What happened to Dave from digital foundary
So to summarize:
They basically released a PC version for the current gen consoles, that broke existing and essential quality of life improvements/mods.
This version is currently not even working properly on Xbox.
There is no HDR, no motion blur or new postprocessing (not even in the 30/40fps modes which is madness) no ray tracing, no graphical improvements, apart from minor tweaks to LOD, volumetrics, shadow resolution that PC version already had... Also, why is there a 30/40 fps mode in such an old game?
This game is almost 10 years old and Xbox and PS5 are still dropping frames to 50s.
According to John's standards, we could easily call this game "retro" in just few months.
Ultrawide screen stretches HUD from 16:9 and simply zooms in the whole FOV - there is no proper widescreen support. (this is what mods fixed ages ago)
Locked to 60fps and if you unlock it, the game falls apart.
Now compare this "next gen" update to Witcher 3 real next gen update, which was also free, that shipped with perfect HDR, ray tracing and plethora of other visual improvements.
🤦
I know right...
What are they even doing on Bethesda?
All I care about is that they made it 60 on console and they did
To summarize, you hate Bethesda and everything they do and stand for, which begs the question, why are you still so concerned about their games? Just stop playing them and whining about not liking them. You don't see me playing games I don't like and bitching about how much I hate them.
As for The Witcher 3, yeah, they've added ray tracing, but the gameplay is still the very definition of eurojank but at least now you can fight the controls and the horrible UI in glorious RTX. Yay!
Bethesda is sooooooo bad. Starfield is a joke of a game. 2024 game made with literal 2011 tech lmao. Bg3 and starfield came out in the same year!
@@adriank8792 the copium its so strong it hurts

@@somethingsomethingsomethingdar hahaha

Best Comment I read during finals 💀@@thepadster123
Fallout 4 loses HDR support on Series X & S with April 25th update. I was very disappointed to see when booting up Fallout 4 post update on my Series X that native HDR is not supported. Given that now the game has been “upgraded” to a Series X & S game, you can no longer utilize Auto HDR (which looked fantastic on Fallout 4). I’m really hoping that Bethesda is able to add HDR support back.
That Fallout update was driving me nuts. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't tell the difference.
I could tell the quality from performance with the fps jump.
Because its a BS update. Should have only been done on consoles... but nope they wanted to break the pc version.
@@lolmao500 This update was announced at least 6 months ago at this point. You should have known it was coming and not be surprised by it.

Bizarre how developers keep releasing Xbox versions “with wrong settings / settings turned off” at launch of the product…. Even MS’s own internal dev employees… utterly bizarre
Really makes you wonder what’s going on there.

Always good to see Tom. Him and Audi don't get to show up very often but both are always appreciated.
Tom: "900p, with no anti-aliasing so it's uhh..."
Alex: "the Nintendo Special"
1:25:11 That had me dying.
Alex hates nintendo lol
Nintendo rarely uses AA on their games though
@@ZonaiResearcher I'm thinking of the time that John recommended to Alex that he give TOTK a shot and Alex just made a face lol
@@sneakygurlI like Alex but that PC Master race mentality is so childish and stupid... I have a good pc and it doesn't stop me from enjoying games on switch.
By now I'm 100% convinced Bethesda is just one guy working on the attic. In his spare time. The rest is just smoke and mirrors. I mean, is there even a professional team left in their building?
No,just Todd.
Releasing a "next gen" patch that adds no real graphical improvements, fixes none of the existing issues and flat out doesn't work on Xbox is a bold strategy by Bethesda, let's see how it plays out for them.
It's crazy! You'd think they would've had it ready for the company that owns them.
They’re already eyeing up Fallout5 which is ridiculous seeing as they can’t even fix their games already released.
We should stop buying their products maybe then they wake up...😒
I knew they did no big fixes when I could still do the workshop duplication glitch lol.
It's just hilarious to think they found the time to polish on the competitors console and not on their own. Moreover, not only does the quality mode doesn't work on the Xbox but the quality mode on the PS5 is still more stable than the Xbox version. @@arronstone177

