It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly a decade since Fallout 4 came out, and even harder to believe that it’s probably going to be about as long before Fallout releases.
Thankfully, series fans haven’t been left entirely in the dust, especially with the recent, widely acclaimed Amazon Prime TV show, while Bethesda is also set to release the game’s long-awaited Next-Gen Update as well. With its upcoming native PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launch, and with the Amazon show having reignited widespread interest in the franchise in general, it’s likely that Fallout 4 will soon be welcoming plenty of entirely new players who’ve never played the game before.
If you’re in that group, here, we’re going to go over a few core details that you should know about the game itself, as well as what its upcoming update will bring.
Just incase you were on the fence for the past 8 and a half years
😂

Hilariously, Me I never played Fallout 4 because I was always a mobile gamer (Nintendo and Vita, not cell phone) I don't have a steam deck. But if it comes out on the switch or switch 2 I might play it.
@@demonheart13honestly if you are a mobile gamer I think the steam deck is worth it. There is a lot you can do to customize the experience but for most things it is solid experience out of the box. The only thing I wound recommend is putting in a bigger ssd. It is fairly simple.
Ignore the fact sales jumped 1000% since the show
5:36 is why y’all came here.

Thanks, much obliged. 💯
Thank you sir.
Thankyou
Thank you bro.
Did someone make a time machine when I was gone?
Time machine? What are you talking about, it's 2015 man. Go play some Fallout 4, it just released!
its called gen 9...
its the damn show that has people coming to check it out, even tho the show is lore friendly at all!
Fallout 4 will always have a strong hold on my heart. I liked the lore of the vaults in New Vegas and was eager for FO4 to come out (hadn’t got to look in to the older games before FO4 came out). I avoid spoilers as much as possible and I had just returned from the hospital a few days after the birth of my first son. Wanted to play a little while he was down for a nap. After the opening scene, I had to put the controller down and go hug my son
Most important ‘before you buy’ point for PS5 players currently is that you can’t start the complete game until the current-gen update releases next week, only the base version without the dlcs
Misinformation you can play with all the dlcs accept automatron
@@gavinrowe6326no all the dlc's are corrupted i tested it only the base game works
@@thedarkderp2520wrong, I’m playing it right now with them
@@DjEatsBrains17 wrong it doesn't for me idc about you
LMAO theyre fighting down here
You forgot to mention that it is almost broken on ps5, currently. If you have the automatron dlc downloaded, the game will instantly crash. Hopefully they patch that too.
I've not ran into that issue but I've only played maybe 2 hours on my PS5 I've been waiting on that next gen update
@@match30xgaming Do you have the dlc downloaded? It’s a common issue now.
Same with me just bought all the dlc and as soon as you start up it crashes I had to redownload everything except automatron just to get it to work till they fix it
I've been playing tens of hours on PS5 without that issue. No crashes at all
The Automaton DLC is broken on all consoles at the moment. Only PC is unaffected
Since the GOTY editions are on sale trying to decide whether to buy for my Steamdeck or PlayStation right now. I know the next gen update is cool but being able to play a long rpg portably is also great
both
steam deck probably since a lot of people are having bad crash issues right now on ps5 including myself I can't even start it. apparently its the automatron dlc but thats annoying I can't use the dlc I payed for.
great timing guys! I just downloaded the game half an hour ago !
Time for Bethesda to break my mods again on PC
I'm not worried about that thankfully because i wont be going back to play the game again
This game has been sitting in my library for ages. Maybe I should give it a try someday.
The multiverses are colliding.
Returning player thanks to marketing and Amazon: "wow, Fallout is great! it's like the TV show! Glad I came back to the game!" Consistent long time player years deep in gritty mods and fan lore: "...we never left"
You can get the full game in store for2pounds
I’ve started Fallout 4 at least 10 times, but have never finished it. I do enjoy the gameplay and exploration, but the janky characters and story just doesn’t give me much incentive to see it through
ughh I wish they released the next gen update alongside the show, it's made me want to replay so bad but I know as soon as it drops I'll either restart or just stop playing if I start now
I already have fallout 4 installed on my ps5, will it just be an update? Or do I need to download a ps5 version? :(
It will be a native Ps5 version. I guess re-download it like what happened with Witcher 3 next gen update.
I guess your new to owning one. You always have to download the ps5 version of any game that released for ps4 if available. Its completely different software.
@@silentnoise6404 wasn't sure if just an update to the base game or stand alone ps5 version was all I guess I downloaded the ps4 one and should a just wait till new version ps5 hahaha
@chris98614 Nah, usually with next gen update they usually mean its actually a "new game" entirely. 99% sure its always been the case. Happened with Dragonball Fighterz, Uncharted 4, etc. When they say next update it means ps5 version. Means you gotta delete ps4 and redownload ps5 version. Hold onto the save data so you can transfer it over then delete all ps4 information of the game so you dont clog it up
Are they fixing the fps issues with PC?
