Fallout 4 PC Ultra Settings Screenshots

Some screenshots from the PC version of Fallout 4 at ultra settings were just leaked.

[DarkOcelet]

Modders are going to do wonders to this game.

[Ezz2013]

The art style look nice

as long as they add great gameplay and dialogues (the two main problems with Bethesda games) this time i'm all for it.

[DarkOcelet]

I wouldn't worry too much about the gameplay since DOOM developers gave Bethesda a helping hand.

[nveenio]

This does look much nicer to me than the console images. The higher res textures are noticeable. No HairWorks is disappointing, though. I guess I'll decide today whether to switch from PS4 to PC. (The kids want it on PS4, but Daddy is buying, and he has more opportunity to play on PC and doesn't have to wear his glasses on PC, either.)

[Ezz2013]

Really ?!

The new Doom gameplay looked awesome ....are you sure about this ?!

There you go :)

[Ezz2013]

Wow, That's great news
Thanks,man.

[DarkOcelet]

Anytime :)

How I like to play Bethesda games, play the crap out of it at release, put it down for a year or 2 until all the expansions are done, then play it again with all the new content and a mature modding scene.

[veChuy]

Me too haha

[isarai]

Those are VERY compressed

[pivotplease]

Yeah there's no way the game will look like this in motion while set to ultra. There are PS3 games that shame some of these screenshots. I think we can expect a lot more once we get our hands on it. Or even just review footage in another week or so.

[Heyxyz]

Not bad, Eh?

I know people think this game has poor graphics, but I really like them. Graphic style is more important than graphic quality, and I think this game has style.

[My_Outer_Heaven]

Could not agree more I love the style but modders will eventually have their way with this game.

[Ocsta]

Looks AMAZING to mine eyeballs. This week can't fly by fast enough!

[oIITSBIIo]

You can have both unless the developer is lazy.

[samden]

Working on this game for 6 years is lazy? 400+ hours worth of gameplay right out of the gate, before expansions, is lazy? I wish people like you would spend a half a lick of your time trying to actually develop a game and realize how hard it is.

[samden]

I fully agree, it wouldn't make sense for this game to look like Crysis or some other game where they push the graphics as far as possible and leave the gameplay in the background. Balance is key and I feel like Bethesda really nailed it with this entry!

[iNFAMOUZ1]

this is very nice for a world that big, cant wait man 7 more days!!!

[My_Outer_Heaven]

Well it certainly looks more crisp and the shadows look good.
How was the PC version even leaked at all, are these a controlled leak by Bethesda themselves? Isn't the PC version coming with only a portion of the game on disc and in order to play the game we will need to download the rest of the game? The same was done for Skyrim, so how was this PC leak even possible?

[Randostar]

In the Fallout subreddit people are already talking about how this is photoshopped. https://www.reddit.com/r/fo...

[pyroxxx]

Vanila will look the same on everything. Looks good, but it is not impressive for any system,..(It is actually strange how it is locked at 30 on PS4) Even on xbox one it is going to look the same,.. which is not impressive at all ,.. On PC it is probably the game that will run at 4K without any problems for many,.. but vanila will look pretty much the same.

[sullynathan]

Not impressive at all

[Stringerbell]

Don't care what the game looks like. I'm more interested with the stability of the engine. The modding community is what will make this game for me, just like Skyrim.

[SouljAx360]

This doesn't make any sense to me, every version of the game was leaked? Really?

From my understanding even if they had the PC version it would need to connect to Steam to activate and download the remaining files, and Steam allowed it? As far as I'm aware the disc based PC game doesn't contain all the files needed to run. Would that mean Bethesda is behind all these leaks? Or did everyone in the media decide to get sued by Bethesda for breaking their NDAs?

[pyroxxx]

There is a PC version out though i7 970gtx,.. with keyboard ui and everything,.. looks the same,.. I mean looks fine,..just wont floor anybody

[fluxmulder]

Bethesda's art really confuses me sometimes. I can't decide whether they purposely make their stuff look cartoony, or if their artists can't do realistic properly.

[EazyC]

It's stylised on purpose.

[Am_IDan]

Whoever took these could've been more careful to mind the compression.

[ninjahunter]

Looks like a Bethesda game.

[My_Outer_Heaven]

Yeah these PC shots I'm convinced are fakes now... because the PC version needs steam to activate, only a portion of the game is on disc and the PC version needs to download the rest of the game. Sorry but I'm calling bullshit on this. Only Bethesda themselves could release PC screenshots at the moment. It's most likely console screen caps not PC ones and someone has gone to great effort to fake the key guides.. the font is actually inconsistent. Some text is bold and the tab, space buttons seem to not be as thick as the rest. This could have been photoshopped to look like PC but its not.

This leak is probably fake.. even I fell for it at first. I suspect PC on Ultra would look better. I guess only time will tells, just 7 days people!

[Dynasty2021]

*sigh*

The leaks are coming from reviewers that broke the NDA or, on consoles, some people just got the game early and are not bound by a contract/obligation to keep their mouth shut.

It's no different on PC - people will have been sent early-access codes for reviews via Steam.

People have been posting pictures of Fallout 4 on Steam saying "10 people currently playing" etc.

People are already playing the game on PC through Steam, they just have special access.

