The Fallout 4 Next Gen update is here. We’ve gone hands on with the game on Xbox Series X, with footage of before the patch on the left and after the patch on the right. While the game has received a resolution increase, and seemingly somewhat improved colors and lighting, what is most noticeable is the framerate increase, even on the quality mode displayed here. You can even set the game to performance mode for increased frames as well. Here are several different comparisons, including slowed down footage, in order to best display the differences.
#gaming #Fallout4 #gamespot
As highlighted by Digital Foundry, it appears the game's quality-mode--at least on Xbox--is not functioning correctly. The resolution is not increased and the frame rate remains at 60fps, neither of which is meant to be the case in quality mode. As such the footage you are seeing is actually running in performance mode.
Bethesda. Bethesda never changes.
I mean the game doesn't look bad, specially for coming out in 2015. But are there going to be actual improvements with quality mode when it does work properly?
force vsync off thru drivers, that will unlock FPS and then cap it also in drivers or in msi afterburner, this update is a joke
Ive never seen a company that makes such great games, but is unbelievably incompentant at the same time.
Yet you all couldn't even tell the difference because they are literally the exact same. So you posted the video anyway lol
I don't think Todd knows what "next gen" means.
"It just works." ~ Todd Howard
16 Times The Detail 🤣😂
It just works on the next gen device.
did you see starfield?
Todd the liar, what did you expect from him?!
is the "Next gen" in the room with us?
HAHAHAHA HES NEXT DOOR😂😂
Really does look like 'War never changes' was true after all...
Bethesda......Bethesda never changes
Did y’all not listen? The fps is way better not the graphics
@@jackbodner8741so the next gen means higher fps?! Good to know thanx😂
@@Dr.AkakiaExactly 🤣🤣🤣
Next Gen? Let's just call it a performance patch.
But it does the thing now!
Only "next gen" version is PC version which has been out forever now.
Next gen means current gen
"Performance" VATS bugs, Map bugs, few zones not generating correctly (especially at the big water place), Weapons texture sometimes missing, All mods ruined, Fallout: London ruined, A reason for me to go for, piracy and get the older copy of the game and never buying games from BETHESDA ✅️
"Corporate needs you to identify the difference between these two pictures..."
"They are the same picture"
The purpose of this update was ruining the mods, Bethesda wants you pay for CREATION club
@@Dr.Akakia the purpose of this update was actually to patch in a 4k 60fps mode for next gen, but you were super close with your guess!
@@isaacfrancis5721 🤡
@@isaacfrancis5721its both
Looks the same. They should have remastered Fallout 3 or New Vages.
ey a full remaster of those would be great! don't really see a difference in this "next gen " update either TBH. the difference is running a emb on pc I guess lol
@@kooltube100well it seems it runs on series s without constant crashing which is nice.
too much work for lazy and incompetent Bethesda
This isn’t a remaster it’s a free update
i think there’s rumors about a fallout 3 remaster alr
make the game look the same while breaking all the mods that fixed it..... Very nice!
And probably while introducing the same bug unfixed
@@dacollbns6336ikr😂.... A proper, old-fasioned Bethesda merry-go-round to fix absolutely nothing while breaking all the mods that had originally fixed 'said' issues
Did they forget to put the next gen footage up? It looks exactly the same
youtube doesn't renders it well, you gotta look at it through a tv on console or pc not on youtube sherlock
@@draco2xxDo you have to give a reply to everyone who can all see that it virtually looks the same apart from running smoother?……
@@nickxcore74 "running smoother" is exactly what almost every single next gen patch has ever been. there are less games than you have fingers that have actually fully overhauled the graphics with a next gen update, most of them are maybe minor lighting tweaks and framerate increases.
The next gen update looks good, but another settlement needs our help, ill mark it on your map
Comment of the day. 🤣
Creation Engine, Creation Engine never changes. 😂
It's like JerryRigsEverything, "glass is glass and glass breaks" lol
bethesda game engine is absolutely terrible, i wish they could switch over to decima or unreal engine
@@draco2xxwhy?
Hm
@@bnbnism because it's amillion times more stable and superior in every way? What?
So, "Next Gen" officially means 60 fps on a console, with a "quality mode" that makes it.. run like it used to? While still looking pretty much the same? 🤔
Turns out if you put it to 1440p then quality mode becomes 60fps while keeping ultra settings
No the video disent do it justice
Just play on PC.
Perfectly put
This update benefits consoles only. The PC community has fixed and gone far beyond already.
That's not true. I'm seeing a lot of reports that the game is much smoother on areas that the FPS would drop a lot.
@@macdealer7936 The Boston fix mod on PC has been done a long time ago.
Yes we know, PC is better.
Console players: Finally, we have 60 fps quality graphics. PC player: Hey, I remember having that a decade ago.
@@vectorphoenix5992I play on Series S. Even tho max res is 1440p,but Fallout 4 60fps is not a new thing on this gen
corporate needs you to find the difference between these two pictures...
The "we try to capitalize from the TV show by doing nothing" update...
