"Fallout 4," the much-awaited and long-rumored post-apocalyptic role-playing game, is reportedly not much of a hit to fans in terms of its graphics. Game developer Bethesda, however, doesn't mind if gamers aren't too dazzled by the game's visual quality.
Pete Hines, Vice President of PR and Marketing at Bethesda, recently sat down with Metro for an interview about the upcoming title. He acknowledged that not everyone can be pleased, and this does not apply to the gaming industry alone.
"As with most forms of entertainment, you never get 100 percent agreement on anything," Hines said. "And so, at the end of the day, whether it's what the graphics look like or whether the gameplay is what you want or whether you like the setting, or whatever it is, everybody is entitled to their opinion."
On fans' comments on the gameplay for "Fallout 4," which is very different from that of its predecessor, Hines said it isn't a surprise as Bethesda itself made it a point to make it feel different while making it familiar, too.
"If you played 'Fallout 3' you ought to be able to see things that are recognizable or similar or whatever. Because we didn't make a completely different game," Hines explained. "But at the same time, when you're playing it, it's a mix of familiar and different. There are things that are the same and there are things that are very different."
Hines also talked about the sudden announcement of the existence of "Fallout 4," which Bethesda did not previously hint at. He discussed the game studio's marketing plan that included announcing it five months prior to its release with few to no clips or previews.
Hines said that the developer wanted the team to focus on the game and not on making teasers and promos. This proved effective, with the game gaining and keeping massive attention.
"Fallout 4" will be released on Nov. 10.
