I imagine they're merely counting down to the sale of some overpriced t-shirt, but we'll see..

What's this?? All I'm getting is a black screen with some Bethesda logos if you scroll down. I'm guessing it's not loading properly for me.

Apparently not, rumour is that Fallout 4 will be announced tomorrow.

fallout 4 ! cool!! :D
-
I looked at the page's source code. One file references "The Institute" (I.e. MIT). Another has this line of text:
PA system failure has occured.
Shutdown of the Masterbrain has been authorized and all sensitive materials have been removed for security purposes.
Please attempt re-access. Have a pleasant day.
I'm taking that as the game being set in Boston and being a dead ringer for the novel The Postman (that and all the references to that in the previous game, plus youknow Bethesda spending all that time taking pictures of Boston this past few years). The Masterbrain I assume would be similar to the super computer that was found in MIT in that novel, though in the book it turned out to have been a bit like the Wizard of Oz (people thought it was the only computer that survived the EMP attacks, and that it could work wonders, where in fact it was destroyed like the rest. The techs in charge were just making crap up and fixing bits of old tech themselves).
-
Going to be watching this closely.
-
Maybe some big-ass robots like in Tactics?
-
Well....... this has caused me to get some of the minis from Brother Vinni. Can't wait. lol
And now I have to run the Fallout PNP campaign that I've been planning for several years now.

Nothin' Zip. Nada. Zero. Bupkis.

There it comes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GE2BkLqMef4

Yep !
Just saw it. Woohoo.
This makes my day. Just kiddin'. This will make my whole decade ;D

Wowza !!!
Makes me want to boot up the old ones and play them all over again...anybody know when this is due out and on what boxes...
Am I going to have to invest in a new xbox?

I'm just left wondering whether or not the rumours of Connecticut being in game are true.

Excellent :)
-
OK, first impressions?
I totally thought they were going to play "We'll meet again" at the start of that trailer. Seriously, after listening to hundreds of classic tunes when playing 3 and New Vegas you realise how similar a load of them sound. :(
Uh, does that house from the trailer have the same layout as the one from Breaking Bad? o.O
Bonus points that they used the same Mr Handy as they did in the original Fallout 3 Trailer. Holy crap is that the same house from that trailer?! XD
Points then:
They've retained some designs from Fallout 3, as in little bits of clutter like the rockets above the baby's crib, the Enclave armour, Captain Cosmos poster, Riot Shotgun from NV. T-51b looks like its had a redesign though (no big wheel on the back). Is that Brotherhood riding those Vertibirds? If so then I take it that Bethesda took a nod from Tactics and brought in the Brotherhood's airships from there (they haven't explicitly made Tactics non-canon, and gave it nods back in 3 too).
It looks a lot greener than 3 did, which is great.
Yay, they had to get Mudcrabs in there somewhere...
Ooh, Super Mutants. :)
I see a poster on the wall of some slum telling people to "Enlist!".
Eugh, more Red Rocket Gasoline rather than Poseidon for some reason. :/
The city looks a lot more like the original concepts rather than what they went for in 3. As in its more "Metropolis" than just what our world looked like in the 50s with some crap tacked on.
Is that T-45d power armour or a later variant of it? Cool though, a nod to Van Buren where the guys guarding the Vault just before the War were kitted out in the same suits. I'm liking the redesign. It reminds me more of a futuristic car than something that's all edges (which the original design had credit to be, but given that the T-51b's been made to look more advance then the earlier armour can be too).
New weapons on the wall? I see the same laser rifle that one of the guys outside the Vault was carrying (credence to the Kotaku claim that you play as a guy from before the War? Plus the original trailer's house at military crap in one of its rooms the dog passes). A Power Fist maybe. Some smaller laser weapons (not Wattz 1000s unfortunately), and is that a Sniper Rifle?
Pipboy's not been redesigned majorly. It looks more like a bit of military gear, but thankfully they didn't change the original's useless ergonomics (the buttons are all in horrible places, as noted by the guy who originally made the thing, he only discovered this after it was finalised). It has a massive light bulb on the side now however, rather than the light being emitted from its screen (hopefully then it'll be like a directional torch rather than lighting up 360 around you like in 3 and the originals)...
Looks like the family from the start, or in other word's the game's tutorial, don't make it into the Vault in time. ...Or do they? ;)
...Probably. Least the father will.
Overall it looks a lot more realistic than 3 did, but put that down to it being a good couple of years on. Its nice to see the game looking like that though, even Skyrim was a bit off looking. However I'm also getting a RAGE feeling from those post-war towns.
-
Looks like the Mr Handy from the trailer wound up in that guy's garage . Also see a rudimentary trap made from a tin can and bottle caps and a pulse grenade on a shelf. Heh, and yeah if it wasn't super clear who the owner of that armour was there's his pipboy on that workbench.

