I read that as next gen fallout 3 screen shots!!! Dammit.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

You should be banned for that clickbait title.

 

[Flabagast]

Were you guys expecting some major graphical overhaul?

It’s a 2015 game that you now play at 60fps.

Witcher 3 was a 2015 game, and it had a major visual overhaul for free

 

[Spukc]

motherfucker

hahahahaha

Garbage update the community can do themselves.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

I can't see a lot of difference tbh, but only spent ten minutes in the game after the update

In Performance mode on Series X, I immediately noticed I could see things clearly from very far away. And of course solid 60fps

Yeah ignore me lol. I realised I downloaded the patch for the ps4 version. I'm downloading the ps5 sku now.

Do saves transfer?

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Will this break all the mods

Mods are broken
Steam Deck OLED bug is back
PS+ version doesn’t update

Just your regular Bethesda patch day.

 

[keraj37]

Do saves transfer?

Yes, mine form xbone to xbs worked just fine.

 

[Mercador]

So what's the difference on PC?

 

[KloetenQuetsche]

And again....all gamer guys freaking out when something doesn't work on day one.

Maybe 2030 you've all learned that this is the new normal!

They announced this update in 2022. Yes, 2 years worth of work suggests something that should be substantive IMO.

 

[Skifi28]

The bait is strong in this one.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I thought this was about the Fallout 3 remaster. Fuck you.

 

[CamHostage]

...I'm so confused, what are we talking about here?

 

[Fart Knight]

 

[K' Dash]

maybe if you squint really hard.

 

[RoadHazard]

...I'm so confused, what are we talking about here?

Fallout 4. It's one more than 3.

Yet the PS5 version is still horribly glitched with the procedural grass placement changing everywhere - from velen, to skellige.

The greatest disappointment

There’s a reason why that’s the only game people continually cite.

Fallout 4’s received the same level of upgrades Days Gone, Horizon ZD and God of War got…essentially resolution and framerate hikes.

I would have liked to see Bethesda put more effort into making the patch even more ‘current gen’. Improved textures, better effects etc, along with some popular mods rolled in.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Running quality @120, with VRR.

There's a difference.

Faster load times. Combat feels much better.

It's in the details. Specifically, before the update I decided this would be my tell... if you're in Diamond City and look at the smoke stack in the center, at times the smoke is weird and blocky. Usually from far away like in the stands.

Now, all the smoke looks like a gas.

 

[keraj37]

I thought this was about the Fallout 3 remaster. Fuck you.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

The real value of this for me is getting a separate trophy list for PS5. That's good enough for me. Way to fucking go Bethesda!

Now give me a fucking remaster/port of New Vegas and Fallout 3.

There is no native version of Days Gone, God of War or Horizon Zero Dawn, is there?

You're telling me that game is almost 10 years old?!

 

[adamsapple]

To O Ozriel 's point, you can count the number of games across the last decade that got updates like that over one hand fingers (Witcher, Cyberpunk, Gears 5 and maybe one or two I'm missing).

Games with paid remasters released in 2024 got much lesser upgrades comparatively. Comparing Witcher with other games is kinda .. eh ..

 

[violence]

On PC I think the only mod I had was the one that deleted a lot of the fluff from the 4K textures update that was wasting gigs of space for no reason.

 

[SmokedMeat]

You think that announcing it, meant they were working on it?

 

[Revolutionary]

It's actually hilarious that some people think there was someone working on this update for the past two years.

Knowing Bethesda, they probably forgot they announced it and assigned some interns to update it sometime in the past 30 days.

 

[hybrid_birth]

I see a pretty clear difference in lighting quality and shadows. It’s pretty obvious. I’m not sure why y’all aren’t seeing it.

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Came back to this game on PC in VR. Now that there's a DLSS mod, this game is running like perfection. Loaded with mods. And it's spectacular.

 

[Vroadstar]

 

[radewagon]

Ah, yes. Jpeg compression on still images. My favorite way to definitively judge the quality of an upgrade.

 

[darrylgorn]

Playing it with the first person mod and holee sheeit does it look good.

 

[Banjo64]

You think that announcing it, meant they were working on it?

Well yeah. The standard thing to do in this industry is to announce something when it is being worked on but I take your point, this is Xbox and BGS.

 

[Filben]

Were you guys expecting some major graphical overhaul?

Well, when I'm looking at The Witcher 3...

 

[jufonuk]

The Half-Life thread was far more rage inducing.

That thread was before the split.

 

[kiphalfton]

Mods are broken
Steam Deck OLED bug is back
PS+ version doesn’t update

Just your regular Bethesda patch day.

They succeeded in getting a bunch of people to rebuy the game.

Mission accomplished.

You guys don't learn.

 

[DavidGzz]

Didn't sales skyrocket following this news? Glad I didn't get baited lol

 

[tamago84]

 

[Black_Stride]

I read that as next gen fallout 3 screen shots!!! Dammit.

Same.

Opened the thread and.....

 

[balls of snow]

Lol serves people right for getting hype for modern day Bethesda patch.

 

[Sybrix]

Fallout 4 has always looked crap, even at launch, the game was such a downgrade from Fallout 3.

The UI is god awful and ruins the experiance.

This 'next gen' update streches it all out and makes it look even worse!

Yeah but it says next gen

 

[Starbuck2907]

Looks like better shadows and lighting to me. Zoom in on the shadows on the left if it helps you see better. If the shots are taken from the same save file, why she would the lighting be different? Should be the same time of day.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Thought for sure this was about Fallout 3. Looks pretty similar to how it did. Not playing Fallout 4 again anytime soon.

 

[Don Carlo]

Slight lighting difference maybe? Will this break all the mods

I heard it did.
