I just watched the leaked real gameplay power armor footage already shown off in the E3 show demo.
It was nice seeing it uncut or edited. Power armor looks fun and feels powerful.

But wow!
If you get a chance watch how the Deathclaw moved.

It looks like an actual animal prowling before an attack. It was slinking back and fourth trying to find a week spot or flank to attack you from.

This is miles better that the FO3/NV deathclaws that run in a straight line at you with their arms out.

The Fo3/NV Deathclaws were never meant to be enemies. They are just excited to see you and need some cuddles. Maybe they had a hard day at Deathclaw work or something.

They're like dogs but far more deadly.

This is what I've been trying to tell people! People are complaining about the animations and graphics, and I'm just sitting here blown away at how FO4 is leaps and bounds ahead of FO3! Have you seen any characters in action? Moving all over the place, raising their eyebrows and the such while talking? It's not that one static lopping idle animation anymore where they would raise one hand, and then lower it. These guys are acting like real people. Reminds me of Mass Effect a little. They're walking around, and doing stuff, while having emotion behind their actions.

I was impressed (well, except for the part where the Deathclaw got stuck behind a car for awhile). They look so much more intimidating now that they can toss around someone in Power Armor and zig zag around.

The biggest problem is just the mouth movement. It looks like the Canadians in south park when a character talks.

Deathclaw is like dog but not.

Same with those geckos the always wanted to give hugs.

I'm impressed how he can lift you up and smash you down in your P.A like HULK.

"What's your problem, buddy?" "I'm not your buddy, friend". "I'm not your friend, guy".

I wonder if deathclaws can rip you out the suit and *hug* you as a death animation, would be brutal

That be awesome.

lmao!

I liked how the bullet impact your P.A lights up when hit by the metallic parts,it's freaking awesome.

Just saw it.. Looks pretty cool

He's not your guy, buddy!

INB4 taming deathclaws and giving them commands.

The deathclaw actually seemed to be trying to dodge the fire from the minigun. Darting from side to side while getting sprayed.

That's something I very rarely see in games.

I hope thats just a lag between capturing converting and uploading.

Bah. My characters eat deathclaws for breakfast. Next!

That's because your playing it wrong on Easy Peasy.

J/K

no joking but i trying to kill a Deathclaw playing at Very Hard on F3, when i was i think level 20, and they [censored] me up really quick. High level yeah they become easy to deal more from far away with my cool sniper rifle.

At high levels I'll get all of the sniper related type perks. Three shots in the head in VATS will kill them. And if I miss one of those shots, I'm in trouble.

Sounds pretty cool, OP. I haven't seen any of the leak footage and even though I knew Beth is not the best animators in the world, I knew they were going to be certain animations done right. All these nitpicking extravaganza that we are having right now without having yet to play the game and see the game as a whole with all the features it offers, instead of seeing it from personal expectations and through the lens of somebody else, is really unreasonable. I can understand people throwing rotten tomatoes after they have experienced the game with significant amount of playthrough.

Annabelle with high explosive missles destroyed deathclaw in NV. I do hope thier tactics changed and they are much tougher. We need at least one enemy we have to run from and fear.
