Way back on November 18th of 2012, Nintendo released what they envisioned as their answer to next-gen consoles with the retail launch of the Wii U. As a result of this move, anxious consumers everywhere flocked to the stores to pickup their first piece of next-gen hardware. Fast-forward to almost one year later and both the Wii U hardware and software sales are absolutely dismal. Most of this is attributed to the fact that many third-party developers and publishers lack confidence in the platform and therefore see no reason to use it within their everyday business practices.
Here is everything included in the upcoming Fallout 4 next-gen update from technical improvements to new content.
Idc about skins and a couple weapons. Would've much preferred some added story or quests.
Seems odd in all honesty that the game has the option for high res and 60 fps when there's console mods for the xsx that run the game at 4k 60 are they updating the art assets that much.
Guess it's Bethesda no no shock might finally look like a PS4 gen game now instead of a PS3.5 like it did on PS4.
I love the game don't get me wrong it's my favourite in the franchise yet it never actually looked at good as many other games at the time did and it ran pretty badly with long load times it actually is the reason why I put a SSD in my PS4.
Here's a detailed guide that covers the best Fallout 4 mods on PC, letting you overhaul its visuals and content.
Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
The Wii U is a decent console but the lack of third-party games is simply annoying. It's also hard to call this a next-gen piece of hardware when clearly the PS4 and Xbox One blows it out of the water.
I really wouldn't consider ESO next gen anyway. Heck not even most console gamers are excited about that MMO. So overall WiiU owners really aren't missing anything when it comes to ESO.
the definitive version of all your favorite games,will not be on the wii u.
but its nintendos fault,they need to secure better exclusive third party content, they had a year advantage and let it go to waste,they really just need a new strategy.
