Have you played the Vita game? Still plenty of people in multiplayer last time I checked.

30fps wipeout is not wipeout

HammadTheBeast4119d ago

Yeah it is, and the gameplay on the OLED screen is amazing.

Also, was I the only one who got excited when I read it as "Sony Patents Wipeout Rebirth and Fallout 4"?

guitarded774119d ago

WipeOut on Vita is just as amazing as WipeOut on PS3.

So what's the word on WipeOut Rebirth... is it supposed to be a PS4 launch title. Sony has had WipeOut as a launch title on all systems except PS2.

kupomogli4119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

@soundslike

So I'm guessing Wipeout HD is the only Wipeout, right? Because that's the only Wipeout game that has run higher than 30fps(other than one PSX game that I think has run at 60fps but not sure.)

I've had enough Wipeout. Bring back Rollcage.

FriedGoat4118d ago

rollcage was awesome, I remember testing out the latest GFX card at the time on that beast, I think that was back in the Voodoo days. Good old 3DFX.

Sebastian has ruined the word 'patent' for me.

Foolsjoker4119d ago

If that is all he's ruined for you, consider yourself lucky.

dbjj120884119d ago

I can't wait for the next Fallout game. After Skyrim, Fallout should be amazing and frankly, it's always been closer to my genre preferences than the whole swords and spells thing.

Foolsjoker4119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

Yeah, just after the amount of publicity surrounding all the glitches on Skyrim for PS3, they really will have to show fans that they are putting a better effort into the build.

League_of_Draven4119d ago

They don't have to show anyone anything. Everybody already knows Fallout 4 will be buggy as shit just like Skyrim. I'd only be surprised if it's not as glitchy as Skyrim and even then I still wouldn't waste money on that garbage.

prototypeknuckles4119d ago

yeah, lets hope that they get it right this time, if not then i ll get the game of the year addition on xbox.

Kurt Russell4119d ago

If you think Skyrim is garbage... you're an empty shell of a gamer League_of_Draven. No class.

Highlife4119d ago

@kurt Russell
My friend you are an empty shell of a gamer if you going to take bugs up the @ss. That game was an opportunity wasted. The game never had a big epic moment. Never felt like it built up to anything. The ending was utter garbage. I was so let down by that game.

CptFalcon4118d ago

@highlife,

While I agree on some points you made, like there was no epicness like morrowind or oblivion had. On the other hand I find your lack of manners disturbing. Calling something garbage while millions of people love it is just gross. Your opinion is not the one and only sacred opinion. In fact your opinion doesn't mean shit to me or anyone else. You are one of 7 billion people, who cares about your opinions?

Highlife4118d ago

@randolf
Sir I never called the game garbage read my comment. I called the ending utter garbage and said that it was a let down for me. Never said others hate it. You work your way all through that game for that! Your right my opinion shouldn't matter to you.. Although I am free to express my opinions you don't have to listen. "Calling something garbage while millions of people love it is just gross" Sorry but I don't think I have to follow the masses I have my own thoughts. Maybe you don't and just follow the masses.

Revolver_X_4118d ago

While I have experienced bugs in Fallout 3, NV, and Skyrim, they were never gamebreaking for me. The occasional freeze every now and then, small things. Never enough to make me pout like a child on N4G. While Skyrim does lack the interesting story and becomes blah 30 hours in, it was worth $60 to me. Thats coming from a person who is more of a Fallout fan. Fallout 3 is my GOAT so far. The world, characters, just fascinate me. My PS3 freezing twice a day or frames slowing down momentarily, will not dissuade me from experiencing Fallout 4. Im sorry others feel that way, but your venomous hatred should be expressed at Bethesda forums. It does no good here.

Muffins12234118d ago

And sony has to shown its not total gonna make a alien console to wear its different to make for compared to pc.The reason why xbox ports are so good is because its like pc to develop for.

fallout on playstation? after all the crap that bethesda has done, do not want....

Hazmat134119d ago

i really hope bethesda puts all there work into the next Fallout 4 i love series besides all the bug and freezing, but they need a new engine or something cuz its getting old. but hell i want Fallout 4.

LAWSON724119d ago

Skyrim has an amazing graphics engine.

Kur04119d ago

*that can only be taken advantage of on PC

legendof1174119d ago

^with proper computing power.

Drabent4119d ago

"With mods" hehhehehehehe:p

Highlife4119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

*after wiping the bugs off my screen

iamgoatman4118d ago (Edited 4118d ago )

It's pretty much just the old gamebryo engine back from Morrowind with some tweaks and a new name slapped on it.

I love Bethesda games, but the engine is a pile of crap, and this is from a PC gamer.

greatcrusader444119d ago

Am I the only one who didn't get many glitches in Skyrim? Only remember two glitches, a giant smashing my guy to death and flying way up in the air( which was purely a funny glitch that had no ramifications) and a quest related drum I picked up before starting its quest that didn't let me turn it in.

This was all in my 150hr playthrough (my only one, didn't find Skyrim fun to replay). This engine is 1000x more stable than the earlier Gamebryo one (at least on Xbox, from what I hear it suchs on PS3)

cervantes994119d ago (Edited 4119d ago )

Why would Sony patent Fallout 4? Did they buy the IP?

Or is this a different Fallout - which seems implausible.

I'm at work and can't listen to the Podcast.

greatcrusader444119d ago

Title of podcast lists the "highlights" of the week: Sony Patents;WipEout Rebirth;Fallout 4

cervantes994119d ago

OH, I feel really stupid now.

Thanks for being nice those above me :)

matrixman924119d ago

i read it that way at first too...i was like wut?

NewVegasTroop4119d ago

yeah i made the same mistake. i was like wow fallout 4 exclusive for ps4?!! OMG HOLY SH*T!!!

but than i read it again carefully and made sense out of it... but imagine if it was true!! totally unexpected!!

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.

isarai13h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken12h 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

Valkyrye11h ago

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

just_looken9h 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.

Inverno7h 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.

porkChop6h 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.

Chocoburger7h 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.

Aussiesummer6h ago

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

badz1495h 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?

Profchaos5h ago(Edited 5h 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.

MWeaver58911h 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."

VenomUK10h ago

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

VincentVanBro9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

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

Christopher9h 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.

VenomUK2h ago

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.

JackBNimble10h ago

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

raWfodog10h 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?

JackBNimble4h ago(Edited 4h 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?

blacktiger8h ago

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