mkr1977 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Is it possible that we will be seeing an upgrade for Fallout 4 like Skyrim is seeing? Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radioactivelad Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) It would be a hell of a lot more interesting than fishing in skyrim to see the 76 version of the engine not being crippled by Online-Jank, especially since the signs point to it vastly improving the biggest performance issues in Fallout 4, like how shadows cripple performance in the city. (They don't seem to cause the same problem in 76's equally dense areas *and* they have much greater draw distance to boot.) The volumetric lighting used in 76, while not as sophisticated as the Nvidia implementation used in Fallout 4, would also be a welcome change, no longer having to choose between the pixelation effect and a frankly unreasonable performance cost, similar to the Special Edition.

Is the new iteration of Skyim basically using the same engine as Fallout 76? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showler Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Other than the "next-gen" update, which can just mean unlocked framerates and higher resolutions, there is no indication that anything other than fishing has been added to the engine.

HeyYou Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Other than the "next-gen" update, which can just mean unlocked framerates and higher resolutions, there is no indication that anything other than fishing has been added to the engine.I think there was some other CC content included as well...... but, no idea just what it is.

showler Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Yeah, but I consider that a content update rather than an engine update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurreth Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 How much you wanna bet that "next-gen" updates just mean better support for newer game consoles, the current models of Xbox and Playstation. I mean it's advertising speak, you only ever hear it in relation to "next-gen consoles", which just means "the latest model on the market" (i.e. the current gen).

Nothing else was indicated for that update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKSE is designed to break with any update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
