Perhaps some of the complaints by some people regarding graphics could be about too much saturated colors that look off in a postatomic setting and make it too mich bright and colorfull like if all thigs were kinda new and not much used look or ruined?

I personally think that those bright reds and blues etc shoudl be tuned down ...

Here is a small adjoustment , wich in my opinion is not really good , but gives a small idea by comparing the two images.

I repeat is not how I think it shoul dlook , but just trying to experiment with tuning a bit more down the colors .

Yeah some things do look slightly garish, those autumn trees in the trailer look particularly bad to my eye.

Poor Bethesda. People have been posting for close to three millennia about how gray/brown/dull/etc. the Fallout Universe is. They have been making blue sky and green foliage mods like crazy. So BGS throws some color into the palette and now it is garish. I predict a lot of gray sky and brown foliage mods in the near future.

A bit over saturated, yes, but I'd rather have that, than the washed out look I saw in Skyrim. Any correction that could be made (assuming it hasn't already) doesn't have to be drastic, just enough to cut it down a little.

To be fair, as time passes nature would regrow after the nukes and the bleak landscape disappear, plus the few second of death claw footage clearly show there are still some bleak areas of the game.

I for one welcome the addition of more colour.

Splitting hairs perhaps at this point. Going to need to see a lot more of the game, before I have an opinion on this myself.

Everyone wants to be cold in the Summer and hot in the Winter.

However, that paint is rather bright for 200 years you must admit.

Seems to me that the pre war shots are the worst offenders of the over saturation. At this point, we don't even know if we'll even see the pre war world in game, all we've seen so far is a 3 minute cinematic trailer. It might be a non issue when the game actually ships.

Pre-war it's very legolandish in places I will admit, but I am glad to see more colors and less reliance on filters in this game. Feels like it's trying to call back to the color palette of Fallout 1 and 2.

I love the heavy saturation of color. F3 was way to void of color even for post apocalypse.

Reserving judgment for E3 showing.

What?...

...you talking about a more darker contrast between lights and shadows. It does looks perfect the way it is, but surely a ENB mods will be on the works as soon as this launches.

Besides, thinking this is an apocalyptic environment, if you come to think about it, there is something that the sun does to vegetation when there is too much heat and in a place that there is no vitamins that the soil creates due to the lack of water or the fact in this case a toxic environment. The vegetation dies and it starts to loose that green color for the lack of nutrients the environments and the terrains creates when the environment and terrains itself is well nourished by the water and the ecosystem of the nature itself. (if you can called that way)

If you know such facts, you will know now and understand why all environments look muted in that sort of way, depending the environment itself and where is located etc.

This new color-scheme worked for George Miller's latest wasteland adventure, then it'll certainly work for the latest Fallout.

I love the colors. Finally no more heavy-handed color casting that makes the game all grey/sickly green/brown.

Bring on the color. Looks great to me.

I agree it's a tiny bit much it seems, but I would definitely rather have it the way it is than overblowing it with obnoxious color filters, chromatic aberration, and generally all sorts of unnecessary post-processing.

This. I love the new look personally.

Agree. There was zero color in previous games.

Just because its in a post apocalyptic setting doesn't mean everything has to be green or brown. If anything Fallout 4 is more accurate now.

The bottom picture looks 10x better BTW. The blacks in the top picture are completely washed out.

Me too.

If we can eat 200 year old food then paint can stay vibriantly colorful that long too. Why not?

Technically, the game could be more impressive. As for the color palette, it absolutely fits the FO atmosphere perfectly. Where to draw the line, though?

Live the world as seen in the art of FO, or desaturate the pastel look and keep the art/billboards/comics colorful instead so they stand out?

The world of Fallout can be a goofy one with ridiculous scenarios. The colors help bring that comical side out. It does not look like a cartoon and the violence and themes are over the top. I'm sure when I play it I will not think bad about the colors. You all should embrace the beauty of color.

I feel that is a deliberate decision to really play up the ideal crapsaccharine world the Old World was and create a visual contrast. I'd rather they do it that way than give it normal saturation and desaturate the game world.

Same here.

I, too, love the new colors. It is so much better. Everybody complained about Fallout 3's colors and now that we've gotten actual color as demanded, people complain. Some people will never know what they want.

People who complain about the colors should just buy gray tinted glasses. Or orange if you want New Vegas experience.

I like the colors, but I take issue with this sentiment. If you told a waiter at a restaurant that your meat was a little rare and you wanted it to be cooked more thoroughly, prompting the waiter to have the cook burn it to a crisp so that it's charred and inedible, you would be well within your rights to complain because you didn't get what you want.

There is a middle ground between this and Fallout 3's aesthetics, and some people upset with the coloring might have wanted this game's color pallet to fall someone in-between what we had before and what we got this time. It doesn't mean they didn't know what they wanted.

Just turn the saturation down on your screen at home?

Color saturation is just a matter of changing the setting on your monitor or graphics card.