I miss Nick Valentine. Fallout 4 might not be as deep as New Vegas but this is so fun to play. Time for a new playthrough I guess ...
@@DSKRILLV Agree to disagree
@@DSKRILLVshut up boy
crazy to think a show was able to get people back into playing the old games
Its commmon sense tho cause the show makes u think about the games 🤦🏾♂️
same thing happened with cyberpunk 2077
Main story is pretty middling, but the other content and narratives out there are good. If only it felt more wasteland-y outside like Fallout 3 did or gave a much longer pre-nuke or vault experience, looses a lot of the vibes that the older game gave.
All the comments saying about 9 years later😂no one think he obviously done the video with the new fallout series being out and sparking an interest for possible new players to the franchise
Well said I’m one of those new players downloading right now 😀
I think that’s the point of the comments… the game is critically acclaimed. It’s been in the spotlight numerous times. If it took a tv show to finally spark that interest then I’d like to visit the rock u call home
Nate or Nora are the names of the Soul Survivor btw.
What to expect from Fallout 4, if you've played past games, and somehow in all these years never played Fallout 4. * Dumbed down perk system * No skills (or skill checks) * No traits * A modular armor system * Weapon customization * A legendary item drop/effect system * Atrocious enemy health scaling at higher levels (certain enemies will straight up tank bullets/lasers/mini nukes at high level) * One of the best DLCs of the Fallout Series (Far Harbor) * A cool DLC, but tedious raider settlement system in Nuka World * I've got word of another settlement that needs our(your) help * Upgraded power armor mechanics (become a walking tank) * C Tier main game factions (They aren't all that great, but they aren't awful) * And much more.
Will they fix the gamebreaking bug of the automatron dlc on ps5?
nameless ? he is called nate and she is called nora
Are there doing these videos for The Next Gen update? 🤔
Current gen
I was hoping that they would update the textures. I'd play a remake but I'm not playing yet another old game in 4k 60. The TV show idea is great thought, IMO. I'd never played any Halo games and the TV show got me playing the games.
Well it’s a free update and no one is forcing you to play so your comment seems pretty pointless.
if fallout 5 would come next week bethesda would get a lot of money but they thought starfild was a good idea
Does your save carry over?
Yes, but it's possible things will break, especially if you are using any mods. Specifically mods that require the script extender. Judging by the focus of the update as well, I'm willing to bet retexture mods will also break, as well as probably UI mods.
You wild to think ya boy survived 200+ years out here
As soon as the patch realese on pc and i can game on my G9(🤞🏻) i'm back in buisness! Yeye, mods are out there,but never got them to work properly
Video starts at 5:35
Wait is this being re released?
Yes on the 25th with next gen update
If you like combat and dont really care for main story then fallout 4 is for you. I will say however Fallout 4 has more playtime than other fallouts. Far Harbor is an Amazing expansion. Storytelling, Setting and combat are all really good.
I play this game since its launch in 2015, great game but you'll need a lot of patience with Bethesda bugs and loading screens
I am still playing the game on xbox X. Theframerate is already buttery smooth and loading screens are practically none existent. This so-called next gen update seems pretty much pointless. The new Enclave stuff seems pretty cool but it seems like it is more of a DLC than a so-called next gen update. Unless you really care about better graphics.
Maybe y’all should have waited till after the update release to do this
Maybe they should have released it without people expecting to have to wait for an update.
@@secondchance6603 maybe people should do some research before wasting money
@@BreezyD-tr8bdMaybe I'll keep this maybe train going
Genius video made me want to watch it
Trying to get into this fallout hype i see. I can dig it
What do you mean, nameless survivor the character's name is Nate.
I enjoyed the TV series, didn’t freeze or crash once.
Fr, Bethesda's first bug free product, with the exception of the occasional radroach and all that.
The new players are getting this game on the low and a free nextgen update. Not bad at all
12 - new items 13 - more new items 14 -
If youre wanting to jump into fallout 4 for the first time, wait 4 more days until April 25th for the next Gen update. No sense in starting for the first time on the new gens until the update
I just bought it on my ps5 for $5. I haven’t started yet. Will this update apply to me?
@@RanHam yes it will. U can download the update on 25th april for free
@@RanHamyea bro dont play it yet ive owned it since 2015 booted it up today and if the dlcs are installed the game is practically broken lmao so just wait a couple days
I want a FO3 next gen upgrade, mainly bc I'm in DC all the time IRL
this should be renamed to "listen to 15 fallout 4 spoilers before picking it up" (for new gen players)
Sense my ps5 decided it wanted to stop working properly I picked it up on steam it gave me the excuse to finally finish 4
This is for venom snake guys dude was in a nine year coma
thinking of playing it on game pass
Thank you! I always appreciate your videos, insights, info and effort to keep us ungrateful viewers entertained.
