Support NeoGAF

[Superkewl]

Curious to see how it will differ from the already available 4k/60fps mode on XSX

 

[Pelao]

If you have a TV that supports VRR, the game was pretty decent on Series X if you installed the mod that unlocked the framerate, as it still ran in 4K and only dropped frames in the usual places, like the Corvega assembly plant and the swamps with too much fog.
I wonder if they bothered to really optimize this 9 year old game for PS5 and Series X or if they just lowered the resolution to run at a locked 60fps. I mean, it's taken them literal years since they announced this update. Certainly Bethesda wouldn't be that incompetent, would they?

Will the PS Plus version of the game get the patch, or do i have to buy it?

I am pretty sure you know the answer.

Bethesda definitely can be that incompetent and this will be a minimal effort showing.

Steam deck verified? Fuck yes!

 

[Chuck Berry]

I'm curious but I'm already thinking

"Fuck off Preston Garvey LEAVE ME ALONE!"

I always just ditch his ass right where you start off in your old neighborhood

I never use companions unless its the dogmeat

 

[Trogdor1123]

My settlements looked like hobo camps.
"Here's a cheap turret and 2 chairs, good luck fuckers!"

Was not a fan of base building, thankfully it's all optional.

I was like that at the start and then got big time into it. Loved it and spent hours doing it. I quit once I heard the patch was coming though as doing it in 30 fps is tough.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Gonna be wild to see about not only new eyes playing this game, but older eyes experiencing it again in a post Starfield world

Calling it now

Gonna be a lot of

“This is better than I remember”

 

[lmimmfn]

Yeah, nah!!!!

 

[dreamstation]

With how long it has taken to come out I hope it's more than just a resolution/frame rate bump.

 

[ReBurn]

I've been thinking about playing it again

 

[aliadiere25]

Bought the season pass now that it's cheap, already had the base game. Hope the save doesn't get corrupted this time around.

Well, some of the DLC is bugged out and makes your game crash as soon as you start it. I think it's the Wasteland and the Automatron that are bugged at the moment, so try not to download them for now. Bethesda is aware of the issue and it might get fixed during the patch.

 

[Dazraell]

I hope they stick to the release date and i'll just delay the update, that would be better imo than another delay of the mod until whenever, playing Fallout London is my preferred choice first and i'd play the Fallout 4 update later, but we will wait and see.

They released this as a statement on their Discord. This sounds more and more like they may delay it. Either way, it seems we will have a proper answer this weekend

 

[UniformDeliverance]

Probably fairly substantially since that mode is 1080p/60fps and running on the One S performance profile.

They should all get tags related to their awful tastes.

 

[Mooreberg]

Excellent.

Fallout 4 GoTY edition (with all the DLC) is currently on sale for just $9.99 on XBL.

If it's like Witcher, they might increase the price permanently after this update comes out.

I was almost going to jump on this, then I realized since my 96 hour character is stranded on a PS4 that no firmware update seems able to resuscitate, this might be the better deal for anyone having to start from scratch:

Fallout Bundle | Steam Game Bundle | Fanatical

Welcome to Fallout, one of the finest post-apocalyptic worlds...

This is everything from the $55.55 Steam store bundle, minus Fallout 4 VR, for thirty bucks less.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Wish we'd get new cheevos and trophies, but I'm doubting it.

 

[dorkimoe]

I know even saying this is ridiculous but i wish they would have updated the map in this update to match the fallout 76 one

 

[flying_sq]

Does the absolutely broken performance on PC get fixed though?

 

[lh032]

any news whereby our current saves on console will be usable?

 

[Tommi84]

Ray tracing?
4k textures?

Best I can do is 'up to 60fps'

 

[Kupfer]

So I was kind of right

Fallout upgrade comes with Fallout TV Series along with the announcement for a new Fallout game for maximum media attention.

Something like what TLoU did

Anything else would have surprised me

 

[amigastar]

I got you!

There are a bunch of mods and I recommend running it vanilla first to make sure everything is firing before you start modding, but once you're there ---

First, head on over to Nexus Mods

• FRIK - Full Player Body with IK
  Contrast Adaptive Sharpening for VR
• More Accurate Weapons
• Fallout 4 VR Optimization Project
• Improved Reflex Sight Reticle Visibility - VR
• PipBoy VR light

I'm not exaggerating when I say the VR port completely changed my perspective on FO4. I thought it was a bad game until I played this version, now it's one of my favorites. Suddenly escort missions and fetch quests feel way more engaging, and the detail in environments blows pretty much every other VR title away.

