps+ extra .
And what you hold is nothing more then a physical license.

And the article is talking about people with ps+extra who didn't own the game previously to it going on ps+ .

I bought the game years ago to ... digitally, my whole point was to your statement " physical media Ftw" . So what does physical have to do with anything?

blacktiger5h ago

I expect this and also no releasing on next ps console. Pretty simple. Please don't be suprise
