Leaked Fallout 4 PS4 Screenshots Show Landscapes, Characters, Pip-Boy and More

Fallout 4's release is just 10 days away, and of course screenshots are starting to leak.

[DarkOcelet]

The lighting in the game is impressive. Just a couple more days!

"Volumetric Lighting..."-Todd Howard

[Bansai]

That bubblehead sure is pointy... the landscape on 1 screen doesn't look too good :/

Here's hoping framerate will be solid.

[nX]

Just a side note, the screenshots in the article are jpg's with compression. Here are some png's that look much better imo
http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

Of course it's not the best looking game of the year but I'm pretty sure that it will be one of the best games of this generation.

[SolidStoner]

It looks fantastic for a fallout game, I bet all fans will be pleased and cant wait to get it ASAP!!

those wastelands will blow minds! :D and the feeling will be S.P.E.C.I.A.L.!

[Dynasty2021]

@Bansai

It's being said that the PS4 suffers from pretty frequent drops in FPS.

This is coming from a Spanish forum from a guy who leaked some screenshots that don't contain spoilers.

[JsonHenry]

While I agree that the graphics are sub-par compared to other games such as Witcher 3 if the game is even half as good as the previous games I don't think I'd even notice a jaggy here and there or low-rez texture here and there either.

I'm playing this on PC but I doubt until the mods roll in that it will be a night/day difference in gfx quality between consoles and PC.

Also the art direction seems to be a bit stylized in places while other art assets look realistic. This clash could be what is causing some people to be upset with the graphics. It isn't the fidelity of the gfx per se but the art direction clashes in places.

[dumahim]

Sub-par graphics leave room for mods :)

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I'm already in line for my GameStop's release party on the 9th :D

[-Foxtrot]

I feel like I should keep that Bobblehead where it is for now

In Fallout 3 if you played your cards right there was a way you could max your SPECIALs if you kept the bobble heads until last.

Unless you can increase your SPECIALs now over time.

[Eromu]

You can increase your SPECIALs in lieu of taking a perk on level-up. It's shown in the "Character System" video they released a while back.

[My_Outer_Heaven]

Yeah, lighting is very important in video games, it adds to the immersion and improves the overall gaming experience and appearance.

I'm really liking the way Fallout 4 will have a different feel depending on where you are and what time it is in the game, each location having its own unique atmosphere and volumetric lighting.

Fallout 4 is going to be game of the year no doubt!

[Dynasty2021]

But the shadow draw distance is laughably bad when you look at certain outside shots.

As always on console - great details up close, PS1 details in the distance.

[Thefreeman012]

I'm tempted to look but I'm going dark on Fallout news until the game is released

[My_Outer_Heaven]

Don't worry the person was smart enough to not let anything be spoiled, images are of parts of the game we have already seen in trailers.

[JamesBroski]

Except the bobblehead, the loot system, the local map and the world map. I wouldn't look at them if I were you.

[porkChop]

Yeah, I've been doing the same thing. I remember with games like Mass Effect I gobbled up every bit of info I could because I was so excited for the games release. Then the game came out and I didn't really have many surprises. I knew what a lot of locations looked like, I knew the races, I knew the backstory. It kind of kills the experience a bit. I try not to watch many trailers or read previews for games I know I'm going to love now so I can still be awed when I pop the disc in.

Side note: Second year journalism student here. I'm writing a story about using video games as an escape. If anyone here has a story they would like to share, or would be willing to answer some questions on the topic, feel free to PM me. It would be a huge help :)

[oIITSBIIo]

Graphics looks OK.

[Thefreeman012]

This is a massive Rpg. Not crysis.

[oIITSBIIo]

Look at The witcher 3.

[Grap]

That was in the past, witcher 3 ultra massive rpg and one of the best looking games out there. admit it Bethesda are lazy in that department. i wouldn't worry much mods will make it better.

[JamesBroski]

The Witcher 3 is NOTHING like Bethesda games: you can interact with almost every object in the game, everything has its own physics, this game has rockets and huge explosions, a lot of enemies on screen, etc.

You just can't compare two games and say one dev is lazier than the other. That's freaking ignorant.

[Grap]

@JamesBroski
You are the ignorant here if you think Bethesda game engine is ok, which is not only meh on graphics but also filled with bugs. dude "rockets and huge explosions" GTAV has it and it was last gen and it look better than this.

[JamesBroski]

@Grap

I never said anything about the engine, I'm saying you can't compare two completely different games together exactly like you do with GTA V. One is an action sandbox and the other is a RPG filled with interactible objects all over the place, quests, loot, etc.