Also a Bobblehead on that chest of drawers.
Also regarding your point about the music, a lot of Ink Spots tracks start with that guitar riff intro. Not sure why but you hear it and know you're hearing the Ink Spots.
-
The doom and woe's already started on the No Mutants Allowed (http://www.nma-fallout.com/showthread.php?203284-Fallout-4-announced-with-official-trailer) forum thread for this.
Good point though, Vault 112 was a simulation Vault that had a bunch of Pre-war people living in it. In that case the pre-war segment may be a simulation (i.e. the same intro as the film had), or the protagonist may have been stored from before the War. I'm disliking that he's voiced however, though that could be just for the intro, or not even by the player character.
Oh, and they seem to think its the same engine as Skyrim, which I'd hope. Bethesda have flip flopped between saying its that or the one they used for Wolfenstein (which to quote, is totally unusable for an open world RPG). They're reasoning, ah, picking out all the flaws with that in engine screen shot that I posted above. =P
And yes, the Youtube comments on that video are literally all just "The graphics suck". Dude good, my computer will probably be able to run the damn thing then (and that's just the vanilla game, what about with all the mods..).

Here's a better run down than I can come up with. :)

-
So.. My only complaints so far.
A. I'm gonna need a new console and I've been saving up for a Triumph Speedmaster.
B. ... I forgot sometime after the drooling started.
...Ooh, and it's got a MUCH nicer aesthetic than 3
OH I REMEMBER
THE NAME SUCKS
-
Not wanting to rain on anyone's parade and I'm excited for the game too, but isn't this thread aganst the forum rules? As I recall, non-wargaming-related discussions were previously relegated to the Open Talk forum, which got axed a while back. I understand that Fallout in particular is closely related to miniature wargaming on this forum, and again, I love discussing videogames that are related to miniature gaming, so I would just like to know when it's ok and when it's not ok to post a thread like this :)
-
OK, on topic then, what shall I be making models of first... lol
-
On topic, my Deathclaw is gon' need some changes to match that ugly thing
(http://media.gizmodo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Screen-Shot-2015-06-03-at-15.47.32.jpg)
-
Look different indeed. Beefier. Larger horns, the spine sail on the back, and the feet look different as well.
I don't have too many thing I'd like to see for the sequel, save for a stealth mechanic that more akin to the one from Skyrim instead of the less-than satisfactory one from Fallout 3 and NV.
-
I just wish they gave more close up shots of all the armour. Have to wait till E3 for that I suppose, but I was wanting to start a model based on that trailer now. :(
That link I posted of the run down at least has screen shots of each major scene, so perhaps I can use that. However they only really showed off the Power Armour and Vault suit. The combat armour that the soldiers are wearing is too small to pick out the details unfortunately.
-
They were taken to Jurassic Park for some gene slicing.
-
Actually on looking at the guy who I thought was wearing combat armour closer, he isn't. No, he's kitted out in what appears to be baseball gear! Hah, that beats all the American Football armour we've seen in previous games and Mad Max! :D
Is he wearing a Vietnam era American military pilot's helmet? Or is that a baseball thing too? ...Not that I'm trying to work out how to turn him into a model at all. ;)
(http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/fallout.gamepedia.com/3/35/Fallout4TrailerAn046.png)
-
I guess this really just leaves one question.
Do I buy a new console or go for a badass PC?
-
Can you run Skyrim? By my guess its the Skyrim engine, just a few years on. So I'm assuming that you'll just need a slightly beefier rig than was needed for that. My laptop can run that game, so I'm hoping I don't need to upgrade it for something better to manage that thing (though then again Fallout 4's coming out at New Years, so at least I should be able to prepare before then).
-
I did do tests to see if Skyrim would run on this machine and it gave me a lot of problems. >>
I could do with a nice gaming rig, really. I never touch my 360 these days so I might as well just bury the past and fully accept the master race.
-
Sir you're going to be playing a Bethesda sandbox RPG, if its not on PC then you aren't doing it right...
Seriously if you don't play one of those games with mods then you haven't played them. You could keep your console (though I think its only for XBox One) or fork out the cash for a new PC and not play any other game for two years because there's so many mods for it. ...Which totally isn't what I did when Fallout 3 and Skyrim came out.
...
.....
So, this armour with a helmet, mesh shoulder pads and a gun? Or do I give him a baseball bat?
(http://www.attheplate.com/wcbl/Pics/1930s/1931_decembrini_c_slivers3.jpg)
-
The release is still some time off and a good gaming PC can be had for a few hundred bucks, depending on what you already have :)