I've been researching mods for Fallout VR and DLSS mod is supposed to be very good. So that gets a recommendation as well

Fallout4 Upscaler VR - DLSS FSR2 XeSS

F4SE Plugin to use DLSS/FSR2/XeSS in Fallout 4 VR.

Would like to know this myself.

 

[bbeach123]

Update ? will it break mod ?

Thank you, and you got me! Nevet played the game but now I want to play it in VR.

 

[Regginator]

So this is a native current-gen version, right? Is there also going to be a last-gen patch for current-gen systems? (e.g. playing the PS4 version on PS5)?

 

[adamsapple]

The Fallout effect (for the wrong Fallout )

 

[rhodesianshepard]

still never finished it. Got like 25-30hrs. If this has drastic upgraded graphics, I may pick it up. The game is very dated at the moment

 

[Chukhopops]

I'm relieved to hear this will work on Steam Deck, but at a same time I know how Bethesda tends to bork mods with each of their updates, so I'm cautiously optimistic

Steam Deck Verified? Nice. Gives me a reason to finally try and playthrough the whole game.

FYI Fallout 4 already works fine on Steam Deck, in fact it’s in the top 50 most played games on it.

I think the only change is there will be an official Deck performance profile, which is always nice.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Cha-ching! I cashed in some playstation stars points and got it for free

 

[Dr. Claus]

Really disliked this game and immediately stopping playing after a few hours.


cool that it’s getting an update but I doubt it’ll interest me

This. It was a very mediocre fallout game with a few neat ideas. Also worried about the new quest. “Can you stop the evil ideology” screams lack of choice to me. Let me team up with them and be evil if I want.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Wish we'd get new cheevos and trophies, but I'm doubting it.

Why wouldnt we? When Skyrim got its new gen update it had a whole fresh list of cheevos/trophs. Im expecting the same here, plus the possibility of a new one connected to the new side quest.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Update ? will it break mod ?

Of course it's going to "break mod" Then you will wait for an update to recover Mod functionality. Unless the modder has early access, they can release date and date, but normally we wait. Not all mods break after updates, but most do, from my personal experiences.

 

[Negotiator101]

Will the PS Plus version of the game get the patch, or do i have to buy it?

Of course it will this is Microsoft not Sony.

 

[blue velvet]

Will this fix the inconsistent performance around boston area though?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Did they ever fix the shit sound engine? Hearing peoples 6 stories higher than you as if they’re right next to you?

 

[Negotiator101]

Will this fix the inconsistent performance around boston area though?

It should it's been optimised for more powerful hardware.

 

[cash_longfellow]

They had a hard time answering that question on Twitter. Sounds like you will probably have to buy it if I had to guess.

 

[mayham2199]

Nice. I enjoyed the game but it got bugged on me during the main mission and I could never continue. Maybe I'll try it again.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

Finally UW support. I've actually been holding off on my PC playthrough for this...

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Can anyone tell me - if I have mods and an ENB, but I just started my playthrough, should I just wait until this releases and then reset all my mods? New to how this works

 

[Badlucktroll]

They had a hard time answering that question on Twitter. Sounds like you will probably have to buy it if I had to guess.

 

[NickFire]

I had the same question. Glad I saw your answer. It’s only 5 right now and i doubt it will be close to 5 when patch hits.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Remaster fallout 3 and new vegas pls.

I need to play them for the first time. Didnt enjoy f4 but ill give it another shot why not

 

[FUBARx89]

I don't get it. Is it like the PS4/X1 Skyrim where they at least tarted it up abit, or is it Skyrim PS5, where it was just 60fps and some creation club crap.

 

[John Marston]

Remaster fallout 3 and new vegas pls.

This a thousand times.

 

[adamsapple]

Remaster fallout 3 and new vegas pls.

FO3 is supposedly getting an enhanced remaster in the next year or two. But it's playable in 4K/60 right now on SX too, if you have one. Or 1440p/60 on Series S.

 

[cash_longfellow]

Wut?

I literally asked this on Twitter and got nothing. What the F are you talking about ? ..you should try harder to live up to your weak ass screen name.
