Shit! Thought it was end of November!

Good job I got a few days holidays coming up

[rowan_d]

Every time I see something about this my brain goes into hype overload. Bought a PS4 just for this, basically, and have been marking time since buying it.

Of course, I've just realised I'll have no internet when it arrives and will probably need a mega patch to play it. Yes I will take my whole console round my mates house and use his, even if it seems a bit extreme. Must. Have.

You won't need the patch to play it, may be a bit messy technically without it though (messier than usual, I mean) and online features will probably be blocked

Just found out the internet is coming on the same day as this releases, so should be OK...

This turn of phrase tickled me as I imagined the Internet turning up at your front door, like something out of South Park with Tron Guy, Sneezing Panda etc. knocking on your door.

Haha, 'Hi, I'm the INTERNET'...


Yes, it's being connected rather than just turning up

So £5 to charity? If you're hell bent on spending £50 on Fallout 4 the better option would be this....

http://www.instant-gaming.com/en/755-buy-key-steam-fallout-4/

Currently £26.67 meaning you would have £23.33 change yo give to a charity of your choosing.....a far better deal for everyone expect HB I'm sure you'll agree

Think it's time for a graphics card update, mine is the recommended level for Fallout 4
might as well be a console peasant if i don't upgrade

The latest screenshots are hideous though, looks like something that was released over a decade ago. Well it is i suppose.

It's not hideous. It's not good looking game but it's not terrible. It's pretty much what I expected from a Fallout game. Grim and dingy. And that's fine with me.

It's definitely a step-up over 3 and NV.

[RivaGe]

Quite an achievement, improving graphics over a 5 year old game

[Titi Camara]

Hefty requirements if it does turn out to look poor....

Well of course. Plus, those games look pretty naff compared to other open world games at the time too. There's actually a good reason why it does too. Remember Fallout games are saving everything that happens anywhere in the world you visit. Dead bodies don't disappear, items remain where they are etc. It's a pretty constantly active world wherever you are. That does take quite a bit of processing power. So it's always going to look sub-standard compared to a game like Witcher 3, which doesn't do this.

I think some games graphics are important part of the immersion. I don't feel Fallout is one of those games.

[SamAteTheRedAcid]

Arsed about the graphics, the last ones were pretty average at best for the period they were released in and were still far better games than most of their peers. I only played New Vegas about a year and a half ago and I didn't give a shiny shite about the graphics as the game and writing were so strong.

[RivaGe]

Remember Fallout games are saving everything that happens anywhere in the world you visit. Dead bodies don't disappear, items remain where they are etc. It's a pretty constantly active world wherever you are. That does take quite a bit of processing power.

That's not true and it takes 5 kilobytes in your save at best, no processing power. In Gamebryo world is divided by cells and after a set amount of ingame time without player's visit the cell will cleanse itself of corpses and other stuff.

Some leaked gameplay floating around. I'm too close now to watch it and spoil anything. 8 days.

Just incase anyone wants to have a wee look, its just in a random part of the game, gives away the perk tree, Although if you have played fallout before theres not all that much entirely new.  Graphics as expected look fantastic, the general layout looks a tad confusing but that's the same with every fallout game i guess, you'll get used to it.

so hyped.

[Walshy nMe®]

I've always disliked the green. Hope we can change to blue or orange this time again.

Stay strong, mate. It's a bitter fight, but it's always worth it in the end. I'm staying away from anything Fallout4 related all together.
I have a daughter now, so I can't play 8 hours a day like I've been used to. Have to resort to playing at night during weekends. Hopefully it'll make the game last longer.

[stoa]

Really looking forward to this, as in my view Fallout 3 and NV were proper open-world games where exploring really was worth it...

[Twelfth Man]

Might try playing this with the Steam controller, hope it is supported.

[mkferdy]

Trying to work out how to make time to play this when it comes out.

Between working for a living and spending the rest of my time with my daughter/fiance there isn't enough hours in the day. Sacrifices are going to have to be made. I hope my daughter remembers daddy loves her

[Caffeine]

I just got a PS4 for my birthday yesterday. I am now wildly excited for Monday. I only asked for one so I could play this.

Like others I am really not sure where I am going to find the time, but I will, somehow.

1TB Xbox One with Fallout 4 (and Fallout 3 for good measure) - £300 - direct from MS too!

[El_Pistolero]

Shoddy aminations, poor dialogue, robotic NPCs, silly bugs and glitches.

Stoked. I don't even care.

It's the trade off for building a world as big and detailed though mate, like you, I don't care, I've booked a week off from next Tuesday to play it and Rise of the Tomb Raider, can't wait.

[Flash6289]

My free vault boy bobblehead for preordering from Game came today. Made me even more excited for the game. Just hoping it actually turns up on Tuesday as I've booked that and Wednesday off to play it!

[thelinnen]

I preordered from Game, got sent the t shirt and the bobble head and cancelled.

About 10 more than Fallout 3 in some parts.

Nah, I don't know. I think they should probably be doing a bit better at this point, not that I'm arsed though. Its kinda comforting knowing that I'm getting the full Fallout experience. Check out the lip sync and janky-walking effects in the new trailer. 

[Redman0151]

Not sure whether to get this on Xbox or PC yet... Gonna wait until 1 inevitably gets shit on in the reviews

If you have the option of PC, I do fancy you'll prefer the PC version. It's frame-rate is unlocked so you'll have the option of having 60fps too.

Just checked and according to CanYouRunIt my R7 200 series 2GB graphics card isn't good enough somehow. Guess it's Xbone all the way 

[iSmiff]

if it doesn't run uncapped on PC they can fuck off
