War. War never changes.

Some new footage from Bethesda...

Fallout 4 – Player Freedom In An Open World





Fallout 4 – Customization, Crafting & Modding





The crafting system looks absolutely SICK! Just cannot wait for this release to drop!

There is going to be SO much time wasted on this.

So much time...

I desperately want a long barrel laser pistol!

[Malsua]

I want a pip boy....I want the VAT system though...probably in the future model.

New trailer out!









(Not my pic, not my typo. )

[Malsua]

LOL. Great trailer. Loved the casual bug shot.

I may actually call in sick that day

[MinutemanCO]

Man, those are some tight graphics. Still bringing the retro theme. I love it.

[Ryan Ruck]

Just a word of warning so you don't get your hopes up too much MMCO but, this was a live action CGI rendering they did.

In all fairness, it really is getting hard to tell these days though!

[Ryan Ruck]

Also, got my HTPC setup with a full size wireless keyboard and mouse instead of the Logitech diNovo Mini I've been using.

FO3 from the Fallout Anthology I picked up is installing on the HTPC right now. FNV and the others to follow.

Looking forward to installing some mods and replaying FO3 and NV.

Top on my list are Tale Of Two Wastelands and the Underground Hideout.

[MinutemanCO]

Ryan,

Forgive my ignorance...

Does that mean the graphics of the trailer were developed more like movie CGI graphics and that the game's will not be quite so refined?

[Ryan Ruck]

Pretty much.



Running into some problems with my Anthology. FO3 crashes when starting a new game. This is a known issue with Windows 7. Trying to fix it now.

Got FNV to run okay but it won't run well with the GFX settings it detects (said "High" was okay). Had to dial it down to Low to get rid of stutter. Granted my GFX processor is on board but I did expect better considering how new it is and how old FNV is. Oh well... The HTPC will be getting a GFX card down the road at some point.

Once I started FNV and got into Doc Mitchell's place, I found that my wireless keyboard is not working all that well. Very inconsistent on inputs. Sometimes does not register, sometimes delayed, sometimes right away. I suspect it has to do with how often the wireless signal polls or some such. Just updated the firmware on it so we'll see if that helps. Haven't had a chance to load FNV since I'm reinstalling FO3 right now.

If that doesn't work, I'll have to just get a wired keyboard and a super long USB cable from somewhere like Monoprice. In that case, I'll probably be selling the wireless keyboard. Anyone need a Logitech K800 illuminated wireless keyboard? It's actually really nice but it just looks like it might not be suitable for gaming.

[Ryan Ruck]

Update from last night: Wireless keyboard is now working perfect. No idea if it was the firmware update or simply loading TTW. Also, video stutter is now gone after loading TTW. Going to see if I can crank up the settings.

Would have posted last night but after TTW loaded, I ended up spending 3 hours playing FNV and going to bed far later than I wanted. I forgot how much it sucks being low level and barely being able to take on Geckos and having to steal everything not nailed down for a handful of caps.

No idea if FO3 will now load thanks to TTW. Didn't get that far into the game.

Here's some FO4 gameplay footage for you MMCO.

Quick video of the new "Big Leagues" perk.

[MinutemanCO]

Ouch.

[Ryan Ruck]

Just 9 days away!

Some leaked gameplay screenshots...

















A ton more screenshots and info here and here.

[MinutemanCO]

Really liking the graphics and design that's gone into the retro-modern, art deco world. My son just built a dedicated gaming computer with a mega-fantastic graphics card and monitor. We'll be installing F4 ASAP and submerging ourselves for many hours into that not-so-little world of make believe until our eyes bleed. Yeah, I suppose I could be working on my list of projects around the house with all that time. I guess it'll still be there when I surface.

[Malsua]

I'm going to disappear for a while as well

As a goof, I bought Divinity Original Sin, enhanced edition on Steam. I needed to scratch that RPG itch. It'll get forgotten about as soon as FO4 is downloaded though.

[Ryan Ruck]

Full list of perks leaked.


FO4 will be released on Tuesday the 10th, I'm off for Veterans Day on Wednesday the 11th, and I happen to have 2 sick days left. I sure hope I don't come down with anything...

[Ryan Ruck]

About 20 minutes of actual game play footage has now been leaked...

Fallout 4 - Brand New Leaked Gameplay Footage... by MogoManiac1

[Malsua]

I seriously think I'm taking the day off.

I just need to be sure the game is downloaded in time. With my shit 8mb connection, it may take a week.

[Ryan Ruck]

The second screen experience, PipBoy app has been released. Here it is for Android.

It's supposed to be in the Apple Store as well but I didn't dig up a link on it.

[Ryan Ruck]

Launch trailer is out!





"Savage Deathclaw"

Don't know that I like the sound of that...

I do hope the mini-nukes are easier to find like in FO3 and not a rarity like in FNV.