Why not both?
-
I should be able to run it : i7, HD6900 series (6970 I believe) and 32GB RAM
Nevertheless, been thinking of buying a new rig when the new toys hit the market (Skylake processor, DDR4 memory) :D

NMA is just as bad as /v/ when it comes to Bethesda. It's just the old men, sitting on their porches shaking canes at kids and shouting "GET OFF MY LAWN".
-
The trailer has me sufficiently excited. :) As for people complaining already about a silly trailer, well that's their prerogative. I find that vocally negative subsection of gamers online to be just noise most of the time, it's much more fun to just ignore them, they'll complain about anything. ::)

Wowzers, Mad max and now this... Post Apoc glory!!

Whelp, I didn't need those pants. Ghouls look faster and more killy, but that just might be the faded memories of F3 and having a fully repaired combat shotty talking. I am very excited and from the looks of it, I'll JUST be able to play this on my current PC!
Kinda sucks for my friend who just bought F3 though...
-
Start now and they should be able to finish by the time F4 is out... :)
-
I wonder if my rig can run this with an occulus rift or HTC vive,lol.
-
I needed a good argument to buy a PS4.
Here it is. Love the trailer and will most probably wander around several hundreds of hours there. It is awesome!
-
FO3 was on its release a moderate Hardwareeating Game. I´ve no doupt that this will be the same with FO4. Imo Everybody who is able to play The Witcher 3 in Good Quality will have no Problems with the Hardware Needs of FO4.
My personal first Projekt from this trailer will be the very cool new Nuka Cola machine :-)

That's a good point, thank you for mentioning it. I didn't feel that locking or terminating this thread was necessary- the first sticky in the Post-Apocalyptic Tales is Fallout inspired miniatures after all, and quite a few people here find Fallout very relevant to gaming interests. I suspect that the Fallout Miniatures thread will see some more additions as a result of the game. Also, LAF has similar threads on other boards.
When it's 'not okay' would be if a thread is focusing (or digresses) on the aspect of video gaming- technical details, which console is better, gameplay, etc. Keep it miniatures related and there certainly won't be an issue.

My friend just shared this to me on Facebook. Thought y'all might like to take a look. Some pretty admirable geekery here. :D

Looks great and the area seems to be huge. bigger than Fallout 3.

They're saying it's about 30 square miles. That's pretty mindblowing to be fair.
-
Have we got a release date for this yet?
-
From Bethesda's store :
The current estimated ship date is TBA.
Whatever the date, it's always too late ;D
-
They will most likely say at E3 june 16-18th
-
Im on a massive fallout binge to catch up to this one.
Who knew you could get a dog in III?!?
Kind of kicking myself for letting the GF barrow my copys of Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
-
On the upside moody its not like your GF will flee by riding a bike to cuba with your games so I suspect you will be fallouting in no time
I hope so, I wouldn't past her as something she would like to try at least once.
-

Dogmeat is best companion, especially with the broken steel addon.
-
I have never finished fallout III (or got too far ) and barely started the new vegas one.
Shame on you ! ;)
I say shame on you, but realy should take a look at myself. Played FO3 years back, then FNV with all the DLC and restarted FO3 last year, but this time GOTY edition, so also with all DLC. went through the standard game and then Mothership Zeta, Operation Anchorage and Broken Steel (I guess). Started Point Lookout but got distracted some months ago and still have to do The Pitt... ::)
I need to actually play them through the first time. Which so far is fun and the dog is a hoot. All fallout projects need dogmeat the dog or its not proper fallout I have decided.
Well, it is a fine companion, but I found the AI for plotting it's movement rather cumbersome. Lost that dog several times and on some occasions even got a message that he died :'(
-
Dogmeat is best companion, especially with the broken steel addon.
On one of my playthroughs Dogmeat suffered a strange beneficial glitch that made him pretty much invincible. Nothing could hurt him at all. Watching him going head to head with a Deathclaw or a Sentry Bot, suffering no damage while chipping away the Deathclaw/Sentry Bots health bar in tiny, tiny increments, was strangely satisfying. :D
-
Gamestop has it listed as a preorder for December 31st of this year.
Have we got a release date for this yet?
-
I realize it's barely over an hour old at this point, but anyone catch the news from the E3 press conference? Looks like we're going to have a loooot more stuff to model from the new game. Tons of customization and new features, enemies, etc. Looks incredible!
-
Officially to be on the streets November 10th of this year

