As a credited Developer of this game. Thank you for the review. Mods for our game are safer since they just use plugin save files. Cheers!

R.I.P. Adam Adamowicz, his concept art for Fallout3/4 was stunning.

Youre a black belt in editing and filming book intros!!!! I looooooooove them

I loooooove fallout 4 , I know its not everyone's cup of tea but I've got more hours on it than skyrim, it's fairly standard gameplay and most of the quests are nothing massively out there but I still... I don't know its just so comforting and fun to me wandering about these sunlit wastes with cait and modding the heck out of the settlement builder so I can make mini villages, over lockdown i missed cafes and galleries so much that I made a load of my own in fallout 😆. The artbook is stunning and so much great talent and hard work went into the design. Great video as always adam, thank you for being so lovely and awesome ♡ want to go play fallout 4 again now 😀 I have this artbook on my shelf pride of place next to my klaus and hyung tae kim oxide books ♡

Fantastic art direction and world building. I spent many hours either driving the joystick or looking over my sons’ shoulders playing the Fallout games together. I grew up under the gloom of nuclear war reading Alas, Babylon and watching Mad Max and enjoyed the brown-stained dystopian world Bethesda made. What I never expected was the deep graft and crime behind the lore and debris of that world would reflect so accurately our own society and self-destruction. Still, we made some incredible profits for a few quarters. Maybe next-planet?

And I fall out of my chair in joy at the sight of a new Adam Duff video

I play it to this day. It's a nostalgia of somewhere I've never been.

I love the retro future concept of Fallout! it's probebly the coolest concept for any game by far for me, basicly how people in 1997 went back to how people in the 1950's thought the future was gonna look like but then an apocolaptic mad max vibe version of that on top, like such an original take.

Everything about this feels premium

Buying this book soon. Thanks for the preview!

I love these videos Adam. Because of you, I've bought The Art of Ghost of Tsushima... aaaaand since I'm always nerding out about Samurai/Japanese folklore, I've been using it for Inktober (also to keep me drawing every day.) Those ink sketches man.... I LIVE for that kinda stuff. It's honestly all I wanna do, but for illustrations instead of storyboards.

Bird Box, I think It was the movie Bird Box. It didn't have something in the Air, but something they were not allowed to see, but i remember this particular shot from this film.

WOW that book is MASSIVE i didnt know it was that big. The BioWare25 is that big as well as the Mass Effect trilogy artbook expanded edition

This is one of my favorite art books! I actually stumbled over pieces of the art here and there on the internet first, then got the artbook, and THEN had to get the actual game and play it :)

OMG, I love Fallout 4, and my favorite artist on YT is reviewing it. It is such a fantastic day.

Got this book about a month or 2 ago. One of my favourites. Beautiful book and a great video Adam!

This is an absolutely incredible art book! It is so full with amazing art work, and shows the many ideations they went through until they arrived to the final game product. While many of the more out-there designs didn't make it in the game, it's just a reminder of how the final game product is always a compromise between concept and what's possible with the tech the developers use.

Hope to see you review the art book of Dune's Movie :)

9:50 I believe the movie your mentioning is World Warz. I remember seeing it a few years ago; that scene does reminds me of a part in World Wars too. Fantastic book review!

Hello Adam, discovered your channel recently and can't tear myself away from watching your videos. Thank you so much for your hard work, you are truly an inspiration!

I have a lot of artbooks and i must to get this one too. I am not a Fallout 4 fan since i think that game was heavily constrained by that awful engine but i certainly appreciate the art direction. Adam you should get more Nintendo artbooks they are always huge in content and quality. Mario Odyssey, Splatoon Fire Emblem or bravely Default artbooks would blow your mind. Looking for next video i love this stuff!

This is one of my favorite IPs ever even with the studio hopping (Interplay, Black Isle, Obsidian, Bethesda) and I hope to find a hardcover copy in time for Xmas. thank you for the sneak peek Adam !

Great video as always Adam. For once though I can say I don't want that artbook, I already own it. 😁

Currently working on my college application essays😬!!! Just want to say thank you Adam🙏💙. Your videos help me relate to someone and reflect on certain thoughts I’ve had about what it is I want to pursue in the future. Your voice helps calm me and focus on the task at hand, so again thank you. Also love the music choice, it goes great with the fallout 4 “feel”.

