And Im just as jaded of a gamer as anyone else here, and just as much of a graphics whore. Does anyone else here not understand the crying about how "bad" Fallout 4's graphics are? I thought the game looked amazing, better than I expected it to look.
We all know that graphics are not what we play Fallout for anyways, but I feel that the complaining about its graphics comes from a warped perspective from some gamers, about how powerful (read: weak) these consoles actually are, and what they actually expected the game to look like. I've went on record saying this here, and I'll say it again:
These consoles are using 2011 technology. NOTHING we will EVER see on these consoles, is something that couldn't have been done in 2011. Not Uncharted, not Gears 4, not Halo, not TLOU2, not Ryse, not The Order. These consoles are using DUMBED DOWN versions of already mid-range LAPTOP GPUs from 2011. Tech that's been on the market for 4 years. Some naive people who don't understand this (alot of them are also Cows, btw), have a romanticized idea of what these consoles are capable of, and their own ignorance misplaced hype was their undoing. There isnt a single game I've even played on my own PS4 (out of 52 games, 20 retail) that I would know that I wasnt playing a last gen console outside of resolution and framerate.
Rather than talking about the good things about Fallout 4's graphics, like the fact that its engine uses physically based rendering/materials now (which look amazing), the discussion is about how "bad"(lol) the game looks (it doesnt) compared to what they imagined it to look like.
What I want you to leave here with System Wars (well, most of you understand this)(except Cows), is to tempur your expectations (Except for Cows though. I enjoy reading your stupidity :). See gpuking, AM-Gamer, etc)