Thirded. :D Gotta put that brand new full time job money to work, right? lol
-
oh I was hoping to miss this and just keep painting... not sure that will happen now. >:(
Darn Fallout 4 looking so good!
-
Aside from a lack of skills on the pipboy, which leads me to wonder how they're going to allocate them.
Likewise, little fun with the character creation.
Maybe games have to change with time but there're some lasting mechanics that could simply do with hanging around.
Eh, at least the yogi bear looked interesting.
-
Time for a runthrough of what I saw in that conference then? I haven't seen others talking about this stuff so much, so I may as well dump it all here:
Power Armour:
The modular system also means that each area independently takes damage (as shown by them turning red over time).
It can over heat.
You step into the armour rather than carrying it around in your inventory as before. Its worn over the existing character model. That you don't carry it also implies that you can step out of it if its wrecked and just leave it somewhere.
You can customise your armour with additional paint schemes (military, Vault-Tec, Raider). Also add on things like "Lead Plating" and "Explosive Shielding".
Raiders of various classes are seen wearing power armour. It has a raider feel to it however, so presumably the player can take the Raider bits and mix them in with their regular suits or maybe remove the raider bits entirely.
Creatures:
Ghouls are seen without limbs, which may tie in with the ability to strip away parts of an enemy as you fight (the Synths lose parts of their faces).
Mirelurk Queen/ Molerat Queens. There is one piece of concept art for a King too.
Aliens feature heavily in the concept art, as does a an astronaut's suit (which is seen in game too).
There are a lot of images of cute kittens...
Super Mutant seen wearing a Chinese Ushanka. More on the Chinese later. =P
Super Mutants are seen to have a mutated dog thing with them. A dead one's seen in game. I see Centaur concept art though too, so the guard dog role may be split between the two.
Mutant bats are a thing. Mutated birds, ravens, seagulls too. As well as mutant deer.
A robot that looks a bit like the Nutcracker carrying an energy gun in the style of a sword.
Other than the regular ghouls, that are a lot more human looking now, there appears to be another type that look more craven, like the Falmer from Skyrim. They're seen in a tunnel in game.
World:
Looks to be a single cell rather than multiple smaller ones that are linked together. This is corroberated by your ability to fly a vertibird and use a jet pack (which would be a bother if there were invisible walls everywhere). Also building's can have interiors in the open world too, but I doubt that larger buildings exist in the same cell for performance reasons (could be wrong).
There's going to be a coastline, with wrecked ships and a lighthouse. The docks will be an area, and it appears there'll be a friendly settlement there (also a Raider one hosted in a drydock). Notably however there's a Chinese sub beached too. What implications that has in relation to the "Masterbrain" aren't clear, but given that the Shi's submarine had a super computer in it may mean that the Institute wants you to go there at some point.
Similarly a marsh is seen too, with ghoul like inhabitants. A dead forest appears as well.
MIT looks really old and disused. For a place that's supposed to be a mecha of technology this seems odd, as in perhaps the people are all in pods or dead and there's nobody there to maintain it. There's a picture of a rather stately room with men in suits standing about in the concept art too, might be in MIT.
An airport's in the concept art too. I say airport, those planes look a lot like the Imperial transport thing (the one with the three wings) from Star Wars. Could be a space port given the aliens...
The Memory Den is a bit like a Chinese Opium den, apart from with Tranquility Loungers. Good opportunity to go and play some cool simulations.
The Building System. You can only built in set locations. Presumably to stop you from say building a wall in the middle of a corridor. This makes it easier for the AI to work, though I would have liked doing up a random city apartment. Mods will sort this out however.
Could be a ten pin bowling place too, given that there's concept art for bowling balls and a bowling outfit.
A factory of some sort. With a crucible full of metal.
An disused Vault, possibly the player's appears. However I don't think its the players as their one has skeletons in it (and we're told everyone's dead), whereas this has people. I think that I saw a raider Vault too.
Mass Effect looking pre-fabricated huts are in the art.
People:
Possibly linked to MIT, there's an image of people with a hell of a lot of cables coming out of there head.
Baseball style armour features heavily in both raider and civilian dress.
Ghoul captain of the USS Constitution. Related there's concept art of people in Colonial British red uniforms, similar to the Ghoul's outfit.
Brotherhood Scribe's outfits haven't changed much. Like a lot of the returning stuff its just a revamp of the existing design.
Pretty large range of hairstyles. 27 at least.
Weapons:
The Minigun overheats.
A conventional (man portable) tactical nuke appears in the concept art too.
Story:
Its the player character, Megaton style, that sets off that nuclear strike in Boston. There's a controller to the left of that image.
Presumably you'll be able to side with the Brotherhood or their opposition. You're seen fighting alongside them in game and in the concept art, but also fighting them too. The Prydwen Airship has Brotherhood insignia, whether or not you're the one who shoots it down or someone else does it up in the air.
Raiders have taken over a museum. Seems to be related to that leaked Kotaku script that had the player siding with some militia to fight the Raiders in that location. Militia feature in the background of concept art of the player fighting alongside the Brotherhood. Lots of images of American War of Independence paintings and posters too.
***********************
I'll leave it at that, as yes I could make commentary on the known features, but I think people would be more interested in the stuff people aren't talking about. Anyhow, plenty to mull over in terms of what we've already been building over the years and how the designs have changed. I'd say that anyone who's already making mutants based on Fallout 3 is still fine to do so, as let's just say that the difference in mutations is by region. Similarly with armour the same goes, as in they're different variants.
Here's a site that has all the concept art images on it that were shown as a blink or you'll miss it sequence. http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Blog:News/The_Fallout_4_E3_Showcase
-
Thanks for the link. I really enjoyed the show and but was looking to catch more of the stills that I missed Dearing all the action.
I really am a fan of overlapping and stack able armor. Can really coustumeize your characters look.
-
Looks really cool! Hope I can grab a special edition before they sell out...
-
Lots of interesting bit in the clip for scenery. Quite liking the look of this game. Pc is a bit out of date now mind. I may have to go play Fallout Tactics :)
-
RAAAAGGHH !!!

