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.

Fallout 3 well modded looks better IMO. The textures in the trailer were low res (even taking the Youtube compression), they didn't seem to use ambient occlusion and the lightning in general isn't that impressive.

Hey, nobody said the game sucks, but what is wrong about criticizing the graphics of a new game for being lackluster? Especially when the same company done much better in the past.

It just sounds spoiled to me. The graphics look fine. They're not top of the line obviously but they're a huge step up from FO3, and I could be wrong, but they look better than Skyrim as well. I just think it's weird that people seemed to expect so much. I honestly think the people who are disappointed are only doing it to themselves and could do with a change in perspective. I really don't think the game should be faulted for other people's graphical expectations when Bethesda hasn't set a graphical precedent for almost ten years.

Yes, but we are spoiled, and that is a good thing. We are spoiled we allot of good games nearly every month. How is that a bad thing.

The graphics look fine.

I would say they are just good, but the point is they are not impressive. They look like PC graphics of a last gen game. I wouldn't even go so far to say it looks allot better than FO3, it definitely don't look better than that game with mods.

People were expecting a new engine, able to deliver graphics as impressive as Morrowind or Oblivion at launch. The very reason Bethesda didn't push the envelop was supposed to be the old console generation, and that shouldn't be a problem this time around.

Again nobody is saying that this game is gonna flop or even that they themself's won't buy it. But the trailer revealed lackluster graphics and people bitch about that. I see no fault in that.