I wanna say I love ur videos you are cool :D you made me love ART more

Thank you for making this video ❤️ I have a hard time explaining to my friends why fallout feels so awesome. Now I can just share this

I can now speak in essays! Though it was a habit for a few weeks, I've dialed back, knowing that it would go over most people's heads during a casual conversation. But I still haven't forgotten my ability to assess any situation, and give a PERFECT response in an instant! (To think I would find English class 'helpful', lol) Finally, 1 month ago, I can proudly say that I MASTERED psychology. I really mean it! It's not arrogance nor naivety, everything just clicks with me as easy as breathing! After I mastered psychology, I stopped studying biology, I even stopped working on high school. My final exams are next week. It may seem stupid, but I'll explain: While studying psychology through the previously mentioned audiobooks, I was also working on my portfolio to get into the game design school of my dreams! I was putting it off, but I worked on it 15 hours a day for 2 weeks, and I actually got accepted, Mid-INTERVIEW! EARLY ENTRY!!!!! (So, I'll be starting next year. It's in the city, and I even got a scholarship, so I don't have any debt to pay off - until I get a job as the scholarship is VET, but I don't have to worry about interest or anything since that part is covered by the government. On top of that, It's also the Harvard of game creation, where the syllabus and teaching are organized by people who SUCCEEDED within the industry. For example, one of my teachers worked on the visual effects of Avengers Infinity war!!!!!!! Also, they allow students to create their own indie-game company mid-studies with other students and people that hire the private company the school runs for their own collaborative projects. They even have connections with big game companies like riot games for internships. And right after graduation, any word of recommendation from our teachers, and the graduates are sent STRAIGHT TO THEIR JOB IN ONE OF THOSE COMPANIES!!!) Now, the reason why I stopped studying anything highschool related, should be clear now. I'm being held back by it. So I have been working 10-15 hours every day on mastering concept art, one of the first skills I wish to acquire before I attend this school. (I'll just mention this school, it's called 'AIE' or Academy of interactive entertainment within Australia - there are online courses for those wondering overseas) I just went to the city today to check it out, but also to celebrate my 18th birthday today, (yes, I really did just turn 18). So I hope you all see why I believe anything is possible in my eyes. Why people can reach great heights if they have a passion, and stick to it. Whether it's bodybuilding, science, teaching, art, anything STEM, anything non-STEM, economics even! If you want it, you CAN have it. I want this story to be told no matter what, so that's why it is here. I don't want people to be dumb anymore. Yes, people, these days are actually dumber than people in the past, it's not ONLY because dumb people have a voice now to tell their stupid ideas on the internet. And despite that, even the technologies that make us dumb, if used consciously, can become a tool for making you SMARTER!! So please, if there is anyone that desires to, join me in my 'army of science' one day. (The reason why I am doing art first for those wondering, is so I can master game design first. Once I do that, I will be a master within the industry - I HAVE to work at Square Enix, their games changed my life due to their philosophical storytelling, and I have my own that I believe could outcompete theirs. If I can prove that, then I'll be sooooo happy!!! -. After that, I will leave that behind. I don't want to be the 'best', I want to be the greatest! There is a difference. Being the best is winning a competition between others, but if all I'm getting is a hand full of contestants, then it isn't worth my time. So being the greatest in achieving all my goals for knowledge AND innovation. - When I leave this job behind, I will study all things science at MIT, as I'm sure a master and the greatest game designer would be able to accumulate such fees. Ok, that's all. I'll see you all when I achieve my first major goal! (Or more like, you'll see me :D)

I enjoyed some aspects of Fallout 4 but would have preferred much more agency and interesting world building questlines. A lot of the quests felt a bit cheap to me and worst of all I had to play as someone else rather than the character I want to be (in terms of appearance, voiced protagonist, and lack of meaningful dialogue options). Those two things are what I play BGS games for and they dropped the ball on both. I'm not claiming its a bad game, just that they took the design in a direction that I wasn't into. That said I still put a good 50 hours into the game and enjoyed myself overall. I really look forward to Starfield because I can already tell that player agency is back on the menu so I can't wait to see what they come up with.

Some day, you'll have to change your channel name to Artdad. Why? Because you read us bed time stories like this, and you help us grow as artists with your art talks and mentorships

One of the few artbooks I got my hands on! This game is one of my favorites! Awesome in any aspect but the design is something special!

I LOVED this artbook probably as much if not more than the game. My galfriend got it for me for Christmas last year and I have since have left it open on a book stand on my desk, give me inspiration as I create. It makes me want to become more invested into 3D modeling and programing to take a lot of these concepts and bring them into the game.

I repeat myself, your last videos increased a lot in terms of video editing. Thumbs up!

