Leaked Fallout 4 Gamescom footage

Yesterday Fallout 4 Footage taken from Gamescom was leaked on Youtube. Zenimax's copyright team was pretty fast in getting it taken down but this being the Internet it was downloaded off Youtube and put up everywhere including Pornhub(reasoning Zenimax wouldn't venture there).

The footage was taken discretely from an audience member and it is shaky, blurry, out of contrast, out of frame, has some guys head in the way for half the video and the other half is filmed between two people's shoulders. Only half of the Gamescom demo was uploaded and it is in German. Overall it is a garbage tier video and really isn't worth that much of a watch. However with Fallout 4 HYPE everyone has watched it.

Since it has been around 30 hours since the leak Zenimax seems content to let the pirated footage speak for Bethesda's work for the time being. When a low quality Suicide Squad trailer leaked at Comic-Con Warner Bros. choose to release the high quality trailer far sooner than they intended rather than allow a shoddy video to represent their product. It remains to be seen if Zenimax will follow that example. This does seem to be another nail in coffin of convention exclusive footage particularly in gaming with the rise of services like Twitch and Youtube fuelling a massive audience for live streamed events.
 
I honestly wonder why Bethesda's people went through such trouble to get this video down. I tried watching some of it and all I saw was jack shit.
It's mostly a blur with only a few things sticking out on the screen.
 
Either they are very paranoid or very stupid or likely a combination of both. And most likely they think John Q Public is stupid as well.
 
What's even the point of "cnvention exclusive footage"? Wouldn't it create more hype if they actually used the fucking internet to show the game to international audiences at the same time? Then again, this is Bethesda, the ywere content with 5 years of absolute silence between Fallouts....
 
Yeah, the footage is shit mostly. Though I have noticed that the titles for creatures became even more ridiculous. "Legendary feral ghoul roamer"? Man, what is that? A fantasy game?

If it's just a tougher feral ghoul I guess it's not that much of a problem. I'd prefer they added more types of ghouls instead though.
 
How does a Feral Ghoul roamer become legendary? Aren't roamers low tier enemies in 3? Shouldn't a "legendary" enemy actually be of the highest tier? Shouldn't it also have a unique model? Bleh, it's Bethesda, whatever.

They are copying Borderlands.

Psycho

latest


Badass Psycho:

latest
(click on it for bigger version)

Should be worth noting that Psychos are weak ass enemies (except the armored ones, FUCK THOSE). And Badass Psychos are pretty tough.

Most, if not all enemies in Borderlands have badass variants. So yeah, they're not really adding Legendary stuff like Fallout NV. They're adding badass enemies like Borderlands. And I bet that Level 80+ will be Legendary enemies only.

In comparison, Level 80 in Borderlands 2 still had few badasses. (but they were more common than previous modes. Level 80 is OP 8 btw)

Yeah and even this Obsidian guys who brought in the Legendary concept in Fallout even with a Bloatfly can you imagine a B L O A T F L Y. Lower tier as the roamer also not a unique model btw. What is not to hate about these. We should really treat Obsidian the same doing so. It's terrible and worldshacking. RPG's are dying because of that.

You do realize how the legendary bloatfly was made, right?

It was made by injecting tons of chems into it.

Btw. Obsidian has several legendary creatures without explanaition in NV and I am overreacting in my previous posting for the comic effect it's not serious.
Because simply seeing a creature named legendary in a leaked video without any context doesn't mean anything. So it's also actually a overreaction.

The Legendary enemies in New Vegas were all unique enemies found in very specific locations, they weren't just generic enemies with titles. And the Legendary Bloatfly was gigantic and could one shot you. Not comparable at all with just finding a "Legendary Feral Ghoul Roamer" at random in the open.

No. Nobody does, we only saw them on a video.

All the legendary creatures [except the bloatfly] have no explanation, but at least they make sense. A Deathclaw, Cazadore and Nightstalker are high tier very tough enemies, so it makes sense to see a legendary version of them. Ditto for the Fire Gecko.

A roamer, though, is just a normal ghoul. It would make more sense if it was a Legendary Feral Ghoul Reaver, which is a high tier tough enemy.

Furthermore, the legendaries in FO4 are found in the open, while in FNV they are unique and found in caves or other dungeons.

Yeah we don't know anything about this encounter. So does it make sense to start a interpretation as you do here? Could be special random one if in the open, could be quest related... nothing is known. Except you know more then please tell us I am sure the whole community wants to know.

Well, fair enough. It can be a special encounter.
 
You figure if that anything you're liable to just randomly encounter out in the wastes that's reasonably easily dispatched by an experienced combatant wouldn't be the sort of thing that you would have legends about. I mean, if it's right out there in the open it's more closer to "watch out for this dangerous thing" as a point of fact, and if it's not actually that dangerous then it's not really a good story.

The whole point of the "Legendary" label in New Vegas was to reflect that people would tell stories about how in a cave filled with Deathclaws there was one that was even bigger than the rest, which is something nobody would bother to verify since "wandering into a cave filled with Deathclaws" is not something the average wastelander will do on purpose, even if they want to see the extra-big one.

But it's not a bad idea to have monsters that are "extra tough" variants of common monsters, but "Legendary" is the wrong word for them if you're not going to put them in a context that would make them potentially the subject of local folklore.

You don't know how random encounter work in FO3 I assume (there is a reason why I wrote special random encounter the better word would have been unique)? Again we don't know anything about this encounter yet and if it is a regular one, quest related, unique random encounter whatever...