No kidding. It's just a way to add hype and get people to buy more CC.
did you plug your ears or did you miss the part where they said they patched the framerate and resolution? you wont be reaching for the 1080p 30fps version instead of 4k 60fps and still saying "theyre the same"
@@isaacfrancis5721 can be fixed on pc
The only difference I saw was the dog.
Me too 😂
Looks the same lol
No wonder eyewear is a multi-billion dollar industry
Maybe if you watch it on a 4k TV..... Instead of a phone you'd notice
@@fancypants5782LMFAO blud must be blind asf fr
People will say it looks the same and then complain about 30 fps on another video
It looks a lot better on my 4k oled tv
So literally zero change
except the resolution and fps, yes
Atleast some new quests
@@mohamedjear8917ive never stopped playing fallout 4 and i can confirm on ps5 there is no change whatsoever everything looks exactly the same as it always has
@OhThatsGood33 youtube doesn't renders it well, you gotta look at it through a tv on console or pc not on youtube sherlock. 60fps with higher resolution is a big difference
@@draco2xx im so dumb. I didnt download the PS5 upgrade. Duh thats why everything looked the same. Oh yea now that i did, MAJOR improvement. Started a new playthrough and very excited. Fallout 4 is in my top 3 favorite games ever. Never stopped playing
For short, everything looks almost the same.
yes ..
So, it looks exactly the same? At least it's a native app now, with proper 60 fps implementation. I've read crashes on Boston are gone. Might try it out again on my Series S.
To be fair the Boston crashes were all they needed to fix. Everything else is just gonna get modded lol
@craigkingdon4424 the resolution boost for Series S is very welcome. It ran the 900p One version. Seems (from reports), it's 1440p. It's a massive boost. For other consoles and PC, I agree. Boston was such a big bs, very disappointing.
Just play on PC.
@@craigkingdon4424And they repair it after almost 4 years
@@BryceCzirr-jz7junot everyone can afford it. Obv.
No difference, looks a little smoother fps that's it
The lighting looks a little better too but besides those two things I don’t really see a difference in anything else
its not, 60fps with higher resolution is a big difference. you can't see it through youtube, doesn't renders it well
They increased the contrast 6% and released this as next gen lol :D
@@sinanuluc5143 seems to be a running theme with Bethesda lately, low effort.
There are no graphical changes. The quality mode is currently broken.
classic Bethesda update. More stuff break than what gets changed.
I was excited to pick up fallout 4 again, this time with better graphics. But nope, not playing it again. Maybe I'll pick up hellblade 2 lol
Japan flag redesign in 1999 type beat
"Creed, corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture..." "It's the same picture."
Looks almost identical
I'm really struggling to see a difference here. Sometimes the lighting is different but that might just be because of time of day
For everyone who didn't know, if you switch your output to 1440p then it runs at 60fps in quality mode, had to look it up myself, apparently its in the patch notes
Im on pc but i dont understand the quality and performance mode for the series x and s when both run 60fps on both modes? It makes no sense
This is definitely a 16 times the detail moment
Besides the 60 fps mode on PS5 is there any diference in graphics preset?? i mean are the graphics preset on Ultra now?Shadows,textures,lighting,details,more vegetation,etc etc?When Skyrim got PS4 update there was a massive diference compared to PS3 version.
Does this counted as 16 times of details update?
I can't see nothing different 😅
I'm glad you put labels on them, I couldn't tell the difference (apart from the slowed down 50% speed clips).
All this “update” did was make it laggy, un-stabilize the frame rate, remove HDR compatibility, and crash the game every 15 minutes.
Haven’t played it yet but wanna see if it’s any different from my 60fps 4k mod i had
What about the performance mode?
the only change I managed to notice was the shadow play in the fight with the claw, and maybe fluidity of FPS
corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture Pam: They're the same picture
I've had issues with my green hud and pipboy. The characters that move on the quest screen are barely visible now. It's like the new shade of green is broken.
The icon for this video is just too funny.
Can I migrate to stuff from previous gen to next gen like in gta?
still having issues with lines overlapping on PC. might just be me but idk how to fix that
If you have two monitors try turn off the secondary monitor before lunching the game, also check HDR if it's turned on maybe there's a issue with it. Other than that I don't know.
They might as well have called it a Dogmeat patch because legitimately that was the only graphical texture improvement I could see from this video comparison.
quality mode runs at 60 or 30 fps?
So quality mode is just preformance mode off right?
next gen or sharpen dial turned up one notch?
So, is performance mode off = quality mode on??? I see ability to turn performance on/off but no quality mode on/off???
No one knows lol. I tried switching both and they look exactly the same with 60fps
My favorite part about this update is the plasma weapons Their velocity at this new 60fps is super cool to watch
corporate needs you find the difference between these "upgrades".
It looks almost the same.. is there any interactions with dualsense controller at least?
I don't see it. What changed?
They added new bugs
In all my playthroughs of Fallout 4 through the years I never ran into the Preston Garvey imposter. Low and behold after the update and starting a new game I finally met him after traveling through the Commonwealth for a time.
How's downtown Boston?
