Apply the "lock bash" feature (that has existed as a mod in literally every Bethesda game) to both conventional and computer "locks". Strength is the determining factor in breaching both types of lock. Smash a safe open; punch a computer until it does what you want. Pistol-whip a door until it snaps open; headbutt a retinal scanner until it suddenly recognizes you.

It was on youtube but got taken down, which I imagine why it's on a place like that.

Also, just tell your boss it's fine, you're watching video game footage! Unless you mean your work internet is filtered then maybe use it's IP address instead of domain name?

It is up, just take off the . at the end. It's a failure on henpod, not T. "Bossman" Howard.

The hacking is different, when he does it at around 2:15 it says "Likeness=1" when he tries a password, not that "2/5 Correct" stuff like before.

Also it's funny how they somehow cheated/fast-forward the hacking bit because everyone knows it's stupid as poo poo. One person hollers "Terminal!" like a loving asspie, but everyone else is silent with apathy. However, when the lockpicking comes there are whoops and cheers. :allears:

Because its important to create an aura of mystique around a game that everyone knows is gonna loving sell gangbusters regardless of how bad some parts of it could be. Preorders only increase when the game is a complete mystery except for its inevitable success like Call of Duty or XCOM.

God, I miss the German audience that was shown in another dailymotion as at least none of them tried to be the audience's laugh track. "WOO, LOCK PICKING!" It's good that they touched the hacking up, but I'd still like it if some of them incorporated or had those weird Atari games you could download.

Also is that an actual Watermelon at 3:44 or am I seeing a sign?

It feels like they're threading a needle with the marketing for this game because everyone's going to be expecting a pretty significant improvement in storytelling, graphics, gameplay, etc. after seven years, but everything we've seen so far (except for the lighting) has looked very similar to the previous two games.

One one hand, keeping any footage close to their chest builds hype, but on the other hand, they're not showing off many reasons why FO4 won't be "just another FO3." If that's what it really is, the reviews could turn on it very quickly. And if they truly did make a much better game, they're not telling anyone.

Skyrim had plenty of flaws, but the strength of Elder Scrolls is their ability to completely change the setting as needed. People are bored of European medieval fantasy? Okay, let's be vikings and shout dragons to death! My main concern for Fallout 4 is that they haven't found that strong new identity that sets this rubble-looting simulator apart from the others.

Did I misread all the signs?
Looking forward to seeing some in-game footage of melee/unarmed combat. They have gone to lengths to talk about how they were making sure the FPS combat was up to snuff and feeling modern, but no mention of the other 2 major combat skills. The melee in the previous games is pretty embarrassing, failing to even be up to par with Oblivion/Skyrim melee (which some may also feel is pretty terrible to begin with). Hopefully they also have some combat surprises up their sleeves to reveal, like maybe dual wielding or shields. Shields might sound a little too skyrimmy but I think riot shields and trashcan lids and whatnot sound like an interesting way to add some more options to combat.

The Peculiar Convergence of Bethesda's Brainchildren

quote:

"The cat's out of the bag." T. Howard gives his nascent mustache a few quick strokes with a fingertip. "Or I suppose you could say...the Khajiit's out of the bag."

"Magic is found in the world of Fallout!" E. Pagliarulo immediately interjects. His eyes are saucers--they've got that peculiar intensity that remains exclusive to geniuses and serial killers. But which one is Pagliarulo?

Howard folds his hands and, with a certain smugness, says, "A few years ago, we took an inventory of Bethesda's IP's. Fallout. Elder Scrolls. Doom. The lists goes on and on, but you get the idea. And every property 'fractionalizes' our company a little bit more. But what if we were to streamline IP's by merging some of them together? Fewer development teams to manage, fewer marketing campaigns to run. The lists goes on and on, but you get the idea." Howard reclines in his seat and waits for something.

"You ask me, 'Emil--what difference is between fantasy fiction and science fiction?' And I say, nothing. It is all breakable. When Mr. Howard comes in and says we're gonna make two games one game, I say, 'Okay no problem!'" Pagliarulo uses his index fingers to pantomime typing on an imaginary keyboard.

"Will it be called Fallout 5 or Skyrim 6? No. We'll figure out a better name for it, but I can promise you this: All of the people who've been saying, 'oh, this is just Skyrim with guns' or 'this is Fallout with swords'--they'll actually be right. And I think that's really cool."

Bethesda's still working on the narrative details of this peculiar marriage, but both Howard and Pagliarulo suggested that the easiest solution might involve advancing the timeline until the only surviving characters are those who were born into this new world.

Bang! You're dead.
While finally getting a chance to watch that leaked footage on my PC instead of my phone I realized why so many people probably have a problem with hacking - if you're playing this on a console or with a game pad on the PC then you literally need to scroll through every single character and every single line to get to the answers. I can see how that would be annoying, on the PC I don't need to worry about that and don't actually mind the hacking game as it can actually present a challenging puzzle.

Also it looks like maybe not everywhere is open to the main map, some of the larger interior spaces may still have some sort of transition. I still think it'll be pretty different not having to run through a thousand doors when exploring and actually being able to see (and fire) through windows for a change.

Now - if only they'd release the the footage from that event or something similar so we can see what's going without having to look through the eyes of a man with severe cataracts who's hiding behind two other dudes.

They have a lock picking exhibit where they give you a lockpick and let you try your luck at 1,2,3,4 and 5 pin locks that look exactly like fallout locks. I failed at the 4 pin one.

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
"This doesn't just have a chip, it's got a PCI bus..." John Fallout remarks as he unwinds a spool of wire from his PipBoy and plugs it into the terminal. A "dial-up" tone immediately plays, followed by Fallout announcing that he's "hacking the mainframe!"

A pseudo-Tetris game appears, except the blocks are replaced by shaped code. Every time a line is eliminated, Fallout says something like, "Took out the firewall!" or "Rerouting!" The worse s/he is at hacking, the faster the pieces fall.

If the player is accompanied by a party member, they'll both huddle around the terminal and hammer on the keyboard like apes while saying stuff like "I've never seen a refresh rate like this!" and "Hang on, let me get a higher resolution..."
