In an interview with Metro, Bethesda marketing chief Pete Hines responded to critics of early looks at Fallout 4’s graphics and gameplay, saying that you can’t please everyone when it comes to entertainment.
"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."
In addition to complaints over the graphics of Fallout 4, some have also taken issue with the perceived gameplay being too similar to Fallout 3’s gameplay.
"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."
Hines believes that once players get their hands on Fallout 4 and have a chance to sink some time into it, they will see that it is not a direct copy of Fallout 3.
"If you jump into the game and you play it for an extended period of time you'll start to feel the differences and how much some things have changed," he said.
Fallout 4 will be released on Nov. 10 on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4, but don’t expect to hear much about the story any time before that.
