Fallout 4 Graphics Upgraded With First PC Mod

Isn't there a button on my monitor that will pretty much do the same thing?

Nice to see once again gamers fixing the ugly broken mess that is Bethesda games so Bethesda doesn't have to

Color grading is nice, but I like how the original looks at the moment. What I need however is a high resolution texture pack. Texture is probably the major graphical inconsistency in the game.

And this is why the PC version is, and will always be, the definitive version of this game. When I saw that Bethesda didn't update the graphics engine, I cringed at first, but then I realized that ALL the awesome mods that kept me playing playing Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3 will in some way exist for this game as well. Here goes another 100-200 hours of my life.

Contrast is a bit higher nothing more.

Until a full re-texture and enb-Shader mod is applied, there isn't going to be much of a difference. But if GFX is the only thing that Bethesda failed to impress us with, I'm OK with that. My main concern is the fact that this game seriously does look like a slightly prettier Fallout 3. It still seems to suffer from the same idiosyncrasies of Bethesda's previous open world engines.

The only meaningful change appears on screenshot #7, the rest just removed the grittier tone.

I think the reason for this article is to show how quickly a mod has come out, rather than how good (or not so...) the mod is.

well if I change the color tone of my monitor I can achieve this as well :P Or just wear other glasses :P

I don't know why gamespot is adiment to make such a fuss of this. It'll just enable more graphics whoring for nothing.

So ... it's a little less green?

This is just more colorful

promoting early pirates that already have mods before release? ooh....

Wow..... What a difference.... You realize I could do the exact same thing by turning up the colour on my monitor right?

It's a universal SweetFX/ReShade preset, and a poor one at that. Are we really reporting on minor mods such as these now? Is PC gaming really so unfamiliar to this site that it can't differentiate a shader overlay and a texture or lighting mod?

SWEET FX is a suite of post processing shader effects - Not really a mod, its usable for almost all modern pc releases. This is just an early preset for FO4. You can change SMAA anti-aliasing, sharpening and tweak the color, gamma, exposure and more, so those saying its just a saturation tweak really underestimate the power of this tool. Like ENB's it can make a noticeable improvement to image quality

Meh

The game is visually underwhelming, like skyrim, no amount of mods is going to change that.

Can someone explain how these type of mods will work on x1? The consoles are already having trouble running the game as is...

When the mods start rolling over onto the Xbox Pony fanyboys will care.

looks like they just tweaked the saturation. Nothing mind blowing here; game looks good in either shot

Are all the cool kids gonna use this?

useless.

Wow it turns out I've been modding games since I was a kid adjusting my monitors colour/contrast/brightness levels. Must update my CV.

That's as much as Mod as me going into a game's options and changing my gamma setting. Honestly, what is this; a small saturation shift and an opacity reduction of the colorizing effect in the game world?

Well not really a graphics update as much as a slight color and contrast correction. Even so, it depends on taste. but fear not, there will be HD textures and ENBs very soon.

I modded my TV to look better when playing games. All I did was enter the menu and change the saturation and contrast settings. Glorious TV master race.

It's only a matter of weeks before the PC version gets truly beautiful thanks to mods. I'll never get a Bethesda game on my console because the amount of PC support is unbelievable.

so more saturation....

wow, so contrast, much color, very mod'ded!!