I'd like to see you creating a better engine for a game like this. It improved a lot compared to Oblivion and for what they're doing with their games, they couldn't take an already existing engine, they had to make their own.

[scientificreasoning]

GTa V, Witcher 3, and many more are as big and look better....get better at posting.

[DeToX420]

The game world and amount of content in F3 was much greater than W3 so I don't know why you are comparing them.

[Eidolon]

@ Scientificreasoning & Grap

If you compare GtA V to even Fallout 3 and I'll laugh. GTA doesn't have near the exploratory sense, interactability or atmosphere as Fallout does, don't even compare them.

[boodi]

so I'm not asking witcher 3 grpx quality .. for a betshda game ..ok ..( and that's a sad position )..I don't ask the witcher 3 graphics

http://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-...
I shed a tear for what this game could have been -graphically, too- with a lil better gpx programming

Anyone pretending that a game with great contents and ok graphics is same ( if not better ) then a game with great contents and great graphics..it's hard to conceive

video-gaming is and will always be about visual pleasure too and the thing is destined only to get better and better , grphx programmers ( any game has a grphx programmer or team behind ) know it by their own job

[scark92]

I am very happy with the graphics, if graphics is what you look for maybe Fallout is not for you.

[Seafort]

Console gamers should play the real Fallout games not these FPS wannabes :P

Now those are real graphics :D

Anyway the graphics look fine and I'm quite looking forward to Fallout 4 on PC.

[Edubencz1]

I think they are great! Just missing some ambient occlusion that definitly would step up the lightning graphics

[BallsEye]

Sony gotta improve on the damn screen capture quality. Anyway, http://i.imgur.com/o9LUrPz.... lot's of jaggies going on hmmm...
Graphics aside, I'm sure it's gonna be in my top3 this year.

[PeaSFor]

"Sony gotta improve on the damn screen capture quality."

you can already capture in .png format instead of .jpeg, just sayin.

[Trekster_Gamer]

Graphics look really great!

[ThunderPulse]

The blood looked not really detailed but everything else was awesome.

[FullmetalRoyale]

Can't look!

[chrono1205]

The guy was pretty good at only showing parts that we say in the E3 reveal.

[mezati99]

This looks good enough for me.

on a side note, man The Neogaf thread is depressing...didn't know that site was filled with cry babies and graphic whores

[Perjoss]

Some people just love to hate, don't let their negativity spoil your enjoyment. Play games and make up your own mind.

[mark_parch]

well said

[sullynathan]

Too bad people have standards

[WeAreLegion]

Wow. Thunderbird went there.

[mezati99]

@thunderbird86

that was completely uncalled for mate, but i must admit, i laughed my ass off

[Bradderzthebell]

Hahaha thunderbirds comment killed me!

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Just now figured that out, huh? :3

[Edubencz1]

Anyone noticed the lack of ambient occlusion?

[xPhearR3dx]

I'm sure there will be a day 1 patch. It may or may not include AO, or it was removed for better frame rate on consoles. I'm getting it on PC so it doesn't matter to me. But I don't see why everyone is whining. The game looks beautiful.

[Edubencz1]

I believe in a day one patch that may adress that too. It happened in other games before... Most games in ps4 dont lack AO.

[pyroxxx]

yep it is pretty strange,.. AO looks like shit,.. but it is strange it is not in there,.. because it is pretty cheap

[Phunkydiabetic1]

Ambient Occlusion looks like shit? Are you for real? Do you even know what Ambient Occlusion IS?

[pyroxxx]

@Phunky : yes I know what Ambient Occlusion is,.. Always thought it looks fake as shit,.. or at least how it is usually implemented in Bethesda's games,.. Not really good approximation of things supposed to be exposed to ambient lightning,.. (basically looks fake as hell,.. to tell you the truth,.. it is just hiding how flat and undetailed everything in Gamebryo engine games really is)

[iNFAMOUZ1]

Ambient Oclusion isn't cheap
wtf? lol

do you even pc game bro

[angelsx]

Let's not deny.The game may be top but graphics looks not very good.

[user6666047]

Getting this on PS4 is asking for trouble. Bethesda don't care about PS versions of their games. They just don't.

[scark92]

I think they know better to half ass the popular console in the market..

[user6666047]

I hope so.

[lashes2ashes]

The problems on PS3 was the cell processor and how the ram was split on it. Ps4 had neither of those issues so why would there be a problem?

[annoyedgamer]

PS3 was a vastly different architecture compared to the 360 which was basically a PC.

