Oh, and when I mentioned the android stuff earlier, I noticed some jumped immediately on my comment to 'deny' it- interesting. We know Bethesda has people posting here, of course, and I appreciate they don't enjoy the fact that game details have leaked ahead of their own planned PR campaign.

The Reddit source claims a 'new' engine for the current gen platforms, but I wonder if the Witcher 3 issue didn't strike this project as well, with a change to a MUCH weaker engine to keep Xbone performance of Fallout 4 to an acceptable level. Remember, even though the PS4 is a MUCH faster platform than the Xbone, even the PS4 is a little slower than a moderate gaming PC with a 750TI or 260X GPU.

If the Reddit source is correct, the 'all new engine' could be a massively reworked version of iDtech, but Skyrim also boasted a 'new' engine that eventually proved to be just another iteration of the Gamebryo one. and the trailer looks awfully like Skyrim with better assets and a better post processing system. I think the plan to use an amazing new engine faltered for the reason I said above, and Fallout 4, like Witcher 3, ended up returning to an engine based on the last gen console code.

The dreadful performance of Microsoft's Xbone console is going to be crippling PC gaming for years to come.

I thought that was a load of nonsense when I first saw it but now I'm not so sure, she mentions a spin off made by a company called Behaviour Interactive so I checked them out and they list Bethesda as a partner.

While on that site something else caught my eye, I came across this job ad http://www.bhvr.com/careers/employment-opportunities/ it mentions "maintenance of various features and optimization of Havok Physics module for a AAA game, part a major franchise which has won numerous awards." which of course could be anything, however further down it says this....

@Rioplats - No, it wouldn't be wrong to me because that mod quest isn't part of the original game so I wouldn't expect voice acting from the Protagonist.

I hope this is a older version of the game and/or pre-render, because the rest is alittle iffy texture/mesh/animation wise.

I will reserve the judgement on that after E3 and more info is released.

My hopes is FO3 world design, FNV character and story design (not appearance but personality ect), I think that would be a great game.

Mostly please just give us good RPG elements and some survival stuff built in like FNV Hardcore.

Mods can pretty much fix and upgrade everything, though. :)

As for the dogs, I'm just glad that they act more life-like (looking around, sniffing the ground, etc.) and sound much better, too. I've owned dogs pretty much my whole life and these dogs are pretty well done for a game (from what I've seen). :)

Personally I just hope the protagonist is not voiced.

[reyiss]

Already put in my pre-order for xbox one and PC.

 

i put mine in at gamestop. http://www.gamestop.com/collection/fallout4

 

Hopefully I have my new PC rigged up by then. If so I guess the xbox one version will just collect dust.

But in the trailer, it looks like the MC makes it into Vault 111 right when the bombs fell and it shows him leaving Vault 111 200+ years later. Also, in December 2013 it was revealed that the MC would be woke up from suspended animation :

"Casting calls for both the male and female versions of the player character note that the player begins the game in a cryogenic sleep chamber."

It amazes me how people can tell and comment so much just by looking at the trailer.

In my opinion, no gaming companies can satisfy all players.

There will be always at least one who complain about it or perhaps hate it.

 

I'm just happy that Bethesda makes Fallout 4 and hope that it is better (in gameplay, combat, features, etc.)
