30 fps is a fucking joke. Pc will always be where my heart is even though ive transitioned over to mainly xbox one. I just got sick of upgrading my pc and lost interest in all the tech stuff i used to enjoy.
Ill be buying fallout on xbone regardless.
I dunno man... I wouldn't do it if I were you.
They say 1080p/30fps on Xbox One, but imma tell you flat out, I'd bet it's not
really 1080p on release.
Lots of games say 1080p on the box, because that's the output resolution coming out of the frame buffer (or 1080i coming out of the RAMDAC). So, legally, yeah it's 1080 vertical lines.. But, in reality? It's very likely rendering to a 720p bitmap and being upscaled using a pixel shader.
Even on the PS4, Battlefront does this to get a 15% performance boost by cutting the equivalent 180 vertical lines of resolution and simply upscaling to 1080p from 900.
Going from 900 to 1080 is one thing, but from 720 to 1080 is another. 720p content on my 65" screen is very noticeable, and I'd expect the same playing Fallout 4 on an Xbone vs a PC.
Side-by-side image comparisons are a bit silly, because the display can't actually show both images natively. Instead it's more useful to compare the images stacked. Here is the difference between 720 and 1080p for those that don't know:
So what the Xbox One (and the PS4 to a lesser extent) is doing is taking the middle image and enlarging it using a nearest neighbor pixel shader to interpolate the missing data. This
invariably results in a more distorted picture. This is only not the case if you run at 720p natively, because then no upscaling is required. That is the only way you will get a 100% accurate picture, but doing so on a large screen (50"+) is problematic.
Lastly, the 30fps, for a first person shooter?
....
If you have a PC that can play Fallout 4, I'd strongly recommend just going that route. If you have Windows 10, they released the Xbone controller dongle so you can play the game just as if it was on the Xbox - but it's on Windows 10 instead.
To give you an idea of how I used to do my setup in Hawaii; my PC was in the other room and I ran a very long HDMI cable through the wall and around the floor to my TV. Even over 40 ft, HDMI will still work if the connectors are high grade and the cable is decently made.
Playing L.A. Noire on my PC with an Xbox 360 controller was no different than playing it on the 360 itself. With these new Windows 10 / Xbone games, the difference is simply non-existent as far as I know.
I just couldn't recommend anyone take that kind of hit, lose modability, lose graphics, lose replayability and portability of your save game, unless they had no other options. This could apply to any game really, but Fallout is a special case.
To play a game like New Vegas, without mods, is a
joke of an experience by comparison to playing it with mods installed. I typically run about 20+ mods simultaneously, and the experience has created an entirely new game. I highly doubt this will be possible on console platforms even if they do allow some degree of modding.