I hope some local chain of stores will sell them...

super lame, do you guys have game stops over in the UK?
-
Aye I noticed other retailers just weren't even selling the Pip-Boy edition at all. Though looking at its contents they're just not as appealing to me as New Vegas'. See all you pretty much have there is the Pip-Boy and Vault-Tec poster, whereas the New Vegas one had all sorts of crap. If the Pip-Boy actually functioned (as in the nobs turned and effected the screen) I would be interested, but as it is right now its just a shell. At least then third parties will be making the same thing if you want it.
I'll hold out and see what other retailers are selling as far as their exclusive pre-order content goes, bearing in mind it'll all be bundled together as DLC at some point. I am thinking however that the concept art book may be sold separately seeing as it isn't included with the Collector's Edition (if that is what the Pip-Boy Edition is).
-
I'm from Belgium. Here we got Gamemania, but I heard they don't carry much of those special editions and mostly reserve them for good customer. Snce I buy most games online (digital versions) I gather I don't qualify as one. :'(

I preordered through Amazon. Maybe the UK Amazon will have it too?
Where did you see the concept art and book Wyrmalla?
~Eric
-
Oh no, what I said that I didn't see one. That is odd, as the previous collector's editions of Bethesda's game have all included one to my knowledge. So either the Pip-Boy Edition isn't this game's collector's edition, or they're selling the concept art book separately this time around (which would be odd). They did show fifty-ish slides of concept art at E3 however, so there's a lot there, and I would love to have a physical copy of it all. Though they may release it all years later like they did with Fallout 3 and Skyrim (though that was because the artist died. Shame though that that was what pushed them to release all that stuff as otherwise it was just sitting idle and gave a real insight into those games and things that were dropped during development).
-
Just preordered a copy through Gamemania (local shop down the street) :D
-
I needed a good argument to buy a PS4.
Here it is.
Nonononnono. :o
If you're playing Fallout (or Elder Scrolls) on console, you're getting literally at least an order of magnitude less game for your money. Literally literally, not figuratively or hyperbolicly literally. And I don't mean the graphical shinies, I'm talking depth and breadth of actual play. The console versions are like severely cut and crippled demo builds in comparison.
That's not me being "master race"-y: there's stuff worth buying a one console or the other for. But for these games specifically, actually buying a console for one is just... its like using an invitation to race at Le Mans as an excuse to buy a pickup truck.
-
That !
-
what spec is it on pc..?
-
I don't think that the spec's been released yet. Can you run Skyrim on high settings? It looks like its just Skyrim with more stuff going on, so if your machine can handle that you should be all right. However I should note, and I think that I already said this earlier, that the world's more open. Previous games in the series cut the world up into separate cells for performance, this one's made everything into one location. So it shouldn't be too much of a decrease, but if you can run Skyrim at say 30 FPS I predict you'll run this game at like 20-25. That said mods will be out to increase performance.

Oh no, what I said that I didn't see one. That is odd, as the previous collector's editions of Bethesda's game have all included one to my knowledge. So either the Pip-Boy Edition isn't this game's collector's edition, or they're selling the concept art book separately this time around (which would be odd). They did show fifty-ish slides of concept art at E3 however, so there's a lot there, and I would love to have a physical copy of it all. Though they may release it all years later like they did with Fallout 3 and Skyrim (though that was because the artist died. Shame though that that was what pushed them to release all that stuff as otherwise it was just sitting idle and gave a real insight into those games and things that were dropped during development).
Ah, I misunderstood you then, sorry. And I missed the concept art presentation.
I'll be very disappointed if they don't release one. I have all the other ones.

