Just started playing it this morning on my PS5. I’m perpetually frustrated by Bethesdas snail like pace when it comes to this type of thing but the update seems excellent so far.
It’s running at a buttery smooth 120 FPS in quality mode with VRR on. I thought for sure their performance mode would be limited to 60 FPS so this is amazing.
Edit: apparently quality mode is a 40 FPS target internally with VRR enabled. Performance mode is 60 FPS as expected. So it’s doing frame multiplying to boost it up to 120. Still feels and looks incredible though. Quality mode is native 4K with ultra settings and looks crispy as fuck.

God I’m so old that I just wish they would do this for fallout 3.
I fully understand why they went with fallout 4 for the upgrade.
Funny, I remember playing fallout 4 and thinking damn this is not that different from three.
I got power armor and did a few other quests… Then I just got busy with something else.
Fallout 3 though, that was one of my first RPGs on Xbox 360. I didn’t blow up the town etc etc. I really really enjoyed that game although my memory hazy I was literally barely a teenager at the time
Fallout 3 wa sthe first I played in the series at the tender age of 11 on my sister boyfriends chipped Xbox 360 at the time. Left a big impression on me that I got my parents to get me it for Xmas and I ended up receiving the GOTY edition unexpectedly. I loved that game. Then when New Vegas was announced I was hyped from day one and I remember staring at the pictures that magazines had of it daydreaming about playing it. Again I loved it, after those two I eventually got Fallout 2 on PC and loved that one 2 possibly the most out of the three. Then I was next hyped for fallout 4 after it was announced and I watched all the build up stuff from Beth and I avidly watched the IGN show on fallout 4 with Jared Petty. Then the game released and I initially enjoyed it and then got bored and felt that the game was repetitive. I got it on my birthday too as it was released then. Went into the shop at about 9 in the morning after it opened and they wouldn’t sell the copy that had been pre-ordered for me by my brother as I didn’t look 18 (I was 19 or 20 that day) so I had to get the bus home and get my passport (only id I had) and then get the bus back. I didn’t get playing until 4 or 5pm. Can’t remember why it wasn’t until then, I do remember having to download all the files because it was a disc based copy.
Leaked documents state that a Fallout 3 remaster is actually coming soon. :)
Before it was acquired by Microsoft, ZeniMax Media, the parent company of studios like Bethesda Game Studios and id Software, was working on remasters of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 3, and a new entry in the Doom franchise, according to new documents revealed as part of FTC v. Microsoft. The games were included in a July 2020 Microsoft presentation about the then-potential ZeniMax acquisition.
These are leaks so I am not getting my hopes up until I see it. I feel like we’ve seen a few large leaks that have turned out to be nothing but ideas they’ve tinkered with. People thought the Fallout Anthology release was going to be a Fallout remaster several years ago.
Fallout 3’s problem isnt with the graphics, its with the story and game design.
Biggest issue is that it feels like you’re playing a game that has 100 individual, isolated and sepearate stories in it. Nothing is connected to eachother, so nothing feels alive, or organic, or with a flow.
And a doubt a Remaster will fix any of that. What it needs is a Remake, and I’m not sure Bethesdas capable of that after seeing the pinnacle of their capability with Starfield.
And I’m not saying that to be internet cool and hate on a thing. I’m saying that as someone who has loved the franchise since he got Fallout 1 shortly after its release, in 1998, and wants to see things done right by it.
What an odd stance.
Care to actually share with the class why you think a remake weird?

This is what I find odd. Isn’t this the nature of every rpg? You’re basically saying FO3 is bad because it’s an rpg. How is this different from any other open world game?
Because in well written games stuff you do affects the world, even if its minor NPC barks making comments about things. Which does wonders for making the world feel vibrant, connected, and alive.
In Fallout 3 everything is in its own isolated bubble. It has zero impact, meaning, or effect on anything else anywhere in the game outside of its bubble.
Interesting.

Thanks for linking this. It doesn’t include the PlayStation specific bug fixes unfortunately.
I found the official patch notes https://bethesda.net/en/article/4RcipuAES2k0KP7eYf2DwD/fallout-4-next-gen-patch-notes
It doesn’t mention fixes for several bugs that I remember… really hoping those notes just aren’t exhaustive.
I mean there is the Fallout Wiki
https://fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Fallout_4_patches
But it seems like they stopped updating the page a while ago.
Widescreen and Ultra-widescreen support.
This is fantastic news!
XBX, Kinda bummed there’re a few QoL mods I find it much less enjoyable to play without (weightless junk, smoother leveling curve, bug fixes, etc) I prefer over the upgrade changes. Hoping the mods get updates soon, probably going to give it a month or two then come back. Tried playing new Vegas on XBX but it doesn’t have mods on console, same with 3. I’m more interested in getting back to 4 anyway though since I already beat 3 and NV on PC back in the day but never the 4 main quest yet.
Does anybody know which bugs they fixed? There was a billion on the old PlayStation build.
Do they elaborate on which were addressed if asked? I’m gathering they must not indicate them in patch notes?
nvm see other comment that points to patch notes
I haven’t had a chance to play it yet. Did they fix the issue with Automatron DLC crashing on PS5? Didn’t look like it from the patch notes.