My first fallout game.
Never was there less cause for a video!
They did just release the Prime show. Synergy!
@@registereduser it's a 10 year old game! Think how many videos there are that reference this game! 🤦♂️😅
I disagree. As someone who's only recently gotten into gaming, I only really know about Fallout through the mobile game and now the tv series. Am considering buying some more games in the franchise but don't know what to expect.
@@RivalGrimReaper only speaking for myself, I wasn’t into KZhead back when this F4 came out, so I was interested in this.
There was a video about 2 months ago preparing PC Folks for the update. It was a guide to prevent the game from updating by turning the game to read only. I have done this and I am prepared
On sale on steam for like 8 bucks
Wit the outdated engine Bethesda uses for their games, u better off playing the original version cause u really won't tell the difference
Have I travelled back to 2015?
Bro I literally got it for 2 bucks from game stop a few months back, love the game but even if I didn’t 2 bucks isn’t a lot
So it's almost like they took the Skyrim approach with this update, except that Skyrim's offered way more.
I'm pretty sure the reason they aren't bundling all the creation club stuff, like they did with Skyrim, is Fallout 4' creation club has a lot of immersion breaking stuff.
Love 4 easier to play in terms of visuals, fallout 3's environment always hurt my eyes literally hard to see shit. Fallout 4 looks amazing and it's a more polished game, also only $4 or $9 on steam right now
Wait till next gen update for playstation cuz they broke all the dlcs on the ps4 application when trying to boot up on ps5 literally tried to start far harbor today and everything was purple thought it was the codiene crazy music video 💀
Here because of the show
This will be great for console players, I haven't played Fallout 4 in a little over 3 years so I'm looking forward to this.
I have this downloaded in my library-came free with a slew of other games when I bought my PS5…I’ll need to fire it up never touched it.
I didn’t know this game was going to be getting next gen update
1 minute and now views or like?? Dang you guys fell off hard… just kidding. Love seeing the work y’all do 👍
no one likes a shaft gobbler.
Before you buy the shallow experience of 4, you should be sure you've already bought 2 and NV
Just know if you buy it on xbox achievements are broken
Which ones?
FALLOUT 4 was my 1st platinum on PS4. FALLOUT 76 was my 2nd Platinum and my last. 😂
Things you need to know... #1 Spoilers for new players
I really wish that fallout had gone with more of a distinct art style like Borderlands, or Dishonored. Instead of a more traditional style that looks like muddy dogshit. Hasn’t aged well at all. Probably would have helped it run better as well.
We can only hope history will teach Bethesda to scrap the micro transactions greed dominated on mobile devices, which was that disaster of fallout 76 and give us a full standalone fallout 5.
Dod they update graphics, i mean modders do it better!
We need remake of NV WTH
It's a bit too late I already bought it and played 100+ hours
Everyone is making contents for Fallout 4 now
Gaming bolt you know this game is old right, right RIGHT
Just tried playing Fallout 4 for the first time. Never played any of the previous games. Spent 3 or 4 hours and finding the building to be tedious. Probably not the game for me. I want to play a game with a good story that makes me give a crap about what is going on. I don’t want to be doing busy work as I already have plenty of busy work in the real world. I don’t need crap like this in my video games. The fact that people like crap like this tells me that they have desk jobs or no job at all, and certainly don’t have any chores to do around there house or apartment.
You've missed out New Vegas, which dumps all over Fallout 4. Fallout 3 is a close second behind New Vegas.
If only the game will play on my Xbox series s
it will
imagine having a series s when for less money you can get a more powerful pc
@@dannyd4339no one asked you
@@match30xgaming nice cope
@@dannyd4339 cope?
Have I woken up in 2015???
Crap, I just bought this on Playstation yesterday! If I have to pay for the upgrade, I'm going to be pissed.
For you it will be free... because you own the game
Free on any game pass
why do i jump low in 144fps
The reason why they made this video is because of the Fallout Series on Prime. So many people big mad over a youtube video. Cry me a river.
That it doesn't work on playstation with DLC installed?
Too late bought my 5th copy for $5 !
Video game review: REMAKE

I dunno... games like Cyberpunk has spoiled me. I don't expect much from this update
This is on gamepass. I tried it but it definitely wasnt for me. If you didnt get into Skyrim or Starfield, you probably wont like Fallout.
How come fallout 4 is now the top selling game on the ps store?
Because it’s like $5 right now and in case you haven’t heard there is a very popular show on Amazon based on the game
