I'm looking forward to Fallout 4, just so I can be disappointed.
That trailer looked terrible for a game we've been waiting 7 years on from Bethesda.
Why? I loved Fo3, put 200+ hours into the PC version and then went and tried to plat the PS3 version, loved it. From what I can see Fo4 looks to be a more improved and realised world, with green stuff that before you had to mod in, which is great, you clearly get a new companion and being in a new city which looks massive and awesome.
I really can't wait, though I really hope that they have worked on the FPS aspect of it as VATS was pretty OP in Fo3 and being able to shoot from the hip would vastly improve combat.
I feel like everyone just wants to pretend that Fallout/Fallout 2 don't exist. The series was great until Bethesda bought the rights. All they can do is consistently release subpar and buggy ass games that end up relying on the community to fix their problems.
The original Fallout/2 are amazing for their time, but have aged graphically. Yet, they are still better than the modern Bethesda interpretations. Bethesda will never actually do anything good with the series because it is literally nothing but a cash cow for them and they barely have to try to get people to purchase the game. F3 and NV are incredibly disappointing, NV less so because Obsidian had a hand in that one. The games consistently lack complexity as well, at least that is how I see it.
Now, why am I disappointed from that trailer? First of all, too much hype built on this and people aren't noticing how terrible it looks. The graphics...look dated as ****. They've finally realized not to put the environment ALL GREEN/ORANGE, but it is still lacking. Also, they totally included in-game footage in the trailer and I can easily tell. It looks clunky and a lot of models look rehashed. Which is hilarious, because everything should be new/have an original feel given it has been
seven years. I've never seen a developer be so ****ing lazy.
Are F3/NV fun games? Sure. However, are they actually good compared to the original? No. Do I expect F4 to be fun as well? Yes, but it doesn't make what I've said invalid.
I wouldn't be as annoyed if Bethesda ever tried at anything, but they are actually terrible.