The number of people that expected a Bethesda release to work on release day is shocking.
Starfield worked at launch.
@@deathtrooper2048 Umm... Not quite. Maybe-somewhat-better-than-normal-Bethesda standards is still embarrassingly below the general standard
@@cosmosofinfinityStarfield was perfectly fine on Series X on day one. It is genuinely one of the least buggy game experiences I've had this generation. Games like Lord's of The Fallen are still completely messed up on console but it's much more fun to make fun of Bethesda than acknowledge they actually didn't do as bad as everyone says they did
Tom! Good to have you!
Man, what the heck is Bethesda doing that they borked every single version of the FO4 update? They have plenty of time, money, and personnel to get the job done right but they never fail to fail.
More Todd “magic.” Honestly, no idea what they are doing there. Its wild they released this when its so half baked and apparently took years lol
Every? I think the PS5 version is working as intended.
@@yomamasohot6411 Not at launch with the PSN update availability snafu. Literally something wrong with every version though to be fair, the PS5 version is the least borked.

Thomas Morgan! Welcome back!
I can hear you guys talk about tech all day, Alex did a great job talking about the tech presentations at the dev conferences, super interesting
Tom is really cool and it's always a joy to see him. I really love his reviews and takes. They don't have to emphasize Tom's appearances. From what I'm reading in the comments, we're extremely happy to have Tom whenever we see him.
Tom is awesome! Always enjoyed his Switch deep dives.
The Nvidia TressFX for his hair takes up a lot of the frametime budget, coupled with Oliver's bespoke Bokeh depth of field, or John's per pixel per object motion blur would be too taxing on performance.
🎯😁@@shaecouture7480
Tom's appearance is great, they all are.
@@shaecouture7480TressFX was AMD tech 😱
I don't why people expect competence from Bethesda, they haven't been releasing quality product for years. They still get basic shit wrong that they've been getting wrong for as said years now, like bullets ejecting in impossible backwards positions from some guns in starfield.
'Exclamation Point!', and 'Meat & Drink' badges incoming!
In the here and now.
I think what happened with Bethesda and the Fallout 4 "Patch" is, that they didn't really plan on making it. They had all their hopes resting on Starfield, and when that went kinda sideways, they didn't really havea team ready to work on Fallout. So, when the Prime Video Show was coming up they just sort of rushed a quick fix out there and what we currently see is the "dog food" release.
They did plan it on making it, wanna know why? Because they knew that another fallout won’t come out in the next 10 years.
But this is par for the course for Bethesda.
So Bethesda are lying with that tweet? That's outrageous.
Why dont more games do 40fps? Its such a great middle ground
To use 40 fps you need a 120 hz display and since not everyone has one of those most developers probably don’t think it’s worth the time to make a 40 fps mode.
@@treesnip5667Yes, but people who has bought new screens in the recent years probably got a 120hz one
@@RiseWegI’d wager even most new tv purchases are 60. 120hz TVs are usually much more expensive.
@@RiseWegPC gamers with a GPU strong enough for 120fps and who know about 120hz screens buy 120hz screens. That is absolutely not the majority of consumers
@@RiseWeg I'm cheap and poor and even I bought a 120hz one about three years ago.
The ultrawide support is so bad that the screen where you enter your SPECIAL stats and name breaks to the point where you can't enter your name>
Also the stretched HUD and squished models in the crafting benches have been present in Fallout 76 ever since they added ultrawide "support" if they never fixed it in 76 I doubt they'll bother in 4.
One thing you can always count on from Bethesda: Radio silence when they screw up. Just went onto their website and there is nothing addressing the recent update mess. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Lords of the Fallen was fun but I don't think 30+ post launch updates, most of which were rooted in fixing bugs and performance, is something worth celebrating.
😂
This last update actually fixed 60 fps mode, meanwhile square enix never even bothered to actually fix ff16's performance mode
@@user-iy6nu8np5k Meanwhile Bethesda never bothered fixing any of their games
@@user-iy6nu8np5k Optimisation isn't magic. FF16 has some of the more "next gen" (i.e current gen) visuals for a PS5 game. It's like saying Hellblade 2 is horribly optimised.
FF16 threw in a performance mode because people will still get some use out of it in less taxing scenes. It's good that they gave the player the option. *Let's not hold it against them.* It would just be nice if they added a 40fps mode.
Lords Of The Fallen was completely different. It was genuinely a horrifically optimised and broken game that barely worked properly. *It's not comparable.*
The only reason I give them a pass is because the update included a lot of new features that aren't related to bugs.
4k DF direct, we have ascended
nice to have Tom in df weekly !
If only they (Bethesda) put as much attention to detail in their games as they did the TV show.
"Its running great, It is a next gen Xbox game. We really do push the technology so you may need to upgrade your Xbox for this game but it's got a lot of great stuff going on in it and the fans are responding awesome." - The Toddster
Good to see Tom on this week's show.
Always like to see Tom pop up on these, really appreciated his input for Fallout 4 as I'm playing it now.
When it comes to the next gen patch for Fallout 4, the shadow drawing distance is still the low setting on PC from 10 years ago lol
My biggest gripe so far. It seems like we're the only ones who care
Shadows are an expensive setting to turn up on most games anyway, but it's incredible how taxing they are on Bethesda games!
@@plume... They could have increased the draw distance in the 30 fps mode
@@plume... Ultra settings were already available on computers from 10 years ago, so I think the PS5 would be one of the most powerful computers back then.
it's just a cheap patch that was made quickly before the hype on the TV show dies down, and as we already know, the sales of all Fallout games have increased dramatically and many will be tempted to buy F4 because there is a "next gen" version. As usual, money plays the main role. They don't give a damn that they ruined all the mods that the community and fans had been working on for months and years on PC. This is what this company is like.
@@BadRobo82 Correct.
Love to see Tom 👌
What happened to Bethesda? Their game quality has dropped considerably, they refuse to redo their engine from the ground up (which it desperately needs), and now they can't even get an update right, especially on the hardware of the company that owns them. Not to mention that they completely fucked over their modders who have put in so much work to improve the games and keep them alive for years longer than normal.
1:11:52 Alex saying “thanks mate” mid sip in a British accent really threw me off 😂