This might have been posted years ago but I'd never seen it and given that we are talking about concept art perhaps this is worth a look. It is looking backwards not forwards but there is some mighty good inspiration at the link below, which is an album of Fallout 3 concept art, some readily identifiable and some obviously not used.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/47857688@N08/albums/72157629320774861/page1 (https://www.flickr.com/photos/47857688@N08/albums/72157629320774861/page1)

Aye Bethesda threw that up after their main concept artist died. Its a shame that that was what spurred them to do it, rather than including it all as a retail book (IIRC the one they have on their store is just a larger version of the cut down concept art book that came with the game).
Heh, if you've stuck with my thread long enough you'll see me going into that album and coming out with stuff to make. Like I donno, the original design for the Chinese Commandos (the ones that appear in game are the conscripts, i.e. canon fodder, not the special forces that were planned) or Raider Iconoclast. Aye, lots of interesting stuff in there, especially as so much of it just wasn't feasible to put into the game. Hey they could have made the wasteland and its people as varied and detailed as the concept artist envisioned, but it would have taken years to build, so instead the modellers came in and hacked it all up into a load of stuff they could copy and paste into the world. =P

Hi everyone, a bit of inspirational content may be found in Fallout Shelter (or for those who played the games, find some known Vault dwellers/Wasteland wanderers), the mobile videogame developped by Bethesda for helping us wait Fallout 4. The good news is that you only need a smartphone (and I doubt you don't own one) running iOS or Android, and if you're limited by your cellphone being too old or Windows powered, use Bluestacks (sort of Android emulator to play Android games on PC). I made a review here (http://uluelsomalien.blogspot.fr/2015/08/ulu-els0m4l13n-review-fallout-shelter.html). I'll happily answer any question you may have. :)
Nonononnono. :o
If you're playing Fallout (or Elder Scrolls) on console, you're getting literally at least an order of magnitude less game for your money. Literally literally, not figuratively or hyperbolicly literally. And I don't mean the graphical shinies, I'm talking depth and breadth of actual play. The console versions are like severely cut and crippled demo builds in comparison.
That's not me being "master race"-y: there's stuff worth buying a one console or the other for. But for these games specifically, actually buying a console for one is just... its like using an invitation to race at Le Mans as an excuse to buy a pickup truck.
If you need a good reason to get a console, (1) controller is easier to use than keyboard+mouse combo (less precise but aim assist in most games) and (2) I know few people who can play on PC without being forced to sit just in front of it (even if you have a good seat, I can play my Xbox 360 and my Xbox One FROM MY BED on a 39" screen) so think about comfort too. (3) I see PC gaming as the best gaming experience for people enjoying the "technical" part (upgrade you PC constantly to match games requirements, downloading mods for your games, etc....) but the easiest way to game (and my favorite so far, even if I have a big Steam library) is console (and I'm planning to add the beautiful MGS V The Phantom Pain PS4 console to my collection, for those who think I'm only a 'crosoft playa).
-
Pre-ordered the art book. Putting my project on hiatus until I've played the game, and skimmed through the book a couple hundred times. ;D
-
Huh, I wondered how they would sell the art book this time around seeing as they didn't include it with the Collector's edition. Hopefully in this case it'll be more substantial than the Fallout 3 one ...though at least they're selling one, unlike with Skyrim. Frankly if they could just include all the concept art from the game instead of just a selection of it I'd be well pleased, though I guess we'll have to wait for the artist to unfortunately die for that to ever happen again. =/
Whatever, will pre-order the book tonight I think ...if its still in stock.
-
Today`s the great day! Anyone done some hours in FO4 yet?
I do the first hour and I´ve to say its impressive and anoying the same time. It has Bugs like a canalisation has its Radroaches. But the good news are! Most of my furniture still fits 100% :-)
ATM I make a Screenshot every minute! a lot of new stuff to fill the vault hell yeah!
-
Nice one Delta, glad to hear all your furniture still fits the fallout universe. :)
That's a bit rubbish there being that many bugs. :(
-
5 hrs already.
Got Dogmeat, Power Armor and the minigun.
Still figuring out what's all that building stuff is about.
-
I've just seen pictures.
I feel gutted at how... Simplified it is.
-
Interaction with characters certainly is simplified.
Hopefully I'll encounter someone with more than 4 options for answering.
Given the background of the protagonist I assume there's no possibility to go evil :?
anywho, happy thoughts with these goodies :
Pipboy 3000, it's case and a Nuka-Cola bottle opener :

