Was Fallout 4 made for consoles?

Yes. All modern AAA games are made for consoles first, then ported to the PC. Because about 75% of all sales are on the consoles.

I know I'm being pedantic about this, and I do apologise, but I think the real reason why Fallout 4 is capped at 60 is because of their Creation engine or whatever it's called. There was a thread about this ages ago, where somebody explained that the frame rate cap was due to the game engine itself. It was just something I saw ages ago.

Anyway, removing the frame-rate limit will make the game go faster, because apparently the actual speed of the game itself is tied to the framerate. Whether that's by default or design, I don't know, but the frame-rate limit or cap is there to prevent everybody running around like The Flash.

Having said that, I'm not disputing what Bubblegum said. Nowadays, games are usually made with the console market in mind. People on computers are important too, it's just that console gamers are importanter, as it were, since they form a larger slice of the cake, or pie. Kind of like cars, I suppose. Manual/stick-shifts are phased out in favour of automatics, just as crossover SUVs are more popular than sedans or even hot-hatches.

You are correct. The engine could not handle above 60Hz even if they were making a PC only game. And this same engine is being used for their next two major games. Elder Scrolls 6 and maybe Fallout 5. It is possible to do about 72Hz. So I have seen in posts. Some people can, some can't. But I think I heard that they did something so that Fallout 76 can run faster than 60.

You are not going to get much street cred on this forum with that attitude. You were supposed to insult me.

[Isa_Fuie]

If that is what you want, or if that is what was expected of me, then all the more reason for me not to do so... Because I'm such a tease.

[Out Of Bubblegum]

Ah. Then that is OK then.

+1 to the not being able to handle above. Running at anywhere above those has a good chance to break many of the scripts, one of which being going into a terminal, causing you to just get stuck in place, having to reload to an earlier save.

Well damn. What did we do when we ran games on a Cathode Ray Tube?

You are partially correct. The engine uses frames to process scripting. When you force the frame rate too high the the scripting goes to @#$% because it does not have the time to process.