Why didn't they improve the shadow draw distance in Fallout 4 on console? It's very low. People whine about resolutions these days, but this is a visual setting that actually matters.
It’s low on pc too. Bethesda is awful at optimizing games, idk wtf is going on over there
@@TheGlowingOnee It's not low on PC if you select ultra settings
For real! I'd rather play a 1080p with as many ultra settings the game allows in HDR than a bare bones 2160p game with crap shadows and lightning with no HDR
@@benstephens187 Yeah, 4K waste GPU resources
Finally, some XBOX rep as Timothy Chalamamay joins the show
Another issue with Fallout 4 on PC is the tendency for the launcher on some PC's to not list any kind of resolution that isn't 1080p. If your monitor's resolution is 4K or 1440p, sometimes the option for you to play the game at those resolutions in full screen mode won't show up, at which point you'll have to play in windowed mode, which creates a smaller window for the game that only takes up roughly 75% of your display (which you can't re-size). As of me posting this comment, this isn't fixable by changing the resolution in the game's config files. The game was forcing me to play at some weird resolution of a ratio not 16:9, which made everything look distorted and blurry.
How in the world is something like this even an issue? I have never encountered something like this in all my years of playing games on PC. This isn't even something I remember dealing with on PC in the mid-2000s (other than maybe Oblivion lol). It boggles my mind that Bethesda Game Studios is a multi-billion dollar company rather than a tiny studio run by a handful of people. These kinds of little issues should not exist on games made by a company of this size. Also, the Xbox version having a quality mode that simply doesn't work is so rich. How Microsoft can mismanage things to even let that happen, I don't know. Bethesda has a well earned reputation at this point for really technically insufficient work and it seems like they just don't care and take steps at every turn to reinforce that reputation. I'm glad Baldur's Gate 3 stole Starfield's thunder because Bethesda needs to be humbled. Their workmanship is piss poor compared to other studios in the industry.
Hurray, it's Tom!
Bethesda disappoints me more each year.
Great to see Tom. He and Olly easily the best DF'ers.
Is there a study on the creation engine? How that thing keeps runing is held together with gum probably at this point
i loved alexs deep dive. Looked up that cyberpunk od presentation myself and its really fascinating
93 Doom is THE Doom, imo. I recently started making maps again cause it's a great creative outlet. The reboots are fine but the whole locked arena gunfights gameplay never sat well with me. And then Eternal feels like a wild fever dream. Too many things going on, too many mechanics to remember. The simplicity of '93 is pure magic.
So you are just bad then and cant adapt to modern fps gameplay
It's a matter of preference really. I prefer doom 93 for it's simplicity but I do get bored of the constant brown/gray/red maps in these games. Stuff like Duke nukem 3d or shadow warrior 97 was always my kinda vibe.
OG Doom all the way, and I don't even mean to denigrate Doom 2016 which I really really like, having beaten it twice. OG Doom is just so seminal and remains so fresh and visceral despite the years.
@mrpiratefox4497 That was your take away?
@@deepblue8143 what other takeaway can i have when the reason he doesnt like the new games is "too many mechanics"??
Always nice to see Tom in these
Before games like Doom or Wolfenstein 3D, the PC wasn’t even seen as a gaming machine. Not anything too serious. People usually played on a console, or on computers with dedicated graphics and sound processing chips like the Commodore machines, or the Atari St and such. The IBM PC and compats weren’t even really considered for action games. Doom solidified PCs into the action gaming-space, and did it in a way to take advantage of the one thing PCs had over the other systems. CPU power and the PCs use of chunky pixels over planar. It reversed the advantage, due to how the graphics were rendered at the time. It also was one of the earliest examples, of some sort of clock-based speed where many games before it didn’t and could run too fast the moment they were put on a faster machine.
I've been pretty forgiving of the xbox developers whose games look/run slightly better on ps5 vs series x. It's issues that 99% of people wouldn't have noticed if digital foundry didn't point it out. And even after pointing it out, the vast majority of people probably still don't notice when playing the game. Agreed that it still shouldn't happen, but it doesn't really bother me.
Having an entire graphical mode that doesn't work on the series x version, but does work on the ps5 version, is absolutely inexcusable, though. How does that even happen?
Doesn´t look good for Series X. My main issue with the Series X is that recording gameplay footage doesn´t work right, my usb 3.0 stick won´t always be recognized as being 3.0, the console is just producing broken video files then. You´re better off using it for games and streaming your gameplay on twitch albeit lower quality and 30 FPS
I'm sick of the Series X getting the shorter end of the stick.
@@deepblue8143and from the first party studios none the less so no one can argue "Sony paid them to do it"
@@lerutyreally simple work around is just use the share feature and upload clips to one drive. You can download them from there at full 4k 60 fps no problem.
@@thequinlanshow3326 I´m talking about longer recordings (up to 1 hour), the xbox people at microsoft don´t know how to develop shit, why can´t I just record 1 hour and save the clip on the built in ssd?
What did Intel expect when they thought "Oh yeah 300 Watts at insane Voltages are okay..."
Intel is desperate to keep some sort of significance, so they need to use twice as much power to keep up with AMD and then put the blame in MB manufactures for implementing their "intentionally not intentionally worded technical documentation". Thats what you get for slackig off for 8 years.
Hooray for Tom...this like the 4th I've seen him on the Weekly..he's an OG!

