Fallout 4 HD Texture Pack Screenshot Comparison Barely Shows Any Improvement

The new texture pack barely offers any incentive to download more than 50 GB of data.

Looks like a tiny bit higher resolution and an added detail layer with scratches, added dirt, rocks, etc... Its something, but Im not sure the jump that most higher end PC owners were looking for. I think what we are looking at here is the lowest common denominator taking precedence. Though, I dont know what more anyone can expect from a game that came out almost a year and a half ago. Its not like Bethesda is seeing any more money from this update. This was strictly fan service and a boost for those who bought the PS4 Pro.

I dont think it will look as bad as people think it will, as if this same upgrade in detail and resolution carries across every or most of the textures in the game... it should look really good. And, lets face it... its not like the games performance was great anyways. So, I dont think they could go too nuts without alienating 90% of the PC population.

I think fans of the game should be grateful that Bethesda went back to this aging title and did this for those who love it. They really see no benefit from doing so. Its their way of saying thank you and we should thak them. I know I, as a Pro owner, am extremely grateful to get the patch.

the texture packs Bethesda do are never good , the play to go for any pc gamer is nexus mods.

Lon3wolf3384d ago

Agreed their HD packs etc. have all been bad, not sure where the 56Gb went on this pack because it wasn't on the visuals :D

It's funny how textures can look better on the X1 despite its power difference with the Pro b/c of meshing mod.

UltraNova3384d ago

The can only do so much using an engine from the jurassic age.

livininsin3384d ago

To be fair, the texture packs are intended for people playing at higher resolutions than 1920x1080. I don't really see the point of comparisons at this resolution... I do agree that many of the mods on nexus are absolutely excellent.

Yep. As a Pro and 4k owner, and I expect many feel the same, it's odd to fire up Skyrim and see a prettier game than Fallout 4. They should at least be in par. This should do that.

USMC_POLICE3384d ago

I think they need a new engine, I loved fallout 4 but not much graphical improvement over new vegas. It's hardly better than the call of duty graphical improvements.

Vegamyster3384d ago (Edited 3384d ago )

Everything that i've seen from this patch is a joke, 50+gb's for something that looks worst than sub 1gb 4k texture mods lol. That said it does look a lot better than the last gen F3/NV, they definitely need to make a new engine from scratch though. http://i.imgur.com/bP5hZyV....

Fishy Fingers3384d ago

Probably (certainly) get better looking and performing mods.

UltraNova3384d ago

And..queue Matrix music > rocks...lots of rocks!

windblowsagain3384d ago

Basically your downloading all the texture work again from the original game uncompressed which is why the massive download.

But obviously the textures were not much better to begin with.

I would not waste my time,lol.

They need to look at Morrowind and see what the progression should have been from there instead of the regression we got with the next 2 games. They weren’t horrible games but they could have been so much more.

-Foxtrot188d ago

Fallout 4 just felt too streamlined and accessible to me, the perk system was not as fun as it was in Fallout 3, not saying Fallout 3 didn't have issues but 4 just felt like a complete step back.

mastershredder188d ago

So the part where you just sold the same games for the last 10 years while you focused on 76 and merch, was not a reset from the "creative" aspect eh? How very Todd of you.

lukasmain188d ago

I bought Fallout 4 (I loved Fallout 3) at launch and I couldn't bring myself to finish it or even get close to finishing it. It was soooo damned boring and bland. I played on a very hard difficulty and I had hundreds of stimpaks. One of the only games I've played for a while and not ended up finishing it. I hated it. Just flat out hated it.
