‘Fallout 4’ Leaked Video Shows Player Walking Through In-Game Map, Bethesda Talks Graphics Secrets
Just a few more night's sleep and the vault is finally open. In the meantime, players can bask in the endless content emerging of the upcoming "Fallout 4." The latest video shows a player traversing the entire in-game map to see how long it would take.
According to a report from Kotaku, the latest spoiler was revealed by a Reddit user dubbed RedBeardedT, who showed a player running from one end of the in-game map to the other in a video that can be viewed here.
As shown in the video leak, crossing the map via running took approximately 10 minutes and 40 seconds. It was done during nighttime so the landscape was dark and there wasn't much to see over the wasteland, except for the occasional caged animals, lightning and the sort.
As explained by the Kotaku report, it's difficult to determine if the "Fallout 4" land area is bigger or smaller than other games as each map is designed a different way and the mode of transportation often plays a huge part in the walkthrough time. The size of the "walkable" space is also arguably less important than the density of the activity in the area.
In a new release on the official website, Bethesda unveiled some of the graphics secrets that make the upcoming "Fallout" game one of the most anticipated releases of the season. New technology allowed the team to be more ambitious than ever with tools such as the physically based deferred renderer so the engineers could play with the light and create more realism in the in-game world.
"We want objects and characters in the world to feel tactile and grounded, and a big part of that is ensuring that these materials are distinct — that metal reflects light in a distinct manner from wood, for example," Bethesda explained in the statement.
The developer tapped long-time partner NVIDIA to sharpen the sense of time and weather throughout "Fallout 4." The official website included the list of all the new features added in the Creation Engine, but even those who are not in tune with technical details will be able to appreciate the effect on the game.
"What's important is how this technology comes together with the art and gameplay of Fallout 4 to create a dynamic, immersive experience - no matter your gaming system," the developer said.
Only a few nights to go before the game hits the shelves. "Fallout 4" for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will be launched on Tuesday, Nov. 10.
