Wait, did I just figured there are no Iron Sights...again?!?

Post » Wed Dec 02, 2015 4:48 pm

Or at least only on guns that have a scopes attached? I've watched ~10 videos on Yotube and non of them showed a iron sight mode whatsoever? Aiming with iron sights is essential for modern shooter games. I get you want to attract action orientated consolers, but you should have at least let that open for choice. If someone wants to constantly kill without aiming I'm ok with it, but excluding realism orientated players from your set of consumers is extremely disappointing. Modding this in will take at least take 6 month or more, which basically means I can't play the game before, which in return would mean, right now I'm not necessarily motivated to preorder the game.

Please someone confirm all guns have iron sights...:(

Really only the GECK release dictates how long it'll take for someone to start working on this.

Considering we are shown mods that improve accuracy in sighted mode, I would say that it's in ;)

Yea... the improved sights mods kind of prove that there is in fact iron sights.

Also there are mods called Improved Sights and Glow Sights shown in the crafting footage. Iron sights are almost certainly available on weapons that would logically have them (probably not larger weapons like the Junk Jet or Minigun).

You didn't watch closely then. There is a section where a laser rifle does indeed zoom in to aim with the iron sight on it.

Yes, that's what I said, the function for aiming are there, but they have to be modded correctly for guns without scopes, and I remember how this took ages for modders to import it for FO3. Look at the videos, when Scott fires the pistol, the aim only goes half way in.

I can't help but feel that this is a really disappointing decision by the developers. Give us choice, not absolutes.

The in-game weapon modifications, not player made mods.

It looks like you're over anolyzing the footage a little. Most of the evidence points to the same sort of aiming mechanics present in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.

Unless I've been confused as to what 'iron sites' are, they are certainly there in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpm9qGDBEA8 video (21 seconds in, for example).

Mate, iron sights are in the game. Re-watch the E3 gameplay footage.

They meant weapon mods at the crafting bench not player made mods. You'll have access to different sighting options from day one

Yes, it's exactly the weapons that had iron sights in FO3...frankly "limited" iron sights. I don't see it for all the other guns. There's not even a front sight on the laser pistol, same as in FO3.

I do understand there are some guns with iron sights, I just want to make sure ALL guns have them.

They simply weren't aiming with Iron Sights for those guns?

Did you watch the combat video? They showed the modified pipe gun assault rifle with iron sights a few times.

https://youtu.be/FNfqQ7iJDg0?t=20s

If you look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNfqQ7iJDg0&feature=youtu.be&t=33s you will see first person aiming the pipe rifle with iron sight and then immediately releasing the zoom button.

A few other guns used in the video also have iron sights, but the player is only shooting from the hip with these, never fully zooms in. You can still see iron sight detail on the meshes though.

I'm quite sure the shishkebab doesn't have iron sights. You may be on to something... :bonk:

I hope you're correct Sir, I hope you're right. I can't easily preorder this game until this question isn't 100% answered. No iron sights on some guns would be entirely no go for me. Ok, the minigun doesn't have to have one I deem.

Yes, sure I noticed there are "some" guns with iron sights. But 1. they are limited, and 2. it's the same guns as in FO3, appearantly not all have them? I remember how I initially played FO3 and pistols didn't had iron sights. Then there was iron sights on one of the machine guns, and later on the laser weapons again didn't had iron sights.

I'm entirely sure I'm more experienced in any FO and TES title then you ever where and will be... :wink:

Did any gun in Fallout 3 have iron sights without a mod? I'm not sure they did. New Vegas had them.