PS4/XB1 are the same architecture and so far as expected most multiplatoform games have performed similarly.

[GameDev1]

Thats one way to cut down on your game sales

[SlightlyRetarted]

Like i've said before i say it now. Bethesda could not develop games for PS3 due to it's complex architecture. PS4 is a completely different thing.

[Antifan]

They're Xbox and iPhone fanboys. It really shows, too. But this time, they're on the wrong side of the river, and will have no choice but to treat the platforms equally.

[BallsEye]

The reason ps3 versions of bethesda games were bad is because ps3 simply sucked. It was a horror to code for. Ps4 on the other hand is super easy (and thanks to it, it's also easy to max it out, thus it started strong on launch) so there should be no problem with fallout.

[annoyedgamer]

Is that Dogmeat?

[My_Outer_Heaven]

I was worried about getting spoiled but don't be the images are purely from parts of the game we have already seen. No spoilers here.

[SlightlyRetarted]

I hope someone leaks all the rest perks so i can spent ridiculous amount of time into S.P.E.C.I.A.L. planning before game releases. So my first playtime won't just go to that and character customization :)

Right now i'm rolling this:
S: 3 (Armorer perk at 3)
P: 4 (Lockpick at 4)
E: 1
C: 4 (Little bit smooth talk can't hurt)
I: 7 (Extra XP and weapon customization perks)
A: 5 (Good perks every 5 of them. Action Boy at 5 gives more AP)
L: 4 (Bloody Mess at 4 and Mysterious Stranger at 5. Love both of them)

[-Foxtrot]

We need to be able to find out if we can max the SPECIALs one way or another.

I know it's about finding things out for yourself but I don't want multiple playthroughs where I have to repeat quests just because I made a small mistake with my character

[SlightlyRetarted]

I think they confirmed that you can max every SPECIAL and every perk on one playthrough. But it takes a lot of time. You can use a level point into perks or raise one SPECIAL attribute by one point. All i'm trying to find is perfect SPECIAL combo for the start so i can focus on interesting perks and not invest points to bump any SPECIALs early in the game. Some perks have up to 5 or 6 ranks so they can take a lot of level points.

[Zichu]

Only 10 days to go... The wait is killing me. Looks really good.

[Dinkis]

Can't wait till next week!

[FrostXVenom]

Lacking good visuals but who cares as long as the gameplay keeps you busy.

[Crashbandicoot87]

YES!!!!!!

[Stapleface]

Looks good enough for me. I'll grab it down the line on my pc when the mod kit comes out. IDK why I bought it on my ps4 honestly. Highly doubt I'll enjoy it any less. The Fallout communities are fun, and will get better once the screen shots start flowing. That's a plus I guess.

[ZaWarudo]

Hurry up!

[tinezedw]

Gotta admit the graphics are not looking that good,but then again it's fallout.ill play it no matter what.

[DEAGLETURK]

Hey guys, is that new stroy dlc for fallout 3 ?

[Ocsta]

Even if this looked like a Ps1 title I wouldnt notice. Such is my love.

[DrJones]

Oh you would notice.

[ginsunuva]

[ObviouslyRJ]

This comment section is so damn cringy.

Anyways, I think the game looks absolutely great. I don't understand why most people are being whiny bitches is beyond me, but I guess that's what gaming has come to be.

10 more days everyone!

[Gatsu]

Agreed 100% :).

[someOnecalled]

I don't really care about the game too much imma buy it later, but why are they whiny for saying the gfx is not all that. It is a game. Gfx are the top topic people talk about on this site.

I think it has to do with people always being defensive when someone say the truth about a popular dev. They will throw their mother in front of the bullet if it means their favorite devs don't look human.

Somehow saying stating the truth about this game having avg gfx is whiny bad and trolling even when the said they are still going to buy and enjoy the ride. It's just a game stop sucking off these corporations. And I'm pretty sure big worlds mean it cost time to make. Not small map equals amazing gfx. I'm pretty sure its a lot going on in gtav with all those explosions and etc, vs trash you can now...NOW use.

[cfc78]

After putting hundreds of hours into Fallout 3 and NV last gen i'll take the bigger game any time over a smaller more flashy graphics version of Fallout 4.

[Gatsu]

Soooo amazing omg :D. I need to play this :O !

P.S so many graphic w*ores everywhere...imo it looks beautiful but there is a lot more stuff in Fallout than just graphics.

[ClayRules2012]

I'm a graphics whore, i'm not going to lie. However, i've learned that having a visually stunning game isn't going to matter if the gameplay isn't very good.

