Fallout 3 Graphics Performance In-Depth Look

"Recently we looked at how various ATI and Nvidia based graphics cards fared in Far Cry 2 and the results were somewhat unexpected as we found that mid-range graphics cards were capable of playing this game in all of its visual glory. Today we have yet another impressive new game called Fallout 3, which has had the same level of hype and anticipation surrounding it as Far Cry 2 did during the entire year."

To be honest, I can't even see the difference

moses6066d ago

The textures and models in fallout 3 aren't all that detailed, but the main difference in the settings are the detail in draw distance, and AA. As of right now, there are a bunch of people working on textures mods to make the game look 2x better!

It's also good that it isn't a crysis like game because more cards can run this MASSIVE game comfortably.

Bolts6066d ago

Fallout 3 rips through 50 FPS on my PC on ultra. While the game doesn't look amazing it looks a hell lot better than my cousin's 360's. There are a lot character textures and details missing on the console. However the biggest difference between Fallout 3 on the PC and the console is the load time. The PC quick load is so fast that sometimes I get lost and can't even tell what just happened.

kwicksandz6066d ago

The PC version loads so fast that you dont have time to read the tips they put on the loadscreen.

As for the actual visuals i dont think they are that much improved really. A few cleaner textures here and there but you can tell they scaled the engine down for consoles =(

lagoonalight6066d ago

On the water shot there is a VAST difference from Ultra to High.
Vast as in very large difference in textures, lighting, depth, etc.

My question is the 360/Ps3 version water looking like high or Ultra.

I will not be getting this game simply because I don't have a PC and I am
not about to accept the version I have been given.

swinesucker6066d ago

That is a good question. Ultra looks way more refined in certain shots. Some of the High ones look like crap, that water is atrocious.

z1ck6066d ago

play this game in ultra high using my hd 4870 but had to decrease a little how far you can see the tree and houses so that i could have a constant 60 fps everywhere also had to remove the water reflection ( but i think it was not necessary the last ) anyway next catalyst will bring fixes but the details are at the max so the games is perfect

Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements

I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed

ZeekQuattro55d ago

Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.

New Vegas and Morrowind should have been first!

Christopher63d ago

Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.

OMGitzThatGuy62d ago

MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it.

Christopher62d ago

***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***

I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.

RaidenBlack62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.

RaidenBlack62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.

FTLmaster63d ago

Got a soft spot for Fallout 3, so I'd be down to play this.

-Foxtrot62d ago

It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.

They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.

neutralgamer199262d ago

Would love a complete remake or sequel with enough resources

Abnor_Mal62d ago

The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.

Yui_Suzumiya62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.

anast62d ago

They are only remaking their games that have been streamlined.
