Fallout 5: 13 Things We Want To See

11. Vastly Superior Graphics

Fallout 5
Bethesda

Fallout 4 is, to be kind, a game that feels rather behind-the-times from a visual perspective. Yes, the art direction is superb and it's understandable that the graphics have to take a hit to accommodate such an expansive world, but come on, it's pretty rough-looking at times.

Mods have been released to tidy things up, but the version of the game that shipped honestly doesn't look a million miles away from Fallout 3, which given the seven-year time-gap, is pretty embarrassing.

The environmental textures and facial animations can be especially horrible, and if Fallout 5 simply looks like a middling upgrade of FO4, there's going to be a severe fan backlash.

How Likely Is It?: Expecting a gorgeous FO5 is extremely wishful thinking, and again, FO4's sales prove graphics don't mean much to the series' fans.

It'll look better for sure, but vastly superior? Not a chance. 2/10