This games gameplay looks really good "In my opinion"

Having said that, I think those Fallout 4 screenshots look good overall. I'm very pleased. Nice work Bethesda!

[psychosmurf101]

I'm seriously loving this art style. I have an xbox one and this is the ps4 version. The ps4 looks amazing and they said it's 1080p on both consoles so hopefully xone looks just as good. I cannot wait for this.

[sullynathan]

I still don't understand how a AAA company can make a game on such a high budget yet it still looks so choppy.
What's even more astounding is how many people will go to defend them and their actions.
Fallout 4 runs on the same engine as Skyrim, it isn't 60 fps on consoles, it still has loading screens, it's still the same size as Skyrim, it isn't the largest open world in this generation either yet it still manages to look worse than open worlds in the same generation.

Please, don't start with the "gameplay is what matters" crap, Bethesda's games don't even have good gameplay.

[lobocob]

Don't play the game. Simple as that

[The_BlackHeart__]

That carne de Mutarracha looks delicious XD.

[MorkTheFork]

Sucks that people are already nagging about graphics. I'd rather have an ugly game with great game-play than a beautiful game with terrible game-play. And I don't have any doubt that Fallout 4 will be great. The only thing i hate about the screenshots is that he just took pictures of stuff we've already seen.

[xPhearR3dx]

"I'd rather have an ugly game with great game-play than a beautiful game with terrible game-play."

Hence why games like Fallout 4 will succeed and games like The Order 1886 pummeled.

[someOnecalled]

Don't bring this up its one of the many paradoxes on this site we don't want to see on the news about a large amount of fanboys head exploding because of this because the contradict themselves wit it comes to exclusives and their favorite devs.

[scientificreasoning]

Bethesda keeps getting away with garbage, looks last gen, and most like;y will have below average gameplay....Still don;t get how their games are so popular.

[JoakimMogren]

that downgrade tho

[jv1991]

I think the game looks good tho. I dont get the ppl who cry about graphics. We werent crying in ps1 era why start now? We all should be glad they still make games and stuff

[Gwiz]

Isn't Bethesda still using their Embryo engine?comparing that to CDPR's engine is not realistic as their engine isn't that old yet and progressed faster with newer tools to work with.

[chrono1205]

Everyone needs to calm down now kids. It's screen shots from a broken street date ver 1.0. When the game hits it will move to 1.1 and it "MAYBE" get some better so,as.

[pyroxxx]

Still,.. It is a bit shocking that this is that locked at 30 on PS4. At 60FPS It would make sense,.. This does not make sense,.. On the UP side,.. this will keep PS4 pretty damn cool

[theFAYEsorceress]

i don't care that this game doesn't look super impressive because i honestly don't buy bethesda games for the graphics... lolz that being said, i can't wait for this game! fallout is such an amazing franchise~ i love the world so much!

[oldassgamer]

Fallout is a great game, but these screenshots look like shit. The screenshots look like they are from a last gen system. If they are current gen, that's very disappointing.

[MasterD919]

Nothing too spoil-ery in these pics, but man I can't wait for this game.

I'll be spending a significant amount of days in December running through the wasteland again.

[mogwaii]

It does look a bit like arse in all honesty, im just hoping they push the next elder scrolls further than this.

[DxTrixterz]

I have not been pumped up for a game since Fallout 3 came out. I'm going for midnight release at my local game store and I don't care that I have to wake up to work 4 hours later.

[boodi]

problem is not that the game looks ugly .. is that they've had time to develope .. and com'on there are screenshots that look worse then ps3 avarage adventure game http://i.imgur.com/ES46vYS....
http://i.imgur.com/wREj1iN....
this is FO4
I know everyone is about the contents of the game
and i'm likely buyin this game sooner then later
..but would wouldn't have wanted a better grphx optimization for fo4 ?

then the problem is you cant say : "graphics are ok I do not agree they are fantastic"
because after you have an horde of fo3 fanboys who ask you why you even comment negatively on graphics, or even ask you to refrain doin it (???)

on a comment section
on an article about in game grphx

something is wrong around here

[pyroxxx]

What is wrong,.. ? It does not look that great? It looks underwhelming to put it mildly,.. Was never going to look stellar with Gambyro to begin with,.. but this looks really shitty since it is locked at 30,.. If it was 60 it might make sense,..

Some screens look decent or almost great,.. some look like no AO,.. or any lightning/ shadows whatsoever ( ,.. not very good). I can almost bet that this was designed for PS3/xbox 360. It is not horrible,.. but it is not going to turn heads graphics wise

Still cannot wait,..
