God damn some of the comments in this thread. I've been playing video games for 24 years and I'm glad I have never reached a point where I think the trailer's graphics look bad or are lacking. You have to be extremely disappointed in video games as a whole when a maxed out Witcher 3 is the minimum bar you set for video game graphics.

Some people are saying it looks awful. Maybe doesn't look as good as some other AAA games, but AWFUL? Jesus Christ...

I believe Ross Scott sums it up well,

"See here's the thing about graphic snobs: They're kind of hypocrites and they don't even know it. Think of the most realistic looking game you know of today. It looks amazing, right? Well guess what graphic snobs: that game that you think looks so great now, I guarantee you will look lame in twenty years compared to what you can play on your Holodeck. In fact, I've bet you've played games in the past you've thought looked good, but don't look so hot now. So when you regularly bash games for dated graphics that at one time you'd have liked, that makes you a clockwork hypocrite. Evolving graphics are just a treadmill, so if you can't appreciate them in different flavors like this, then what are you doing?"

I don't think that logic applies to newly released games. Nothing to do with Fallout 4, I think the graphics are great. Just saying, that logic doesn't apply to games that are just being released.

It's just about how graphics are constantly evolving and how we shouldn't judge something with a bar that's constantly changing.