Thoughts on Using Special-K to force Settings into Fallout 4? Especially on the handeheld PCs?
You guys are exactly right about Doom. ;)
If yall see it - Fallout on PS5
4K30 and 4K40 both work based on 120hz mode being on / off. 4K60 runs in 60hz mode. 1440p forced resolution keeps the game at 60fps, but quality mode with 120hz on does run the screen in 120hz mode, while performance keeps it in 60hz mode. Kind of odd. Both 60fps output it looks like.
Trouble is Bethesda see next gen as Ps3
It's not like Bethesda to do the bare minimum!
It is however like Bethesda to do less than the bare minimum!
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 haha, and even mess that up
Did Richard just announce exclamation point merch? 1:48
So correct me if I'm wrong, is the radiance cache only available in the ultimate edition of CP77 or do they include it in the 2.0 update?
CHECKS NOTES
With all due respect to Alex, it's not just the motherboard manufacturers that are responsible. Intel, losing market share, in multiple markets even, is pushing hard for the crown. They are not just looking the other way as motherboard makers code factory OC to compete with each other. This is very much Intel driving the behavior to compete with AMD, as it always has been, least we have a repeat of the dreaded Athlon XP era. I mean how dare another company have double digit market share in this monopoly.
I REALLY love the intro bit Rich started doing!
I love when games and such are spoken about in such a calm way ....Thanks guys ✌
reduction in console upgrading is just a fact in a world where people are being laid off, cost of living is rising, and a lot of jobs are paying way below a living rate.. People make due with what they have. If you want average people to be consumers, and you want to keep infinitely growing, you have to give people the money to spend.
I really missed the tune played in the intro…
Same!!
1:43:56 Action Button reference! Love his stuff
I played the PS5 version and I noticed a huge amount of draw distance issues, I loaded up my save from my PS4 version and walked towards Sanctuary from Red Rocket
And it was drawing everything in but that was performance mode I think I only played it for 4hrs but I did see a lot of draw distance issues
I even tested the HD textures on PC because my RX580 couldn't use it. But my RX6600 can and I honestly to god notice no difference in textures at all
I'm shocked a Bethesda game running better on Playstation than Xbox, those who played Fallout 3 on PS3 will know what I am on about, especially the GOTY edition
I don't think they fixed anything at all really
I still remember playing fallout 3 on ps3, it was a nightmare..god
@@TheGlowingOnee I had to save every 15 mins when playing any of the DLC because it would crash the console. In the end I had to use my watch timer to let me know when to save and after it would crash every time, because they never fixed the 10mb save file big
Hello! It’s nice to see Tom again!!!
Got a spreadsheet to do simple math about the 40->120->60 frame interpolation:
- Usual 40->60: 1/3 frames arrive at time, 1/3 of the frames are duplicated of the frames that arrived on time, 1/3 of the frames arrived late, causing terrible frame pacing.
- Bonkers 40->120->60 interpolation: 1/3 of the frames are "real" frames, 2/3 of the frames are interpolated, all with (ideally) perfect frame pacing.
So the idea is basically using motion vectors to fix bad frame pacing, if latency isn't crazy, I think it is a pretty good idea.
I hope they at least fixed the constant VATS crashing and Outpost Zimonja raider bug that results in a 100% certain inevitable failed quest
I definitely should try 40fps modes more. It's good you guys have highlighted and pushed for this.
The fallout update has introduced bugs into the vats. Happened to me and is corroborated by a short google.