Damn nice Collectors Edition! I was to late to get my hands on one :'(
But to keep this topic so miniature related as possible, Ive found the first wet dream of our beloved Fallout tabletop players.
(http://www.deltadog.de/webpics/GWFW/FO4Tank.jpg)
I´ve to admit it would be a nice neighbor of my little Verti ;D
The new Verti is excactly that ugly as I´ve guessed it will be! So glad to made the old one!
What I´ve seen so far from the game, it will be a cornucopia of ideas for all of us for the next years!
-
Oh man, this game couldn't have come at a worse time! I was getting all jazzed up to actually paint/complete some of the stuff I got for Frostgrave! :'( Guess which project is butting in to capture my imagination again?? lol ;)
-
Oh yeah Delta, post them piccies!!!! 8) 8) I am not playing it at all so I will need to live vicariously through you guys lol
That BMT/BMP vehicle has a very nice streamlined front, I like the bulldozer attachment as well. :-*
Cheers

-
Sweet! Where did you find the miltary uniform and where did you find the armored transport? I need to locate those things and get a proxy figured out for the vehicle soon.
-
The Military Uniform is in sactuary springs in one of the houses in a closet.
The Tank stands in the little swamp between sanctuary springs and Corona. Whenn you go over the wooden bridge turn right and walk in the swamp its good to find.
The tank is on my buildlist ;-)
-
So seven hours into it - and no crashes or noticeable bugs. Pretty amazing for the first day of a new game (a sad comment on the poor production standards of most video games).
Is it me or is the game even more of a "figure out what you are doing yourself" than FO3?
I can see myself buying one of the guides for this one.

Been thinking about the guide, but I'd just want it as something to read afterwards. The biggest fun is exploring the game, even if that comes with mistakes.
BTW : I found one of those tanks under a bridge (near Lincoln if I'm not mistaken)
-
I installed it day of release, but haven't been able to run it due to constant crashes at launch (bar one time I made it to the main menu, then it hung starting a new game). A new computer is in order I think, though that's another story... :(
-
Thats bad Wyrmalla :(
If you need screenies of stuff to build let me know I will do for you till you have your new machine!

I like the posibility to examine your weapons.
Now if only someone wanted to make this in 28mm:

Same! I've had one or two minor bugs and no freezing or crashing (which was an issue for me with NV and 3 as recently as this year...), so let me know if there's anything you'd like screenshots of.
-
I had the same problem at first but got it started in windowed borderless mode.
No real problems since then, about 6 hours in.
-
It crashes regardless of what I do, despite being able to run Skyrim on high settings. It ran one when I uninstalled my graphics driver and rebooted my machine, but ran really slow and hung at the first loading screen. Someone needs to link me to a site where I can buy a machine with kick ass specs for £600. =P
I've no idea what's in the game to start with, so screenshots may be a bit moot. The concept art book isn't out till December IIRC unfortunately (the book which came with my copy was concept art for the other games, which I already have).
Nice to see that there's actual military vehicles this time around. There was concept art for a tank for Fallout 3, though it looked a bit T-34 like if I remember. That's more of an APC though, so maybe the actual tanks look a bit beefier (bearing mind that walking tanks existed too).

-
wow!
I`ve extracted the meshes from the game today! I´ve already found the APC in all its variants. ATM the .nif files are not convertible to .obj so a few days to wait till someone updated the modtools to do so, then we can feed the printers with the stuff!
-
There was hints at there being some Chinese stuff in the game down by the docks, anyone found that? The concept art had a massive beached Chinese submarine like the one in San Francisco.
Eugh, won't be playing the game till Christmas unfortunately, though at least the art book's out around then. From what I've seen I like the new Raider designs. Power Armour might take a bit of work though considering my existing Power Armoured models are by and large to Fallout 3's scale rather than the beefier newer style. Hmn, need to make some more Fallout models (have Stalker and Elder Scrolls crap being worked on at the moment unfortunately).

I'll be constructing mine from Dust Tactics PA like the ones in your thread, they fit the bulkier "mechsuit you climb into" style.
-
Aye I did that with the Enclave Armour, though I may need to go back and sculpt up some T-60 armour from scratch. :)

-
I might have to steal that idea too.
-
I already stole it, to the tune of ~9-12 each of the german and american armors. Just need to get some Vinny heads. :)

Raaarrr!! You are all terrible people with computers far better than my own!!! Just kidding :). Thank you for sharing the in game images. I'll be living it analog until I upgrade but those pics are great inspirations for possible terrain.
That bit about your computers? Yeah I really meant that :) .

