It’s impressive to see how far games have come since the polygon era of the 90s

[@alehaim]

And this is in a early skyrim era engine

[@JK-gh9ej]

A GTA type of game

[@whitsword]

Jeez I thought I was the only one actually wishing they did such a game; I'd love it as well. Though another thing that could be really interesting would be seeing other countries in Fallout Universe cause I've got like NO IDEA as for what happened to Europe after the Great War. Probably my fault though. I think they talk about it in Fallout 3 or New Vegas in some sidequests but I probably forgot about it.

[@Fulllife3.2]

@@whitsword The only side quest i know where they sort of talk about Europe is in Fallout 3 where the guy who owned that one tower says that England is a much worse place.

[@tymichael9470]

I’ve stayed at the Greenbrier. What a great idea to put this in the game. The real hotel has a casino and secret bunker underneath

[@SolidBoss7]

Ty Michael hidden bar and casino? Negative. Those are/were not hidden. What was though is the secret military corridors. You should’ve taken that tour while you were there. Extremely fascinating.

[@tymichael9470]

SolidBoss7 I’m sorry I meant to say hidden bunker. And no the casino isn’t, I just stated that afterwards. And the bunker isn’t hidden anymore obviously, they have yours now

[@arbyyyyh]

They have a tour of the bunker? I knew it was there, but didn't know that they did tours... I'm going to be curious to see if there's a vault in-game. I assume that there must be...

[@SolidBoss7]

John Avitable yea it’s most fascinating. Very surreal feeling and a lot of old architecture. Can’t wait to see what mysterious things they do with it in Fallout.

[@genericrandomness3455]

The whitespring (name of the greenbrier in 76 also has a bunker underneath)

[@nikolashumphrey-howell2478]

myself and a friend went to one of the guided tours of the Greenbrier, and when we mentioned the game they told us members of the dev team spent like a week there taking pictures and documenting the layout of the hotel so they could get it correct, all the way down to the exact size of the curtain bows. it's so close with minor aesthetic changes.

[@Lukas-yd2fj]

this is soo cool! I grew up going to the greenbrier when I was little and living in West Virginia. fallout 76 did a great job of replicating it in the game!!

How about a video that compares the whole game & all its glitches to real life, that'll be hilarious & worth subscribing to you.

Why would you even want to build some run down shack in the middle of the waste when this place exist. I'd just occupy the presidential suite. You'd have large clean accommodations, lush green manicured gardens, an 18 hole golf course, and 24 hour service and security. Why stress yourself when you can live on a literal resort.

That's not close enough for me. They got some things wrong with the outside and inside of the building. The worst thing is that the name is different. Oh well. I'm alright with it because we'll be able to fix it with a mod.

[@HeadsUpTV]

[@miliardov5558]

Scarily accurate

[@rrennnerr]

Fallout is not known for the best graphics... I think if they used a different lighting engine, that would help a ton.

[@rioplats]

They've changed it up quite a lot since Fallout 4. There's a very sharp and contrasted tone here compared to Fallout 4's filtered, slightly muddy brown lighting, and the ambient occlusion seems to be more effective (though I've noticed the same artefacts when picking up objects). Maybe they've just upped the emission for all the light sources or something, but it's very... Spikey. Weird.

[@TheOrangeSunsetGaming]

Does 76 have Fallout 3 graphics or is it just me?

I'm just wondering why games in our era can't be successful without violence ; (

[@chadmulligan5629]

west virginia seems like such an odd choice for locale

[@nancyware7282]

Not really. West Virginia has no nuke-worthy targets, and only a portion of of it, mostly the Northern and Eastern panhandles are within the fallout shadows of Pittsburgh, PA and Washington DC. An underground complex could easily be dug into the mountains and hidden away until it is time to go back into the world again. West Virginia faces more problems with a massive influx of refugees from Pittsburgh and DC right after the nuclear strike than from the strike itself, and ultimately, everybody and their dog routinely forgets that the entire state even exists, making it a perfect hiding place for a nuclear shelter. As always, my $0.02USD is my own.

You guys just said that the graphics were terrible for its beta version. Now we’re comparing it?!

[@kamelkadri2843]

What's the point of comparing real live footage with real life ? ;)

[@Nesto_]

To show how soon we’ll be unable to tell what is real and what is just a game and so the Third World War will start, the war against the enemies from the virtual world. They will be able to respawn making them incredible hard to probably defeat but eventually we will provale, only to find out that at the start of the war every human was placed into a massive simulation and the robots took over and that’s when the first matrix movie takes place.
