Bethesda's community lead Matt Grandstaff explained Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles won't be equipped to handle the software gap and hardware requirements the upcoming game will be utilizing, NeoGAF wrote.
According to Grandstaff, it would be akin to running year 2000 games on 1990 game systems, given the current gaming rigs have been standardized for 4K gaming, particularly open-world games that can be taxing on seventh generation consoles in terms of resource management: character customization, multiple endings, weather, and day and night cycles.
The upcoming open-world post-apocalyptic role playing game released its first trailer last week featuring a setting that takes place around 200 years after a war over earth's resources culminated in the 2077 nuclear holocaust.
The game's setting is placed in the Boston, Massachusetts countryside and parts of New England that have been named the Commonwealth.
The game series is known for its retrofuturistic setting featuring America's 1950s post-war culture, and has received universal acclaim from critics, with the highest rating of 92.85 percent GameRankings score given to "Fallout 3," which also scored a 93 Metacitic.
More details on "Fallout 4" are expected to be released during a Bethesda press conference at the E3 2015 in Los Angeles from June 16 to 18.