[Dynasty2021]

God, some people.

"Oh the only difference I see between this and the PS4 version is the shadows, hur hur"

I love how you have NO IDEA how much shadows impact performance. Take Witcher 3. Extend the shadow draw distance to max figure in the ini file and watch your FPS go from the 60s to the 20s.

Shadows and shadow draw distance are one of, if not THE, biggest performance consumers in graphics.

PC on Ultra clearly has FAR better and further shadows than on consoles.

[bluebenjamin]

Can't wait to play this at 60fps on my Alienware Alpha with a Ps4 gamepad.Surpringly this machine can run games at high settings that aren't suppose to run on a i3,must be that overlooked 860m doing the work.O well enjoy the game on what ever you play on.#Stop the hate.

[ninjahunter]

Im interested to see how it runs on the alpha, im impressed with how well the i3 has performed so far, like witcher 3 only manages about 60% cpu usage. Im more concerned about the GPU though, its around a 750Ti which is quite a bit weaker than the recommended requirements(780), but then again, the recommended seem a bit overkill.

[bluebenjamin]

Yeah its crazy man its running games better than most expected with an i3,good engineering I say.They just need more advertising and less people talking crap like build your pc mumbo jumbo, I'm like good luck making it small with a 360 pad and windows 8.1 included for 500$.Can't wait to run Fallout 4 on my Lil machine

[Dynasty2021]

PROOF THAT THE PC LEAK IS REAL:

[bluebenjamin]

I really need to finish Vegas before I play this game,but I'm not sure I will

[peshkavusCA]

Same sentiment here. When I gave away my Xbox 360, I included my Fallout 3 and sealed Vegas add on. Now that I have Xbox One, I'm thinking of getting it back..

[Karnalsyn]

Building textures seem a bit flat to anyone else? Game looks great though. I'm pretty shocked they've gone for such a vibrant color palette this time around. Looks like dark/dreary then previous games.

[cfc83]

PC players need a console. Console players don't need a pc. It's that simple.

[ShottyGibs]

Great argument there.. well, you heard it first from cfc83...pack up your 4k and 144hz screens and go get a console

[cfc83]

Absolutely. Couches >>>> swivel chairs

[Bolts]

30 FPS master race!

[bluebenjamin]

30 fps with added judder Master race!!!

[menghina]

Guess I go with PC version on this , my PC still rocks
i5 2400 3.3Ghz
R9 290 Vapor-x
16GB DDR3

Hope the game is fun most important :D

[Donmak22]

Looks pretty good to me

[richyque]

Let's just hope the pc master race thieves support this great game by actually paying for it, again like gta v i bet the ps4 version blows the pc out in total sales.

[FastRedPonyCar]

We don't care about sales, we care about all the amazing mods that we will get and console players won't.

[richyque]

Thats the excuse you thieves use to justify stealing games that you pc guys would not get if it weren't for us honest console players supporting with our sales.

[blakstarz]

I have to ask this question....I placed Fallout a liltle bit and it seems like such an overwhelemng game but it reminfers me HL-2

[bligmerk]

If you didn't play Fallout 3 or New Vegas, the game can seem kind of overwhelming, that is why its so popular. The underlying game mechanics are very similar to Skyrim but more FPS mixed with RPG. The loot and store system is key but takes experience, what to store and where. It's an example of an open world that works, and part of getting around will be knowing it is the Boston area. They get all the landmarks just right.

[blakstarz]

Thanks bligmerk! Excuse the terrible tying earlier...I like these games, just seems its waay too much to do and you could easily get lost on the main purpose of the game.

I still may buy it, but I see this game lasting me months, if not years...

[bligmerk]

Of course, PC HD is going to look way better than consoles. Finding out a PS4 to a 4K monitor gives the graphics a volume effect which gets close to PC at 1080p. No comparison if PC is at 4K. This game looks like it will be worth it to play kicked back with the console, then played through again on a 4K PC. We know the PC versions are always bugged for months on end. The console versions will be just as bugged but patching is fairly smooth these days. On the art style, it is showing a possible alternate timeline plus there is the decco style dark humor from the '50s B-movies and comics. The PC version will be worth it later after mods start showing up.

[FastRedPonyCar]

Did you not play skyrim on PS3? It was a joke. PC version allows you to use console commands to get past buggy quests and broken scripts. Not to mention that there were numerous community patches for skyrim, fallout 3/ new Vegas and all the expansions that fixed a LOT of stuff that Bethesda never bothered to address in any official patches.

Console players simply get what they are given but since Fallout 4 is built on the skyrim engine, it will be familiar out of the box to all the seasoned skyrim and fallout modders so PC will get community fixes MUCH faster (that assumes Bethesda will not be as thorough with the bug fixes as the PC modding community)

[Bolts]

Vanilla Skyrim is simply mediocre. It would never be the RPG legend it is now without hundreds of amazing mods. To not have access to this on the console is shafted out of half of the game.

That's the good and bad thing about Bethesda games. They're highly mod dependent.

[ImmortalCarrot]

I'm ready for this game. Hope everyone on all platforms will enjoy the experience. Too bad my PS4 is down because of a recent power surge. Sad about that.

Well, I hoping my PC could run this on High.
