Fallout 4 Next-Gen Update Gets Release Date

I agree completely, Fallout 4 is a huge step backwards compared to Fallout 3 & New Vegas. Technologically it is a step forward and looks better, but as a game it traded the RPG elements for a more simplified game.

Decided to start a little early.

Question -

Does the next generation upgrade also apply to Fallout 4: GOTY Edition as well as the expansions like Far Harbor? Thanks.

Huh? There’s only one fallout 4. The DLC is part of the game, and the GOTY store listing is just the game plus the DLC.

Wanted to make sure that the upgrade is for everything including the expansions and not just the base game. That’s all. Thanks.

This isn’t Sony, so you don’t have to worry about things like that…

I’m now playing Fallout 76 to scratch the fallout itch

76 is the best fallout game in the series. The rest pale in comparison to what 76 has become over the years.

Serious?

76 lacks one thing though and that’s VATS. I absolutely love that mechanic to death in these games, but the one in 76 isn’t proper VATS.

It’s there, but in real time. Also it’s definitely proper because we don’t really have to aim at anything(which is why I hate vats to be honest).

How do you think they should have done VATS in an online game ? Pause for everyone in the server whenever it’s used ?

The way they did VATS works fine

That’s the thing, I love aiming at the body parts and then let it go! :slight_smile:

No, I realize with an online game you can’t do a thing like that like in the SP games but i just really miss it. Besides I never found the real time shooting to be super great. It works, but it’s not exactly satisfying. But I have a very hard time believing this is better than my favorite which is Fallout 3.

I assume you have GamePass, or Amazon prime (where the game is currently free right now)…

Put questioned thoughts to action and try it yourself.

It’s also on sale at the moment, no better time to finally play the best fallout game in the series than now

Really?

Sounds more like an excuse because of issues that are stalling the mods development(I’m pretty sure several of their devs have gotten work in Bethesda). I understand that updates can break mods, but Bethesda doesn’t do an update that would make it impossible to get a mod working afterwards.

Mods do get broken often when these updates happen

They aren’t blaming Bethesda or that the mod isn’t coming, just that there’s no point releasing it and have it break shortly after because of the update so they are going to wait and see how/if it will affect the mod

Yeah, seems perfectly reasonable to hold it knowing there is a big update to the game coming so they can address any issues that crop up. Not a big deal.

i hope they fix Fallout 4 achievements on Xbox in the process

Oof.

Perfectly reasonable.

I didn’t forget I had to wait more than half a year for them to fix Skyrim two years ago or so. It took them very very long. Basically the main menu became like a slide show and it would just freeze after a few seconds. The only way to play it was by going offline. Apparently only the SE was affected, not the LE.