Miniature Market is not a bad place to start ;)

Is Chinese Stealth armour in the game? What about homeland security stealth armour (doubt it). Is that Chinese Sub at the docks from the concept art in the game? Hell how much Chinese stuff is in there at all? What about Recon Armour too? Did anything from New Vegas make it into the game?
Spammy questions, though aye, its useful that people keep posting cool stuff from the game here. Youknow for mini purposes. :)
-
No CHinese Stuff found already! The Recon Armour is now the Exoskelleton you can put on the Power Amour Pieces. Has no longer much to do with the classical Neurosuit from FO3/NW.
Here my handy actual collection of stuff I plan to bring in Real life.
(http://www.deltadog.de/webpics/GWFW/FO4_Collage01.jpg)
Feel free to use from that what you want guys. Happy tinkering :P
@Wyrmalla: You has the 1/48 Mig Hind as well right? Has you still the Sprues or addational parts from that Kit? If so take a look on the Heads from the pilots. There a re two versions to choose from and one look exactly perfect for the Recon Armour!

I haven't seen a single Chinese element yet, but there are some nice new additions. I enjoy how the Raiders look more like grungy PA gangs now instead of "the S&M club goes to a 90's punk show".

That sounds like a cool design choice. Could you post some captures of the new raiders?

Check out the BOS uniform I think it is called. It looks like the old recon armor, except that it is orange.

Just wait 1-2 Weeks more. Then the first .nif File converter should be there. You can extract the plane from the meshed.ba2 file very easy. The .ba2 file I´ve already decompiled and found the stealthplane as model already in the files. If you want I can extract you the file when the .nif fileconverter is online and you can send a .stl to shapeways and have a perfect model.
-

Sure, I'll try to grab some next time I run into raiders. It's not like they went entirely away from the classic Raider look (in other words, like the psychos in Mad Max), but they balanced it out with the muted color tones and more realistic gear of say, The Road or The Last of Us. I think the final result is pretty great, and the nice thing for us miniatures gamers is that those Black Reach cultists end up being a closer approximation. ;)

That would be awesome DD! I could use those as base models to detail and then print. That will save me tons of time.

Okely dokely! That means you can handle and proceed the 3D file on your own after conversion?! As far as I´ve access to the new .nif file converter I send you a PM!

I would also be interested but have no possibility of printing myself.

I might also be interested in 3d prints

Send me the raw texture files and I can probably convert them to .jpgs, then cut the textures up into their individual components. The posts are mostly batched a couple to a texture, so that's what I did when ripping all those Fallout 3 ones.
Which reminds me, I need more printer ink. :)
-
I already did this with the extracted files so far. This time its more complicated than in FO3. The Files are compiled in the new version of .DDS format. It needs the Nvidia decompile Plugin for PS to open them in Photoshop. The Bitdepth is the weak point in this workflow. If you try to convert them in 16bit or 8 bit which would give the possebility to save as.jpg, the colortable of the texture will be damaged and shows false colors on certain areas.
Atm. I´m decompile the textures in 32bit reajust the colors and save them as .PSD. That would recommend Photoshop to use them on other machines. I tried several Scripts to automate the recompile process to 16 bit, but what work on one texture, makes ugly results on the next one. My actual "easiest" way to do this is to open them in PS, show them in full resolution on the screen and make a windowsscreenshot after this to have a colorsave 16bit shot. Reload in PS and chop the junk away. Save as .jpg.
What a F****** work..........
-
My dropbox has a few hundred posters in there; guess what I did with those... =P
Stick them in GIMP, printscreen, paste into Paint, save file. Count all the posters in that dropbox and then tell me that there's an easier solution. :D

Wouldn't mind getting those psd files. 8)

I would not mind the jpgs :) I you are willing to part with them.

:D I know but my Nuka machine has much more vertexes and prints so much smoother^^ BUT!! The T60 Powerarmour and Suit has got its way in my printfile archive for further usage.
-
I might need to fetch some of those files, though does anyone have a list of what ones are out there right now? I guess I could just mail order the print from someone who does it in the country cheap, not that I think many of us are much into that particular scene (bar Delta). :)
-
On Thingiverse came up little stuff. The people who has ripped it from the game arre developers of the Decompiletools I guess, So only little amount of items are available atm. Aside from the Nukamachine I´ve found the complete T60 Armor incl. the Framesuit.
-
For the scale I'd rather be sculpting that suit from scratch than printing. The rack though probably could be managed. Like I've said though, I'm not sure how great your printer is, but maybe with the suit you'd print off the main block then add all the details later (all the curves look like they'd be horrendous to print though).
