I wouldn't say that's a "big" difference for an 8 year gap. I'd just say the difference doesn't matter.

Or maybe there is a big difference but something about it still doesn't really look good.

Either way, my point is Fallout 4's graphics don't look good and that's fine. Why can't people be comfortable with that?

I think the problem is that both fallout 3 and fallout 4 seem to be behind other games in their generation. Fallout 3, when it came out it was an amazing game, but an awful looking one in the same time. Huge difference between 3 and 4, but doesn't mean 4 looks on par with other games from this generation. I personally don't care. Enjoyed the hell out of fallout 3, will have a blast in fallout 4 as long as they didn't dumb it down (bethesda likes to do that with every next game).

@timesplitter: I highly disagree
The screen shots look good. Full of color and the lighting is great. It might not be the best looking game, no.but plenty of people who's played it said it looks good.

How are they misguided lol? The difference between both is night and day.

Take a look at this.

I read this one online:

"Fallout offers 1000 hours of content, but ughh the hair on the dog is not well renderred. So F$#@ Fallout."

People are just stupid i geuss.

@Lev1903
The thing is; by saying F4's graphics don't look good, people aren't saying F4 won't be good or won't be worth it. This misunderstanding is the biggest problem here. Your example doesn't apply here because we are only talking about the dog's hair, not the amount of content. If you say the dog's hair isn't well-rendered, then we all agree.

This is typical of gaming culture. If someone says something isn't perfect, people are gonna think that person has a secret hateful agenda against that thing.

Hear this: I think F4 looks like crap and will be the best game this year. Why does this confuse people?

a lot of entitled gamers. They forget that many games today are built to simply look good. Here is a game valuing gameplay over graphics and yet people still complain? Hell it looks beautiful. Maybe a few games look better, but they never have the depth or scale

Probably the Unreal Engine issues, I skipped it for that reason.