Unfortunately I have to play on PS5 I incorrectly installed a bunch of mods on my computer didn’t know what I was doing. Uninstalled fallout reinstalled still doesn’t work right :(
I agree marketing this as a "next gen" update was not the best wording, since you might expect that to include for example improved global illumination, higher resolution textures, higher quality LODs, dynamic lighting improvements, etc. None of which seem to be present here. It looks like they decreased the amount of distant LODs to give the frame rate a boost. Which is fine and good, but it would've been nice if they marketed it as a "performance update" or "stability update" or simply an "update" because the term next-gen has you thinking it'll be like Skyrim Special Edition was in terms of graphical improvements, which it isn't
Sir, I was under the impression there would be a comparison video here showing before-and-after differences.
Fallout 4...Fallout 4 never changes
The funniest thing is that the only thing they made for “next gen” consoles is 60 fps mode. That means that game on consoles looks still noticeably worse than vanilla pc version (shadows draw distance still as bad as on previous gen consoles). Thank you, Todd.
Where u see upgrade?
Now i want to know, has there been a improvement in load times?
On ps5 almost non existent
Todd, Todd never changes.
Todd Howard never lets gamers down. Never give them up.
I play it heavily modded on pc through nexus/vortex. Nothing has changed for me at all, running as smooth as it always has. Maybe it only affected the steam workshop mods?
I've seem a slight sharpness and color clarity bump in ps5...
I'm so glad they broke f4se for this. Looks like it has nearly 16x the graphics
Didn't expect much considering the update was only 9 gigs
For xbox it was 23gigs
Weird that. Apparently the quality mode is bugged on the Series X
Previous without fps boos and auto hdr?
There is a bug on the Xbox Series X|S so when you play it the game is stuck on performance mode
The music they pick... Almost makes it look like its mocking the lack of visual differences beside just FPS increase. Kinda give a funny montage vibe with Benny Hill theme.
The "Next Gen Update" wasn't a graphics update, it unlocked 60 Frames for new consoles and sets the games quality from High to Ultra. The patch fixed bugs most of those only applied to the console versions tho... and never were an problem for PC in the first place Fallout 4 also got Steam Deck Approved and a few new weapon additions. So for Console it was a fair update but for PC on the other hand... It didn't do anything good except add the new weapons, other than that it just broke mods and caused problems. Overall it was letdown, many of us expected a Graphics update like we got from Skyrim to Skyrim SE but we didn't :(
,,And-and again it just works" -Todd Howard
"I can't imagine how hard that was, let me mark this settlement on your map"
Just what i thought, negligible differences, so we had fallout london delayed for nothing essentially fs
Dogmeat looked great at least
Am i blind or theres zero difference between two? i cant notice any
Is there a difference? I cant see it.
It just works right?
Remember the good old days when you could tell a next gen game from the prior gen? Those days are gone.....Days Gone needs a sequel.
framerate boost put so much more life into the game, it's alot more pleasing to play now
Insert "they are the same picture" meme
This broke almost all my mods in FO4 that my Skyrim DLL plugin ain’t working and it needs a new update
The fact that they use an Xbox instead of a PS5 was definitely a poor choice to highlight the differences.
Fallout 4 Next Gen Update reminded me of folktale The Emperor's New Clothes"...
Surprised no one had done the comparison with the PC version.
Pretty disappointed here, they could’ve done more with all the time they’ve had. I barely notice a frame rate difference and the lighting difference is minimal. Anyone know if they fixed the PS5 DLC crashing issues?
Quality mode does not work on Series X. You are actually comparing performance mode to previous gen. Quality mode is supposed to be 30fps with ultra settings.. HDR is not working either. On PS5 both HDR and quality mode does work. You should have compared them
Playing the game it’s impossible to see the difference between quality and performance. Quality feels below 60fps but bizarrely puts my TV in its 120 fps mode. While performance mode feels smoother but my TV input reverts back to 60fps. Hopefully DF does an analysis because it’s very odd.
The only thing that looks different is "Next Gen" isn't slowed as much as we can't see the details, or it's zoomed in when the previous gen isn't.
If the players weren't told about this graphical update, then you wouldn't know.
Character models look crispier and perform better and textures are better all the way around. are ya'll blind or something?
Barely
The textures are exactly the same, if you are seeing a difference it's because of the game resolution increase. I was hoping this would include a High-Res texture pack like PC has, but no luck.
Guys we just got a 60fps patch on the consoles. That's it... Literally!
“we’ve got a slowdown mode” i’ll wait for the digital foundry video 😂
All fallout 4 needs to look Next-gen is Global Illumination; some subtle SSGI would've been the perfect upgrade without a big hit on performance.
It took this long for this?! 😭😭
We need a NV and 3 remaster asap. Mainly NV because I finished F3 and im still traumatized of the metro tunnels, not cause they’re scary, but they drain you of your energy with confusion, size and time.
Why use the XBox One X to compare when most people don't even have that console? You should've done a framerate comparison test. You should've also compared textures I also waited years to play Fallout 4 at 60fps on my console Poopoo video, but differences are too miniscule with the exception of the framerate
The circus music is very apt.
"a toothpick changes everything" ahhhh patch
are you sure its updated? If they spent so long working on this they might as well should have made DLCs work for VR
