Graphics look the same and game is alot smoother on Xbox. Quit your damn bitching kids

I'm sure there's an ini tweak for pc to get the visuals back to pre-patch quality. I passed at the launch of this game though. I will buy it next year sometime.

If it makes load times faster I'll be fine. I happen to find Fallout 4 to be pretty good looking, so if it's downgraded a bit, it wont hurt me any.

I see battlefront graphics on ps4 doing a flawless 60fps...then i look at this ps2 looking game struggling to hit 30fps. lol

this is madness!

Great, so if it ran fine on your PC you just got screwed over..

Downgrading?!?
Holy sh!t...Say it aint so.

Two years into these consoles and we see downgrades in patches, I think it's time we got a new gen in the coming years please.

Game looks like shit.

The graphics were already average

The graphics were already unimpressive. Smh when people stop giving a pass to this company for their BS is the day they are actually going to improve and will put in the effort to release a functioning game without a plague of performance issues.

I actually like the game. I know folks will criticise certain aspects, but some of the things in this game must have been complexed to make.

They downgrade the visual so much my ingame compass show objective only a fraction second...

Oh look they pulled an Ubisoft, where are the pitchforks?

Downgrading the graphics is not cool and this crap shouldve been fixed DAY 1! Why even release the game if it runs like crap???

Wow, guys this was ONLY done at the Cordava Car Factory (sp?), it's even in the patch notes. Though, I don't think the downgrade was necessary on PC as I had zero performance issues inside of there.

I am bored with Fallout 4.
I feels stale.

Game shouldn't have been released in a broken state period and as if the game wasn't ugly enough.

I definitely notice the difference. On the left (pre-patch) you have a real looking fan with some nice shadow and light with volumetric fog. There's depth to the scene.

On the right you have a flat, lit, dumb looking fan, with missing shadows aplenty. I wonder if the blades even move in the latest patch. I don't remember performance on PS4 or Xbox One (I have both versions) being so bad in this area.

There's definitely an area in the Institute (right before Dr Li's work area) that mysteriously drops frames with zero effects happening.

The game looks good not mind blowing but serviceable enough, Bethesda has to cater to a wide range of systems with it's games.

After the creation kit is released in January, expect to a lot of texture packs or mods to replace many of the vanilla textures for higher resolution ones.

Going from new vegas the textures are significant, step up from last gen, although still not fond of the feral ghouls texture.

The down grade on the PC is totally LOL.

I'm currently playing on PC, and for some reason I'm getting more stuttering and longer load times with the new patch :/

I'm probably an anomaly, but... it is what it is.

note to everyone, don't buy games day one anymore, wait a couple months so the devs get there sh1t together. the games will prolly be cheaper then to.

I will only play Bethesda games with full mod support. It will take a year or two but it's well worth it. My modded new vegas looks about as good as fallout 4 in certain scenes even better (I'd argue the model nv character models are way better than f4).

Well that is embarrassing.

YOU GUYS READ THE DAMN ARTICLE????

This only applied to one area. And according to the screen shots is identical just has 1 less shadow or two. In a place that had notorious frame right. It doesn't really look worst, just different. I seriously have no idea why this game is getting shit loads of hate on this site. Stop comparing this game to witcher 3. It's not just the engine. Both games are prioritizing way different things. i bought both and Enjoy both. I don't need to hate one to enjoy the other. I can appreciate their differences. And I know that witcher and fallout both have flaws. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying them.

In my opinion I think most of you need to play 3 and new vegas again as some of you have nostolgia googles on. Which is cool. But this game is great. My top game of the year and exactly what I expected. Don't know what you guys were expecting to be disappointed.

To everyone bitching in here... I got the game on launch now and I put in around 90 hours and got the platinum trophy. It was a blast! I never had any glitching, freezing or game breaking bugs. But it's Fallout 3 all over again. I got it for PS3 at launch and completed it before it was even patched and had no issues. I guess I'm just lucky. Although the Point Lookout DLC was nearly unplayable because the frame rate was nearly single digits. I labored through it just for the trophies.

fallout 4? more like fallout 3 dlc

Let's hope they do like the dying light and the crew devs have done, patched a new rendering engine at a later date.

Is this a joke or what??
PC version too? Cmon, cant be real...

Omg!!! What a downgrade !!!! Now this game look terrible f*ck i sell this s* it today jesus now this game look loke ps1 game !!

Is it really worth updating? I been on the fence about updating this title. Nothing seemed wrong with it for me and I like the little glitches it has.

Bethesda Softworks dropping bombs. "Its a new mod guys".

A mod that downgrades. Atleast they didn't try and hide it.

They should've just released it like this and saved the backlash! When will devs ever learn?

At Larger areas, More memory required, and less visuals, what would you prefer? a 6 hour campaign looking bad ass, or are sand box with lots to discover loking meh ??

i didn't see any difference, i don't know what his talking about

The visuals in this game are fine to me, even with a downgrade. Heck, I still play my Sega Saturn, and it's no visual treat, and I think what does it for Fallout 4 is the scope. The environments seem huge. It's just a fun game to me, visuals aside.

Lol at all these comments. Kids today are gonna be in for a world of hurt once you crawl out of your parents basement. Can't enjoy a game because of missing shadows? Lol so sad. There is no hope left.

I actually lowered the shadows myself,it's not a demanding feature though,well it shouldn't have to be.The Witcher 3 however is much more demanding when it comes down to the actual power of a GPU.

Bring back freedom with magic (even if exploitable it's fun). Bring back utterly bizarre and memorable characters (starfield felt like theirs were designed by a committee of wet blankets). Bring back actual consequential player choice ie different classes and guilds/houses/etc that can't all be done in the one playthrough. And update or replace that damn engine for more seamless streaming/traversal so dungeons, towns and buildings aren't segmented separate levels. And for the love of god don't dare do that shitty dialog wheel and voiced player again

First of all, they should replace Todd Howard for that to happen.

Starfield could have become an (Xbox) megaseller and critically acclaimed milestone in the Sci-Fi genre.

I would have never let them work with CreationEngine 2 for that, but scrapped it completely.

the Fallout 4 Anniversary edition is a JOKE.. way too expensive.. and its broken.. Bethesda is a joke now..
