Bethesda Speaks Out on Fallout 4 Criticism

Pete Hines says that the criticism "doesn't upset us."

After Fallout 4 was announced,  not everyone was pleased with the post-apocalyptic role-playing game's graphics and gameplay. Now, Bethesda marketing chief Pete Hines has responded to those criticisms as part of a new interview, saying it "definitely doesn't upset us."

"As with most forms of entertainment, you never get 100 percent agreement on anything," he 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."

Some fans have criticised the way in which Fallout 4's gameplay is similar to Fallout 3, Hines says that Fallout 4 is a "mix of familiar and different."

"I mean, certainly it ought to look and feel familiar," he said. "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. 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."

The Fallout 4 release date is set for November 10 across PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.