Got the book too, flipping through it alongside the video :) I like your thoughts on it, didn't see things that way myself.

Colverfield place? Is that the zombie spores in the air you meant?

Would love to see you review Simon Stalenhag's The electric state.

10:15 kinda reminds me of the movie Bird Box. hahah not sure if this was the movie you were referring to but loved your review as always. Gonna add this art book to my collection someday, thanks Adam!

Apropos Cyberpunk 2077, definitely check out Tim Rogers' review that came out just a few days ago! (under his Action Button youtube channel) It's really good! (and long)

Chill Adam lemme finish binge watching your other artbook reviews. On a real i cant wait to see this one🔥🔥

yeah it's very true to me, I like the art more than the game

Hi Adam, thank you for the review. I have the book and it is great :) The movie with Brad Pitt is World War Z, but I don't remember the virus being airborne in there. I think you might be referring to Carriers with Chris Pine. EDIT: oh yeah, The Happening as smallpurplemonk mentioned. I forgot about that one :)

Love your style of articulation! I wanted to shout out an artbook that I recently purchased - "Knights and Bikes Artbook" very unique compared to the larger studio artbooks. It's mainly scans from the designers notebooks, you might dig it!

Great Book for fallout 4, maybe 5 will be close to this with a new engine....

This is really nice review. Thank you for the valuable insights. I really gained something in your review.

It reminds me of the 1970's american popart

Hey, I have that one! It's weird to watch 'reviews' of things I already have, but it was insightful to get an artist's opinion on it. I should pick up some new ones soon. Though it gets expensive really fast.

Accents of cyan and red all over :)

Hey Adam, will we see one review/unboxing of the Art of Dishonored 2 book sometime soon? :)

Super cool. I liked the compared shots while changing up the lighting. Was that zombie movie you were thinking of called World War Z?

I feel like maybe you're mixing World War Z and Sandra Bullocks Bird Box?

I like to listen to your videos when I’m doing my own art. I hope my channel has similar vibes to yours one day.

my man really got his entire Microsoft account compromised permanently trying to download a Minecraft mod lmaoooo

damn the book has away stronger mood than the game. this makes me think that the game might have looked better if it was more stylized.(maybe like a style similar to the dishonored series)

Adam did you ever think to make a Kratos beard. nordic Kratos not greek kratos

15:30 haha 😂 exactly my feelings on Bethesda games. They've traditionally done a huge disservice both to the incredible artists and the players by just reusing an ancient graphics engine. Hopefully the acquisition by Microsoft will raise the quality standards to modern specifications lol

Shame that so many games are being ruined by mediocre direction and streamlining themselves to death. The art and music keep improving and the tech always gets better, but each day more and more games come out completely broken, devoid of features, filled with microtransactions while adding basically nothing, re-releasing every year to milk franchises. I can only hope that more talented individuals will realise this situation and start more indie studios such as the Blizzard devs last year.

World War z the zombie movie your thinking of the one with brad pit.

amazing art, skyrim next?

yay

Adam I would heavily recommend Prey (2017) if you haven't experienced it! I feel its comparable to Cyberpunk on release with how snubbed it got by reviews but it's by Arkane so the art direction and world design in it is bar none.

The movie you are talking about is called World War Z which has one of the most inspiring quotes of all time : “Mother Nature is a serial killer. No ones better. More creative. Like all serial killers, she can't help but the urge to get caught. What good are all those brilliant crimes if nobody takes the credit? So she leaves crumbs. Now, the hard part is, and why you spend decades in school, is seeing the crumbs for the clues they are. Sometimes the thing you thought to be the most brutal aspect of the virus, actually turns out to be the chink in its armor. She loves disguising her weaknesses as strengths. She's a b*tch.”

Very great video! I’d love to see a review of the Super Mario Odyssey art book!

If only the game was as good as the concept art

I've nothing much to say other than: Hi Adam :3

Nice Vídeo :3

The Happening

you mean the 1960's era style? also the movie with Brad Pitt is World War Z.

We were friend until you said .....cyberpunk is a masterpiece jk love ur vids

don't know if anyone commented on it already, but the movie you mentioned is probably World War Z

Uhhh play 76

how the hell do you get your microsoft account hacked after installing a minecraft mod XD

Fallout 3 and New vegas art style was better

fallout 3 and NV is garbage in terms of performance and stability. But they are the best games i've played in my WHOLE life. Over 800 hours on both of them. Fallout 4 obviously has the best performance. Not may favorite out of the series though.

fo4 is 💩