Can we the the "She's a hot beast" Battaglia quote. That shit was hilarious.
I love the new 40fps patches that we're getting this gen. It really is a best of both worlds. It has the image quality of quality mode with ALMOST the same fluidity of performance modes. Even for a small 10fps bumps it feels MUCH smoother.
It feels surreal to read this comment section having played games at 144 fps for years
40 fps? Ideal? lol
@@Marchochias144fps for years? What are you playing? Fortnite at 720p?
13:10 Not to mention the fact that, in the weeks leading up to this update, you couldn't play the PS4 version on PS5 through back-compat without it crashing (depending on what DLC you had installed). Really sloppy stuff
What an awesome episode of the podcast! It's 2 hours+ and yet I didn't get bored for a single a second. So many interesting topics!
The 40fps mode on PS5 has been unexpectedly my favourite. It's such a shame Xbox users will have to wait longer to access it. Very bizarre this update took so long.
Isn't it funny how Fallout 4 got a current gen upgrade but RDR 2 still hasn't? Funny in a frustrating way that is
We were going to until rockstar changed their mind, still crazy til this day
RDR2 desperately needs one too. RDR2 is the only console game I keep my console offline for to play at version 1.00 and on One X it was really good with occasional frame drops, on Series X though it feels like its the exact same performance with no upscaling done. Really sucks because I think the 1.00 version of the game looks way better than the current version
@@thequinlanshow3326 I remember also preferring the disc version on PS5
How to enable the Asus FrameGeneration stuff for ROG Ally?
In the AMD Driver. You can activate it on a game based system. But keep in mind it doesn't work with asus performance overlay.
I wish Tom was on more often, he’s great! My favorite.
Surely this would have run at 4k 60fps on new gen consoles? It was never that heavy for appropriate hardware.
They obviously didn't give a damn and wanted to release this as a next gen version because the Amazon series came out....this has to be the most embarrassing next gen upgrade I've ever seen 😒
@xenomorphlover looks and runs great on the ps5 though. I might actually play through it now. Couldn't be bothered on ps4.
Hey look is that guy!
I played FO4 maybe a year or two ago on PC, maybe I had a mod that adjusted this or ENB had some benefit, but the shadow draw distance seems abysmal in any of these modes on any console. It stands out so much with the sheer volume of dead trees littering the landscape. It's so jarringly bright. If it were my choice, I'd take a small hit to every other visual setting to push the shadows out further.
