ThisGenGaming says "In a recent tweet from Bethesda, they have assured fans will be getting DLC news soon. It’s not that far off so the E3 2016 predictions might be wrong? A DLC announcement could be incoming within the next few weeks."
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
The Fallout player base is beginning to grow in a resurgence following the release of the critically acclaimed TV show.
I bet they feel pretty stupid not allowing someone else, possibly Obsidian to do a Fallout game because they could have released it this year near the TV show to capitalise on it.
You know what the funny thing is...literally 10 MINUTES after making that comment I've just seen what they've done.
I mean it was a chalk board and it still feels a bit ambiguous in places but they didn't actually just do that...right?
@ -Foxtrot. Based on a lot that I've read of your comments, i though we were on the same page (physical media etc non digital at nauseam...) . As Canon, I thought they did pretty well (I'm a hardcore fan), they delved into a pretty decent tie in to expand on for season 2, let alone fan service with nods to certain gameplay aspects along the way. I hope you've watched it to appreciate it 'for what it is', It's good. (Loved seeing Red Rocket station in Ep 7, goosebumps galore throughout the 8 Eps they did let alone that)
Obsidian has been working on two RPGs (Avowed and the Outer Worlds 2) for the past few years. TV shows and films can be produced much faster than video games.
I meant it as in if they just let Obsidian do this years ago before The Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed was in production. This could have been their next game instead.
Eh depends,development hell can take many years in movies and tv series. Fallout tv series was announced 4 years ago, which was also the main development time of Fallout 4.
But yeah Bethesda was already in full production of Starfield and working on Elders Scrolls on the side. Obsidian was already with Microsoft (while Beth was not) and busy with Grounded and Pentiment. So minor updates/dlcs for their latest games was probably the best they could do.
I would have outsourced a remaster/remake of Fallout 3 to align with the release tv series.
@-Foxtrot
From what I gather they'd rather do Avowed and Outer worlds at this point. Doesn't sound like the current Obsidian really desires to go back to New Vegas at this time.
"I bet they feel pretty stupid not allowing someone else, possibly Obsidian to do a Fallout game because they could have released it this year near the TV show to capitalise on it."
They´ll certainly take advantage of the next gen upgrade, coming to Xbox Series, PS5 and PC.
“They´ll certainly take advantage of the next gen upgrade, coming to Xbox Series, PS5 and PC.”
You mean ‘current’ gen, right? ;)
If you thought '76 made Fallout feel mainstream, now we have a TV show that looks like a cosplay convention. The clean duds and Garbage Kid- Looking power suits (Head scale) are killing me. I think that it's nice that there's something for tv viewers to glimpse at why people like Fallout, but they are only getting a filterd down, made for series-seasonal tv (ew), passanger's flattened persfective with no risk based upon actions or consequese or social/non-social stangings that are experienced in the game.
The series represent's itself as a Fallout the tv show for people that need that kind of pacing (again ew), not the Fallout the game. Some people will dig this. I can see them having reason to, considering everying the show is borrowing to make it something Falloutish. It not for me, and I'm cool with that.
I am a MASSIVE fallout fan, I have a computer desk shine THAT IS FALLOUT and no other. The show was amazing to me, and bias had nothing to do with that, my trepidation was ultimate. The tie in to 'something' New Vegas, had me cheering like a sports fan at the end there (I have the collectors edition, and covet its mint condition highly) and I hate sports. I love a lot of other gaming, movie and TV show things, what they have done its pretty damn cool to me.
Checking out the show possibly tonight or tomorrow for sure. Hope it’s as good as everyone says.
"Bethesda Game Studios is releasing a free Fallout 4 update for download on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
This free update includes native applications for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, Performance mode and Quality mode settings, as well as stability improvements and fixes. Experience up to 60 FPS and increased resolutions!"
Very nice. Im sure many may start a new game to experience it all over again in better performance. I just did the same with FO3.
New game for me too.
That black power armor from Enclave and the new Tesla Cannon looks badass!
Maybe try reading the article, or even the description below the headline.
That 60fps is the system-driven FPS Boost, this is a full current-gen optimized release making its way to PS5 too alongside other updates impacting all versions.
In terms of performance, not really. FPS boost was already getting the game to 60.
But they are adding some other fixes and adding some stuff for free from the Creation Club
Yes. It is native Series X upgrade instead of using the XBO back compat game with FPS boost.
Ok, so it'll be 60fps just like before, with the same 4k upgrade it already had.... Got it
Maybe not. That's a wait-to-find-out. FPS Boost on Series X runs in the One S mode as opposed to the 4K One X mode. It could be that the new Performance Mode is actually tweaked to the new consoles instead of the base-last-gen mode, and Quality should obviously be improved over that One X mode.
I love how people are such Richards when you ask a question... Why can't gamers just be helpful? Why do people feel it necessary to be so mean instead of just answering a simple question?
You attempted denying a fact, after you asked a question that's literally answered in the description of the article.
Who's the Richard, the one giving you the right answers or the person not bothering to read?
It's such a good game. Still play it on pc every so often years after release. Can't wait to try it on ps5.
Will the PS5 version have DualSense updates?
I know Sony mandates that PS5 games must have but I don’t actually know if a PS4 game updated to PS5 also counts.
Not to sure. I hope it does that would be great.
I also loved fallout vr on pc. I hope they bring fallout 4 vr to psvr2 but I doubt it.
You'd think after damn near a 4 years people would stop calling current gen next gen. I know 2020 was an unprecedented year but damn. 🤣
Good to know.
I wonder if they'll stick to the structure they did with Fallout 3 and give us 5 DLC packs or maybe 2-3 huge ones.
The first DLC for Fallout 3 came out in January while the second came out in March and the third in May.
It really just depends on how big it's going to be at the end of the day.
They really need to up their game in the settlement mode, the fact we can't create most of the items in the game is ridiculous. Not to mention not allowing us to remove most of the things in the settlements. How can you not remove the skeleton bodies, horrible weeds which go through buildings or houses themselves. Everything should be allowed to be customised.
Nice, i was hoping they would patch in a New Vegas hardcore like mode.
Well, they certainly side stepped the land mine of being accused of selling day 1 DLC. By quite some margin.
Better late than never, BUT:
My problem with this new proposed survival mode is that it doesn't slot in with Bethesda's constant-levelling (in terms of abilities) with character creation. There is no incentive to play through the game a second time, because 1) You can have a perfect character with no weakness by level 40, because of the perk-dependency, and the fact you earn a new perk every level. There's no long term 'opportunity cost' for anything you do , no real 'role' (the 'R' in RPG) to specialise in that you have to stick to, and ; 2) Choice and consequence are totally diminutive -- there are NO effects on the macro-environment for your actions in the game. I will turn it on for fun, but I really wish I had reason to start anew with this mode...hell, it should have been in the game from the getgo, the survival aspect of F4 felt so barebones. Radiation was trivialised and food/healing was overly simplified.
Fallout 4 would have been way better with old skill/perk system, dialogue and survival mode. I'm not a dinosaur I just think it was an 'if it ain't broke...' situation. They could have just revamped it.
